Yeah. Or in the worst case, put the money in a savings account now and use the money to pay for part of tuition next semester.

The difference between a pro and a hobbyist is the money, not the experience.

I wish I could get a Van Gogh for only a few thousand.

Then it sounds like the $1,500 is justified as your wife isn’t being cheap.

Why doesn’t your wife learn how to do it, then?

It kind of is, but she’s making her argument poorly.

If you want a professional photography shoot, there is a minimal expectation on equipment above whatever your phone can do. That equipment costs significant money to own.

There is also the money to pay for someone’s time for the shoot, which she argues for poorly. Even though photography is a hobby, selling services is a commitment of time to reach a certain minimum standard. That time is worth something.

This feels like someone who is having a crisis as the job they thought they would be doing isn’t the job they are actually doing. There is an internal assumed competence and reality doesn’t match that at all.

It depends on the bank. All my banks want everything to be digital and pushes everything to be handled online. This includes signing.

I’d question what bank you have.

I don’t know, in part because I don’t know what your job is. You seem to be processing a lot of emotions based on not being a good personality fit with the coworkers of your job, but I don’t know what your actually doing outside of some form of skilled labor.

What’s transcribing the speech to text?

The problem with freezing water is the material expansion.

That’s a really great application. I wonder if a thermal battery could be used for both heating and cooling.

Why do you think there is an investment to have people focus on Hamas?

Talk to people, like in person?

I figure it only makes sense in near Arctic communities where shipping costs don’t make it easy to have a supply chain of fresh vegetables and the heating costs are likely going to overwhelm the cost differential of a greenhouse.

I’ve seen a lot of cases where people are using the toilet as a urinal. That seems to be where most of the piss is coming from.

That said, if someone can’t use a urinal and needs to use a toilet, I don’t know why they aren’t sitting down on the toilet. I can’t think of a condition which in which you can’t use a urinal but you can stand and pee onto a toilet seat.

Music companies have a revenue sharing deal with YouTube. Does it have one with lbry?

The problem is that a lot of large places don’t want to accept cash. It is easy for small places to use cash because the owner is likely running the register. When you get to mega corporations, it is easier and cheaper for them to pay the credit card fees.

Maybe, but I’m also seeing more men going straight to the toilet stall to pee even though there are several urinals open. And even then, they should lift the seat.

I’m not surprised. Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz was a way to pressure the USA to quit attacking Iran, but the USA isn’t one of the most impacted countries.

Even if the USA ends up agreeing to Iranian control over the Strait, the other countries in the Middle East might not and it is unclear if the USA could prevent a continuation war with these countries. That said, a defense alliance without the USA could potentially lead to a removal of American bases from the region as agreeing to the removal of American bases could be a way to satisfy Iran’s need for security without requiring these countries to accept a tax on their oil shipments.
