CC "debt" that's paid off in full every month is debt in the same sense that eating at a typical restaurant puts you in debt.

Don't get me wrong, unmanageable CC debt is a real thing, but that's not what we're talking about.

A six/seven figure donation for these companies is...nothing. While I'm all for grabbing my face eating leopard popcorn, I'm not sure I'd say this falls under that category. This amount of money doesn't feel like trying to buy favors


more like "please don't specifically target us with your wrath of incompetence."

This title makes it sound like he wouldn't be a good Klingon, either. Which...is definitely true.

I bet he thinks he'd make a good Ferengi. But that's insulting to the Ferengis...

It's one of the reasons I hate having one person cook and the other clean


the incentives are misaligned, and it just breeds bad habits and reckless cooking IMHO. If you do both cooking and cleaning, you'll hopefully learn to clean as you go.

Sounds like you've only ever used desktops and/or laptops...

Firetrucks too, so I've been told.

For all the problems in the tech industry, having a large chunk of your compensation be in the form of RSUs does address this meme's complaint. Company does well = you get paid more.

Here's January of this year. San Francisco, so pretty moderate weather


typically don't run heat during the day, and low 60s at night (if at all) during the winter. Large temperature gradient throughout house, typically.

South facing windows gives kitchen and living room a greenhouse effect, particularly in the winter, hence the large daily temperature swings:

We're expecting a baby. Do people travel with a baby? Is it safe? Is it insane? I think we're just gonna have to stay put for 3 years or so.

If your baby isn't super fussy, the transportation difficulty (in our experience) is more in the logistics getting to/from airport, and dealing with other ground transportation. We just flew 5+hrs (coast to coast, US) with a 2mo and a ~3yo, and it was a piece of cake (typing that, I've jinxed the return flight...).

We haven't done international travel with our kids yet, but we will eventually. When I was 2 my family went to Europe


some countries were meh with respect to kids, but Italy (from my folks' retelling) was fantastic, as there is (or was) a big cultural love for young kids.

YMMV of course, but it's absolutely doable! Kids


even starting as babies


have personalities, and you'll get a sense of what's appropriate with yours. Good luck!

Good point


it is "incrementally free," although I guess if you count tire wear and tear that's not even true.
