What do you think we are spraying when we spray for mosquitos? Of course it is to help the little flying pests turn Christians gay. Really. Have you ever seen the mosquito population actually go down? Do you really know what is in that spray? You just assumed, and now you too are gay.

Often the VC's, if they have control of the company, will bring in "gray hair" managers to try to turn things around. The kids formerly running the show may or may not stick around. The first thing the gray hairs do is cut back to a skeleton staff, cut the snacks, and even coffee. They'll try to sublet the surplus office space. One startup I worked at had a fire sale on desks and laptops and such. I got some good deals. Infosec goes out the window, as do most new features. You trim back to the barest minimum infrastructure and staff. If your books seem reasonable, then they try to sell what is left. It can be very strange being one of 5 or so essential staff left after 50 or 100 of your coworkers are gone.

I took a course in scallop farming over 20 years ago. There is no need to ravage the ocean wilds to get them.

When I lived in Idaho clothing stores were not allowed to put women's underwear on display. Women literally had to leave the state to buy underwear. (This was before Internet commerce became mainstream - back in the 90's).

I'm guessing it doesn't run on chicken nuggets and macaroni and cheese.

It seems like this bill assumes 1 driver per car and 1 car per driver. There are plenty of folks who share a car, and plenty of folks who own more than one. Also would the sensor know if you are driving on an icy road or with low visibility due to dense fog? Would it suddenly shut you car off in the middle of winter and leave you to freeze to death?

Partisan gerrymandering only works if people consistently vote for the same party regardless of the candidates. It also helps gerrymandering work easily is that we only have two parties.

Find a conference that specializes in your tech. Network like crazy, hand out cards, and give a talk if you can. You want to build a personal brand with your most interested potential customers. Be prepared to state how much you would charge and to do some back of envelope scope assessments. Follow up with the people you met after the conference is over. Organize a tech meetup in your town too.

Maybe the world's problems would be saved by now if you hadn't distracted her. Thanks a lot.

And you'll notice a direct correlation between ultra conservative religion and extreme poverty.
