I'm clearly not bothered by the ability to not delete it. Someone commented about American's budgeting habits. I responded. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/04/29/its-ok-to-not-follow-a-budge... 73% of A

I'm American. Most of my friends/family don't even pretend to budget. Looking at reports of the debt loads of Americans, it's pretty clear that we overspend. So if we do budget, we don't follow it.

That's pretty good ballpark. His electricity rate matters too, but I'm about $100-120/mo and average just under 2k miles.

You’re right. You should have a helicopter fueled up and ready to go. Seeing your mom quicker in case this scenario presents itself is the driving motivation for your vehicle type. /s

It’s not for everyone. If you can charge at home with average electric rates and you’re not regularly traveling more than 5 hours at a time then it’s probably a good option. If you travel more frequently, get a Tesla. If it’s still not f

That's a weird take. What about life in California do you think is so different?

Many people can't fit a Smart car in their garage. I can't think of a single person I know that parks a truck in their garage.

You're defining what the word truck means.

It sounds like you've just made the case that today's society is significantly better off than previous ones.

I feel like you’ve just refuted gp’s point about houses haven’t gotten any more expensive. People get mortgages, not buy houses. So while they are technically correct, it’s not a worthwhile distinction.

My roaming range on my bike was about 5 miles in any direction. All of those places cost money. I'm not sure what kind of childhood you had, but I didn't have a job at 14, and those are places I rarely went. What you seem to be

The warm hug my daughter greets me with in the morning, the giggles of my kids playing together in the afternoon, or the beaming smiles they wear as I toss them into piles of pillows at night are just the beginning. There are new stressful

If they don't have enough evidence it's hard to say that have substantial reasons. It sounds like they have a hunch.

Just looking at his posts on TS today, it ranges from 200 to 1,000 comments. The comments are almost entirely memes that could easily be bots, many are not even friendly to Trump. These numbers sound neither impressive, nor worth losing a

100% true, it doesn't mean 10% have lead in their pipes. The question is much better phrased, are your lead pipes safe or not, and for how long? So if you're in that 10%, that seems like a pretty reasonable precaution to seek ou

Eliminating bottled water completely won't provide any water to the people that don't have it. It's an appeal to emotion.

The EPA estimates lead pipes serviced 9.2 million homes with water in 2021. That's closer to 10% of the country. https://www.edf.org/health/lead-pipes-threat-kids-across-ame... .

To be honest, that's what I read the headline as meaning.

It'd be cheaper to add nothing, or water, than lead.

Our org had an employee that never missed a day for 10 years or so, then an accident put her in the hospital. The fraud going on was immediately obvious to the person that covered her and they arrested her before she got released.

I've yet to see a job where hiring a new employee is more efficient than letting one have off 3 weeks instead of 2. There is a really good chance that a new employee wouldn't be working yet before they've returned.

There is a place to do that on your state income taxes at the end of the year. I'm not sure how no one at the state tax office would not know that, they have an easy to understand website. Alternatively, you can report it directly to

I had no thoughts of a young bride. I'm thinking of a woman that'll get married, then raise some kids for a decade and end up in her mid 40s divorced and have been out of the workforce for a decade. I think you're projectin

That's a great theory, but it often doesn't work out that way. She's likely to settle for less half just to get out of the marriage. She likely doesn't have a good way to get her own future earnings. Even if it goes to
