A therapist. No joke. In my case it _seems to be_ a coping mechanism for anxiety. I'm so afraid that I force myself to be successful. It goes under the radar because it's seen as h…

The developer pays for that access. The developer is a third party. They're buying transaction data. It's explicitly stated within their sales page and directly contradictory to th…

We didn't have Fortnite but we had many other venues for entertainment on computers: MUDs, Ultima, DOOM, Duke Nukem 3D, Wolfenstein, Wing Commander, etc. etc. The list goes on. My …

warning Reddit style comment ahead Woah. This thread just hit me in a - ridiculously - profound way. The day the Internet died.

Also, Sandvik, Copco or Volvo don't produce a TBM.

I think you've missed this one - the typical long-haul truck driver drives somewhere far enough away that they can't return home and must stay overnight (sometimes sleeping in thei…

They do if they're paid spiffs on them.

We are not great at mining. Fun fact: the manufacturing industry has been able to obtain machine utilization at nearly 100%. Mining is in the 40% range.

Can you define what you mean by not spending a lot of resources on Mining? A significant part of the world’s GDP is in mining and mining and its subsidiary industries (manufacturin…

That's not just the tech industry. I've never worked in a place that it doesn't happen. I've uncomfortably watched it in the past but took a hard line when a female coworker's firs…

Canada's rural roads (read: most of Canada's roads) are already mostly two-lane.

Higher status fliers are allowed to take guests with them into priority boarding. I do this frequently with friends and colleagues who don't fly much.

This is just a guess but I fly a _lot_ (~40 flights so far this year). My guess is that the software probably did its job, the gate agents are often just automotons and don't reall…

Wait. What? A star more massive than a black hole? I must be missing something here. Once something reaches the mass of a black hole, it becomes a black hole. No? How is it possibl…

Come to Winnipeg. ;)

A friend of mine has been doing this for many years. I have bought a lot from him, and he's not cheap. I know he could make a lot more if he worked on his marketing a little bit, b…

Agreed. I don't think the problem in winter driving is the speed. It's anticipating what the hazards are and how to avoid them. You - and the other drivers on the road - have less …

I'm curious why you would have that impression and why you think investing is the way to achieve those things.

1) the city isn't built for biking. It's long distances between where people work and their homes. Not many live downtown like other large cities. 2) you can only do it for six mon…

Don't know where the parent is from but I live in a largish Canadian city. Using a bike for primary travel is not viable except for short leisure/weekend errands. I even live in th…

Relax more. Yoga did it for me.

$1000/year is a very low amount to consider regular use, I would think. As others have stated making money off of the merchants is part of their business model. At $1k/year I would…

I've seen this happen in a couple of industries and have joined two companies at the start of the reorg/turnaround. There is a lot to do as until the pressure is on a lot gets igno…

I wouldn't put my whole portfolio in it but I'm not really worried about being too tied to the industry I work in. That might also be because it's mining . Mining is a large portio…

To answer your first question: be a part of it, either as a consumer or a producer. My professional life now revolves around mining. I'm confident to know who to invest in and who …
