That was an explanation of my own views (these days), not a statement about economics.

Interesting. Here it's been pretty much the daily 10-minute storm and not much more. Those numbers you linked would lead me to believe we're trending around last year.

This is how I view it these days as well. I'm fine with running a deficit as long as we're solving real problems at a mix of time horizons. Using public funds to funnel more money to the ultra wealthy is the issue for me as a citi

Yes, that is correct for median wages within a time range.

Since wages have not kept up with inflation, it’s already factored in as inflation drives the total debt faster. Total debt rising without a corresponding rise in wages means an increase in interest and defaults in general.

Has seemed pretty normal here in central Florida as far as rain goes.

Looking for some references on these claims, thanks! What you're saying registers as "makes some sense, but where's the evidence?" to me. I'm not seeing the connection where total lbs of fat is inherently worse than

Not sure I follow the logic here, but happy to be proven wrong if I'm misunderstanding. It's not intuitive to me that a 300 lb. person at 20% body fat is generally at the same risk as a 200 lb. person at 30% body fat.

Alzheimer's disease is not a reduction in intelligence, don't be crass.

People who eat well below their maintenance calories tend to have lower energy levels. That's the most likely explanation.

This was my thought as well. That round watch gif that shows rectangular widgets is painful to look at.

Retirement generally implying “not working” is the disconnect here. For example, a person in poverty who quits their salaried job at 62 and has to go work at Walmart to keep up would be retired for some folks, not for others. Same differenc

Personally I don’t want a world where the government regulates and decides who is allowed to sell phone apps based on safety regulations. That system makes sense for gasoline though. I do want to be able to install phone apps freely though.

Truesight is a spell in D&D that allows you to see the true being behind an illusion or other deception.

There’s solid humor in here, being that he once married Carrie Fisher - the sex symbol for a generation of nerds.

I’d venture that attractiveness does change after a haircut, with the degree of change being subjective. Does anyone truly think your hairstyle and length is not tied to your appearance?

I spent an entire summer playing Warcraft 2 on Kali (before the Battle.net edition). What a memory and you are the first person to mention Kali in all the years since!

I really enjoy the somewhat sarcastic retort. Those who can’t teach: don’t.

> There is but one human race. That’s also subjective. It’s taxonomically a subspecies. I find it best to keep that discussion simple rather than argue the pseudoscience argument.

Electric kettles have done this for decades. The tech is also in sous vide machines.

A fun quip, but p(nuclear annihilation) is always less than 1 unless it actually happens, so we’re only one day closer to potential annihilation.

I assume it's a part of the "live to work" mindset, popular among folks who don't really buy into work-life balance as an idea worth pursuing. Not my mindset but I can imagine it and have certainly met folks who exude it

You're conflating three different eras. There was an era where backlot filming was the norm ("classic" movies before roughly the 70s), an era where on location was expected by audiences (pre-CGI), and the modern one we expect

There’s no need to put down others to raise up OP. We can praise merit in one pursuit without acting like we are objectively better than others for it. How folks choose to spend their time is a fundamental part of personal freedom.

AFAIK the profitable quarters your link refers to were after they made all the hardware changes that rolled back the decisions we’re talking about. Wikipedia has many source about it from the main article and highlights the one you linked.

The great irony of seeing ads in an article about how there is some arbitrary line between “you tracked me for no cost” and “I paid tens of thousands of dollars for this car” when it comes to where ads are no longer acceptable.
