I'm confused as to whether you're describing urban living or suburban living. Both have everything mentioned, the latter without being stacked on top of your neighbors.

Got links for US ones based on net assets? Would definitely clear up the situation one way or the other.

I have plenty of savings, but about $300 in my savings account, the rest spread across checking and other accounts. I'd be counted amongst the "poor" in this poll due to that. Is there more data somewhere? The poll is often t

Some of the people with a reflexive "probably don't do it" response _have_ done what you are saying. They've assessed and learned. They've gone with microservices, and they've watched it go poorly. In short, pe

This article doesn't really have any facts, it's just asking a question into the void. I doubt people staying home is going to lead to _more_ fitness, but I have as much data to back it up as the article.

There's quite a bit of just-in-time delivery for grocers. Years ago when I worked at a large supermarket, we only kept stock of items that would reasonably need restocked within the next day or so. Things like yogurt, milk, eggs, soda

I've run into this situation at home when setting up some new networking equipment with much more configurability than I'm used to. My system had no DNS, alerting me to the issue, and I fixed it. I don't need nor want my syst

FWIW, this solution isn't as easy to implement as you'd think. I've seen unsubscribe pages harvested for email addresses when they show the full address and used urls/tokens that weren't sufficiently secure. In the

I'll bite, can you expand just a smidge on "safer car racing"? I'm trying to figure out how 5G enables that and failing.

They introduced these at the grocery store my wife and I frequent. We used them just once. As long as the lines aren't long, it seems just as quick to have the 2 checkout people (1 cashier, 1 bagger) do the work in a batch at the end,

Not so sure that helps in this situation. FreeNAS users are reporting these drives failing to resilver, which _could mean_ that you end up with a failed array and data loss instead of a failed drive. I'll personally be staying away fro

The most convincing argument I've heard is centered around just how much cash flow and expenses goes through the airlines on a daily basis, meaning they'd need some extraordinary amount of cash in the bank to weather something unp

I'm not so sure it's so black and white. Isn't this exactly the kind of situation that these banks would use as leverage to get themselves a better deal, especially as interest rate they can charge was a specific complaint? &

You'll have to look up your state taxes, they can make up a fairly large amount of the total cost of gas as the price goes down.

I went there too, trip of a lifetime. Of course, the disaster tourism angle makes it hard to get too excited, especially if you've spent time in Ukraine and spoken with the people affected. Either way, the pictures do not do justice to

Miata is Always The Answer doesn't really nest well. You get a Miata, you turn it into a track/race car... Now you need a truck to tow it, can't really load a Miata onto a Miata, unfortunately.

I needed some wood from HD and tried to rent a truck, it was a nightmare. At least at my local HD, they don't allow you to reserve. They only have 2 trucks, both of which are constantly busy. They won't even hold it while you grab

As a car guy, I increasingly view BMW as I view Maserati - A car that is leased by people that want to display a certain level of wealth. BMW's decreasing reliability reputation backs up that thinking, along with the changes you mentio

Both lack of regulation as well as weather, road condition, and road layout. Most of the Phoenix metro area is a grid, fairly modern as streets are constantly redone as we've grown so new-ish signs that are largely unobstructed by tree

I have no experience with it directly, but Robinhood is also widely regarded (in at least some circles) as having very poor execution. Meaning you're potentially not getting orders filled, or getting them filled at a sub-optimal price.

If that's the case, why do Pattern Day Trader rules exist? They seem to generally cover "protecting you from yourself", not from some third-party.

Right, but you 100% _do not_ need to spend that much on a car.

When I was in college, I needed a car to get to work (server at a restaurant), and to school. I spent $1600 on a 10 year old Volvo. For two years I did a fairly brutal commute between home/work/school, and drove for close to 3 hou

But how do you go about shorting these coins? There's not an obvious way to short them, like traditional stocks.

No one issuing these clarifications seems to also impart that those are only NSW numbers. Do we know what the totals are across the entire country?

To me, the scariest part of the article is the last image showing the Tesla screen: "Schedule an appointment on your Tesla Mobile App". No ability to take it somewhere else, no ability to diagnose and attempt a fix yourself, you j

Another take, with no more or less evidence as far as I can tell: He essentially had no choice, as it was obvious he was going to be railroaded at any trial, and would likely be bounced to the US at some point.

With all the regulation around cars and driving already, I'd love to see regulation around controls. It makes 0 sense to me to ban cell phones because they are distracting, but then allow giant touch screens in the car with no analog d

I haven't straight up broken any connectors, but my Pixel 3's USB-C port is super picky about what cables will fit well enough to actually charge. I end up plugging it in, flipping the cable around, trying again, moving the phone

I tried buying into this, got burned. Dell XPS Dev Edition, top of the line Dell Thunderbolt Dock, should work great, I thought. Nothing but trouble, tons of complaints online, Dell refused a refund as it's "not defective" -
