At face value, maybe. But it's worth noting that this administration tried to stop the AT&T-Time Warner merger while suggesting that it would go through if Time Warner divested itself of CNN. I supported the action, but not the rea

>I am somewhat surprised nobody offers an abstracted savings account, that handles 401k, IRA, HSA, paying rent and bills, and access to credit. I think it'd be complicated to regulate from a risk perspective. Checking and savings ac

I honestly hadn't considered this use case for satellite radio. I used to do 5-6 hour drives through areas with crappy cell service and awful radio (only country, gospel or a sermon). Spotify _helped_ with its download feature so I cou

I personally am pretty into William Carlos Willams for a few reasons: - intense dedication to imagery - his poem Danse Russe, which to me us just about the silly things we do in privacy where no one is around - the fact he was a doctor and

I'll take "alive" over "laudable" any day of the week. I understand the desire to dig into intentions here but we're not losing if we invest less in coal.

That just made me realize that my personal habit of joking during prod incidents, while relieving to me, might not be to co-workers. Thanks for the perspective check.

Honestly if this latest attempt of moderation fails I don't see an option other than quitting. This period has held up decently well so far though.

wall o' text Alcohol kind of creeps up on you over time. I was in Greek Life in college. I don't regret a second of it, but the drinking culture was omnipresent (we did have dry brothers but if you drank you drank). After college

Runoff still exists. That fertilizer (and honestly most commercial fertilizers) will still enter the stream and other water via rain.

I've thought about this a bit. I don't think we'd get much public sympathy from a working conditions standpoint- generally if you're working for the right place you can arguably make more money than most of your non-engi

True, but Chell had no speaking lines (not hating on Valve, Gordon Freeman/basically all their 1st person protagonists are mute). We've seen Alyx as a developed character who's gone through some trauma (not spoiling here) so

This is true. The saddest part about this is a lot of new construction are luxury apartment buildings with 10/20 year property tax abatements. These apartments sell for millions. That's an insane tax revenue loss that literally go

2 things: 1) The fees surrounding condos/co-ops are _real_. Like I've heard upwards of 1k a month. 2) Have you considered North NJ?

Fed rates can't really get much lower, so I'm not sure how that'd work out...

Vaguely similar boat! Northern NJ though. I'm 24 and became single about 6 months ago. After this happened, I moved out of my family home to rent closer to work, which cut an hour off my commute. It's been a mixed bag financially
