When I meet people, they usually don't know that my dad is Steve Ballmer. I have some friends for whom it took a really long time — like many months — before they realized the link. There was this guy I used to be friends with who went out of his way to talk to me. My comedy friends are also awesome, and my newest group of friends, my girlfriend's friends, are really cool. Since I'm not a big spender, I don't think anybody eyed me and thought, "I can probably get a ton of money out of him."

But the timing made Hoffpauir's proposal one-of-a-kind — he wanted to pop the question during the solar eclipse on Monday, as Lewisville was in the path of totality. Related storiesShe also had to wear eclipse glasses as she set everything up once it started and could only remove them when the eclipse reached totality. Finally, the eclipse reached totality at 1:42 p.m., and Hoffpauir and Alex sprung into action. "He got down on one knee right there, right in the middle of the flash, and got that beautiful diamond effect with the totality." Harbison was completely surprised, as she didn't suspect the proposal or that Alex was anyone other than an eclipse viewer.

Earlier this year, YouTuber Marques Brownlee said the Fisker Ocean was the "worst car I've ever reviewed." I thought the Fisker Ocean was a great option, based on the price and a nice marketing message around the sustainability of the vehicle. I reported the issue to Fisker right away and I struggled to get them to come out and service it. FiskerAt first, Fisker sent out a roadside assistance guy to jump the car and the car wouldn't jump. Regarding the owner's seat-sensor issue, the Fisker spokesperson said the seat sensor was a "routine fix for some early vehicles."

In 2018, right before I graduated from high school, my parents said I could build a tiny house in their backyard, and live rent-free. AdvertisementMy dad and I built the tiny house togetherIn a way, a piece of the structure had already existed on the property. AdvertisementMy tiny house has the basics but on a much smaller scaleWhen you step inside the tiny house, there's the kitchen, which has a love seat, lower cabinets, a countertop, and appliances. For example, there's a shower, but because it's in a tiny house, the shower is smaller than your typical shower would be. Living tiny taught me a lot and made me think of what's truly important to me.
