We have waited the last couple years, so it's no sweat to wait another year or two for the prices to correct and interest rates to come back down to Earth.

I started working for a company that was using this tracking technology. Struck me as an invasion of privacy, so I discontinued their of the tool. There are other solutions out there for getting useful into on sticking points, crawl depth, etc. that don't expose individual user behavior.

I'm still in favor of remote work, but I think those who go to other countries (heck, even other cities) need to be conscious of their impact, make wise choices, and strive to be a positive member of the communities they are immersing themselves in. Governments and law makers can also do their part to minimize the negatives, because like it or not, remote work isn't going away.

The YouTube show Hot Ones opened me up to a whole new world of hot sauces that bring the heat along with great flavor.

"I suspect that if someone had proposed a new name, it would have been changed long ago," Tymchuk said.
So it never occurred to the people that did know about the mountain to just go ahead and give that name a refresh?

Seeing very similar things in my feed. 4 out of 5 posts are now an ad or "recommended" which only further douses my already very small desire to use Facebook at all.
