I can relate but I feel it’s actually a deficit of energy. Parenting has consumed my energy. It’s not entirely physical or mental draining but just enough constant pressure that it leaves little overhead to really dive deep into a hobby. Bo

It's a fact that poverty and race are linked here, also because of the history. You'd have to be an idiot in America not to know of all the wrongs against POC throughout history. It's all but obvious to a majority but just fo

If it’s anything like the US, the listings only represent a minority of what’s available for sale and buyers are better off hiring a broker. If you could find a way to have majority of everyone actually list things for sale online, I think

I dislike how any conversation about this stuff immediately devolves into a decades ago history lesson about a thing as the singular root cause. Sure everyone is well aware of the history and you’re not wrong but it’s also history and not b

It takes reps/practice so anyone with more access should be better. Wealthier people are taking more trips to beach, may have a lake house, or have a pool at home even if it’s just a condo/apartment.

In America the racial cultures place different values on learning this skill. Black people not swimming has been a prevalent stereotype my entire life and I still hear jokes about it (primarily stand up comedians these days) I grew up poor

When discussing market shifts I think the relative nature of all these points needs to be considered. There will of course always be pockets of exceptions, but on a relative basis the prior comment is correct. Getting married is less common

My wife too. She’s a jewelery buyer for national retailer, she was well aware, even has visited mines and seen the conditions first hand, admitted how good lab grown was for ethics, etc. yet- her inner 5 year old princess wedding dream won

Same, kills the fun. It’s actually made it harder to get started on anything because I know the starting point and most of the work is just prompts which I don’t find fun at all. Handcrafting feels more tedious knowing that prompts could do

My wife is in the retail side of this market and I’ve had a lot of second hand familiarity with the transition to lab grown. What I find most interesting is the weight put on the ethical side. I think it’s overstated. When the issue became

Except you’re a wage slave and your American Nightmare comes with a mortgage, your sizable interest payments are likely funding the retirement income of a boomer too (along with bankers too, they always get a cut)

Interesting take. My son is in this summer right now. He can’t tie his shoes yet but can whistle pretty well. My passing theory on shoes, as opposed to my 80s experience, is twofold. First, the end of unstructured/unsupervised play out

If I recall, the low effort way to do it in the past was to bring in another CSS framework eg. bootstrap, bulma, foundation, etc. So it seems, tailwind has brought it all together along with the improvements that were mentioned

I have a similar effect on consultant. It’s usually more on the “this isn’t that complicated guys”. I’ll riff off a high level list of things that need to be done, tell them I could do it in a day/week/month and then tell them I w

They're underemployed, but employed. So unemployment remains rosy.

I'm not making blind assumptions. I've studies unemployment statistics and aware of how they exclude things and can lag and generally are kind of rig the calculation. I'm just here making a passing comment, so I'm not go

Unemployment is a loaded statistic anyway. I'm going to assume that they are working but just not in a 'career' job. They're likely working in a restaurant or in retail which is technically employed. My qualitative view

I think one can possess decent reading comprehension skills while also be deficient in their reading aloud skill. Beyond classroom requirements, reading aloud is not a typical activity many people engage in even if reading silently is.

I feel like use case and audience matters when making these decisions. In this case, the user is probably someone interacting with a python script they're running in a console (I assume by print), then I really don't think it matt

All I can say is people's perspectives can change, especially after the unthinkable happens. I somewhat get the individual spirit. Some of this was clearly fueled by the uber Conservative mindset of the area. If Trump offered them the
