No, fortunately. AC is pretty pervasive there, and my mother-in-law's house has it.

Oddly, I regularly think about how great plumbing is, and I've been noticing this for the past 5-10 years, I think (I'm in my 40s). I think one day I was probably in the shower and thinking about how awesome it was to have a hot s

I thought this was a pretty interesting article. That said, the reported effect size of 11.8 SD for the intervention seems suspiciously high. But I could certainly imagine it being comparable to giving cash. Another question I have is how w

Based on reading your responses my summary would be ... You've already tried to improve your current position, and it seems like that hasn't gone well and is leading to you losing interest and focus. Get a new job. In particular,

I "enforced" this as a manager at my last position. But I quoted the word "enforced" because this wasn't something I had to argue with anyone. I understood that it meant things might take a little longer, but it als

Instead of artificially limiting demand I think it'd be better to stop artificially limiting supply (zoning). If there was enough housing to meet demand, then it would naturally be a poorer investment, and so rich assholes would stop b

IIRC, Alastair Reynolds describes something very much like this in his novel Blue Remembered Earth, which is set on a future Earth about 140 years from now.

The engineering job descriptions don't really indicate that it's 100% remote. They seem to suggest they're looking for NC-local candidates.

You're conflating two things here re: classical music. There's classical music, the genre, which includes the Classical Period as well as The Baroque, Romantic, and Modern periods. Admittedly, this is really confusing, and it&#x27

Ah, looking more close, I'm just using rclone to put the backups on B2. So first I do a backup to a local drive, then I run `borg with-local ... rclone sync ...`.

I back things up to Backblaze B2 from Linux using borg. It works really well and it's incredibly cheap. I'm paying less than $1/month to keep about 155GB of data there. About half the data is from Borg backups, the other is r

This makes sense. I think it's really important to spell out what "communication ability" means so that all the interviewers know what they're looking for. And more generally, it's very important that before you sta

I've lived in a number of apartments and none were like this. Sounds amazing! But does it also have good sound insulation between apartments?
