I’m from that part of Florida, it’s is crazy hot and humid and far from the beaches (though quiet as ‘the nature coast’). Medical care is spotty outside of the “big” cities, and California is much more temperate.

If you can get by without a car where Uber makes sense, you likely didn’t need a car anyways nor drive it often enough to wash more than seasonally. You aren’t commuting daily in an Uber, nor driving kids to school and activities with all t

Interesting spin on article, it talks how we have had booming employment growth, but without pressure on wage growth — and it seems likely from higher than usual immigration. They frame it as helping curb inflation, but I thought the wage p

I would have assumed its from the rise of gig workers using private cars. Uber/Lyft need to keep cars pretty clean to not be dinged stars, and even package and food delivery can create more mess which may require cleaning (but mostly t

BTW the most common job in DC in 1996 was JANITORS! I have to wonder if that survey was taken during the government shutdown when even was furloughed??

Except for a brief spike as the Fed tried to coral the housing bubble, we’ve had CRAZY low rates for 20 years. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FEDFUNDS A big part of that was inflation was bottled up by basically ou

Our kids destroy all the nice furniture (dumb ways, like sitting on couch soaking wet from the pool, spilling food, drawing on the cushion while doing homework or a project, doing gymnastics off the cushions, fort building). They aren’t act

Agreed, self assembly is terrible but IKEA is generally the least terrible.

$750 for an IKEA desk is crazy money. Does it have hydraulics to raise and lower the desk? But depreciation on IKEA is huge because while it can last a long time within a household, it moves very poorly so if it has been moved or reassemble

My impression is that lots of developers are now much more motivated by money than tech passion (I entered the field in the Office Space era where programmers were considered nerdy accountants who love computers). Instead over the last 2 de

When my kids were applying to summer programs, they asked them what they do in their free time, and listing things like reading and practicing crocheting got a very unenthusiastic responses. The expectation is your kid will do a lot, maybe

Housing makes that very difficult. Throw in some kids (daycare, summer camps, sports and music enrichment if you want them to have a chance in dog eat dog world) and you need big $$$ to hit 50%. I mean 30% goes to taxes right away!

Have to appreciate the office space call back, when Peter dismantled his cubicle for a window view it was a victory. When anyone did it, it became a tragedy.

“ The BZ in bZ4X stands for “Beyond Zero” which represents the all-electric nature of the car, the 4 refers to the size (presumably there will be a bZ3 or a bZ5) and the X means that it is an SUV or crossover.” I don’t know, I like algorith

The car spends the day doing maintenance, I drop it off and they drop me off at home. I telework, then they pick me up and I get my car. I imagine the aggregate time spent on engine maintenance is no more than the aggregate extra charging t
