Just about everywhere else I've lived is culturally richer, DC, Chicago, Miami, London, Houston, all had better cultural and art scenes. I'm big in theater, ballet, and art. San Francisco is way too expensive for artists to live

> The original salary must have been low, no hate. My new salary is just much higher, I've had several major steps up. I've found salaries in major metro areas to be pretty much the same as a competitive offer in the Bay Area.

I left the Bay Area in 2011 because I was tired of the endless suburban hellscape, the high cost of housing, and the poor cultural offerings (yeah SFO is great but that's a long way off). I was worried it'd be tough to move jobs o

I do strict calorie counting. I cook most of what I eat and do volumetric estimation on the rare days I eat out.

This sort of result has been showed repeatedly. We really need more (and better) nutrition education. The level of obesity and overeating in our society is astounding. I'd be surprised if most people could even implement basic calor

Then why do it in TeX as opposed to Inkscape?

Why the hell should I pay for poor journalism that is riddled with ads? There is a reason I subscribe to Netflix but not Hulu.

It's the other way: standing is necessary but not sufficient. Exercise doesn't cancel out sitting and blood pooling in your legs.

Except it's not about a decade. Good friend of mine died at 30 from obesity induced cardiomyopathy. Then we talk about quality of life. I run, lift, and generally workout because I want to maintain quality of life as much as length.

Part of the problem here is the obesity angle. Obese people are sick, they have a serious disease, they cannot pursue fitness until they fix their underlying weight problem. Obese and overweight people need to focus on getting their diet

Exercise feels great. It wears you down but it makes you feel alive! Exercise is the time during the day I am most at peace and relaxed. No work bullshit, just me and my goals.

It's a problem of our system in general. When I don't pay something I supposedly "owe" immediately penalties escalate unreasonably. When the state doesn't pay something they owe, there is no penalty. That asymmetr

To be fair the author clearly doesn't understand the basis of the law either. Hint: it's not the constitution, even if it ever was. It's power and the threat of violence from the elite.

Wait, political corruption from an elected official is your WTF here? Have you been paying attention?

No states have excellent DMVs (or BMVs, or IDS) some states just have worse ones than others.

Not everyone complies with registrations. Compliance is especially low amongst the poor, ethnic minorities in large cities, and the wealthy elite in California.

Maybe in liberal arts and crafts, but this bullshit doesn't apply to STEM.

The benefits are ridiculous. Not the costs. Where I live it costs $28,000 to get a BS. I took out loans for every penny. Before college my salary was just under $18,000. After college I was making $48,000. I got my MS and PhD for free

Why would you see the decisions of the rich elite few allowed to be part of government as reflective of the population?

I have never had a bad experience with Bluetooth. I don't use wired headphones anymore, wireless is just better for running. That said -- I oppose eliminating this jack. My hearing disabled father relies on it for his custom monaural

Or... You know... Don't live in California. We moved from the coasts to Iowa. I got a 14% salary bump. My wife got a 41% salary bump. We have been socking away savings non-stop, just bought a house, and all of a sudden can afford vac
