Thank you, that’s super helpful. It’s coming into the right season for where he lives, hopefully he’ll be able to make it work.

My son has talked about getting into the handyman business, but doesn’t know how to get started finding customers. I’ve always been in the corporate world and I have no idea how to help him get started. Any suggestions?

Spent some time in flow state. Pretty much every good day I have at work has some time in flow. Spending all day in meetings, interruptions, etc. is where bad days come from.

This is by far my favorite “conspiracy theory”. Smells like bs, and yet… it hangs together in my gut a bit, you know? I don’t exactly buy it, but I don’t exactly not buy it either.

I am currently hosting my own email on a server that I rent and I am absolutely sick and tired of email issues, spam, google randomly being assholes and blocking my family’s traffic, just stupid shit. It’s a second fucking job at times. I have DKIM, DMARC, SPF all configured correctly, Google just randomly decides to stop my traffic randomly. Which of these options would you recommend for say up to 20 email accounts or so, using your own domain? I assume all of these options do things like spam filtering on the back end.

To be clear, I am not looking for free, just reasonable.

I have one of those floating around here too, the thing I didn’t care for with that model was that the blade doesn’t stick out very far. The one-handed action is nice tho. The one I carry every day is this one https://a.co/d/29pk73c but it’s not currently available.

Slider style EDC utility knife. Small, lightweight, and because the blades are cheap and easily replaced you can abuse them - cut on concrete, pry stuff, if it breaks the blade, not a big deal.

https://a.co/d/gouJDKV typical example but there’s lots of different ones.

Bonus - these blades are more expensive than most, but still cheap and last a lot longer than standard blades do https://a.co/d/bQj77Qz

This is a good place to start for helmets. They have the same sort of ratings for different sports so if nothing in the equestrian list looks good, you should check the bicycle list. Note that it’s not necessarily current for everything but it’s a good starting point.
