>The OP above you is guaranteed to have had their food spat in or otherwise tortured as punishment for not tipping. Wait, what??? Do you honestly believe the worker pours a cup of coffee in a to-go cup, hands it to me, checks the receip

Same here. We have really cut down on the amount of "out for lunch/dinner" activities we plan. One reason is the tip situation; the other is because we can cook as well at home than out of the house. In the past (80s), goi

>If you say “I didn’t tip because the service was what I expected”, you’re pretty much considered an asshole Sorry, this is definitely not the case. Many times the worker is doing exactly what is needed and nothing more (eg: pour a beer

I started using Claude code (CC) a couple weeks back and have some very positive outcomes. For clarity, I have been in the IT field since 1990, and my background is mainly infrastructure engineering (now DevOps). I don't write code p

I have been using Claude to iterate through some complex Powershell code to convert Azure VMs from Intel to AMD SKUs, and I simply can't believe how good it is. I am definitely NOT an Azure or Powershell expert by any means, but the p

Just started using Claude (very late to the game), and I am truly blown away. Instead of struggling for hours trying to get the right syntax for a Powershell script or to convert Python to Go, I simply ask Claude to make it happen. This h

Interesting read, but I find it very lacking. PGSQL memory consists of lots of parts; shared_buffers, work_mem, maintenance_work_men, OS Cache size, etc. For those who are interested in a deeper Postgresql tuning tutorial, I suggest this[

Sorry, nothing prevents the poor from working smarter. Just because you are poor does not mean you are uneducated. And, investment opportunities are NOT gated based on wealth and income. Literally anyone in the US can open an investment

Right, because the average worker has insider connections that set policies that affect the economy. /s

Please, this thread is about the average wage-grade worker (money earned via the "sweat of one's brow"), not an "accredited investor". In this example, almost anyone in the US can open up a Robin Hood, Vanguard, Sc

Thanks, I should have been more clear.

With $50B in the endowment, how are they financially vulnerable? Honest question.

by rtp4me 1y ago
Because investment income is not the same as wage income. Nor should they be.

Interesting. How will (physically) AI install a new HVAC system? There must be some form of physical presence to get the job done. And, the current set of installers have a difficult time as it is (running duct work, low/high PSI li

The purpose of government is to generate opportunity for the masses so they can become self sustainable. A better quote for you: "Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country" (JFK).

Thanks for this. Young people think UBI is great since they don't have much invested in the system. Instead they just have propaganda from media/social sites telling them how the world is falling apart, how they don't have

How about get educated/trained in something AI can't eat? Become a HVAC technician, Nurse/Doctor, lawn care maintenance owner, teacher, industrial shop owner, etc. There are plenty of fields that don't require AI to co

Especially if you hit the RMD threshold in retirement. Even more important is how RMDs affect Medicare premiums(1). The best advice I have is to avoid RMDs as much as possible since they can/will affect other parts of your retirement

On the bright side, this may be a good opportunity to convert 401(K) or IRA funds into a ROTH account.

by rtp4me 2y ago
Thanks for this. To me, this makes more sense than some random "tariffs are bad" messaging on social media. Do you have a link to the video you mentioned above? I would like to learn more. As an aside, for those who have 401(K)

And honestly, you should have been downvoted for calling them "low-information" voters. Not only is it condescending, you simply discounted them for being part of the "other" party. Perhaps they are very informed - maybe

I don't know - the article specifically said Honda will produce the cars "to avoid potential tariffs". I don't think the Trump tariffs were in place "years ago"...

Yes, and I think this is the core motivation behind the Trump messaging - bring it back to the US if possible. In fact, he wants to bring back commercial and maritime ship building back[1]. Pretty cool! Hopefully this will employ lots of

Agreed 100%. No way should any American soldier be sent to fight in that war. It will be a never ending quagmire - both people and money. Full stop. <rant> And, good luck getting any real discussion from anyone here. Most of the R

According to the article, “the administration maintains they have not fired positions essential to public safety”. I guess it depends on whose viewpoint is used to determine public safety.
