No. He’s fine with female reporters that know their place. /s

Yep, she’s the only politician who’s ever told crowds what they wanted to hear.

…… and that’s exactly the same as bribery

In office, vs after

Quid pro quo, vs opinion and connections

Abusing the office for personal enrichment, vs speaking as a citizen with unique experiences for personal enrichment

It’s an accelerator. At some point even the wealthiest must be affected. If humanoid robots become e a practical means of automation, suddenly there will be a lot of desperate people. At some point UBI might be the cheap solution for the wealthy

I’ve known several people with a habit of buying old Volvos. Probably a luxury car …… but like 20 years old

Definitely part of your point: he’s also fucking over his own constituents. We not only have record high (for us) gas prices but he can gaslight us that they’re cheap relative to the Netherlands because taxes for infrastructure and maintenance do not come close to covering infrastructure or maintenance.

It’s just another level. Try to make us feel better because at least we’re not like Europeans … with their trains and bicycles. While we ignore that we’re also victims here. Our prices follow global supply and demand, so a big part of the difference is we don’t tax enough to maintain existing roads, much less catch up on infrastructure…… while a few oligarchs get ever richer

I believe a lot of the difference is fuel taxes. You also have to put up with… infrastructure you can afford to maintain

I’m never sure where the joke ends, but everyone’s aware of dynamic stability right? The stabilizer pushes the tail down so flight is level, but if you lose lift, the tail goes up, the nose down, you gain speed, and lift is restored. If you gain too much speed, the tail is pushed down, nose up, you lose speed and level off.

Military jets have other priorities

And I’ll answer as well to keep the train running, even though i wasn’t part of this…

I don’t pay with cash unless specifically asked. I don’t regularly carry cash. If I need to pay cash I get it first that purpose, but usually get a larger amount. I’m a bit more likely to use it if I gave it but don’t refill it when it’s gone, until I’m forced to

You could ask some of those guys how they prefer to be paid. My electrician likes Venmo and my house cleaner prefers Zelle. I can pay them instantly like with a credit card but they’re not hit with the fees

One of the farmshares near me is selling a “stone fruit” share. Maybe I’ll take a closer look

Then there are a few aircraft that can do it like old movies. Perfectly safe to fly with the “window” open, and a hell of a lot of fun

Wages in the uk are low relative to the US, at least in my current company, and train tickets into London for those working in the office are ridiculous

While I completely agree, to be clear, there’s no requirement for overtime pay for salaried workers, and this is widely abused by companies

My brother works in a unionized industry and is the only exception I know: as a salaried employee he is not part of the union but he does get some union-driven benefits …. Not that he’ll ever admit that

While I grew up hearing this advice, I don’t remember anyone taking it literally. Even as a little one I always understood it to mean the same as “walk it off”, also not entirely literal.

What they really meant was the more literal and toxic “don’t just cry like a baby “

Gas will have to be high for a long time to make a difference with EVs here, especially with the huge level of protectionism. Since legacy automakers pretty much gave up on EVs and most new technology companies are blocked, pretty much all we have are Tesla and Hyundai/Kia. Hopefully Rivian can make it over the humo of mass production but you can’t really call them more than a niche so far

I don’t understand why so many of my fellow citizens wouldn’t want this

I guess we sort of have some, in that if you’re on Medicaid or on one of the exchanges, you get subsidized coverage based on your income

But higher income people don’t pay more, plus I imagine that at some point you have enough income that you wouldn’t need health insurance…… and people wonder why our system is so expensive

My college kids do everything through cloud services, so it shouldn’t really matter what their device is.

• One of them has a Mac and is just finishing his first year with no problems, so I would expect a neo to be no different.
• My older kid jumps among an iPad in class, his laptop when necessary, and his gaming rig in his dorm, and has had no issues

On the other hand, my niece has very specific requirements for her major, so there will always be a few specialties

we pay national insurance, a fixed percentage of income

With no limits? One of the many problems with the us system is we don’t do this.
