It seems like they just act when their PR team feels worried.

It just blows my mind how, reliably, selfish people end up in positions of power. They then work the system to increase wealth or power as much as possible, everything else including the environment that we all live off of be damned, becaus

Thanks to the lobbying system, most laws and regulation in the US serve to protect and enrich moneyed interests beyond all else. If something is actually collectively beneficial to the wider populace, its a happy accident. Politics in the U

If companies need to exploit small businesses to compete, they shouldn't be in business in the first place. Boo hoo to all the stillborn future door dashes who wont be able to exploit local businesses.

It may hurt future competitors but the law is still good because it protects the reputation of local businesses. This is like complaining that its illegal to pollute the local river. Or those arguments from backwards nations that they shoul

Few people incur north of their 10k deductible in medical fees a year, but nearly everyone pays for something every year out of pocket.

If the goal is employment, a lot of the times an internship is becoming expected. This is easier to secure at a larger school, where recruiters visit to make face time on campus.

Kn95 and kf94 are readily available and cheap in Los Angeles. I cannot believe healthcare authorities would rather have workers use a month old n95 that degrades after 72hours of use than a kn95 that is readily available in the area and cos

It blows my mind that these supply issues are happening in CA of all places. Where I can go to Koreatown in LA and buy 10 kn95s for $10 from about a dozen stores.

I think there is something to be said about snappiness during basic tasks like web browsing. I had a 2012 macbook pro that had an ssd and memory upgrades, and functionally tooling around Mojave felt no different than a new computer; just as

That smell is typical with a gas range. You are supposed to run it with the vent hood on to prevent that.

Places like seol and tokyo probably have a much higher per capita mask usage rate. Ive seen bus drivers in Los Angeles with their masks around their chin. Even after LA times reported metro operators were dying.

For existing pedestrians, it would also mean a severe increase in quality of life for no additional cost of living. Everything is always a tradeoff in some way. I’m sure people with horses were hurting when stables started closing too. Its

Id say any american town over 15k people has a little spit of downtown or some other commercial corridor built before 1950s suburbanization that is in varying states of boom or bust. These corridors are all zoned to be perfectly walkable.

No need to overcomplicate it. These technologies can be overcome with a phone in your lap connected to a groupchat with everyone in the class, or even a piece of paper with your cheat sheet.

I TAed this semester and a surprising amount of students have totally terrible internet. One poor kid had to attempt the blackboard exam a dozen times due to connection issues. Even my home network gets saturated with everyone in the neighb

My uni had me TA this semester which included proctoring exams over zoom. They gave me zero info what I’m supposed to do or even look for while sitting there in the zoom room. I think I was just there to add some semblance of authority. Tot

The working class is the largest voting block their is. How do you keep them reliably voting against their own economic interests and maintain your position at the top of the economic ladder? Turn one half against the other and divide and c

The vegan cheeses I’ve sampled tend to fall into this uncanny valley of cheese flavor. Like yeah, its sorta like cheap bag cheese, cheese with more sweaty feet undertaste that I couldn’t not picture once I made the mental connection. Usual

I don’t know why people subscribe to arbitrary numbers on the internet vs just experimenting. If you want to lose weight, you eat less and burn more and that is it. Not losing enough weight? Don’t quit. Just run more and eat even less. Or r

What about it? I do it all the time. Faster than taking surface streets in a car during rush hour for sure.

It depends on your local bike culture I guess. In the US scooters go 15mph and bikes go like 12mph if you are in street clothes, ~20mph if you are in spandex.

These are hillarious when they do implement them in the US. People stop anyway to yield. If anything it makes it a little more dicey to bike through because people also don’t signal when they are exiting.
