This reflects my career path as well. I worked for a large company and I was impacted by Step 2. Left for a startup (step 3), startup takes off with a competing technology. Fast forward a couple of years, the large company drops technology

Exactly! I've found I'm a lot more talkative and I appear to be more of a fast thinker with this approach. I have about 15 subjects (outside of coding - sports, wine, pop culture, national parks, current music, popular fiction, tv

I put in random facts and categorize them. Topic of reading comes up, I can never remember books I’ve read. I started making Anki flash cards of book summaries. I review this and other topics for 15 minutes a day

The plumbing, electrical and code requirements are completely different for residential. Think kitchens and bathrooms every 10 to 20 feet. People need windows in all of the rooms. Most open offices couldn't be converted into residences

This! I have a cabin rental in a semi rural area. 90 miles from an expensive major metro area. 20 miles from a small city (15K). It's impossible to get anyone out there and I need to pay them their rates during their drive. I can'

I had the same problem. The games are blacked out if they are televised on any other platform. The team I follow (Cowboys) is an out of area team but they were blocked all but for 3 games. Those three games weren't even good games. It

In Virginia, suppression costs of the fire are the responsibility of the fire starter even if they take all proper precautions and there is no negligence involved. It's a good law. It protects our national forests. Stories like these m

It definitely is. I was lured in by the promise of 60K in revenue with 24K in mortgage expenses. There's so much wear and tear and so many things break. I agree that eventually it will be a race to the bottom. The good hosts and guests

That's exactly it. That's the cost to pay a good handy man, that will definitely show up on short notice. I'm paying for those 5 9s of reliability. I can't stop doing what I'm doing at work at noon to drive out and

Yeah, we also have a $2000 square foot home. That's correct. I can't stop what I'm doing at work to check on an issue with the home. $200 is the cost to get someone else to stop what they are doing and check on the home ASAP

Isn't the better analogy that, "If I take aspirin with water for a hangover it works but if I take it with whiskey it makes the hangover worse. Why doesn't aspirin work with whiskey?" I would definitely ask them why they

70K overdose deaths per year is certainly not victimless: https://www.cdc.gov/drugoverdose/data/statedeaths.html Families lose sole providers and parents have to bury their own children.

I have a similar story. My first year of college I worked two 40 hour/week jobs during the summer and a 30 hour a week job during the school year. I was determined to get a well paying internship so I could reduce my work hours and sti

Utilities don't work that way since we've made laws that say they don't work that day. That's the point of the article. A false accusation can essentially shutdown a lifetime's worth of work into a business. That&#x

I found this video to be fairly demeaning towards women. I got the sense of entitlement that he deserves to sleep with a certain number of women. He should be less set on the numbers and more focused on the women that do respond. I haven&#x
