I don’t know. I know the news is often flooded with companies reversing their remote work policies, but I’ve had no issue staying remote since 2020. Maybe my anecdotal experience is unique, but I happily moved “to the sticks” in 2022. I’ve

I think your question at the end is a good one for discussion. But let’s be honest, even “conservatives” in the U.S. aren’t fighting for small government. It’s barely given lip service, and only when they’re trying to justify gutting govern

These policies are antithetical to everything the current GOP stands for. Voting for them will not address your issues. Just about everything you’ve said is considered opinions of “the left”. So, pushing the Democratic Party more to the lef

I’m quite intrigued by the number of SWEs you’ve trained through an apprenticeship. I think there’s often this tension between those who have been trained at some university and now have a CS degree and those who have “learned on the job” o

I think it’s hard to describe any country in foreign affairs “good”. Typically, we expect nations to pursue their best interests. Still, we (the U.S.) we’re probably as close to being the “good” guys as a nation could be during WW2. I’m not

If you’re a fan of Chrome-based browsers, you could also just use Vivaldi. They have a built-in email and calendar client. There you go, email and calendar integration into your web-browsing experience. If you’re going to do it, go all the

In one sense I agree with you. I don’t usually like to claim something is self-evident, but nonetheless, I think it’s clear to most that there is a great deal of variety in skill, intelligence, and virtue across the average human population

This isn’t the first time I’ve heard of something like this. I learned some disturbing things about HOAs while living in one. Some people think I’m strange or dramatic, but I refuse to ever live in one again. I realize not everyone has that

I’d never heard this about Warren Buffet and so looked it up out of curiosity. I’m going to be honest, I hesitate to call it “smallish” for the average American (around 6500 sq ft). But I’ll admit it’s smaller and more modest than most home

Right. Because media outlets and journalists in bed with Republicans definitely don’t engage in lies and propaganda (/s). Or just maybe it has more to do with how they’re now almost entirely owned by large corporations that have their

This is my first time reading this and I loved every second. Great read - got a few snickers out of me. Thanks for sharing.

I suspect if the loss of these delivery drivers had such an impact on this hypothetical special place, they would hire their own delivery drivers to compensate. Worst case, you have to a call a number or use a mobile-friendly website instea
