The restaurant business is awful to begin with. Don't even think about it if you don't own the property. You do not want to be in this business trust me (family owned a few restaurants). It requires the longest fucking hours you can imagine, employees that could give a shit no matter how much you pay them, unstable food costs and add to that an expiring product, insane red tape (licensing), etc.

Incredibly lucky that we were able to sell both remaining businesses in NOV-DEC/19. Dodged a bullet, buyer has since closed down and gone out of business. I predict that 90% all the restaurants (privately owned) in Toronto will be out of business in the next year. Corporate owned have incredibly deep pockets and will survive. Complete slaughter.

Listen man, no one died from resting too much. Being bored is ok, it's good for you. Let's you dream of crazy things, putz around, look out the window more, etc.

Here is some good advice.....

It's good to rest after a day of doing nothing

Rest during the day, so you can sleep at night.

Work earns illness, do not pass away young.

If you have the urge to work, sit down, wait and you'll see it will pass.

If you see someone resting, help them out.

Love thy bed as you love thyself

When you see people eat and drink- approach them, when you see them work - withdraw yourself not to trouble them.

I can understand someone who needs a work truck but most of these trucks will be Vanity purchases, used to drive to Walmart or Chickfilet. Ford needs to mark it up across the board and any lost sales will be offset by large profit margins. Anyone buying a vehicle like this should be able to eat an additional 30-60k in markups.

Good Grief, that's like 7 billion people around the world.

What's amusing is she talks about Enoughism or choosing to be financially poor (through choice or happenstance) but I wonder if she realizes how pleasant she is to watch/listen to and that her lifestyle is super interesting and unique. I feel she could have a great youtube channel and a successful revenue stream. The flipside I guess is she wouldn't need to live in a shed after that...

Never mind the tablet did you see his coat....

The FBI, CIA, NSA and every other alphabet agency down to the state, municiple level already have access to your face, address, d.o.b, phone info, income, bills, investments, physical and online activity.

Having the clearview info will help them build a better picture of who you hang with (all those photo's on FB, Snapchat, Insta, tiktok, etc) and the circles you keep. When they crunch all that data they'll be able to build a complete picture and remove any minutia of privacy you still might have had.

Here's an idea for you folks who are chasing the next big thing, develop something that will erase a person from the matrix.

And in other news... GS analyst makes millions trading his dads retirement account after getting job at GS.

These wankers had millions and millions to pivot to something they were already familiar with, doing or connected to. Started the business with just 4k in his parents living room, yeah sure he did. This wanker had plenty of help or insider connections. Notice how one guy is standing in a warehouse that would cost 200-300k + a month to lease and the other guy is standing in the yard area of a port smiling, his dad is probably in charge of the port.

Go try to buy a shipping container and tell me how it goes.

I read something recently that stated, if you take all the energy that is required to build a wind turbine and set it up. The cost includes the mining of ores, the manufacturing process, the transportation, setup and the maintenance costs. It can spin until it disintegrates and will never be net positive energy.

I don't know if it's true, it could be full of shit, wish I could find it again.

The Russians love their Tyrants, 800 + years of history is proof. Stalin is a hero and is placed on the same level as a Saint in Russia. I've got a theory that even though he killed millions of Russians, they gave him a pass because he killed even more Ukrainians.

To this day in Russia they celebrate him, could you imagine the Germans walking down the street holding parades for Hitler? It's disgusting and jailing this historian and making up charges against him is just more evidence how insane it is.

I'm curious whether a Covid PCR test could be used to sequence your DNA. Is there enough of a specimen in the process.

What about the 7-14 million Ukrainians Russia starved to death, do they count? Sure it happened a while ago but it happened and it was Russian aggressiveness that still reverberates today. Your attitude dismisses you from any and all future discussions on this matter. You have demonstrated that your are unfit to comment.

>It fills her with dread when symptoms align with a possible ALS diagnosis. If she doesn't have a conclusion diagnosis she will sometimes not even suggest that something might be ALS because of the suicide risk.

This is a huge problem. Someone close to our family spent a lot of money to get a diagnosis because none of the doctors wanted to "go there". They ended up having to visit the MAYO Clinic for 2 weeks and spent a small fortune to find out, it hurt the family financially.

I'm in DFW

I was at Costco this morning (DFW) buying a big hunk of Prime Rib for Christmas Day dinner. No one either knows or cares anymore. I'm still wearing a mask for facial recognition purposes but I'm starting to feel weird considering no one else is wearing a mask anymore, not even the folks who look like they got one foot in the grave already.

Omicron is already so yesterday it isn't even a memory.

No one wants to hear the truth, especially all the folks who benefit from a corrupt system.

The Teachers Union runs the province. They do whatever they want.

Are the recovery options not available to you? Have you tried contacting them via email?

Holy Fuck people it's a shit posting on reddit. Do you think this story is real?

Good Lord, I thought HN was smart enough to see through the reddit garbage.

I would like to add the following to this manual.

I suppose that's why the entire world is trying to get here, they want to experience the awfulness. I came 20+ years ago and although Canada is a nice place to visit, fuck ever trying to live there again.

Canadian Expat.

Yeah and what makes you think NATO in Europe is any different? They still under spend. I'm not a supporter of Russian aggression but the reality is Europe is a joke when it comes to NATO. The only folks today that are fighting for Western Ideals are the Ukrainians and the German cucks block any support anyone wants to give them.

For anyone who thinks Europe can challenge Russia on the battle field ......

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/nato-runs-short-on-some...

This doesn't mean things can't change but currently Russia could roll over Europe in a week unless the USA intervenes.

Bank of America built their own cloud. They say they save 2 billion a year.

https://www.businessinsider.com/bank-of-americas-350-million...

It seems no company wants to be in the business of in house IT Systems. They think moving all their infra into the Cloud absolves them of all the responsibility of owning it themselves, they don't give a shit how much it costs but then tell you everyone has got to save money and tighten their belts.

>When the team administered the vaccine to mice....

There is something that already exists that's free. Multi day fasting to induce autophagy. It's not pleasant or as convenient as getting a shot/taking pills but it's been perfected over the last couple of million years with no side affects except discomfort. You might also try adding a dose of exercise (more discomfort) and cutting out things like Fructose (20% of the American diet) completely.

Based, No shits given when it comes to China.

They have to understand to keep pedaling and not to stop while you push them to get up to speed where it requires a lot less balance. The hill method you mention offers the same affect. It's amazing that it only takes a try or two and they are set.

In my opinion Audi creates the most visually appealing vehicles inside and out. There are very few brands that can compete with them on looks, very few. Mechanical/dependable/value is another story.

This might as well be a joke. I am willing to bet anyone here that this will never happen. It would be like trying to start a new company to compete with AMZN selling the same things they sell online. Yeah, good luck with that.

Why is it no one wanted to put up a fleet of Satellites to provide Internet access until SpaceX did it? What makes these companies/countries think they can do it when the expense will be (?) times greater than what SpaceX can do it for?

Broadcast storm. Never easy to isolate, as a matter of fact it's nightmarish...
