How saving gets me high π°
How saving gets me high π°
I do automatic savings every paycheck. Have done it for years – about half for retirement and half in more mid-term and short-term investments. I don’t really care money alone, for me it’s a means to that off-grid home and farm, my own land where I can have whatever guns I want and burn barrels for trash and a wood stove. Produce my own electricity with solar. Compost and feed waste. Land that is my own, that I can manage for ecological diversity, hunting and trapping, livestock like pigs and goats for food. And that’s a vision that gets me high with a little dopamine hot every time I get that notice in the email.

The Brief, Baffling Life of an Accidental New York Neighborhood
But how did this defunct train station end up looking like a neighborhood on Google Maps? Sisson got lucky in his search—one site specified a Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) number for Haberman, part of a system used by the U.S. Geological Survey. The USGS maps had spaced neighborhood and train station names differently so they could be distinguished from one another, but somewhere along the line there had been some confusion, and Haberman was clearly listed as a populated place. Sisson speculates that a USGS employee made the simple mistake when the old maps were being digitized, and then those data got a second life then they were picked up by Google Maps’ algorithms.
