The level of luxury people get acclimated to is pretty amazing. I'm trying to imagine the response I'd have received if as a child I had demanded ribeye regularly, or what my grandparents would have said if they heard it discussed

You've stated the point well: there are substitute beef products that haven't seen the same price increases. This is not the same as me general inflation, or nearly as concerning.

You live in a different part of the country than almost anyone else. The goods you buy, even in your area, can vary significantly. If you're trying to buy a gallon of milk, things aren't so different. A car, yeah that's gotte

The hybrid F-150 with an onboard generator and all electric F-150 are being positioned for people who need to do serious work, like arc welding, or for whom a mobile power plant is useful.

With your 1980's ford, you outsource all off the complexity to a local shop. You're enjoying 100+ years of investment in internal combustion engines. In the future, with wide-scale adoption of EV's, local shops will respond t

It always blows my mind when people breathlessly tell me why RCV is so clearly the answer, and they've never heard of Arrow's Impossibility Theorem.

In a reality where people have limited time and mental energy to properly rank order all candidates for all positions, the jungle (non-partisan) primary practiced in Louisiana and some other states is a wonderful alternative. The unfortunat

This is poor rereporting of good reporting: Cook did not "call Pelosi" - it's pretty clear that the call was arranged, and her staffers were able to listen in, and probably Cook's PR people too. In any case, the link sho

The filtering, testing requirements, and frankly unpleasantness involved in medicine (in the United States) not only drives the curve to the right, but also lops off a good portion of the left side of the curve of all of those who want to b

This is a well understood concept in medicine, and a central part of the drug approval process.

"Google Maps" is just a piece of software- following it blindly, especially in remote places is insane. ~15 years a ago, Google Maps gave me same insane route up a ridge of a mountain side. I took a double check and revised my rou

"liars in practice" is uncharitable at best. A headline has some maximum number of words, and there is only so much that can be conveyed. "Technically true" is strong standard to meet in under a sentence. Is this purpose
