    Average commute in the US is 45 minutes each way, so as long as $25k is ~15% of your income or less, it may not be so bad of a deal as you think. (or total income of ~$167k; which …

    This looks/sounds neat, I'll be happy to keep an ear out on how you're doing. The thing keeping me from anything more yet though: What's the ductless option like? I don't have any …

    You mean 2009? The limit was 100k before then. I wouldn't be against pegging it to inflation, but that's still only moving it up to ~$330k.

    If I'm writing for just myself, I could save myself the trouble & just not post. If you were just writing for yourself, you wouldn't have commented here (and neither would I have).…

    When this gets to reasonable stability, this may be enough to get me to buy ReMarkable just for it. It might be worth seeing if they have any sort of referral program. "Buy ReMarka…

    "viewed as assets to buy and sell for a profit, and nothing more." I'm not sure this act in itself is morally neutral, imo. There's reasons ethical concerns about objectification (…

    It seems dire, but I'm also hopeful in the recent organizational shift. I'm not aware of many other sites moving to a community-run model, & if they can build out enough runway I'm…

    That's where I used to be for years, first in Tiddlywiki, then away from that as it was having trouble with browsers (it's good again now, I gather) and into a Dropbox folder of ps…

    I've run into a variant of this: Beer. Citrus is a popular adjunct flavoring for IPAs and other hopped beers. Sometimes it's obvious, a grapefruit shandy is going to have grapefrui…

    "being okay with unfavorable outcomes; knowing how to control your risk" Isn't the winning move not playing, then? I've never seen the appeal. If I lose, I feel the loss of money; …

    This is a good way of putting it. Having graduated high school in 2008, it's felt my entire adult life like I've been reaching for brass rings just within reach (for me), barely cl…

    Consistency is overrated. I could substitute words in anybody's statement to make them sound terrible. And besides, I specified 'signaling & identification'. I may have missed wher…

    It's odd to attach "contributing to toxic divisiveness" to someone pattern-matching, rather than the people creating the pattern. It's all signaling & identification, so if you don…

    Don't they have a cryptocurrency to fund them instead, now? I mean, I get it, asking for money means more funding than not asking for money, but it combines in poor taste, in my op…

    If homes appreciate by 1%, the market averages 8% (taking the article as given), but rent's going up 10% yearly, I'm not sure the numbers still work out in the writer's favor. The …

    If there were ever a post to drive me away from a product, this'd be it. Good to know that I should stay well away from KeepassXC, if this is what its defenders sound like.
