"Money I got, time I don't."

My dad said this offhanded joking remark to me 30 years ago and it lives rent free in my head. It's a privileged view point for sure but I took it to mean save and be prepared but don't be frugal toa detriment. Spend on things you love and spend away on things you hate. Don't waste time if you can afford not to.

This super relevant to me. Just looking through all those apps in the store and how annoyingly they push subscription and in app purchases of dozens of dollars for basic features. Thanks for this. Hopefully more new parents find this.

I hated using a dating app back in the day. I can't imagine using it for fun or validation. At least okcupid had fun dumb quizzes.

This is too easy to hit on accident. If your phone freezes and you try to turn on the screen too many times in rapid succession - boom 911

I hope it comes to the pixel phones soon. Though I enjoy wunderground it would be nice if that weather widget was more helpful.

It was like 92 or 93 and my dad brought home a computer and didn't know what it could be used for so they just let 7 year old me mess around on it. My year older cousin told me that we could use it to talk to him using instant messaging. When I showed my parents they were blown away.

Also when I realized the computer they bought had bundled with it DOOM. That was great!

Jrock, specifically The Pillows, which lead to dozens of other jrock band discoveries. I don't listen to it much anymore but it defined me and my friends from the years 16-26

Thanks for posting this. Its really interesting, I find some of Johnny's videos engaging but I didn't know there was some push back to his methods or conclusions.

I do like the idea of peer reviewed YouTube videos and this econ professor was really thorough.

I think I have most of these from humble or epic free. But thanks for being so generous .

Edit: maybe rise of industry
