...what are you talking about? You don't just "have an extra $4,000 a month" if you pay off your house. You lose all the money that's currently earning you 4-6%. $4k/mon is probably a million dollar loan or so, righ

I did read it. Why do you think I said "saved you from having to read a wall of Reddit lottery porn"?

I'm not nitpicking the unimportant bits. Half the thread is telling people why they're fucked (No really. You are. You're fucked.), and then using incorrect statistics and a long anecdote to back up their claim. I am not maki

I can't parse this comment. Shifts in power? Lowers the monthly takings? What? If you expect to make 6-8% a year in the stock market and pay 2% in interest on a loan, you'd miss out on a lot of money paying it off. You're ess

That thread is really dumb. You can't just throw stuff out there like "You're 20x more likely to die of homicide!" and expect to be taken seriously. 1. The demographic that is likely to win lotteries might already be mor

Banning sugar and caffeine would be tough. For sugar, what do you actually ban? Added sugar? There's plenty of sugar in fruits, especially when you juice them. How do you enforce this? Seems like a nightmare to figure out. Caffeine is

Holy hell you're right. How did I not know that/forget that? Guess it shows how much smoking cigarettes has been reduced in society (or how out of touch I am...).

Voting, moving out, getting medical care, and marriage generally don't negatively impact your body and brain. Alcohol, weed, cigarettes, etc. all do some kind of damage to your body. If anything we should raise cigarettes to 21. And ye

I really dislike this take. Listen, it's fine if people enjoy nonlinear storytelling to make it an "experience" or a canvas with a few straight lines painted on it. But it is stupid, to follow your quote. If you're usi

Pros and cons. I'd imagine a lot more problems would occur if pipes were exposed to the elements, for example. And of course, the issue of where to put the pipes when they're above ground.

Are you talking about T-Mobile, or the companies that fraudsters actually go to with this information? You're not going to do much damage creating a T-Mobile account with my SSN. You will signing up for a credit card or resetting the p

The title is a bit misleading. > The calories that children and adolescents consumed from ultraprocessed foods jumped from 61% to 67% of total caloric intake from 1999 to 2018 So about a 10% increase in 20 years. Still troubling, of cour

You can. There's a "Mark as played" button in at least the Android Spotify app that I'm looking at right now. Can't comment on anything else, though.

The bay area campuses are not in danger from the fires, except for smoke. And there is otherwise not much money to be made in firefighting tech. That's about it.

Are there actually people succeeding in obstructing digitalization of stuff? That is, for reasons other than wanting to use a chunk of funding for something else.

The watch I have is rated to +-2 seconds a day. It'd take 15 months of not adjusting my watch to be 15min late. That's pretty amazing to me that basically a spring and some gears can be that good at keeping time.

I read "checking to see if it satisfies" as "proving", but I could be wrong.

Awesome stuff, thanks. Totally makes sense why we'd basically always want someone who has done the trip before. I wonder if that was actually the thought process?

It wasn't rushed under Biden, at least in the sense that it didn't skip any steps or ignore trial data (the whole vaccine process was as quick as possible under both Presidents, of course). There was a real worry that it would b

You lose all credibility when you bring up the Biden/Harris comments. At the time we were at the point where it was a real possibility that Trump would push out the vaccine regardless of the status of trials, etc. Trump kept saying dat

I don't think perfection is even close to the correct word. He just does what he wants, when he wants to. That currently includes delaying an album to work on it more. I saw about 30 minutes of a set at a festival a few years ago, most
