My $2k hearing aids got stolen when the office I worked on got burglarized (seriously, who steals custom fit hearing aids?). I replaced them with the $500 Bose Hearphones and haven't looked back. My hearing aids were not high end, the only advantages it had was that it was more discreet and it's batteries lasted a whole week, but with the Hearphones I also get noise cancelling(love it on bart and the open office), easy access to volume control, it's rechargeable, it connects to my phone via bluetooth so I can listen to music, take calls, talk to Google Assistant, etc. All for 1/4 of the price of my cheap(by hearing aid standards) hearing aid.
I went to college and graduated with a Computer Engineering degree from SJSU without any financial help from my parents, the government or anybody else. Oh and I had to support my child from the second year on as well. It took me about 30% longer to finish it, and I was sleep deprived most of those years due to having to work AND go to school, but I graduated with $0 debt.
lol, I wrote a little Javascript thingy to do that for me, but I'll try this for sure. I hate that they don't keep the course materials open indefinitely... and I don't get it either.
There are very few things I hate, but textbook publishers is certainly one of them. Really, a Calculus book with material from a century ago costs 150 bucks? And they change the order of the exercises every 2 years so you can't get a used one? A F#$%^&* hate those mafakas.
Luv it, I don't hate a lot of things but I absolutely HATE Tow Truck companies, in my area if your car gets towed on street cleaning day the fee is $230 + $90/Day! Their parking lot is about 1/2 mile from my street! And you still have to pay the parking ticket. Such a rip off.
I used to drive a cab in the city a couple years ago and the bikers situation on Market street during rush hour was pretty chaotic from that perspective as well :P
Thanks everybody for the insights, I really appreciate it. I have this idea for an app I'm gonna build it and see what happens :P. In the mean time I'll change my resume a bit so that it emphasizes the stuff you guys pointed out.
