Maybe since college is the new High School we should fund colleges completely. I'm pretty sure my local high schools cost of administration haven't gone up 237% like colleges the last 20 or so years. https://www.usnews.

I've paid for 4-5 different streaming services over the last few years trying to see matches. They inevitably don't work, which is the only reason I use streams I find online. If some random dude with pr0n popups can make it work

Yep, had that on my one 5 1/4" disk I got from a friend in school. Didn't know these games were in color until I was in college many years later (only ever saw green screens). There was a lawn mowing game I loved as well. Plu

Consulting is just relationship management and perceptions. And lots of travel in my experience.

>Full-time university glass blowers are considered tops in their field, but few institutions still offer such positions or give young glass blowers the chance to hone their craft. Seems like they've created the issue themselves.

Build more housing where? Belmont? Woodside? Atherton? The Bay itself? I loved my time in Redwood City, more housing would certainly not make it better. If you live in a nice house, the idea of a huge apartment complex next door would not b

They buy from people in need as well. I debated on selling them my F150. They offered me 17k and I told them to go fuck themselves. It got totaled ~4 years later and I got a bit over $17k. So the people that need cash will bend over. Those

Dandelion Air is a geothermal system that moves heat between the house and the ground using plastic pipes and a pump -- bringing heat to the building in winter and pushing heat to the ground in summer. So what we've been putting in hom

COBOL is terrible to work in. I was forced to take it in my MIS program in the 90s. We had the option of taking COBOL II or C Programming. Easiest choice I ever made (C of course). They touted how everyone would be able to get a job fixing

Instead of oil pipelines just build more water pipelines. That's what we do here in Oklahoma. SE part of the state is wet, we run water back to the west side.

Believe me, capital is the biggest issue I've run into in all my startups. You can never have too much. The groundwork your laying now will help determine whether you're successful down the road. Read The E-Myth on how to run a su

I live in the OKC area, no issues. My father and brother's houses 6+ miles apart. Were destroyed by the same tornado in 2010. Neither had any insurance issues at all (fortunately, didn't happen for everyone). Tornadoes while scary

Make the leap when you have customers for your new AR software. Financial stress while doing startups is very distracting and possibly deadly to the new company. Plus your income can help fund expected and unexpected expenditures. I've

Too bad the governments of the world seem more interested in protecting the corporations than the general population.

The fun is in the dreaming and starting. The work is in the finishing. I'm terrible at finishing personal projects. For paying projects it's much easier ($$$).

I live in the Bible Belt, so not very common here. Reminds me of "liberal" SF/Bay Area. Everyone talks the talk, but no one walks the walk. It's quite sad really.

Why would you need this company if you've got the necessary income already? Just want to spend more than necessary? Or is this a marketing post? Based on the lack of information, I'm going with marketing.

Cash is king. Get cash. Don't sign over your equity without a lawyer and or accountant reviewing to see how you're fucking yourself. I had many friends in the Bay Area get screwed on shit like this. Good luck, your'e screwed!

We don't let 18 year old kids drink. But we'll let a 17 year old join the military. It's all about priorities.

3 - Maybe if discharging in bankruptcy were a real option, and not saddling kids with this ridiculous debt for life were possible they'd be more responsible in their lending. 11% on a fucking loan you can't get rid of? Obscene.

Wow, I didn't realize putty was so new in 99. I just used it because I needed a set of good client tools on my windows box. Many thanks to them, they made my life so much easier in the early 2000s.

You can be open to things but also be skeptical. I got a degree in finance in college (in addition to MIS/Economics) because of all the scandals of my youth. I wanted to see if I could avoid those issues. Being a software engineer it&#

Fair enough, but based on the biographies and books I've read about the first decade+ of Microsoft, treating employees like shit was pretty common. Hell, there's a reason Paul Allen left and never returned (Balmer and Gates talkin

I'm a white guy in American born to two college educated parents. My life isn't representative of everyone on this planet. I won the birth lottery. I'll pick the future, since it's a futile exercise.

I love Bill Gates but I've never heard Microsoft's management to be anything other than terrible. Stack ranking which they used for god only knows how long is a joke. It makes people focus more on the game and politics than doing

I used Network Solutions when they were the only game in town. Switched to Register in the late 90s. Just stuck with them because I didn't have any issues. In the last 5-10 years the issues started growing. Finally, I hit a wall and tr
