Around here, similar to the Bay Area, community college and K12 pay is around $65k, and your typical new mortgage is $45k annually.

I'm a pretty bad cook which probably explains why I never had a problem cooking on any kind of surface.

In the US, social security is the angle to take on this one. "Unless you want changes to your social security, you'd better make it easier for youngsters to have kids and for peopl…

Sorry, I'm still trying to follow how bike lanes make me less likely to think about having children...?

The stuff of legends...

But don't lab leaks that result in pandemics still require lockdowns and restrictions when dangerous diseases are leaked?

It seems to me TFA is arguing that it does not.

Edit: I take back my snark. I never understood the "it's really important for us to blame the lab leak" angle. I certainly want to know what actually happened, but some people real…

Asterisk the director's cut is amazing.

You're not wrong, and you're right to push back on that. The speech pattern is real.

I have yet to be so-accused, but if I ever am, I'm just going to accuse the accuser of being an AI. :)

Look, it's either simple or it's not. ;)

I was able to do this a while back in my late 40s. Took 7 months off or so, and insurance was $42/month (bronze). I had enough savings for the gap if I needed it, and it was just m…

I'm so glad we rearranged those deck chairs.

Since it's email, we probably want to send content of several different types, and MIME is baked into HTTP. And the commonality with email-style headers is nice, as well.

I have a different idea. How about we weight your vote by your fiscal commonality with the average American? No?

And HTTP transports many, many more things than hypertext. It seems like a sensible choice for this use case in terms of capabilities.

Yes? But also I didn't say that was ok in exchange for no ads.

Not the GP, but my daily journal goes in a proper journal book (though I find the cheapest possible one that has semi-rigid covers) and my freewrites go in cheap wide-ruled composi…

It should be. How screwed are you if you lose your phone?

And apparently a lot of people can't access their savings with grapheneOS. I know eventually I'm going to end up carrying 2 devices.
