This isn't some final strain so let's all hurry up and get it. The more people that get any variant increases the likelihood of new variants and we don't get to pick what they do. We need to stop thinking about this as a pand

We are only at a point of no returns in terms of continuing as-is. We won't need to dump anything into the atmosphere, the Earth will clean itself given time and opportunity. I think the mostly like outcome is that in the next 100 year

Gift cards are about signaling. People are very brand loyal. Cash isn't brand loyal despite its flexibility. Cash and a card to say "buy books" feels less personal than a B&N card for some reason. There is the other par

Well, it is kind of a hash of their name, no?

Good points. Like you said, kids drink underage and kids smoke underage. People buy heroin, etc. even though it is illegal. We'd be better off making these things legal for those 18+, tax them and use that to fund addiction recovery (w

I actually have moved since I saw them all time. I'm not far away but not on their flight path anymore. :(

It is the same old thing, they became successful doing X and that works great until X isn't the optimal thing. However, after 50 years doing the same thing, they are a one trick pony. Also, the A-10 is one heck of a plane and always my

Of course, but the US fee-for-service model is aligned elsewhere. I think a lot of them think that as long as they are not prescribing a z-pack every month, it won't be that big of a deal. Also, customer acquisition is hard. Patients w

Exactly, I've never spent more than 5 hours on a previous company doing this. However, it allows me to not burn bridges and one of the reasons it never goes beyond 5 hours is that this approach doesn't lead to a situation where I

I've done a similar thing with a few past employers after I've moved on. "Hey, can you explain this code to the new person?". In some cases, I'd be glad to do a 1 hour call or whatever. They frequently ask me to sub

#1 is important since you can't generally opt out of the change but I think it is largely #3 which speaks to the rate of the change. Everyone has to justify their existence. Everyone has to justify their bonus. The C suite has to pre

The government does nothing for several reasons. 1) People prefer Walmart and Amazon to driving down town to some mom and pop store. 2) Walmart and Amazon do provide jobs (the quality is questionable) and the government needs its citizens t

Right, but you answered your own question. Sure you can lend other people crypto so they can gamble with it. It is all a pump and dump scheme. People aren't borrowing crypto on DeFi to buy a car or house. Crypto isn't practical mo

Yeah, I think the best thing for this situation is to pay someone to stop by for an hour a day. Probably around breakfast time or lunch. They can make sure they are eating and taking their pills. They can be someone to talk to and something

What is a last will and testament if not that? You dying doesn't give anyone else the right to just claim ownership of your house the second you die. Also, most burial plots include essentially a lease for maintenance. It is probably t

It is a shame that someone turned a health crisis into a political issue.

Mask effectiveness is to help prevent you spreading things. When you exhale, water droplets are still quite large and some will get caught on the fibers in even a t-shirt mask. After that has dissipated in the air, it will be smaller and

You have to increase the yearly renewal even more (imo). $120/year is only $10 a month. That is two coffees at Starbucks. If that is too expensive for your legitimate non-commercial purpose, then you probably don't really need a d

Yeah, I think the criss-cross hug is best. I think they are missing some things though for the best hugs. The feet should be alternated the same way you would when slow dancing and that is how close you should be. This allows for a tighter

I think you are missing the risk. The supplier could raise prices but there comes a point when demand slows and now the retailer is stuck with inventory. If every one else is selling below MSRP and you are selling for double, you won't

The key is to do a dry brine with just salt at least over night. Rinse and dry afterwards. Keep foil over the breasts except for a short period of time to brown the skin. People also tend to cook it until it is dead. Use a thermometer but r

It is a difficult subject. A store security camera that cycles every weeks is no big deal. But what if there are cameras on every street corner run by the government and saved for 5 years? What about Ring footage of your neighborhood/b

I don't understand "new cities are not built anymore". Villages become towns and towns become cities all over the place. There isn't likely to be new planned cities in the middle of nowhere. Cities need infrastructure li

Exactly, click bait nonsense. The thing is that before companies could claim "work won't get done if you aren't in the office". Now that that has been proven false, the are grudgingly trying to keep their employees. Remo

If you are close to a bigger store, then you have a choice. In lots of the US, the closest grocery and department store could be quite a ways away. They are growing like crazy in these areas. I agree that they are becoming a mix of a grocer

Exactly right. Just like the US should get rid of all coins < $0.25.
