I do too, I picked that idea up from HN. I often don’t get to the front for three or four weeks which makes the news part interesting. Last week I read a piece from early in the Iran/US war and it was telling me I wouldn’t be able to buy petrol by then but the reality was prices were already falling off.

>Also any company they acquire will be gutted until it looks like the rest of the org.

I'm trying to think of a Microsoft acquisition which has been a success. Nothing comes to mind.

On that subject a laser level is indispensable for any work that needs to be straight. I don’t know how I managed without one before.

It amazes me that people don't notice. I was driving with a friend once and had to tell them to pull over because they had a puncture.

Most homeowners are going to get through a $25k bill ok. That’s about the price of the cheapest new car on the market, less than half the median wage in California. Worse case you add it to your mortgage.

A $250k bill is a different matter, that’s the sort of thing that will bankrupt many.
