When they skimp on what they buy for their kids so they can buy what name brand junk they want for themselves with the balance, and then spend cash on something like expensive earbuds, or one of the vice-lane purchases, I'm going to ju

Not universally, but it's hard not judge when you see what some people are buying with their (restricted) benefits card(s), and then what they ring up separately and choose to spend their cash on. I think it depends largely on how much

I'm with you. He impressed me until the list. Stacking containers and finding more storage space is smart, but I think he also went pretty far outside his knowledge domain when he started talking about messing with train logistics and

Yeah- I suspect the push for Ethernet over hdmi has a lot to do with getting all these "unplugged" smart devices reconnected to a network.

When I shopped TVs a few years ago, Sony was the only consumer brand that didn't have ToS that included language about this type of advertising. I'm not sure if that's changed. They still spy on you plenty, though. That'

Why? In the past (pre 1960s/70s/80s) spouses largely didn't meet in college/university level education or at the workplace, or if they did, it wasn't as peers. But my point isn't so much that people meet in col

If that's the case, it's even worse than a power grab. What's the quote about abusive power done on behalf of the abused, and not ever having a reason to stop?

Except many couples meet in school, where they'd be exposed to a disproportionate number of potential spouses within their own field of study, and maybe to a lesser extent others in related programs within the same college. Which would

Swimming pool temperatures in the south easily get over 85, and sometimes 90 degrees in the summer. We always bought big blocks of ice to throw in the pool in the summer to cool it off.

>How about increased taxpayer funded healthcare costs? A known cost of socialized medicine. Unless you want to go down the road of justifying any government coercion or loss of freedom as a taxpayer cost saving measure.

(New) Compressor stations now must now be electrically powered to get permitted by the federal forces that be. (With very few exceptions.) Even replacing compressors that were self powered now need to be electric. It doesn't make any s

Yes it's about signaling. But it's also more than that. It might not change minds, but that doesn't mean it doesn't instill an initial position. And it definitely prevents many people from even considering an alternati

Once you account for transmission, distribution, charging, and battery inefficiencies, electrics fall to the same range or below ice vehicles. Especially using fast charging technology. And ironically, using grid renewables decreases relati

No- but you need the number of houses in a given price range to more or less match up with the number of buyers who can afford them. Look what the jumbo loan and other federal loan limits are within a given market, and if you plot real esta

Which is a direct result of restrictive federal lending policies, which make it difficult for builders and investors to finance building rentals or spec-houses. It all goes back to Dodd-Frank. "Fixing" one regulation with another

Which is why I want room in my cart to get those new things. So you get all the regular staples and bulky items delivered ahead of time. Which also allows you to replace any missing out of stock items from the delivery. Makes the store a mo

The whole US. I found it hard to believe how little diesel emissions are regulated in the EU, especially after the huge deal made of VW testing scandal. For all of the rhetoric, I'd have thought the issue was more strenuously regulated

That's not what I'm saying- people are picking and choosing when to apply marginal changes to questionably applicable research and when not to. The same people saying "close enough" with vaccine transmissibility trials b

Our local hospitals have lost on average over half their nursing staff in the last year, and hasn't been able to replace near enough of them. This was before vaccine mandates. Which is only putting more stress on the ones who stayed, a

Because you're still allowing people who can transmit the disease around these "vulnerable" patients. And the line drawn isn't even an arbitrary number, but an arbitrary policy with an assumed improvement. An improvement

No- it's about whether a 4% reduction (or 40%, or whatever marginal rate) in transmission is cause for termination, when we know that "compliant” employees, in a near 100% vaccinated population will still transmit the virus. More

Which is fine- but that also means it isn't applicable to the current variant. If you say it's too old to study the current virus, it's also too old to justify any treatments or policy with the current virus.
