In France at the Monoprix chain, I'm randomly audited about once a month. Which is doubly annoying, because I'm in that line to save time, and now I have to hunt down one of the employees who isn't paying attention or where t

I used Meebo for a bit, but Trillian was my main cross-service chat app. Interestingly, they're still going, although apparently now as a Slack competitor.

I've moved from NextDNS to ControlD. NextDNS seems like it's been abandoned--good luck getting any level of support--and I've been really happy with the feature set of ControlD.

Not quite. If I understand correctly from your links, the person selling the property then pays to continue living there. In the system I described, the person buying the property pays the seller an ongoing fee, and the seller continues to

One thing jumped out: many of the states with high rates of "always" lonely, also have high rates of "never" lonely. Many of these states are in the Sun Belt. The article ties those always rates to poverty, these are als

In France, there's also what's called en viager. In this system, a buyer buys real estate and then pays the seller a rent for the rest of that person's life, typically while the person continues to occupy the real estate. The

The Bible is a mixture of history, poetry, wisdom literature, and much more. There's a really fascinating study Bible (ESV Archaeology Study Bible) that does a fantastic job of putting everything into its historical, sociopolitical, an

I saw elsewhere that someone said it was ablist to say that an audiobook doesn't count as a book, which I could only think that we put too much importance on books. Don't take this as an anti-intellectual screed. Far from it--I re

It's a bill that's been introduced. The DFL (essentially, the Democrats) have a majority of the Minnesota Senate. This isn't going to pass, and is for attention seeking only. Yes, it's still stupid.

Tangentially related, but still worth checking out: the book "Gang Leader for a Day" [0] touches on this topic of how the university interacts (or doesn't) with its poorer neighbors. Highly recommend the read. 0: https:&#x2F

I've used Google Voice as my primary number since 2010, and started using it before Google even owned it (i.e., when it was Grandcentral). Development seems to have (relatively) picked up recently. There was a period of about five year

You might be surprised. The population of Minneapolis grew 12.4% in the 2010s. That's higher than NYC has grown in any decade since the 30s and higher than Houston, Dallas, and Phoenix. It's no Austin or Orlando, but… Though, in f

That's interesting. At every gym I've been to, you either bring your own lock or they have locks where you can set a temporary code.

I've never been to a gym where you're assigned a locker for the day (or given a key). Either you have one permanently assigned (rare) or you go in and find one that isn't occupied.
