Hmmm, 100 hours of audible content would run me about 3 books. So around £18 when buying bulk credits. Or £24 when buying monthly.
But I was taught to buy books by weight. Which has turned out to be good advice.

Yes you ship with the best of them, but you are also the glue making the individuals a team. That's something to be proud of.
However I do have to file an extra sheet of paper now just to fill out a single line for foreign address that's been removed from the 1040.
The one that I hear about people using most often is https://fatllama.com
The liability side of this will be interesting. I know with Fat Llama the reason I generally hear about them is due to items being damaged or stolen.
Work place pensions now are like investment accounts, except you have some degree of matching from the company and the government tops you up an extra 20% of what you contribute (it gets more complicated when you get into higher tax brackets, like getting 40% top up on portions, but getting it back by raising your untaxed income level instead of directly into the account. And very high earners it gets more complicated)
As an individual you can also open a SIPP which is a personal pension investment account, get all the government benefits but no company match of course.
Choose a group that does adventure trips for charity, like hiking kilimanjaro say, where you'd need to raise a fair amount and then do it.
No more nefarious or creepy than a screen saver.
what is it about the look of someone on, say a hybrid, who's wearing gear appropriate to their commute (which may be athletic gear) that induces so much tut-tutting?
well for 51% of the population in places like the US and UK, it's also a cultural thing...
So about £5.50 with out discounting for the fact you're over buying
Everything was laid out for you, what to buy, the order to prep and cook, and in one weekend you'd have everything ready for a month's worth of meals
I buy cars for longevity. I expect them to be able to last me at least 10 years if not 15.
Tesla doesn't have that track record yet. And is there anywhere to get them serviced other than dedicated dealers? It's a lot of money to potentially be lighting on fire when other fine, reliable vehicles are available.
And, yeah, Musk concerns me since he seems like he is Tesla. If he takes down the company...
I see no upside to a Tesla other than the cache of 'I own a Tesla'
If both banks invest in whatevs (local currency) paying 5%, then they get 5%, pay you 3% and make 2%.
Are you trying to reference relative inflation?
Or something about the USD makes it difficult to invest?
There are some numbers from Alibaba that I've seen in Apache Flink presentations, though I can't remember which ones off the top of my head
from what I understand Tesco bank had purchased bonds/securities/whatevs with a 5% interest rate, so made 2% off the deal. (and a slew of new customers worth x each to the bank)
Hopefully something similar is funding this
(I am rather shocked you get so little usage out of your running shoes though, are those race shoes or training shoes?)
'has parental controls': can't determine
well, it's a blooming thermostat. You can lock the thing out.
That's more 'parental control' than any standard thermostat.
creepy meter? as a gift for a non-family member? yeah, that's weird.
Understanding PFICs enough to report them properly is bloody difficult. Once you know how to report those you have, you can do it yourself, but you most likely will not be reporting them to your best tax benefit, but instead in the way that is easiest to understand.
When I had to research them, after 6 or so years of not understanding I had to report them before realising a gain, it took me at least 2 weeks of research and that was with prior knowledge of some of the acronyms you come across. At that point I think I understand enough to report mine but who knows.
Iirc in my research I read a number of times that the IRS has been formally asked to clarify some parts but they haven't responded. And that PFICs are the purview of only a small handful of specialised IRS agents.
Once I finally discovered a hint about which files governed the behaviour I was investigating I was finally able to isolate the tests to begin the debug cycle.
Sometimes it's just complicated.
hand rolling DI, yep brilliant, generally quite easy to work your way through because it's easy to see where classes are being used.
Hand rolling can get complicated when your applications get BIG and you want to do fancy things like having modular code (whether you ever use the module somewhere else or not) or lazy loading or multiple scopes.
Then you use a framework and you find your dependencies take dependencies, your wireup code is auto-magical, you inject dependencies into private properties, you want multiple implementations of particular interfaces but want to ensure only the right one gets used in each circumstance.
Then multiple people start getting their fingers into the pie and the DI/IoC explodes into config files throughout the application, and the only way to understand what's being wired up without a map, is to "find usages", pin files, and cry
(I'm not bitter or anything ;) DI/IoC can work wonders for handling complexity, it can also increase your complexity if you aren't very careful)
I just had to go through an open source project that uses guice, in order to try to trace a particular code path, since the user group was less than helpful.
Trying to figure what was running was an absolute nightmare of nested magic spread out through a score of files. Meaning as soon as I had a clue, I'd lose it as I had to retrace back through all those files.
I'm sure it's clear as crystal to the people who wrote it, but DI can be obtuse as hell if you have to figure what's actually running on your own.
Whatever ways you do, it would seem they fit with your world-view, so do them.
