I bought a new car in April of 2020 and it was a screaming deal. Paid 3k under MSRP for a prestige trim and the total price was in the 20s. Maybe your friends just don't know a buying opportunity when it comes around?

Where are you that has wet bulb temperatures of 98? That’s near or past the point where lethal hyperthermia sets in for otherwise healthy persons.

My first thought for a counter is $1,000 an hour, fully comped room, food, and beverage in their very best high roller gambling addict tier accommodations. I mean the kind that comes with a butler. And then some residual fully comped stay c

Meanwhile the homeschooling revolution continues. Few people realize what an absolute state of free fall American public schools are entering. You know all those annoying “Karens” who show up to the school board and PTA, who volunteer for t

I wonder if chemically sterilizing almost every young women starting around the age of menarche (to “regulate” their cycles) and through their otherwise most fertile years has something to do with the precipitous drop in fertility in the de

I don't see how open borders socialism can ever be a sustainable system, but I guess we'll see.

In my state you're required to update your address, but they don't send you a new ID unless you pay for it. So if you get pulled over and a cop runs your license it will show your new address. On the other hand the bars etc don&#x

The Post Office is definitely the most pleasant interaction most Americans will ever have with a federal agent. Although I will tell you, don't ever eff with a postal inspector. Those people have police powers that could make a game wa

The newspapers are the masters of the cheap and nasty rhetoric I referred to in my first post on this subject. As for comparing Hitler quotes. Haha, very funny. But it turns out by that metric Taylor Swift is a genocidal monster[1]. [1] ht

There is no Nazi-like party in Germany. The AfD's platform of reducing immigration (not even eliminating it or repatriating!) is a far cry from the Third Reich's atrocities and trying to draw a comparison is obviously cheap and na

> Are you saying that risk management is (mostly) buying suitable options to balance your trade ? Kind of. Fundamentally risk management comes down to bankroll management. And one workable general approach is the Kelly criterion[1] or so

That was how I learned to trade options. I didn't put a penny in until I learned the fundamentals of risk management. Then I played around, won some, lost some, learned a ton, and came out a bit ahead. And never once was I at any risk

> Going to war is first and foremost a political act even if it is followed by a military response. Yeah I think we can safely assume that the German general staff were familiar with Clausewitz.

While it may be entertaining to feign hypotheses, really who cares? It's an observable fact and thus it has to be incorporated into any rational phenomenology. But the glib answer is many women find nerds annoying. In particular, becau

It's not a flat percentage exactly and it varies by state[1]. I'm not sure how I got 10% in my head maybe that's roughly the average? [1] https://calmatters.org/projects/california-keeps-millions-in...

You raise valid points and I agree with the thrust of what you're saying. To quibble a bit though I'd say that Medicare and Medicaid aren't really individual spending, but rather a pharmaceuticals and healthcare subsidy, much

The state also gets a 10% rake off the top, which is why child support judgments are so enthusiastically enforced.

Personally I think Peirce's semiotic was digging in the right place, but sadly even his genius intellect wasn't able to bring those conceptions to unity in his allotted time.

Has Wayland adoption really been so slow because of technical reasons, or because of its developers and advocates observably abysmal social skills? Edit: I know that could kind of sound incendiary, but let's consider the facts. We&#x27
