Hi, websitetasker

Steve,

I met you at a Boulder meetup and it was fun. Surprised you're now along a coastal city but good for you. Similar story here. Please keep in touch as I am active on here again.

We need a new sticker, fam.

Best of luck!

Yep. I threw a few hundred at it, and now I'm sitting on 5k worth of encrypted money. Arg.

I mean, it wasn't a brag but I did grow up lower-middle class. It's good to have a frame of reference.

I'm lucky to the extent that my student loan debt does not exceed my gross annual salary. I'm unlucky in the sense that the daily interest rate equates to buying a pack of cigarettes every day.

I love this, two years later.

The man probably gets audited every year. I think the whole tax returns thing is a red herring. Clinton's speeches, however, are a little bit more worrying.

He's being audited, and that won't happen until perhaps next year. Am I wrong?

Yeah, where can we donate again? I've got to get down on that.

I used to think the same way until I saw the King of Limbs From The Basement

IT'S HAPPENING. Dropbox is just a ui layer over AWS anyways.

Horrid, frothing bubble

(p.s. they can itemize it as a business expense)

Raspy voice. Socialistic tendencies. Hoovervilles. I can't relate, honestly. I'm on the upper end of the economic scale. Can anyone tell me why the apparentness of the wealth divide in the US leads to dignity?

That graph has got me chills.

I bet he had some great things to say about the Scots and Irish /s

I'm giddy and have been eagerly watching for updates on this since the story broke.

Personally, I loved this aspect of their naive chatbot: it was effectively able to blend an awful simulacrum of millennials and shitposting twitter people.

Unfortunately time spent 'reading' now includes time spent in front of a screen.

I wonder how they really deduced that.

beezneez  ·  3251 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What are your favourite crockpot recipes?

I can vouch for it. Anything under 5 hours won't curdle dairy in a crockpot, but it's enough to cook the noodles.

Corporate America Sucks!

Learn your own first. If you don't know what a particle is (in terms of linguistics), you will have a hard time with Japanese.

Sino-oriental languages are really easy to learn if you think about it in 'chunks'. Speaking is the easiest part.

Be more interested in social ladders than pronunciation. Don't call out native speakers for grammatical errors.

My nose crinkles at the thought.

Good on you. There is a good group here.

I wonder if I can feel comfortable calling people again.
