McGill?

For a client meeting I prefer a nice lunch place or just to meet at their office? I do have a FEW clients that work out of their homes. They’ve always been happy with whatever coffee shop is close to them.

I’m pretty much the target for this, I travel a lot for work and it’d be nice to have a place to “office” out of, but the competition here is:

1. Free - Even after checking out of my hotel, the lobby always has a corner or two to work in and decent wi-if. 1a) I have status at one chain and they’re always great about just letting me walk in to any of the chain and suck up some internet and plug in my laptop, even if I wasn’t staying there. Bonus is that they usually have coffee!
2. Free - my car. With tethering my phone to my laptop, I’ve done more calls than I care to admit by just finding a random shady place to park the car and get to work. 2a) The park (when it’s nice enough outside)
3. Free- Libraries - The public library system is great. Not a good place to take calls, but if you need a place with a chair and internet to do some work, it’s an option.
4. Free - Client’s offices. I have a good enough relationship with a number of clients that I can ask to take over an empty desk (one even has an empty office with a KILLER view of the city that they’re just fine with me taking over for a couple hours.
5. Cheap - Coffee shops. Buy a drink (bonus) and grab a seat for a bit. They’re super abundant and you can almost always find one close to your next meeting.

I’m certain that WeWork has its benefits, but competing with free is pretty hard.

One person starts saying things as a joke or as a griefer and people run with it.

There are reports that it was downed power lines. It was super windy which is what also caused it to move so rapidly and with such ferocity.

I used to carry a bottle opener but it had been YEARS since I used it and decided that 99% of the time that there’s bottles that aren’t twist, that it’s at my house and I have to walk further to get my keys than the opener that is attached to my fridge.

Because the government can’t afford a book of matches?

They fairly loathe it. They are relying on low Information voters, suppression , and gerrymandering currently. Ranked choice would decimate their ranks. That said the fact that Dems want to cherry-pick the areas they support this in reeks of malfeasance.

Is it really unclear? If you had never heard of a product, you would much less likely purchase it. If Coke stopped advertising today, they'd start a very slow but real loss of market to it's competiton, be it Pepsi or whatever. Note that a LOT of advertising is not for you. It's for the corporate buyer at name your favorite restaurant so that they think that they'll get more consumers in the door because they have Coke products, as opposed to some other brand.

I’m still rocking my 3rd gen. The biggest problem is actually that my eyes are starting to have a heard time reading it in lower light. A little larger screen like on the newer models would be nice, but there’s not really any groundbreaking updates to drive me to upgrade. Battery life is still pretty good for a 6 ish year old Device.

Likely links to compromised sites to install malware and build a bot net.

LOL - what redeeming quality do you think he has, other than 'owning the libs'.

I was part of the great Digg migration. I won't say that I've sworn off Reddit completely, but I will say that I start here on Lemmy. The volume of content on Reddit is still so huge compared to Lemmy that it is likely to take a lot longer than the mass switch that I was sort of hoping for away from Reddit.

This is the key. There certainly were NOT 100mm people that signed up of their own accord.

Hit the lawyer, facebook up and delete the gym. Or something like that.

This one is actually pretty straightforward. The middleman here charges interest and hopes the borrowers default so they can sell the assets at a profit.

BLASPHEMER! WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT LETTER!

INCOMPLETE AND POORLY DRAWN “8”. The deep state got to the author before he could finish his work. Anyone who claims it’s a lower case “g” is clearly delusional.

I believe this is generally “Sea-lioning”. They pop up and toss out some argument that doesn’t even have to make sense just to suck up the time of somebody so that they can’t engage in honest discourse with someone arguing in good faith. IMO, ignoring the trolls is for the best.

I found that Huel didn’t keep me as full as Soylent.

Primaries. It's where most elections actually happen anyway. The vast majority of Senate seats are gerrymandered so that one or the other party is practically guaranteed a win. Generally the best strategy is to vote in whatever primary is going to win the general election, and try to move the levers from the inside instead of putting forth someone that is guaranteed to lose in the general.
