People shouldn't pay any attention to these articles. I retired early years ago. It isn't the annual budget that one has to plan for, but the unforeseen expenses. I took care of my mom and dad for a while. He had top notch medical

These are capitalist ventures, not socialist ventures. The goal is to make money, not become a warehouse for dead weight.

If your solution is "more tax", then your solution is both lazy and stupid.

I've been using M1 since it came out. Loved it. Fast, snappy, smooth. Prior to that, I had a Dell XPS that ran loud and always felt laggy to use. I was going to upgrade to M2, but $2k+ for an essentially base laptop. Nah. I grabbed a n

More tax is always a dumb, lazy idea. Make EV's more affordable, not ICE cars less affordable. As it is, half the people with a driver's license in this country cannot afford a base model Honda Civic, much less an EV and its assoc

They are cheap. I bought an Asus Zenbook 14 OLED for $699. It has 14 inch 120 Hz OLED screen, 16 thread Intel i7. Solid build quality throughout. Metal exterior, very good keyboard and trackpad. It doesn't have a discrete GPU, but I do

They have been closing stores for a while, and will close a lot more in C11. Corporate is very much trying to devise some way of keeping the doors open, but they are going to hit the same wall that a lot of other retail operations hit. The

They are going kaput, and have been for a long time. I was in one last year, and the store had many empty and partially full shelves. The last time I had seen something similar was when K-Mart hit the skids. Aisles of nothing, and then an a

I have a problem with taxes in general, and this is yet another stupid idea. Increased tax loads always get passed on to the consumer. What we will end up with is higher cost of doing business and 100% for certain federally run universities

It is even worse now. Not only do you need an account, but it won't scan if your ink is empty.

Buick Enclave and Lincoln Nautilus are two Chinese made cars in the US. Expect US car manufacturers to have the bulk of their product lines to be made and designed in China before too long.

No one will pay them a fair wage because there will no plants for them to work in. The US manufacturers will simply ramp up offshoring of entire vehicles to China. The new Lincoln SUV is an entirely in house design from Changan motors soup

You are right on the money. Many of the tools law enforcement uses are straight up hocus pocus, and they lack the training or ability to question their methods. New York's main crime lab completely blew DNA testing, and thus rendered a

My last two orders from Amazon were counterfeits. One was a pack of Sandisk thumbdrives that were very obviously fakes. I determined that Amazon simply doesn't care anymore. The value proposition was completely lost because I had to dr

A friend has a mongolian horseman bow. He shot a birch tree 75 yards away, and the arrow went in nearly an inch. I knew they were powerful, but I didn't know they were that scary powerful.

Things like this is what causes lawyers to lose cases for their clients. Imagine being a client of a lawyer who uses ChatGPT. You lose the case and then your livelihood or worse. These twits should be disbarred, and without hesitation.

I made the mistake of ordering a lens from Amazon. It arrived in a bubble envelope. I didn't even bother to see if it was functional. They did the same thing with 2 2tb nvme drives. Bubble envelope. Sent right back. And yet, they will

I cancelled a while ago. It is easier and faster to shop at a local store...and often times a lot cheaper, too. For instance, some gardening gear was 3x more expensive than Home Depot. I guess they are counting on people not cross shopping.

Mods seem to think they own the subs they moderate. They do not; the subs belong to the community. Mods do have too much power at the moment. The easiest way to resolve this is to perma ban all the mods of closed subs, then remove the abili
