Been to Bosnia once or twice. Still hitting plum brandy. They just added beer into the mix.

This sounds dystopian. I went through a distance learning course and I don't see this being far from it. I mean, it's not like anyone will have to come to the brick and mortar clas…

Why does Reddit need sales? Genuine question. My guess is to sell ads?

> with broadly-attended meetups How often do you feel is enough?

Oh I've got a buddy that'll laugh his pants off when he reads this. I know I am.

Last several replies you gave are such high quality. I hate it when people overintellectualize such obvious things like having a kid. I would have flipped out at the other poster, …
