Ridiculous. Why are you pushing this dreamed up narrative so hard without a single piece of evidence? Do you have personal knowledge of something that isn’t included in this story?

Bingo! If 70% of depositors exit (which actually seems possible) the bank does not have adequate assets for the remaining depositors and the bank fails.

Or just buy/hold/sell a stable coin like BUSD, USDC, or USDT to minimize your market risk. Please no comments on how “Tether is a scam”, blah blah blah.

The primary reason behind rent increases is the sudden, artificial increase in the number of households. This is likely due to the suspension of student loan payments and will correct if/when these payments resume.

Isn’t this more a question of how long the carbon is “sequestered” before it mostly biodegrades? How quickly does the seaweed biodegrade? Over weeks, years?

Miserable indeed! I was in Southern MN and did this job for a few weeks in the summer. We started around 5:30am and worked 8-10 hrs per day, rain or shine. Why do this? At the time (early 2000s) it was an extremely well-paying, unskilled jo

> Does it make sense, in a world like the one in Gattaca, for a person that is part of a discriminated class, to go into space, instead of trying to change the society around him to be less discriminatory? I think this is a little naive.

Right, and in my experience urban retail is often high cost, low quality. Some of the dirtiest stores/restaurants you see are in urban centers. They could get away with this because they had a captive group which was previously forced

You’re missing the point. There is always some efficiency loss at every stage, but we’re turning something that is not ideal for human consumption (conventional field corn) to something that is very palatable.

Much higher bills, but not as volatile. Of course they want this! Big win for energy companies, huge loss for consumers. All they had to do was create a pseudo-religion and get enough of the population on board.

The parent comment is complaining about the difficulty raising children. If you have children without accounting for how that is going to change your life, I guess I don’t have much sympathy for you. And layoffs are a reality of the economi

You should express that as a percentage of the population and also show precisely which groups died. Specifically, it was very old and otherwise very sick people. A large percentage of the deaths were simply pulled forward a couple years. T

Sure, but why not at least try to put the odds in your favor? We know much about how exercise and diet plays into long term health in the same way that wearing a seatbelt keeps you safer.

I see what you’re trying to do, but everything you list is the result of personal lifestyle choices. It is unfortunate that you’re having a difficult time but where you live and work is completely up to you.

The Fed was responsible for low mortgage rates because they were purchasing MBS. Mortgage rates are currently back to something more historically normal. If you’re upset about anything, it should be a about rates being so low for so long, w

Like many new things, Mate can certainly be an acquired taste! The instructions you’re seeing are for the traditional bombilla (cup) and pipe/straw. Funny that you refer to it as an “…incredibly hipster and convoluted drink”. It is act

Plenty of “rich” blue collar people in the Midwest have equipment that is much more expensive/luxurious than would be required for the job. For example, $100k pickup trucks are not necessary for farmers but still very common.

I guess I don’t understand this new language. If a biological male either wants to be a woman or thinks he is a woman, I must call him a woman or I am “denying trans people exist”? They can live their life however they want but why are they
