Which is ironic for Mazda, because at least like model year 2019 and prior you could literally telnet into the CMU and do all sorts of hacks to it. Whether it was intentional or not, Mazda has enjoyed a bit of a sheen of being kinda hack&#x

Titles have value. Two people with same pay, their rank in the company and relative progression in their career is determined by title. Arguably titles can even trump pay. Would you take the title of CxO even if we leave your total comp the

> the liability is rent. Yeah, the words "monthly commitment" are the key there, which describe the upper limit to your exposure. There's value (which has a cost) to the limited liability. Conversely, you're not enter

That’s a bit like calling the (old school) ACLU an advertising arm of the book printers.

That’s the vestigial spirit of your American heritage right there. Embrace it. Not American? Either way, I say embrace it.

What does the ATF call that in the gun world? “Constructive possession”? You had the parts to make one, same as owning one! Felony charges.

The "cut" you're getting is dwelling in a building where you own near zero liability for its upkeep; you often get to live in a place whose ownership is above your means and credit worthiness to own directly; you have no long

We often think the critical skill is being able to create something of value, but unless it's charity (which has value, dgmw) the critical skill is being able to create something of value to others and then to protect the potential ret

It's likely because I was in the exploration frontier of Alaska. This was late nineties, probably an operation run by people who worked in the city in the '80's and who could continue the old ways far away from the social gla

Picking up, I tip excessively for delivery, and honestly it's because I've been both a delivery driver and standing at the ovens, so it's purely a personal sort of nostalgic solidarity/empathy/love to send some joy

Well, you don't _have_ to give a tip even if prompted. Part of the struggle here is learning to ignore any internal shaming mechanism for valid conditions where no tip is warranted - specifically, taking a product off a shelf and charg

I worked for BP for a while (well, as a contracted coder) and I got quite used to the UK spell check correcting everything to its idiom. Everything seemed wrong once I returned a world that dismissed the value of the letter 'U' an

Yep, horses are massively expensive to own. Aside from required caloric intake, think living space, waste disposal, pests, specialized care (farrier), vet bills, tack, grooming. Ugh.

There are reasons to prefer a Pi over a used mini PC, but it is not reliability. The fact is that with Pis or PCs, _if_ you're still running after a week, you're highly, highly, likely to survive past the point of usefulness. Reas

It’s (I think) misleading to characterize the AK permanent fund dividend as UBI, even if only because many people perceive UBI conceptually as meeting basic needs. $1500 a year pre-tax (give or take) isn’t much at all. At best it’s a less-t

Not sure when your trip was but I was able to drive to Inuvik during the summer months on the Dempster highway back in late eighties or maybe very early nineties. No ice roads/bridges were required, just a spare tire. I remember bad mo

Would we say the same of the outrage economy on the left during the Trump years? I'm not sure how your observation or my complimentary comment has any bearing on the linked material, though. Are you using this observation to make sense
