It is, but I typically only carry two - the 3% back and the grocery 6% back as the others are mainly online or automated. > I carry exactly one debet card in my wallet (.eu) and use it for everything Not sure about eu but in the US that&

Fair points. > The 3% is good, but you have to pay $5 a month, so equivalent $60 annual fee. It's $50 a year, which isn't nothing, but more than pays for itself with either the 3% IRA match or 1k free margin. Understandably, n

One can do better. As just a one card catchall, Robinhood does 3% on everything. I'm one of those crazy maximizers with a drawer full of cards, and most purchases earn 5% or 6%.

In raw numbers of ownership, sure. But make no mistake, during the housing boom post 2019, in a lot of 'hot' metro areas, "wall street" was buying way more homes than individuals. Especially in the south. In the area

Volume and HVAC physical buttons are an absolute must for me. I was given a rental once from a dealership who was doing warranty work on my truck. It was one of those weird months in the midwest, where the temperature could be 80 or 30 dep

I think you underestimate how insular the US is, because of its size, location, and historical strength. Without trying to sound rude, I don't imagine most Americans care at all what the rest of the world thinks of the country.

I agree completely with this. However, houses and things inside it were designed by humans for humans, for either aesthetic or 'easy for humans to do' reasons. I sometimes wonder then what if they were designed from the ground up

.US is a bit of an oddball, at least compared to gtlds. The US DoC puts rather strict requirements on the registry under contract, including this but also spot checks that owners are US citizens, and makes it the responsibility of the regi

Used to work for a registry. Registries do not just arbitrarily serverHold things they don't like. Even in blatant abuse cases, they'll reach out to the registrar to clientHold it or delete it instead. I suspect this came from a

America is a huge place. You can't sample some professional city full of helicopter parents. More nights than not, I have random neighborhood kids playing in my yard and eating dinner with us. Their parents don't seem to care, a

> Do not UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES have a child if you're just looking for 'legacy' Agreed with that. I couldn't even tell you the names of any of my great grandparents, much less anything above.

I'm torn here because you're both right, kinda, from my viewpoint. And that is you should do a thing, whether getting married, having kids, etc. as soon as you're sure you want that. You shouldn't rush it thinking of ye

Literally almost everything, up to and including entire houses. I've lived in two Sears houses, great quality stuff if not a bit small by modern tastes. When I was a kid it was normal for parents to let their kids read the huge yearly

For reference, in the US at least, there was/is a company called Joes Data Center in KC who would colo a 1U for $30 or $40 a month. I'd used them for years before not needing it anymore, so not some fly by night company(despite t

Yup. But the same can happen in shared hosting/colo/aws just as easily if only one person controls the keys to the kingdom. I know of at least a handful of open source projects that had to essentially start over because the lead

Oh it could be much, much worse. I can only imagine the harebrained ideas that would be popular. No more taxes of any kind. Free beer and cigarettes. Monthly checks of, I don't know, $10k a person. At some point you need adults in

In the case I remember (see other comment), marked 2 days after it was actually picked up. I always put mail out at night, so next morning + 2. That was just one I happened to catch because it arrived late, for all I know it happens with e

> Why would something picked up from you box not be considered within the postal system's control? Does your box not get picked up from daily? It does. I live on a rural route and as far as I can tell it doesn't get postmarked

by silisili 10mo ago
Howso? As far as I could tell, this doesn't actually change anything at all, but more codifies what's already happening. I've had mail collected from my box that wasn't marked until two days later, this feels like it&#x

Not OP but I also use ControlD. I admittedly like NextDNS interface better, but honestly, I rarely need to login anyways. So why ControlD? Because I don't want to run my own piHole, basically. They maintain ad block lists that you ca

I often read reviews of places and things I'm even tangentially interested in. As a user, there's little more unprofessional to me than a company replying to negative reviews with anything but an apology, or offer to help or do b

I'm always baffled by this. The only exposure I have to video ads at all anymore are the 3 or so football games I might watch per year OTA. Each time, I'm always absolutely blown away by both the amount of and content of the ads

I had no idea this existed, that's pretty damning. The question - is Musk lying on purpose, or is this more 90-90 rule where he made (obviously wrong) assumptions based on current progress?

Geographically, so is Russia. Perhaps I should have said the EU, of which Ukraine is not a member.

This all just feels like typical sabre rattling to me. Except this time, the US is also rattling it at basically everyone, and Russia may take that as a good sign. Make no mistake, Russia does not have the ability to fight a world war with

Oddly enough, the Kentucky side of Cincinnati is nicer than the OH side, at least near the river. It's worth checking out, but I found downtown Cinci weird. It was completely lifeless at night. Haven't been in 15 years or so, so

But that's basically what we do. We learn about Lincoln, Jefferson, Franklin, Washington, MLK, etc for what good they did. Then someone eventually figures out they did or said some wrongthink by today's standards and tell us thos

One thing I've learned in this near half century on this Earth... People always think the economy is tanking. I've heard "not in this economy" as an excuse every single year of my adult life. In retrospect, even in the
