yeah, get your own "helper" for like $600 USD a month who works 24/6.

and if you don't like them and fire them they have two weeks to find a job or they get deported.

I had a friend a couple years after the first bubble who did that Sac -> SF commute (in a car pool at least).

iirc he left the house at 4:30 am and got home after 10pm.

machack was the poo poo. And their website is still up? http://www.machack.com

one of the last talks in 2003 was "Windows development using CodeWarrior on the Mac"

they touch on it in the article, but CA's "residency" requirements are, for exactly the above reason, absurdly broad.

a couple of years after I left the states, I got a letter at my addr in HK from the state of CA saying basically hey fucker you owe us taxes and penalties.

I've never lived within 1500 miles of CA let alone been a resident, so I was real confused. so I get up in the middle of the night to call CA and stay on hold for 2 hours and finally talk to a very nice lady who helped me figure out the situation

the year I left, my job changed my w-2 addr from The Midwest to their headquarters addr in... CA. And I obvs didn't notice when I filed my taxes.

so I faxed (literally faxed, no other options b/c government) a bunch of paperwork and they agreed that I did not, in fact, ever live in CA.

sometime over CNY they have changed it from a normal ding dong to the beginning of the William Tell Overture and I might go literally insane if they don't change it back.

However, we may be eating lots of jellyfish! aren't you stoked??

Also this book is very good so far on a realistic take and how poo poo is hosed, would recommend for the yospos reading list: https://www.amazon.com/Uninhabitable-Earth-Life-After-Warming/dp/0525576703

There was just a recent interview that came out yesterday with the author on the ezra klein podcast that i'd recommend if you want a primer first: https://megaphone.link/VMP4275319764

I go back to the same dive sites a year later and it's crazy to see how much has changed in just one year.

I have the same problem. the actual needling does not bother me at all. Take blood or stab me w/ whatever I don't care. But having gotten allergy shots weekly for 5 years the nurse always made me lay down afterwards for 10 minutes, otherwise my body was like "oh poo poo time to faint for no reason"

a couple months ago I was out to dinner in the Philippines with a doc I just met, from Nepal, who asked “hey so do you know (tiny school I went to)?” and it blew my fuckin mind.

i used to live close (maybe 20 mins walk) to a Big State School football stadium, and one year they had a B2 bomber flyover, cuz there was a B2 base close by.

it was hands down the loudest loving thing I've ever heard in my life. the cats were outside on the screened-in porch and they came tearing rear end back into the house as fast as they could
