    That's what I would think. But then I don't really understand what the OP was saying.

    What do you mean by "cold start"? I can't figure it out, but are you saying because your site was very new google gave it more weight for those search terms and that's why you were…

    Most people I know wouldn't take Bart if it was free. Dirty, noisy, and unsafe. I can't imagine anything can be done to make Americans take trains at scale unless atleast the unsaf…

    I told you I went to public schools and made it into cal...while talking about people spending $4k a month of 1st grade.. And you decide to talk about the quality of UC Berkeley in…

    It doesn't matter what percentile in the US it is, when a 2 bedroom apartment is $3k+ and the average small house is $6k to rent. Also. If you haven't been to a public school in Ca…

    No it doesn't. Living paycheck to paycheck means you don't have any left over each paycheck, and the worse version of it is that you don't even have emergency savings left over in …

    It's all relative. Someone making $250k with a family in the SF Bay Area could be basically living paycheck to paycheck if they just try to appear casually financially well-off. Ni…

    I am dating someone that has a child in private school. First grade costs $4k+ a month, maybe even 6k I forget. Nothing in the parking lot or talking even screams wealthy. Every pe…

    IMO this used to even be the value proposition for blue collar trade service companies. They had expertise, they had advanced tools and equipment, they had some economy of scale bu…

    I have a feeling your dislike of Trump and possibly even conservatives is clouding your judgement. Vance is well liked by basically all Trump supporters. If Joe Biden has proven an…

    Personally most Trump supporters I know can only hope for a more Trumpian successor to Trump. Basically if JD Vance continues on his path he is looking like a sure thing for the Re…

    My Chevy volt has 199k miles and it's original brake pads and rotors are definitely almost new looking, but I'd say to be conservative they are 60%. My cheap Chinese Walmart tires …

    Basically everything I buy now means my money is going to China. Somehow that's ok, but letting me choose to consume their app, that's ok.

    The message being displayed to users is very pro Trump right in the message. And I assume you mean woke* content not DEI.

    Great, maybe this will add more energy to making things browser based instead of app.

    How much money a company makes should not matter. You get paid by how hard you are to replace and how important your task is to continued revenue. You can make your company $1 bill…

    As someone who doesn't listen to the radio in FM or AM, does it really make sense to comment on your thoughts regarding how often and why it's listened to by most people? You're no…

    I'm 6'4" and decently fit, but I wouldn't go around calling other men stupid clowns. I worked in car sales for a decade and a decent 10%+ of salespeople IMO would get aggressive to…
