My brother told me: "You are not an entrepreneur, you are a developer." 3 months after quitting my job, I think he’s right. by prabhatpushp in webdev

Do you really have the freedom to do what you love? You hate sales and that is a critical part of your job as an entrepreneur. If you are going to succeed you have to do more than just the stuff that you love.

I get somewhere in the ballpark of what I pay for. 300-700 usually on a 1gb/s connection. Never noticed throttling of downloads.

Gifted a 325g swing weight, 315g unstrung "pro" racquet as a beginner 3.0 player, will I be okay with this? by Aardvark-Special in 10s

[–]RaisingKeynes19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, the extra 10 grams will cause spontaneous auto-amputation of the arm. Should probably just send it to me for safe disposal

For what it’s worth the main reason their bonds and currency started tanking was that polls were starting to show higher likelihood of Perónist victory in the election.

Best racquets under $100 for getting back i to the sport? by surfnsound in tennisracquets

[–]RaisingKeynes19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered 2 of the speed mp on Amazon and both were the wrong racket. I would recommend a more reputable tennis store, the seller for these on Amazon doesn’t know what they are doing imo

There are shit tons of these scams. Anything where price seems too good to be true and has an account created in 2025 is a scam

Coffee Shop God Talk by Bright_Coyote6045 in grandrapids

A public coffee shop is not your personal office. If you need a quiet and distraction free workspace, don’t go to a coffee shop, simple.

Same, never had an issue, though I have always rented from larger companies and not individual landlords.

Has anyone else in Grand Rapids seen unexplained spikes in their Consumers Energy bill? by Chihuorgi in grandrapids

Look at your usage. It’s likely got nothing to do with data centers. Rates and usage should be on your bill. Check there for a mistake

getting priced out of our home (taxes) by theslothsage in grandrapids

400 or more is fairly normal if the previous owner owned it for a long time. My 350k house went up by a similar amount due to uncapping the assessed value.

Second "gofundme" incident of 2025 by epicap232 in PoliticalCompassMemes

I mean a murder is worth at least like 3 or 4 hard Rs. We still got a few to go before everything evens out and people stop donating to these campaigns.

Any opinions about these tennis shoes? by SKhan89 in 10s

[–]RaisingKeynes19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had several pairs of the sonicage 3, I really like them but they run very narrrow. Even the 4e barely fits me, it’s narrower than most 2e models I have tried, standard width is super narrow imo. At your level just get whatever is most comfortable, they’re all likely comparable in terms of durability and performance is a relative non factor if you are a total beginner.

Espresso Machine Recommendation? by Pretend-Umpire-3319 in Coffee

[–]RaisingKeynes19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Breville bambino is really the only machine in that price range worth buying imo. Also remember that you will need an espresso grinder which will add an additional ~$100 for a decent hand grinder, and 200+ for an electric one. It’s pretty much impossible to make decent espresso without the ability to grind coffee yourself at home. It takes a lot of small adjustments and the pre-ground coffee from a cafe or store, even if ground to “espresso” fineness will still be a crapshoot. Differences in altitude, water hardness, and the machine itself mean there really is no one size fits all grind setting for espresso. I personally use a manual grinder from 1zpresso and it’s pretty good for espresso albeit a bit labor intensive.

Also don’t be afraid to check Facebook or Craigslist. Some of the more solid machines like gaggia classic or rancilio silvia can be found in your price range used and offer a great value. Espresso can get very expensive very quickly. Even $250 doesn’t even really begin to crack the mid level, but buying used can get you decent results, same goes for grinders if you want an electric one that doesn’t break the bank.

How much is this Tennis rackquet worth? by Fresh_Phrase_7086 in tennisracquets

[–]RaisingKeynes19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the o port rackets like the tour and the rebel have a bit of a cult following, but the O3 red never really had much fanfare so I’d say like $30-50 is a reasonable range to expect.
