I'm OK if Organic Maps isn't designed for the average ignorant user. I've been using it for over a year now and its great, don't need it ruined so a bunch of casuals can download i…

Tools are a lot cheaper if you don't listen to the hype from the snap-on guy

In USA people get tax credits for installing solar. The cost of solar has gone down, the cost to the consumer has remained the same or increased. It is sales people eating up that …

I hope I live long enough to see sales people eliminated. In solar, they contribute the least to the process yet gobble up 30% of the money. It is a total waste of taxpayer money, …

I homeschool my kids comp sci stuff, because public schools are not preparing children at all, they are just indoctrination centers for google, Microsoft or Apple. In my fight to l…

I'm one of them. I want my children to meet him so badly. This news about his health is heart breaking

I hire apprentice electricians starting at $80k/yr, journeymen are $120k+ (about 3 years after becoming apprentice). Or for $60k I can hire a guy who smokes meth with the customers…

I lose workers to foxxcon all the time. They are one of the best companies in SZ to work for, with high wages and good benefits.. I dont think many people in CN would agree with yo…

Sounds good, but it makes me uneasy when these 3 companies agree on something. As far as I'm concerned, they are all working for the govt
