  • Getting up to speed

  • Same when I got on ocd meds. Love being able to go and do a thing without compulsively making lists of every other tasks that I could be doing.

  • XXX

  • Rents are skyrocketing because demand is high and we literally do not have enough housing for the number of people we have in the places they live.

    Suddenly dumping more money into the economy would just increase the price bar on that demand, and prices would go up more.

    Prices can increase for a lot of reasons, and going up from one doesn't stop them from going up from another.

  • What were the dumb things you did in 2020 to prevent COVID?

  • I remember I'd just happened to buy a resin 3d printer, and so had bought a few masks to use for that. I got into printing and painting Warhammer because of the pandemic. Still have a a small army that's entirely printed and about 3/4 painted from that time.

  • STEM

  • Similarly, from an engineer's perspective, scientists are a great addition to the working group when you need to find the flaws in the system, but awful when you actually just need something to go into the real world and work 80% of the time ;)

    Especially when you're time constrained.

  • The problem with not voting

  • despite all my rage IT keeps me trapped like a rat in a cage.

  • Program management system for the entire division? Excel. "Agile" task tracker? Excel. Requirements manager? Oh no no, that one's written in a word document with no version control. I have trauma. Use tools made for the thing you want to do, please.

  • Supreme Court will take up Trump’s eligibility to run for president

  • The 14th is a reconstruction amendment btw, it wasn't drafted or ratified by the founders.

  • It's quiet - too quiet.

  • The room is pitch black, you're relying on dark vision, and you just failed your perception check. I can definitely see this happening outside of bad DM'ing, and I think the PC being sus of a blank room in an otherwise dangerous dungeon could also be in character.

  • US agency will not reinstate $900 mln subsidy for SpaceX Starlink unit

  • If they were able to meet the actual up/down metrics for the subsidy, I don't see why they shouldn't get it. But they weren't able to do that, so they don't get the subsidy.

  • Wikimedia Foundation calls on US Supreme Court to strike laws that threaten Wikipedia

  • Is this a US thing I'm too French to understand?

    I'd say likely yes to this. It's much easier to centrally govern a more geographically dense and homogeneous country.

    In the US we have strong localized government (city/county, state) and the more sweeping Federal government.

    And they do submit to central government, that's exactly what the discussion in this article is about- will the central court decide to strike down their local laws?

    Not The Train Route We Want, But The Train Route We Need: The Greater Northeast Corridor

  • WATER

  • And why it makes great rocket fuel...

    ...if you ignore all the other side effects

  • Gift giving in post-scarcity society must be really hard.

  • I feel like it'd make gift giving more difficult, but more meaningful- you would have to give people actually customized things, something you made or something you think they need that they haven't noticed. Harder, but shows more thought than giving generic-consumer-item#528

    I know this is a meme, just made me think

  • Virginia admits thousands of voters wrongly purged days before election

  • For middle incomes in the NCR in DC or MD it's usually cheaper to get the same thing in VA, on an income tax basis alone.

  • Neck rule

  • A friend would use "theydies and gentlethems"for dramatic effect

  • Permanently Deleted

  • For some reason I kept imagining sending this post back in time to Benjamin Franklin and how he would react

  • Roots of Mother Appalachia

  • Was thinking of this pod while reading the post. So good

  • A homeless recovery campus at an old fort on the plains is so successful Colorado is making more

  • Sounds like what the old Kirkbrides (think the stereotypical big Victorian asylum) were originally intended to be before we overcrowded them and made them closer to prisons.

  • You have to earn $115,000 a year to afford a typical house now in the US

  • I'd assume it's a Federally levied property tax, the rebate applied to Federal income. Could be on the basis of the county assessed value of your property though.

  • An industry shouldn't have multiple human rights watch reports about working conditions

  • I've been a meat eater my whole life, and a well made impossible burger is pretty damn close. There's nothing "not meat-y" about it like I've experienced with beyond meat. I even use it to make my biscuits and gravy now because I can't tell the difference at all in that.
