San Jose and Oakland approved them too, towards the end of the year. I believe, but I'm not 100% sure, but I think there's one in san francisco as well.

Hey everybody. So, update on the Manchester camping project, if anyone's interested. Everything's going swimmingly. I've been staying warm mainly with propane, I got a big dyna-glow 1500-btu, which is about half of what the built in heater would be doing if it worked. I got that one because...

Interesting. I haven't been very far west yet. That's good to know. How are the Cox hotspots on reliability?

That's cool, I met a guy in berkley once, that was suing some guy who shared his freeware book online for a hundred billion dollars. He was also being chased by cia, who cloned him, and stole his marriage.

True enough. Luxottica is not messing around.

Verizon just made me fork out $240 for the same phone I had on T-mobile. Seriously, it's exactly the same phone. The only difference is that the new one has usb-c and the original just had the mini usb. But, it did come with a plan, and it got me out of the store with something on a decent data...

Not saying that, but there aren't many pedestrians in MO. At least not in the cities. People know better than to venture out into the crosswalks, muttering gibberish or otherwise. With the drivers out there, it's probably for the best.

Something funny happened on the way to the office. I'm just walking out of the parking garage in the brutal cold, braving the four block endurance test I go through every morning. There was nothing strange or unusual about it. Then, I got to the corner by the bridge, and there was this guy...

So when I pulled into town, I found myself in a comcast area. Trolled the list of open hotspots near me, and found an open xfinity hotspot. It's a pay to play, but they only wanted $54 for the month, and it's a very fast little connection. Mostly reliable. Goes out occasionally, but it's not...

DC's pretty expensive, but the public transportation options are some of the best in the country. They've got subways and busses. You can get anywhere in the city in a few minutes. It's also no that bad if you park over the border and commute in. You'll save a ton of money if you can find a...

See that? I knew I would learn something on this board. I don't know if I would want to go nude this time of year though. Only so much weather the boys can take.

Be careful about that. Higher rates don't necessarily mean making more money.  The big 3, the holy trinity of contacting companies, and a lot of the smaller ones are try to attract technical people from the midwest who don't understand what the rates look like in the bigger cities. So, they get...

On the work side of things: Kansas City used to be an exceptional place to find work. I haven't been there in a while, but it might still be. Don't know. The boston corridor is pretty reliable, but a lot more expensive than the midwest. Nashville and Bentonville Arkansas are surprisingly...

I do sort of the same thing. I'm an IT contractor as well. I tried doing the stealth camping thing when I first got my trailer in st louis, but realized quickly that it's a potentially dangerous (ie: you can get towed) way to go about doing it. What I do instead is look to craigslist and...

I'm seeing that. This place also had taller tanks that might be worth investing in. The fewer propane runs I need to do in the dead of winter, the happier I'll be.

I've been in similar situations. My issue that I usually work as a corporation, and technically, I don't have paystubs, because it's silly to hire a payroll company when I'm the only employee. I can show paid invoices and whatnot, but that's not really the same. Last time I had to do it, I...

I a road-savvy contractor. I write software for a living. Being a contractor is sort of like being a temp, but it's a different class of project. When the job is done, I press a button to update my resume on indeed. Recruiters call me, I do a phone screen, and then a technical interview. Then...

As someone who's done a lot of e-commerce over the years, I have sort of a love/hate relationship with Dropshipping. It can work well if you've got a website with content that draws organic traffic. It ^might^ work on ebay or amazon. But the issue I have with the practice is how the quality of...

Well, you need a cell phone for emergencies at the very least. When you're in a tight spot, and you need to call for help. I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I absolutely need a phone, and I need a phone with hotspot and large data plan capabilities. Nearly every job I've had in the last...

Just figured out that you can actually go to local hardware stores and get tanks refilled, rather than going to Wamart or home depot, or whichever to do a propane exchange. I've got three propane tanks right now. Two for cooking, and one for heat. Was actually pretty proud of myself for figuring...
