Celebrity AMA guide: open to suggestions, criticisms, and comments by Drunken_Economistin IAmA

How about suggesting that they actually use reddit for about 15 minutes first. It might be a bit burdensome for them, but actually participating in a discussion first would be a huge benefit.

Anyone here hosting a wordpress site on Nearly Free Speech? by ramblingtonin Wordpress

[–]ramblington[S] 0 points1 point ago

Thanks for the reply. I'm actually considering asmallorange. Which hosting plan do you use with them? And what kind of sites are you running with them? Thanks.

How do I find out how much storage my wordpress site uses? by ramblingtonin Wordpress

[–]ramblington[S] 0 points1 point ago

I do have command line access, but I'm not an expert. Any chance I could get a layman's explanation of the above statement?

What movie(s) contain Tchaikovsky's violin concerto in D Major, op. 35? by ramblingtonin answers

[–]ramblington[S] 2 points3 points ago

You are my hero! I just moved back to the US after living in France for 6 years so this is definitely the one I was thinking of. Great film btw.

I moved some of my sensitive files from My Documents to a TrueCrypt partition then deleted them. Am I 100% secure now? by ramblingtonin techsupport

[–]ramblington[S] 1 point2 points ago

Thanks for the info. Just to be 100% sure, this program simply permanently wipes what I have already deleted. The files I want to keep will remain on the computer, right?

Gold standard and fractional reserve banking? by meoxu7in austrian_economics

[–]ramblington 0 points1 point ago

If you are interested and have a lot of time to read, you should check out FOFOA's blog.

He blogs about the concept known as "Freegold" where basically gold and fiat currency could co-exist by keeping fiat as the medium of exchange and using physical gold as the store of value. In the current monetary system, they are both the US dollar which leads to problems for savers when the FED QEs to infinity. But it is also a problem under a gold standard because having gold serve both purposes leads to unique problems as well.

Is it just a coincidence, that the moon is just the right size to cover the sun during eclipses? by Cody-Coyotein answers

[–]ramblington 1 point2 points ago

There's a Neil de Grasse Tyson quote where he basically says that aliens would come and visit Earth like humans go to the Grand Canyon just to see the spectacle of an eclipse.

So yes, it is a coincidence and we can count our lucky star(s) that we have an opportunity to experience it. I personally saw a total eclipse in 1998 and the experience is transcending...the pictures you see don't even come close to doing it justice. It is just that awesome.

Maybe an expert Googler can find the NdGT clip.

Do you have a link for this? Also, what is CAP? I'm an idiot when it comes to this stuff.

I'm looking more for one, comprehensive site that compiles all the information and stays up to date on the predictions.

Moving back to the States: How can I best contact employers before the move? by ramblingtonin jobs

[–]ramblington[S] 0 points1 point ago

Good advice. I've already thought of both of those things actually. What I've done is the following:

  • I have a sentence in my cover letter that says, "Although currently living in Foreign Country, I will be returning permanently to the States at the end of April and I would love the opportunity to meet with you in Name of City to discuss a possible future at XYZ Company."
  • At the end of my cover letter, I have two bullet points that say "Willing to relocate" and "US Citizen"

Do you think I need to make it more obvious or should those two things suffice?

Thanks!

Very interesting, albeit slightly depressing given my situation. Thanks.
