You might feel smug, until you stumble on the FI/RE community and people that save >50% of the their income, and are financially independent by 35.

If you work at a company that uses Concur, you can usually get TripitPro for free. Check into that before paying for it yourself.

We went with an incredibly popular name for our first kid accidentally, but they didn’t have another one in there class until middle school. So that worked out by luck. I did, literally, try out the name by yelling it out the back door to “get back in the house”. So I approve of that test.

Or no so stacking ... and they cancel the order. :(

“After that you get unlimited high-speed data for free.” I think you meant “After that you still get unlimited, slower-speed data for free.”

Reminder to others that if there is room, you are allowed to bring your instrument in the cabin (and stow overhead if it fits)...  https://cms.dot.gov/airconsumer/final-rule-musical-instruments 

Interesting. I’ve never seen that Mark Twain bit before. I wonder if this was related to the Franklin system (which was phonetic), or something else.

I have a fairly common name. This happens all the time to me. Also really annoying is people who seem to not know their own email address. ie, signing up for crap with my email address.  

I’d love to mock them, but I’ve had to sit through way too many calls when the presenter should’ve muted the participants, but didn’t know how. I’ve sent emails to a number of higher ups with the mute-all code for their reference.

In a previous community we noticed another trend. They didn’t open presents during the party. I don’t know if it was intentional, but it definitely addresses both no presents and “topper” presents making other kids feel terrible. So, I would recommend if people still bring presents, open them after everyone is gone.

My CISCO desk phone has a shutter. So they aren’t first, at least. I thought it was great, and was waiting for it to show up everywhere.

Yes, and IIRC TRSDOSIII and TRSDOSIV were completely different, because he sold some of DOSIII to Microsoft so he had to rewrite it all from scratch and we ended up with IV. Wacky days back then.

For people that can’t do a single pull up, focus on negative pullups. ie, start at the top and slowly lower yourself down. Took about a month and I was able to do my first pullup. I’m up to two to four in a set now.

I remember wanting to build a light pen for my Apple IIe. I wish I’d have gotten around to that...

True, and I didn’t mean to imply that it was MS DOS, I was just contrasting it to CP/M. The history of DOS and Basic between Tandy and Microsoft is all sorts of nuts. In the same league as IBM and Microsoft OS2. (A coworker used to have a Microsoft OS/2 mug that he kept around)

TRS/80, those ran cp/m. (And also DOS)

I tried over and over again. The process never worked. If I “apply”ed the promo code, the payment section disappeared and I couldn’t purchase tickets. If I put in my payment and promo code, and clicked “complete checkout” it just errored out. Stupid

The stacks are only hand held after being ripped out of a sleeve. That definitely happens in the book. In one case, Kovacs carries around a pocketful of stacks. In this trailer they made it look like the stacks are in the spine inside the sleeve. I always remember/pictured them as a small cylinders that were near the…

Stroopwafel. I hid the can in my office so I could eat them all myself.
