That doesn’t change anything useful. There are many not for profit health insurance companies in the us - they are no cheaper and don’t have better service than the for profit ones.

Many email providers blacklist large parts of the internet for spam protection. When I switched from hosting my own email (doing SPF, or whatever existed back then) to paying fastmail to host my email a lot more email started going through. fastmail is large enough and has a good enough reputation that nobody can afford to block emails from them. I still have my own personal domain most people who email me have no clue that I’m not hosting it. I’d advise the same thing, pay fastmail to host your email, it doesn’t cost much and everything works.

There are companies other than fastmail that does this as well. Some of them are just as good, pick whichever you want.

For many people owning their own housing is the wrong decision. That means somebody else needs to own their housing and that person may as well be you (depending of course on your situation - it isn’t for everyone)

If you say that “look at how much money I’m making, tax me harder daddy” it’s another.

That is a bad thing for affordable housing. For affordable housing you need profits from investment property just enough to be worth doing. Any taxes a property owner pays needs to come from the rent they charge so high taxes mean they are charging more rent to cover it. So if taxes are high that means that rents are higher than they could be. You should get rich - to the extent you do - in property ownership by owning a lot of property for a long time, not charging high rents.

Parts fail all the time. The problem with hardware raid is you need a compatible controller or none of the data can be read even though it is still on the physical disks. Computer hardware is often only made for a few months before there is a new model and so you are risking that the manufacture really made the new model work with what you have. That is assuming the manufacture doesn’t go out of business which could happen without warning. \

Also, if hardware breaks that is often a good excuse to replace it - odds are better hardware is available for the same price and sometimes a lot less $ - with hardware raid you are stuck paying whatever price they charge.

Either works fine for most homes. for most homes everything on the nas makes sense as that saves energy vs a second always on box. For enterprises you want them separate because you can’t get cpu’s powerful enough.

Generally tha airport is the worst place, but it is easy and probably not too bad. Banks vary from good to bad as far as how good thay are-

physical cash is generally a bad idea. offshore your investments to a different country: buy stocks, bonds, and real estate elsewhere. Though beware of taxes that can be bad. Swiss banks used to be the place for this as they wouldn’t tell your country what you had and thus your country cannot punish you for it.

Store brands are mostly about distance from the warehouse.

culture and language changes but there isn’t normally a clear line of where one starts - it is a continum. (the minnesota accent is only spoken by a minority in mn)

they used to search all cars entering minnesota from wisconson for fireworks until the courts ruled that was illegal without a warant for the specific cars to search. This was around 30 years ago. California has done searchs for ‘bugs’ before but don’t know if the still do.

in every case I’ve seen you don’t see any difference but locals know and will bicker over trivial things like sport teams or best state bird.

I don’t understand why people care. My dad is gone. I can’t get help fixing my roof from his urn. Some people do talk to the remains of their loved ones, but they can’t hold a conversation so I have never seen the point.

The good ones are better because I can scan faster than your trained clerks. (I never had a job scanning so I’m not trained, and my wife does most of our shopping so I’m out of practice - despite that I’m still faster than most clerks)

Don’t cheap out on a tablet. The cheap ones not only have bad specs but they also generally start withian obsolete android vertion and then never get updates. I’m not sure how expensive you need to go, but not as cheap as I tried.

They need people to win big - if someone really does win big that fuels the dream for everyone else who won’t even get on the show but still dreams how their life would be better if they won big. They need most people to win something that looks big, but isn’t “too much”. The only people they want to lose are people that every viewer hates - and those people won’t be selected to go on anyway. They don’t want too many big winners as then winning big goes from a hype worthy event to another person got some money, but those big winners fuel the dream and keep the show alive so long as it doesn’t happen so often it becomes a yawn.

Creating a game show is about the circular optimization: more viewers = more money from advertisers. Money can be paid in prizes or go to your pocket.

They will only do this in context of a company. Get a lawyer to setup a llc. They do sometimes give money this way - see angel investors, but you need a company for legal reasons.

That was Einstein’s probosal to fdr in 1938. nobody was interested. When the English checked the numbers they realized it was airplane size and encouraged the us to build on. Airplane bomb bays are small, a row boat could haul little boy around ( though it is likely to capsize if the seas are not perfect calm)

John deere has some nice tours. The best tours cost half a million or more - but they let you take one home. (If you know a farmer who buys new tractors ask - many farmers have seen it and so won’t use their tour , so you can get their ticket). Then there is the free tours that anyone can take - but these are limited numbers and tour bus companies reserve all the spots when they open up knowing they can then sell the whole tour (if you don’t live near the factory this is the way to go since the factories are generally a boring drive away and the tour drivers know how to spice it up and where to eat). As an employee I’ve only got the engineers tour - that is when everyone staring at you knows it is your fault they are getting paid to do nothing - I do not recommend these even though they were paying me.

Truenas core because I’m a bsd guy at heart. with that all but dead I’m trying to decide between bare freebsd or xigmanas.

I have a arch linux box for things that don’t run on bsd.

Why talk about it when you could bee practicing or playing. most discussions feel like people who don’t like it enough to practice and so theyeare not good and in turn are ‘blind leading blind’

i play mandolin, at an okay. I dabble in many other things.

If you can show the searcher should understand the orginization of your filesystem then you can argue other places are not to be searched.

only way I can see that applying is if the warrent is about sharing files - files in a non-shared location are not part of the search. I doubt this will ever happen in the real world.

one nas device with a lot of power and a vpn for the other houses might be better.
