Re:Tell HN: I think you're downplaying the PHP community on Friday October 14, 2016 @11:40AM (#12708802)
PHP is the Toyota Corolla of programming languages. Not many are passionate about the Corolla, but it's one of the most widely driven cars in America.

I challenge you to come up with a better car analogy.

A legitimately good part of Facebook is the community driven support groups and swap groups. My wife and I also cloth diapered, we picked up almost all of them through local swap groups and some through ebay. When our son grew out of things we posted these things back to these support groups. My wife organized around 10-15 meetups at a nearby park and made back ~US$300. I think the largest item sold was his infant car seat and stroller combo that went for $65 or $75.

So yea, both coming and going, these local groups were troves of good cheap items.

Hey Matthias, taking the opportunity you say thank you. I look forward to your videos each week and really enjoy your no non-sense approach to wood working.

Thanks for all the videos, especially the dresser ones.
