Having a wife who is working takes some of the financial pressure off.
My children were four and eight when I started my business and it wasn't a problem at all. In fact I would say it made many things easier because I had a more flexible schedule.
I do wonder about that. If you had it in you to start a business then I doubt you would have been sitting around waiting for the next downturn to do it.
I wonder what the mechanism for that would be or if it was just coincidence. The medical consensus seems to be that T1D is triggered by a viral infection.
It's the same in the UK. Also I have been trying to get them to list my address for two years now. Google were able to update it but any requests to Apple seem to go into a black hole.
I can't speak to Europe, but in the US in a very rural location, I never have speed limit issues to begin with. I believe I have also submitted a couple of changes for small things, and they've all been handled so far as I can tell as I have not run into them again.
Probably typical in that Apple's services in the US are generally better than elsewhere, but just wanted to add a positive with my experience and acknowledge that it's likely better here due to location within the US.
>despite most recyclable statements being effectively false
I keep seeing these sort of statements but have yet to see one backed up by a link to some reputable evidence.
My local supermarket accepts clean soft plastics for recycling and when I investigated I found membership of schemes to ensure full transparency. Looking further I found the companies accepting the waste and financial statements indicating heavy investment in machinery to deal with it.
Plastic recycling, because of what plastics are, is basically impossible at cost. PET recycling might make you think "see, we can recycle plastics" but first and foremost, PET recycling isn't recycling, it's reuse (using the PET as a base material to make something else, like fleece, which cannot be recycled), and second: the majority of plastics aren't PET and literally have no recycling path.
Turns out you can fit a lot of papers in a youtube video when you have a degree in the field and you're doing investigative journalism that you present in a way that people might enjoy watching.
And the final message is definitely a little more nuanced than that =D
Pretty much all of my work has been published on the internet over the last twenty years. Some of it has been commercial, some open source and some that is just for myself.
I’m pretty much done with that now, I doubt I will publish anything online again.
