It's a 'massive student debt strike' activist says, as millions of borrowers still aren't making payments
  • Well, thats perspective. Thanks! Beaters did die, more than once...wasnt a cake walk.

    The context here started with college debt. I stuggle with the idea that a college graduate only find a minimum wage job. Or if they do, that that will be their wage the entire time they're paying off debt. Am I being naïve?

  • I graduated in 2011 from a state school in Minnesota. $90k in student loans. Private, parent plus, the works...first job out of school I averaged $50k on an hourly job, and only got up to about $65k by 2017. Got married with that debt, my wife had none. We both worked, my job and hers gave us combined income ~$75k. One bed apartment rent was $950 back then, we owned 2 cars, both beaters, no debt. Paid it all off in late 2019. No debt since then except a mortgage.

  • Apps that shouldn't be Subscriptions
  • Well, Canadian costs change the equation, even for me. $10/month is significant compared to $2.50. Caches are community created. But no one would known they were there unless someone published the information. So the money goes to a team of developers working to maintain the app and website, and the API they share with other 3rd parties. They have an office in Seattle as well. They have office staff and a foyer that is maintained for geocachers to visit and earn the find of Geocaching HQ.

  • Who's on your geocaching team?
  • Solo. My daughter enjoys it, but sparingly. Is her and my son get older I do intend to take them out more often. I'll share the app with friends when I'm traveling to, especially if they've never done it before. It's kind of fun to blow their minds and pull up the app and show them what's hiding right in front of them.

  • $30/yr? $2.50 a month? A hobby that gets you outdoors, exploring nature, exploring cities, learning the history and culture of an area, getting you to spend time with your kids in those same spaces if that's applicable to you isn't worth that?

  • Carbon Capture...
  • Geologist here. I work in Oil and Gas, but not for producers. Service side. We've helped with the geology of a handful of carbon capture injection wells this year. They get funded by the majors, but operated by someone else, and they drill them on site of a factory or plant that produces a lot of carbon. That way there is a local site to inject the carbon they capture as a by product od the industrial activity. Pretty cool stuff I'd you look past a quick internet search and make assumptions.
