I am self-employed in New York and I pay $1,500/month for shitty family medical insurance with a $6,000 deductible. None of us has been to the doctor for more than a checkup in years.
I know this was modded funny, but my dad was a cop and told me they did this exact thing to protect home-owners from lawsuits and criminal charges. They would even take a dead burglar who was half-way out the front door facing away from the house and turn him around so he was on his way IN the house.

Shit. Is this my ex-wife? It sure sounds like her.
You've got it all backwards. When they said they will be "bringing ore down for the highest bidder", they meant the highest bidder gets to decide where the target is. A million tons of iron raining down from orbit onto wherever the highest bidder says it should go.
I sold my company for $1.5 million. All the various taxes took about $600,000. I invested the remaining $900,000 in high tech stocks (in 1999) and a big house. Tech stocks crashed in 2000 and my house is worth less than I paid for it. When all is said and done I have about $300,000 left from $1.5 million.

Help me understand the bottled water thing. If I lose power, why would my tap stop serving water? Along the same lines, why would my gas stove stop burning?
Kefir is easy to make, once you have a starting culture. Just drop a glob of the starting "seed" into milk. Leave out overnight away from heat or sunlight. The Kefir will eat all the milk and give you a big jar of Kefir. Run the Kefir through a strainer. Drink the liquid. Put the solids back into the jar with new milk. Repeat daily.
I'm not sure if the store bought Kefir still has live culture in it. I got mine from a friend who got it from a friend etc. Been drinking it for years from that one starter "seed".
I went this way. It's rewarding but tough. The biggest challenge is you have to spend 100% of your time being a salesman for your company, and the other 100% of your time DOING THE WORK that you sold. If OP is "not a people person" he may find it difficult to become a salesperson.
Although let's face it, no matter what job you have you are a salesperson and the product is yourself.
At first glance I thought you said 'pop corn out of my nose'. I was picturing kernels going in one nostril and fully popped corn shooting out the other.

I homeschool my kids because I want them to get a better education. They are two grades above public school level. And yes, they understand evolution.
Holy shit, where do you live?

> We had 2000 years of dark ages where people basically did nothing
Hmmm this time period overlaps with something else that happened over the same 2,000 years. 2,013 to be exact.

what could possibly go wrong?
Just let the robots fight it out with the zombies. Hunker down until they all wipe each other out.
The cloud is great. All of your worries are taken care of by magic gremlins, as an added plus you are web-scale.

Just curious, which of these did you choose?
I hate you.
I taught my son regexes so he could help me, and he is walking around mumbling 'I hate .* '

> knowing just Windows, Linux, or Mac OSX is a bad idea. You are putting all your eggs in one basket so to speak
Yeah, covering 99.999999% of the market is just dumb. Ignore Netcraft, BSD is coming!
Why yes, I am. How did you know? Oh shit I have a TrendNet Webcam, don't I?!

I'm not thrilled with the idea of someone bringing 5 million tonnes of iron ore down from orbit onto my head. What could go wrong?
i see what you did there. "ribbons" heh.
Are you implying non of the other candidates survived the interview? Tough interview.
And if your spelling is any indication, you don't have much anaclitic ability either. Good luck matting.

hahaha. You must not be from the U.S.

Then why does the label tell you to call an environmental hazard company if one breaks?
