This is not even a quandry to me. I want to live in truth as much as possible and I would really like to not have money problems. Even the no charity thing is not that big a thing. Hire people at good wages to do things or have affordable rentals. Run small businesses with very low profit margins.

im in the us so a third of my expenses are medical. last I checked and I have not really wanted to do the math again as everything is way up. I would need 6k a month so 72k a year but that is after taxes so would need to be more like 90k. This was as of almost 2 years ago though so it would be higher now.

A. Lot. I really need to retire early especially since I am out of work at the moment so now would be ideal or better yet a year ago. Wish I had the money to though.

I mean im in the us and we have often masked, often unmarked, paramilitary draggin people off the streets in a way that seems to be geared toward as much property and health damage as possible and executing people every so often for good measure. The bill of rights is being ignored which is basically a list of things happening to cause the revolutionary war that they put in there to say these can never happen. Being apolitical 50, 25, heck even 10 years ago was one thing but you have to be a fool to not speak out at this point.

old dependable gil. Say what you want about the irish but he is one of the best.

this kinda makes me want to make a new reddit account. flaming-icefqr69

Haven’t really kept up with them. Not big on facebook and don’t live nearby and life is to busy in general. Know at least one college guy became a nutter and another sorta a bussiness asshole.

we must be twins.

I mean im fine with what I chose given the options I have had and the information I based it on but I just don’t like the world. It just has not been going in the right direction and moreso the older I get. I feel like the us was at one point leading the way with social security, 40 hour work week, minimum wage, and child labor limits but then dropped the ball on healthcare big time and we actually stunted more progressive societies because of our influence. I think I would be pretty happy if social democracy dominated post world war 2 and was common by now but I don’t see the world changing enough for me to be happy even if I personally am doing all right at any particular time.

I always felt they weight the system underestimate gas amount at the high end and understimate at the low end because people are stupid and run their tanks low.

You know its kinda funny. Im a masker but during the pandemic I was amazed at things people seemed to do or say they do. On the one side you had neighbors using their dog to trades stuff and its like. Um a big warm biologically active surface. Not the smartest. Then like people don’t seem to understand distancing and masking in terms of math. Outdoor is different than indoor and ventilation matters. I had some people saying they did not go outside during lockdowns (not lockdowns like someone actively had it in the household but city wide ones). Its like you can go outside just don’t get within ten feet. That being said really early on when we did not know shit my wife would spray down deliveries with lysol and only opened them to check what they had but left them be until needed rather than putting them on shelves and such.

cops should carry liability insurance just like doctors and a cops rates will be effected by where they work. When one cop watches another break the rules they should be watching their monthly premiums rise.

As scott said I don’t really want to follow users. That being said I really wish these things could be setup more like trust cafe where you can rate users. Basically you rate them 0-100 where 100 would be subscribe and 0 would be block and everyone defaults to 50.

AMERICA! Nyew Bee!

if you have a rice cooker you can cook lentils with the rice and they are so small it cooks right up. Can add any veg or spices you like and the key with the rice cooker is the harder something is to cook the smaller you need to cut it up. I know you said veg but you can throw raw chicken in if its cut up small enough without poisoning yourself. I put that in just to showcase the cutting things ups small. You just can’t beat beans and rice for macronutrients vs cost. If you want to go for a superfood that is not to expensive buckwheat is amazing.

Its not because it had to be the best though. Its because it has to compete with planes. So im not sure what you mean by saintly but it was something needed to be more environmental since planes are not going anywhere.

trump is te trump version of Xi Jinping. Honestly I really feel trump is the trump version of putin and I feel putin is a trump version of Xi Jinping.

Yeah. @petter1@discuss.tchncs.de has a valid point but as we all know validity does not equal truth. regular rail is one of the most efficient modes of transit and high speed rail degrades due to the speed but high speed generally does not compete with regular rail as much as air travel due to the long distance which is not more efficient than the high speed rail. In addition high speed rail tends to be electrical while most regular rail is diesel or worse and the electricification alone brings its co2 per personmiles below the low speed. The other thing it competes with or replaces is car travel which it is more efficient than although Im not sure how that plays out with very efficient electric cars but my guess is it still would win by volume for even something like the aptera and of course the high speed rail is going much faster getting you there in timeframes more like air travel.

A programmer died at the place I last worked. I had worked with him and I don’t think it was overwork but he was the type who naturally worked on the software so much because he genuinely enjoyed programming. After he died some of the management when talking about him went into how he worked so hard and the best way to honor him was work harder. At least it sounded that way to me. It ws creepy.

yeah it is like saying a cure for virus or a cure for bacteria. Its like why we don’t have a cold vaccine and flue ones have to be redone every year.
