I’ve never been in a single accident and drive a basic compact sedan I bought new off the lot 10 years ago. I could buy it used today, with current mileage for about the same price I paid new. I’ve paid about half the initial purchase price in insurance premiums.
Being a good driver sucks, but it’s kind of like healthcare where…wait a minute I’m healthy and getting fucked there too. As I age I’m going to street race and try to gain as much weight as I can.
That flank. Sigh. I remember the turn after Occupy. It went from economics to being cool to just broadly bash men. I specifically remember outspoken, angry women at marches and protests and was like wait, where did the economics go? Like 60% of Republicans wanted wealth reform during occupy. It unfortunately coincided with really great–though apparently transitory–improvements in lgbtq rights. It was so weird to me that self-labeling “feminists” were suddenly talking like it was a zero sum game; for women to rise and improve and build and grow, men had to be put down. That is of course the language of someone seeking power, a charlatan, but it became quite normal. Even questioning the broad criticism of men wasn’t appropriate in “liberal” press or circles for a good decade. The whole "yeah but bashing men isn’t right/fair or clumsy” finally started working into the Atlantic, NYT and other large publications in 2023 but the damage had been done.
It of course drove lots of men right to the tall radio, podcasters–and those were young adults then–i can’t imagine what it was like growing up since then as a young person with the normalization of some of this stuff.
No it isn’t.
(Yes, you’re correct)
No it ISN’T, it’s just CONTRADICTION.
5 minute rule is good, also because people coming into a gym or starting a new exercise routine have a lot of energy and no muscular endurance nor is their body used to working out the joints, tendons etc. they will push themselves to “work hard and make progress” and then be in pain and it builds fear and reinforces negatively working out. Many a ship sunk by not really, really easing in.
Even a super out of shape body is amazingly capable of exercise and movement if you ease into it. Then when you have some baseline with your body “ok we can walk for 20 minutes now”/run for t minutes now/do x situps etc., then you can slowly start to add intensity, weight, etc.
Go slow, go light, succeed.
Right, it’s why I shared this; the economics of it are undeniable and I hadn’t seen or read much of modular building technology in this kind of combined implementation so I hoped it might help visibility for those looking to consider options.
It’s not going to make single home developers change overnight, but if it’s safe, decent and affordable compared to the stuff that is currently thrown up it could help turn the tide. That’s to say nothing of those who currently are unhoused and don’t want to be but the time and materials investment is too enormous for local communities to consider building housing on their own.
That presumes the standards of potential beneficiaries of affordable housing. Globally?
There are many cities, even in “wealthy” nations who have awful options–or none–for people. This could help some, and help ease market leverage incumbent landowners have because development is slow and expensive.
I bought it new last April from mint mobile: 399 with 12 months of phone service(I’m on $15/5gb/12 month plan now). Saved me $10/month vs. visible and I had to get a new phone anyway as my p5 was aged out of security updates. Basically with the savings on my monthly bill it dropped the price of the phone $120 in my first year so $279 for a new phone and 12 months of service.
The 9a is starting to drop prices, if you need to re-up with a carrier I’d look for deals, might be able to get one new for the same price or less.
You are probably caught in a catch-22; many such HR systems didn’t used to require security questions to make resetting passwords easy. Then, of course with modern data breaches the companies over time added in the requirement. The problem being when they added the security question requirement, they didn’t do the critical piece of requiring all current users to update/create security questions so any login attempt outside SSO and you’re screwed. Someone else’s problem boss!
Jack black isn’t funny at all. He’s worse, incredibly fucking irritating and annoying and a try hard. He epitomizes mainstream US “comedy”; obvious, loud, overstating the delivery of jokes with overwrought physical humor. He and Horatio Sanz must have studied under the same Sithlord. Can’t stand him.
They will sell it to the highest bidder, likely foreign. That is the whole point of the “sovereign wealth fund”. Trump and the Uber wealthy see it as an asset to plunder, who cares if Bahrain owns Yellowstone or you have to pay Bezos to fly over the Amazon Canyon? The future is amazing!
It was dumb speculation until he took down all regulatory apparatus, and grabbed the national checkbook while trump made himself a puppet king. Now any money not in Tesla is crazy.
Divorced from reality? Teslas CEO controls Treasury payments as of a week ago.
I cannot think of an easier bet than on a dictator’s personal interests rising. Trump is just a sock puppet for a bit. Musk, Vance, etc. are the next Gen of uglier.
“upgrading”
If you truly haven’t connected the dots as to why the slide to the right of Democrats enabled Trump to win, and win again, I pity you.
Throwing labels at me because you can’t refute the point is always the mark of someone on the correct side. Rest easy!
He allowed extra-judicial torture practices there against UNHR and any humanitarian objections. He didn’t do what Trump is going to, but he allowed it to normalize and continue despite the power to stop it, and makes it less of a leap for a right wing freak to make something like this happen. It’s not a “thanks Obama”, but people down voting holding Obama to account for keeping it open want Dems to be blameless despite complicity in the neoliberal bullshit dating back to Clinton as the party swung for corporate interests and abandoned their humanity.

Yeah this is years old; WA and more recently CA and others have pay disclosure as well. Those same shite employers likely can’t afford not to hire from entire swaths of the country so will retreat back to their idiotic shells and post/hire for any state as “remote”.
