I also don’t like getting them, but I’m also getting thinner on top and it looks worse if I let it grow out. Bad times.

This is a really good idea if you’re in a position to be putting any cash savings aside. In a perfect world everyone would have 3 months of expenses in cash savings, obviously that’s not always realistic, but if you combine that with an offset or revolving credit then you have the benefit of having that safety net while still saving the interest cost on that money. Our offset mortgage saves us about 100 bucks a week, a good chunk of that is just my provisional tax sitting aside waiting to pay the IRD.

America has two authoritarian right-wing parties to pick from. One is less right wing than the other, but they’re still both to the right of the major right wing party in my country (New Zealand)

It’s the climate crisis but for health. Some people just can’t bear to give up their treats in order to save lives.

I still make little static sites on occasion. There’s still free options for hosting, I’ve got some on GitHub and used to use netlify til they changed their free tier. Sticking a static site into aws s3 +cloud front is super cheap if you don’t have much traffic. The nice thing is that they run forever without any intervention.

They did the last time as well.

Hacker News has a monthly Whose Hiring thread which has a remote tag in the template. There’s a website that pulls all the comments out and makes it into a job board of sorts but I can’t remember what it is.
