I understand that you’re announcing good news, but I’m still angry. I think it’s the picture you posted with the article, it just instills anger in all who view it.

This philosophy worked for me. At 18 I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. Sure, Britney Spears had gone platinum by that age, but that comes with direction early on, dedication, and a ton of luck. Instead of worrying about success early, I took random community college classes for 6 years, working full time…
My god, you just listed all the things I hated about my 20's. I hated the hookup culture because I got attached. I hated having to live with people when I was poor. I didn’t have the kids excuse to stop talking to people.
I was born a crotchety old man.
I would suggest receiving all emails in a POP client so you know you’ll always have them, even in the apocalypse. An account hack or lost password won’t lose everything.
AOL. It has always been there, it will always be there.
My one overriding theme in life is efficiency. I had a similar epiphany: Often the most efficient thing is to do whatever feels right. For example, the stress of planning every minute of a vacation renders the entire vacation pointless, I get much more out of a vacation winging it and maybe missing an attraction or…
No mention of swamp coolers? I live in CO, with pretty low humidity. My evaporative cooler drops the temperature and raises the humidity to more pleasant levels for pennies a day. Despite the benefits of evaporative cooling in dry climates, a large chunk of houses and most businesses around here pay a lot of money to…
The 1906 earthquake and fire in San Francisco killed hundreds or thousands. I don’t know how many deaths were attributed to earthquake and how many to fire though.
You can’t just wake up earlier or later, you want to throw all our time zones out of whack with the sun and UTC?
A couple tricky sodas: Barq’s in the Coke Freestyle machines is labelled as caffeine-free. They also claim it’s caffeine free in Utah. At this point I don’t trust that someone hooks up the right syrup container to risk it. Also, Sunkist Orange Soda contains caffeine, which is totally unexpected.
White chocolate is a wildcard. From wikipedia: “In the United States, since 2004, white chocolate must be (by weight) at least 20% cocoa butter, 14% total milk solids, and 3.5% milk fat, and no more than 55% sugar or other sweeteners.”
This rule isn’t 100% followed. Often times items are labelled as “white…
Maybe they should use an incinerator instead of a trash can. You know, burn it... in an enclosed building...
Investor: “So, what’s your business model?”
Dress worse than the homeless. I didn’t get mugged once. Also, the art museum is delightful.
You may be 5 steps past this, but have you tried Cefaly? It’s a prescription device that treats migraines and trigeminal neuralgia with electrical stimulation. My drugs are starting to fail me so that’s what I plan on trying next.
Another important question: Can this be cured rather than just throwing pain killers at it? I had a friend that went to the ER with debilitating pain from a pinched nerve. The ER doctor said that lots of people have lower back pain and she’d just have to take narcotics the rest of her life. It’s normal. 3 days later…
I had my wisdom teeth removed and ended up with 4 dry sockets. Other than local anesthetics, Ibuprofen for dry sockets was the most effective pain reliever I’ve taken for anything. Opioids for migraines? Didn’t even make a dent.
I agree with most of what you say. Second-hand smoke causing cancer... is based entirely on tobbacco. Technically dense water vapor is considered smoke. There’s a lot of speculation out there about marijuana actually treating/curing certain cancers, so that may be a thing if the research pans out.
Meanwhile, pot is responsible for 5 deaths worldwide (made up internet statistic). Don’t get me wrong, I don’t agree with the use of either, but I voted to legalize pot in my state as a safer alternative to alcohol.
