Reply to How can they do 14th Amendment after the indictment to stop Trump running for 2024? by ShiptShopper23
I think they'd have a tough time based on an indictment alone, and there's still controversy over whether the relevant section of the amendment even applies to a president.

INFO: are weather conditions severe? Are the cars around me also going 5-10 below? Are there emergency vehicles I have to make way for? Am I in a car with a broken speedometer and there's a cop nearby?
If not, I have no idea.

Hustle for yard work. Kids as young as 5 can help harvest citrus fruit. Kids as young as 9 or 10 can be in charge of selling the service, making appointments and handling the money.

Reply to What is up with the neck beards? Like, no mustache ,clean lined half beards. Is it a point of pride or something? by Stanwich79
For some people (image search George Lucas) the line between chin and neck is elusive. An expert shave can suggest "if I had a jaw line, here is where it would be, roughly speaking."

I figure robotics. All of these AIs are going to need bodies to carry out their plans (which I'm sure are nothing to worry about).

Reply to What movie adaptation goes against the grain of “the book was better”? by Normal-Schedule6103
It may be sacrilege to say it, but I think Lord of the Rings worked better as a movie. It made them cut out all of the long rambly bits that don't move the plot, especially most songs.

It doesn't. It's all a sham dreamed up by the round-earthers. Australians are all just living on ranches in the southwestern US and northern Mexico.

I can't give it the full BIFL seal of approval, because it's only a few years old, but I have a Senville mini-split in the wall of the building I'm sitting in now. I got the Smart WiFi Kit for it and it has an app where I can manage schedules like you describe. It seems fine 3 years in.

I just sponge it off & let it dry. It's outerwear, so I'm always wearing other clothes under it. It doesn't tend to get dirty.

A Barbour waxed canvas coat will last forever. They require some care unlike anything else I own, y'know, 'cause it's the only garment I own that needs wax reapplied periodically, but it ages like a fine antique and is built to last.

Try fighting the alien I guess. If it doesn't work, I'll use my god like powers to make a new planet after the alien leaves.

I'm against it. Even people who can articulate the goals of it (rare) can't show any evidence that it achieves any of them. It's expensive and morally questionable at best.

Reply to Which is wiser: put money to child's account so that they can access it when they are 21+, or save the money the parents' own account and give it to them when they need it? by [deleted]
Probably parent's account. 21 year olds aren't well-known for their wisdom. Besides, even if I don't make my kid directly wealthy, I can solidify my own future so I never become a burden on them. Then I can use any extra to help where I can.

Reply to what if we stop using cents and all prices would be whole like 6 or 7$ instead of 6.80 or 6,99 and so on? by DanVasi
I'm fine doing rounding for the final total. Cheese can still be 6.99 and lunch meat can be 7.49, then when we add it all up, maybe $1 is close enough for a cash transaction. Or maybe we want to still use quarters. Electronic payments can stay ±1¢ because there's no additional cost or inconvenience.
The point is: pennies are stupid. In 1900, they made sense, but that's because in modern terms, you could buy as much for 3¢ as you can for a dollar today.

"Follow your dreams" is too simple, and it can lead to some pretty bad and unfulfilling outcomes. The problem is "Define your dream, then carefully articulate what you're willing to give up to get it and for how long, then follow your dream, but note what developments should cause you to immediately stop" can't be stitched on a pillow as easily.

OK, keep the "hustle," but skip the yard work. If cashflow is your goal, focus on any special marketable education or skills you have. Graphic design? Programming?
If you don't have any particular educational or professional background, I'd recommend sales. If you're good at that, you can always make money. Car lots are almost always hiring sales people. The sales world is pretty aggressive and very much "I don't care what you did last month, how have you made me money lately?" But if you can handle it and be as aggressive as they are, there's a lot of up-side.
