Why talk about cities' "accessibility zones" in area and not population? Sure, America has 1,160 accessible km²s vs Europe's 430, but that area is far less dense. The average population density of the US is just 94 peopl

That’s not quite right is it? HEAD is simply a pointer to whatever commit is currently on disk. HEAD can point to a commit that is the end of a branch (typical state, HEAD is “attached”), but it can also point to one that isn’t (HEAD is “

To elaborate: this would be a fine policy IFF it were accompanied by other legislation that meaningfully improved the affordability of non-ADU homes as well.

The idea is degrading. A generation of people for which the only feasible path to home ownership is living in a mobile/kit home in someone else’s backyard.

Have you tried shopping for a car in the last 3 years? Because if you had I’d expect you wouldn’t be making this statement. In my area many used models are MORE expensive than new ones due to onerous wait times and dealer shenanigans.

Median personal income in the US is $40,480 as of 2022 [1]. That puts the Civic at 57%. Moreover, Dodge was a mid-level marque in 1950. The proper comparison would be the Plymouth Deluxe, Chrysler’s entry-level full-size car, which had an b

This comment misses the point of the article. I.e., the monotony once required in hand-washing clothes (say by a housewife) has not been converted into free time, but rather converted into a different form of monotony (parents earning dual

What’s unusual is the volume of contracts purchased, not the contracts in and of themselves… without knowledge of a merger, these contracts had a 99.9% chance of expiring worthless the very next day, so buying $20k worth is rather suspiciou

I can’t speak to OP’s claim about former smokers. However as a younger person who knows many younger never-smoker vape users, I can attest that they all consume vastly more nicotine than would ever be practical with cigarettes. Vape pods ar

Well there you go, add chicken and tortillas to the mix and your budget doubles just for dinner. People generally enjoy eating more than just the bare-bones, most minimal staples.

Dodging the question… provide me one example of a nutritious set of sandwich ingredients that can be procured at a cost of 43¢ per serving (assuming you spend a generous third of your $1.30 a day budget on just a sandwich). Bread alone woul

Nothing is objectively “bad” about that, but it is an insane stretch to call that “great food.” That is subsistence eating. Moreover—can you put beans, rice, eggs, and mixed veggies in a sandwich? Because a sandwich was one of OP’s “$40&#x2

I’m a bit confused then… what exactly do you propose the average American should put in their sandwiches—your suggestion—at a $40/mo budget? Eggs and lentils?

by ryeights 3y ago
You must be incredibly out of touch if you think $40 a month is a reasonable budget for “great food.” 2 weeks worth of ham and cheese sandwiches alone would eat up the majority of that figure.

Correlation attacks only work when you can see both ends of the traffic. When you visit an .onion address, there is no other “end”—all traffic stays within the Tor network and goes directly to the hidden service server, which is ‘just’ anot

I don’t think that’s how perfect pitch works, it might be more accurately described as tone memory. For example I’ve “memorized” the sound of standard C=262Hz and can work to other notes from there. But I imagine if C=259Hz instead it would
