Exactly what I was going to reference. An Aussie with a $1M home, and a $500k mortgage will have $500k in "wealth." But if that wealth is tied to their home, and all other homes cost the same or more, what good does that do them?

In the off-road motorcycle industry there are these tubes called mousse bibs. I run them on all my bikes. They do replace the inner tubes, not the tires themselves. But they work great and are the best anti-flat solution out there. They sou

Personally, the wallet, health tracking, and music w/o phone is enough to justify the purchase for me. Actually, jogging / exercising without my phone is enough to justify the cost.

I was commenting on the insurance part, not the drunk driving. But we don't even have to go that far, we require licenses to drive, and if you aren't fit to drive, you can be denied that privilege outright.

Driving is just as vital to survival as having a job in most of the US.

Most video games are created to be addictive. On the extreme end, you got the Civ series. It's been around for 30 years now. There is literally a joke website called Civ Anonymous. "One More Turn" FPS games like CS really fee

I don’t see how those articles are an example of what you’re stating. The 3rd article you posted specifically points out the Democrat’s reversal in their stance from a year ago. Now, if they pretended the democrats were always skeptical of

Everything you listed works with price caps because they are effective monopolies. Usually a single entity in an area is responsible for providing that service and its profits are heavily regulated. Housing is completely different for many

This is the problem with misinformation nowadays. Everything is "backed by studies." The problem is, the same study can be interpreted to support two opposing views. Hell, I'm sure if this Saladino guy just completely made up

That’s still not the same as debugging within your IDE. Having to switch from the browser back to your IDE to find the files to make changes is just another context switch that slows you down. Plus, dealing with async loaded files can be a

Yeah the idea that I have to remember everything in our codebase of millions of LoC made up of TS, JS, Ruby, Kotlin, and Java is ridiculous. IDEs allow me to drop into these codebases and be decently productive from the get go.
