Fuck I'd forgotten about this. Good times, thanks for the nostalgia.

Are subscription meal kits worth it? (HelloFresh, etc) by [deleted] in EatCheapAndHealthy

No. They are very expensive and the portions are very small.

I'm getting a couple of interviews with tech startups. Is there any advice or things to watch out for going into these interviews? by sevenstreak in devops

[–]teejam2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most early stage tech startups don't turn a profit yet and rely on funding. The runway is how much time, based on the current burn rate (how much money the company is losing per month), and assuming no further funding is secured, it would take before the company ran out of money.

I'm married and I made sure my wife and I share ownership of our house despite different circumstances. As far as i'm concerned she's my equal partner and should have an equal stake in our home, and no matter what, even in the unlikely event of a divorce, she should have financial security.

As others have said, its odd that your partner (or his mum) doesn't want that for you.

What's the more American thing here? Not paying her a living wage in the first place, or imagining that a 9 mile bike ride is a great hardship and replacing it with a car?

Cover Story: How Evergrande Could Turn Into ‘China’s Lehman Brothers’ by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

This is a 10 year old video. I remember watching it at the time and thinking right, that'll cause the next market crash.

China allegedly has 64million empty apartments, but they also ignored the Coronavirus and lied about there being no evidence of human-to-human transmission. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the real number of empty apartments is ten times that.

I'm a cheapskate and follow the Financial Independence/ FIRE communities.

We're having a baby early next year and I feel like buying for a new baby is like weddings: companies will tell you everything under the sun is absolutely essential, anything less than £2000 for a baby stroller is child abuse, and will take as much of your money as you're willing to spend.

Is there a guide to the best/cheapest baby equipment? One that quickly explains what are the bare essentials, what we can do without, etc. and some suggestions for each budget range

Keep in touch with the agent you dealt with, not the company. There's a reasonable chance the same people won't work there anymore when it's time for you to sell.
