>I've stopped sending my camera roll to iCloud just to save on space.

how do you backup your photos when the phone gets full. I dont have a mac and the process is excruciating. Also the formats get messed up so some photos become unusable. I stopped taking 'live' photos because of this.

Im used to listening to a staticy job site radio half way across the shop. I dont really care about the quality as long as its better than that. I feel most people are the same.

My compilers prof said #1 thing about this career. Take care of your back. He messed his up from years of poor posture hunched over looking at screens.

The "debt" are the mortgages on multiple properties from the real-estate investing firm he's part of.

No need for concern he's still very wealthy.

I'll pass on the American stuff thanks. TomTom and HERE WeGo are better alternatives.

Did Elon make this site to pump his inflated ego?

10 seconds of searching gives you this.

> During Elon's teenage years, the family lived in large homes, drove luxury cars, and owned airplanes. Elon attended elite private and top-tier public schools in Pretoria.

Thats a pretty nice saftey net for Mr.SelfMade

Maybe more articles like this and he can get into one of those Epstein parties he so badly wants to attend :|

Well its a sod farmer so its his livelyhood. Im pretty sure if crows were eating your pay cheque or the food out your kids mouth youd shoot them too

We have problems here with crows destroying lawns to dig up grubs.

A local sod farmer told me they shoot one and leave it dead in the field. All the other crows show up for a crow funeral and when they leave they dont come back. They remember the crow that died there and treat the area as dangerous.
