I am a millennial and my parents did no events, since they both worked and had long commutes. I wonder when the middle class entertainment slowed down—I want to guess it’s when you have more two income households, that don’t earn enough to

In my city, an older guy organized an “urban hiking group” where he would plan walking routes through the city, usually stopping at a restaurant for brunch. It was very popular, but probably a lot of work. He was semi-retired, so he had the

Many accountants are worried about the risk of filing for their clients and won’t do it at all. Determination of ownership is not as straightforward as one might assume in many cases.

Or alternatively, to add to the list, working parents cannot afford to live near grandparents. They bought in the 1980s.

I’m an accountant, not developer, but in my case I found freelancing much preferable to working on a team. I don’t think I’m “bad” at working on a team, in that my team members would be happy to have me on the team, but I personally found i

I’ve been using blot.im It’s not free, but it’s cheap and the workflow really works for me. You keep the files in markdown in a Dropbox folder, and the blot service uses the files to update your blog. This makes it easy to use my preferred

I’m not a “kid” person, basically never held a baby before we had our first this August. As the child bearing person in this equation, I also did the most research on pregnancy, birth, subsequent baby stuff. (My partner did do some reading

Before Instagram, we had magazines to help teens compare themselves to an unrealistic ideal. I had an English teacher in high school who had an entire wall plastered with problematic themes in magazine ads, so it would highlight the subtle

I like it, but it doesn’t feel liberating. It feels like you need to be very careful, because if you express yourself in a way that could be taken the wrong way, it will be! But I like getting the insight into how many different people th

I have a - in my name, and while I’m used to websites not accepting this, it’s always interesting which ones give a neutral error like “only letters and numbers allowed” vs an insulting error of “please enter a valid name” when I try to see

Become a contractor doing this stuff for clients. I do bookkeeping currently, which is super easy for me, but in trying to train clients who want to do it themselves, and in general just working with all kinds of business owners, I see so m

I thought your point was clear. As someone who is more of a “learner” than a teacher currently, I appreciate the thought of letting me, the learner, explain my current mental model and then a teacher helping troubleshoot that. Listening to

Interesting question. I’ve taken free coursera programming courses, and now I’m taking university CS courses. On one hand, the material we are expected to learn is definitely more rigorous. But the actual teaching quality is not better. The

Maybe. Every time Intuit integrates another app into their main QBO product, it makes things worse. To some extent, when they are separate apps that connect to QBO, I get more control over what data transfers. When it’s integrated, they ten

I decided to start a CS undergrad degree 15 years after finishing my first undergrad degree. The university had a math placement test. I didn’t remember almost at math, but spent about 3 weeks going through the placement test review materia

I appreciated reading about how both of them reacted to the realities of early retirement. I like to think I could be like the author, and be happy without much, but it did make me think if I might be more like his SO, especially when I see

I pay over $6,000 a semester to attend a reasonably-priced state university. While the professors may be overworked and underpaid, from a student perspective, for the money I give the institution, the institution can invest a little in syst

This semester all my exams are open note, no proctoring. I think it is harder for professors to write a good exam this way (they need to make the questions things that test understanding instead of just recall.) I’m certainly doing way bett

I have a Wacom which I believe is similar usage to Huion mentioned by OP. I have made videos by simply opening up gimp, setting up appropriate screen and background, and then using Camtasia to screen record my writing. Biggest issue for me

This sounds lovely. As a student, I currently associate code with trying to get a problem solved in time constraints... And when I work on personal projects I'm always frustrated by lack of progress in the time I have to spend on it. I

I tried to learn to self code for a few years, but kept hitting wall of what to learn next. After realizing I really wanted a chance to change careers, I decided to just do a second bachelor’s, basically to have a curriculum. So far, I’ve l

I’m doing a CS degree now, mostly lower level classes now. I find that teaching well does make a difference. Interestingly, when my professors use slides provided to them by the textbook company, I generally find it much harder to be engage

I love school and work from home, but school from home doesn’t work as well for a couple reasons: - the professors are completely unprepared to do it effectively. I’m surprised they are struggling as much as they are. Many don’t seem to be

The freshman class at the university I’m currently attending is the largest one they have ever had. Now, we are a more “affordable “ state university, but it’s still $6k tuition for a semester, plus many people seem to have gotten duped int
