A news organization like The NY Times is absolutely expected to verify its facts before reporting. This isn’t a random blog or buzz feed. At least that used to be the standard. At this point they’re just like everyone else, after clicks no

Here’s a map of 99 cent pizza places: https://www.seriouseats.com/where-to-get-99-cent-slices-2-br... I believe all McDonald’s have 99 cent coffee but I’m not sure.

I moved abroad several years ago and basically gave up on purchasing books. Unless the author sells an epub version I usually pirate them now. It got so frustrating finding out a book wasn’t available in my part of the world once I tried to

I’ve opened dozens of companies (ok about a dozen) in the US. I can’t speak for every state, but in Florida and Wyoming it’s really simple. Can be done online and you absolutely do not need a lawyer, not at the beginning and not years later

There are still plenty of $1 slices in NYC. Same with $1 coffee and inexpensive bagels.

I don’t think the government intentionally skews numbers. The phone in your pocket, your laptop, your car have all gone up in quality/safety/speed but that also isn’t counted.

Book stores. I’ve met people there. Pretty easy to ask what someone is reading or which author they love. Concerts could be another one. Btw these are all places where I’ve met girls, but it’s probably just as easy to make friends there.

That’s tricky. When I look at most of my recent friends, they’re almost always work friends or friends of a friend/spouse etc. Starting from scratch must be hard. I don’t know if bars are the only solution. Gym friends, maybe trying to

I think it’s probably much more effective to stop eating meat. Land is cleared for cattle at an alarming rate and is the main reason for the shrinking size of the Amazon.

Aren’t in ear headphones with noise cancellation better than not using them and instead raising the volume to overcome background noise?

QQQ went like 17 years from its 2001 high till it made it back to the same price. S&P is probably less stressful for the type of investor you are talking about.

I never wanted kids and then in my late 30s (currently 51M) I really started feeling deeply that something was missing in my life. I had close friends, made good money, had a lot of freedom, and yet still suddenly felt a deep desire and alm

There are pretty clear benefits to some advertising. Email, YouTube, calendar, maps are all incredibly useful services we are lucky to have. There needs to be a line or safeguard as well as an option to pay a reasonable price for these free

11,9,5 year olds. The 11 year old is addicted to his phone/switch. But he constantly plays with friends so when we block it he ends up being somewhat isolated. Seems like a can’t win situation but he is also pretty active with sports a

I’m not convinced Americans pay less in taxes. When you include state taxes, social security from the employee and employer, then it starts to look like much less of a difference. When you include health insurance and college education, Ame

Another commenter posted that going through FDA trials could be ruinously expensive for the company, which made more sense to me than just looking for recurring revenue. Cavities are a ridiculously huge market without the recurring revenue

Money from ads provides a lot of free services. Email, TV, various websites, etc use ad money in part to pay for and provide content. Usually seems like a decent trade off. Not always but most of the time.

The argument that musk is a sociopath because his cars have had 17 fatalities on autopilot, despite that being less than human drivers, is ridiculous. That proves the exact opposite point - that musk cares about human life. Garbage article.
