Pretty sure i was billed at 10x when I started at Andersen Consulting in 1990. My starting salary was 21.5k.

99designs is another option, albeit at a higher price point (but still far below OP's budget). I was very satisfied with the logo and redesign I got there. Got to see a lot of options before settling on the designer we chose.

While on my way to Desolation Sound in British Columbia, I've run across the Canadian Coast Guard hovercraft Siyay

It was quite a surprise, and very loud. Heard it before I saw it.

Post title is missing the word "developer".

A senior is an old person, which is (usually) not the same at all as a senior developer.

That makes sense. I might suggest to explicitly address this. I think you may be underestimating the potential for visitors to your site to see it as some kind of a promotion of fringe/alternative/unorthodox solutions. Snake oil. The lack of CPAP without any explicit discussion of why you don't offer it immediately raised flags in my mind that this is perhaps a bit of a scam.

Why no CPAP?

Any sleep apnea solution that doesn't even offer CPAP feels inherently suspect and fringe. Especially when you just kind of gloss over it.

I've been very happy with CPAP for over 20 years. If it ain't broke why fix it?

It feels like the Italians are trying to make up for / save face regarding the luxury goods sanctions carveout after experiencing widespread criticism.

Check out The Cake Doctor cookbook. it is chock full of great recipes that start with box cake mixes with ammendments. My wife bakes a half dozen birthday cakes from it each year and they are all great!

"The image files tricked the iPhone into giving access to its entire memory, bypassing security and allowing the installation of spyware that would steal a user's messages."

Seems like there is a lot behind this summary of the hack.

How does an image file trick the iPhone into all that?

I think they can also do useful things like traffic maps and album art over nrsc5

I think this discussion is just about email using your own domain.

I think you meant to use the word lose not loose. I suspect you mean lose the data as in delete it, not loose as in releasing the data to others.

I used quite a bit of high school trigonometry when building new stairs and guardrails for my deck.

Yellow lead chromate is sometimes added to turmeric to give it a more vivid color.

There was just a bad case of lead poisoning in a family near Seattle that was traced to lead in the turmeric they brought with them from a trusted shop in Bangalore.

I think of the hours my friends and I spent handling lead we were using as strategic ballast in our Cub Scout Pinewood Derby cars.

Having lived and worked in a right to work state all my life, your comment does not ring true for my experience. Employees can be members of a "protected class" (one of which is simply being over age 40) which is often the core of an improper firing civil suit.

Amazon SES will cost pennies for personal use volumes. You really need to stay on top of any reported abuse complaints or they will shut you down quickly, which is a good thing in the big picture.

I firmly believe that actions speak louder than words. People will say all kinds of things to project an impression, and then you see what they actually do or did, and sometimes it's quite surprising with the inconsistency.

Because attorneys know how deep the employer's pockets are, which gives them a great incentive to pull out all the stops, which gives corp HR the incentive to make sure there is a long and painful performance management process before anyone can be fired without it exposing the company to too much risk.

Did you successfully go from having yourname@yourdomain.com as the primary Google account on your phone, with the account setup under Google Workspace, to an end state where you had a "new" Google account for the exact same email address with no connection to Google Workspace.

I understand it's a given to lose the purchases. I'm semi-dreading the prospect of being presented with an error message preventing the creation of a new Google Account for an email address previously under Google Workspace. This may be irrational...but it seems like a case where Murphy's Law would rear its ugly head, and typical of the "gotchas" that these legacy accounts have had to deal with when interacting with certain Google products.

And I guess the worst-case downside is that I might need to create a new Google Account with a different email address from my primary email address just for the phone and Google apps, which is awkward but isn't the end of the world.

I've been meaning to migrate but am more than a little leery of the potential for gotchas and disruption. Any advice from those who have gone through this already?

I understand you just lose all your Google Play purchases and need to re-purchase any apps or subscriptions you want to keep. I'm assuming this will basically require an Android phone factory reset and to be setup fresh with a "new" Google account for the old email address? Is this the case?

I also understand the need to do a Google Takeout and download everything. Already got bit by this once though when I recently did a Takeout to backup all my Google Photos content: a week or so later, after I had already permanently deleted the originals, I received an email from Google saying "sorry there was a bug in Takeout and some of your large videos were omitted from your exported data". I guess you need to comb through and verify everything actually made it to the Takeout to be safe.

When you migrate an email address off of Google Apps for Your Domain to another email host or self-host, what happens to the Google Account for that email address? Is it possible to shut down the Google Apps for Your Domain service for the domain in question and then establish a new fresh Google account for the same email address (not a gmail address) that was formerly part of the Google Apps for Your Domain service?

Also all that hoarded unearned wealth can buy a lot of influence. Look around your city at who the civic leaders are and the agendas they are pushing with wealth that accrued just because great grandpa followed his manifest destiny and was in the right place at the right time to acquire tracts of natural resources or now-valuable urban real estate.

It also seems like a bit of wishful thinking. When you ask most people, they want to live in a single family home. And that's what these guys are building. They're building to capitalize on the market, not to the overall benefit of society necessarily. But the latter makes great marketing so it gets woven into all the messaging, whether it's really maximizing social benefit as opposed to maximizing developer profit.

I keep a backup postfix server in a different location from the primary. It all kicked in once about 3 months ago and worked beautifully.

You can create smtp credentials for use in any email client. The api is optional.

I'm surprised by the tourism angle.

Can you say more about that? Are these tourists who fell on hard times and had to work to raise some money?

Or is it workers who exploit tourist visas just to get entry and take these jobs... In which case, why call them tourists?

You can have the best of both worlds with self-hosting received mail and achieving good deliverability by using a service such as Amazon SES. SES will probably cost you less than $10 a year for personal email sending volumes. I use it for my business and it is less than $15/yr. Rarely get a bill for more than $1. They hold you accountable for any abuse/complaints, which is a good thing.

Don't neglect the .01% you get back after 40 minutes. Otherwise it is as if you are considering a scenario where 2 to 3 drinks are being downed in quick succession.

And decades of paint chips from previous exterior paint prep that may not have been well-contained.

Seems like a confusing name given that logparser for IIS log files has been around for a very long time.
