Right? Ha. My dad won't exercise, he says you see old guys working out and then they die of a heart attack. He would rather just relax. My grandfather had full denchers (age 94). Watching him brush his teeth in the sink and leaving them in a cup on the counter to soak/clean didn't seem half bad.

I was getting 1-5 three second voicemails a day. Robots being detected and sent to voicemail, then detecting and hanging up on my voicemail. I added 30 seconds of music to the end of my "please text or email me" message the voicemails have all stopped.

Honestly, if you are wondering "why I'm spending time with these people", you should find a different group of people.

People you are excited to share with, see and spend time with.

Good groups of people are hard to find, but make a big difference.

I don't think he was asking for advice. Ha. To your points, being honest is important, being sensitive and not rubbing something hurtful in is also important. Some times you can share your excitement, sometimes you need to share your feelings without your excitement.

I've been married for 14 years.

If you are talking about fast food, I would opt for self checkout so that I can place my order in 10 seconds instead of waiting 2 min for a cachier to fumble with the machine. (or miss understand me, or punch it in wrong, or whatever) Grant it, not all cachiers are terrible but consistency in fast food sells, and machines are consistent.

That's what we did with our TI86 calculators in the 90s. Fake memory Clear was the name of one app. Teacher looks and sees what looks like a formatted calculator, clears the calculator if they want, then you exit the app and access your notes, games, and apps.

I am an advocate of having your own domain and having control. But most people don't care as much as the hacker news crowd does. "Phone broke, here is my new number..." really? For business it's critical to maintain any form of communication you have ever offered. But for personal, a lot of people don't care if they change their [email] and inconvenience their friends and family.

The internet is not crucial to everyones daily life. And honestly, it probably shouldn't be as crucial to ours.

Fair response. I guess it is probably both. Some businesses block, some just do not need the help at the going rate. And some just don't know they need it...

California is a big state. Los Angeles is in a desert portion of the state. I have not researched where alfalfa is primarily grown but that is important information. You can see alfalfa test plots on this map are not in desert portions of the state. You can also see how much of the state is not a desert. http://alfalfa.ucdavis.edu/-images/variety_map.gif

Buying in bulk is different than buying just enough to drink. A bottle of water for $5 at a movie for example.

Maybe the price of water in LA primarily covers infrastructure, not water. Their water does come from hundreds of miles away.
