Was wondering if anyone was going to chime in about still having this old Kindle. I still have mine and use it daily. Battery lasts 3 weeks as long as the wifi is off and the free 3G still works too. Purchased it in July 2011. I also want a new e-reader but I also want to see how long I can keep this thing going.

Looks like it is free for your use case. Pricing page[0] shows $0 annual cost for small businesses, which is defined as

> Educational institution, nonprofit, or business/individual with less than 250K USD annual revenue

Just listened to the first couple tracks of the Complete Spanish course and it reminds me a lot of the Michel Thomas Method audio course [1], which I couldn't recommend highly enough.

Surfing is a great safe way to learn how to fall.

Another low-tech thing I have done to protect myself is I have physically cut the numbers off my cards with scissors. My name and expiration date are still there. This way when I pay at a restaurant in the US and the card is out of my sight I don't worry about someone writing down the card details. So far not a single business has refused me when I hand them my modified card with the numbers cut off.

Hey everyone. I want to say upfront that I'm looking for a place that would be open to a 3 days/week schedule.

I'm a software engineer based in Santa Rosa, CA. I have 10 years of experience using a variety of technologies across the development stack. I love learning new things so if you have something in mind that doesn't exactly fit my experience and there is a little room for some ramp-up time I would especially be interested (would love to work with Rust or Go). The most interesting thing I've worked on lately is I developed from the ground up a UI system for an electric car using OpenGL with bindings to Swift which runs on an embedded Linux device.

I'm looking to bring my experience and skills to a new project. Please reach out if you would like to chat.

Thanks for reading!

I would venture that many owners are willing to rent direct and save the airBnB fees if they can meet you in person.

I've been living in Spain for the last couple of years with normal 1 year leases. This year however I didn't know if I would be able to commit to another year so I started looking for multi-month AirBnB rentals. My current 1 year lease is 920€/month (with utilities about 1000€) for a furnished 2 bedroom apartment with a great view of the beach. All of the AirBnB's I was looking at even with the ~50% monthly discount were showing around 1700€/month. I picked 3 I liked and messaged them through AirBnB that I was living in the area and I would like to check out the apartment in person but I can only afford 900€/month. All 3 replied to me with counter offers between 1100€ and 1300€. I picked the one I liked best, met it person, and we agreed on 1000€/month for a 3.5 month lease including all utilities. We signed a lease contract on the side and both avoided the fees.

AirBnB is great for booking a place when you are not in the city but I think you can get much better deals if you know the local market and are able to meet the landlords face to face.

TLDR: If I was going to look for a place for 3-4 months I would book the first month through AirBnB then apartment hunt in person in the target city for the remaining months at a steep discount.

I like Tydlig

I agree. I bought one of the Philips light alarm clocks[0] years ago me and my wife both swear by them.

Looks like it is a fitness tracker of some sort.

Love it! I'm using it for Spanish and I can already tell this will help me a lot. Thanks for making this.

I work as a software dev for a company that does home automation systems [0] targeted at "high net worth individuals" (ie: people with large homes). Our product mainly goes into new custom built homes during the construction phase and we do everything hard wired. If you have the opportunity to go hard wired over wireless you'll thank yourself in the long run.
