I wish people could live my life before cable and the internet.

We are so so much better off now than the 3 networks is all you get days.

Somebody in N.Y. decided what important to me, not me.

When i wanted a sports score or tomorrows weather I had to listen to 30 minutes of news.

As I get older I want to consume Far Less news.... And I can now pick and chose. A much better place than the 1960s or 70s

I bet this person's letter carrier and/or the post office where she resides will know or have a very high and good guess at who she is

Nobody wants to let Google win again.

I do. Google greatly enhanced my life, esp. Driving and directions.

I was an adult BI and speak from experience

Tell him to go.

College and dorm living is where, in our family, we meet and fall in love with our spouse. The marriages that worked passed this on for 4 generations. This is an unspoken teaching to all that grow up in all of our roofs.

For me, my kids, my siblings and our parents and (probably both gp) the best thing that happened in college was meeting our spouses.

I'm the guy people want to ne friends with. Im very friendly. I don't want friends. Most end the same way: we connect, share & remember things, then i turn cold and act less interested. Then we become good acquaintances. This pattern existed way back in high schoolHi

Having friends is not on my list of success Or even a positive achievement. Being friendly is at the top of the list.

I say to people i meet and to others now, make sure the potential friend really wants the job.

Driver gets x Uber cut is y X+y = z

Z ÷??? = 100

Where does the 100 go?

The best example in my stats class on why sampling was used: working for the phone company he had to determine if poles were rotting. Practically speaking he could not use a random sample: he sent a pole climber to an area and while there, climb a few or several in the area. It would not be practical to climb one here, another 3 miles away, etc..

Because of my insight i get to know a group of people barely making it. i do help when i can.

I see absolutely no financial help for the one time and many time needs of this group. Yet there are plenty of people with a lot of money.

If i asked them a question it would be have they considered helping people with tiny gifts. Did u read the article? They made up and answered 10 questions. I made one

A new way to give..a new way to receive... Sometimes i see it simply as a match game of need v supply. Our filter system for need is still pre internet

Those questions seem self asked.

I'd want to know if?they tried or interested in tiny short term gifts to help a person today, right now. We have gofumdme. But no way to give the coworker $200 to fix her car; $35 for gas; $100 till next oay; or one year of Uber so they dont spend 1.5 hrs pay to from work. Some silent gates ambassador who knows help when it's needed
