   The “one income household” model of the 50s worked for two reasons. 1) the rest of the world was in ruins, so for 50s-60s US was sole industrial power more or less. 2) artificial labor “scarcity” where POC and women were banned from many oc

   I can’t remember, but didn’t it require the Android Google One app to do VPN on Chromebooks? I remember it being hard to setup, but perhaps I’m misremembering my journey through dodgy VPN clients.

    I was in DC for the 2011 earthquake. We don’t get them here. When it was happening I had assumed a plane or something had hit the building. If you are manhatten, I suspect the tremor is probably not dissimilar to the vibrations felt when t
