There’s an amusement park in Maine that does “after dark” a few nights per year. Adults only and they serve drinks. It’s marketed toward millennials who grew up going to the park. I haven’t been, but it seems popular.

That’s not the issue where I live. Houses easily go for $300k+ here and the only rentals I can find are $3000/mo, and/or winter months only. You may say to just move, but I grew up in this area, I have the best job I’ve ever had and my kids’ school is helping them immensely. Shouldn’t I be able to find a modest 3 bedroom that’s affordable? We’ll I can’t.

That’s the answer? Uproot my family, change the school that works well for my kids, and likely change jobs because land owners are greedy. Makes sense to me.

Supply and demand shouldn’t apply to basic necessities like housing, food, water, and healthcare.

I used to think Crocs were stupid. I

I was looking for indoor winter footwear for the cold floors: Slippers with socks were too hot. Slippers without socks were too sweaty and gross. Just socks wore out my socks too quickly.

I now have indoor Crocs. They’re great to regulate temperature.

Oh God. Back when I was dirt poor, I needed socks but I wanted to save money, so I wore them for two days, hanging them to dry overnight.

I ended up with athlete’s foot. Don’t skimp on socks.

I’m lucky that my Subaru has it right. Left right are back forward and up down is volume. My only complaint is that the button in the middle is mute, rather than pause. I can pause CDs, bluetooth audio, and even live radio. Why in hell would I ever choose mute over pause?

Because resuming from mute or pause has less delay. Particularly if using a CD or bluetooth audio.

The reason infinity $100 bills is more valuable than infinity $1 bills: it takes less effort to utilize the money.

Let’s say you want to buy a $275,000 Lamborghini. With $1 bills, you have to transport 275,000 notes to pay for it. That will take time and energy. With $100 bills, you have to transport 2750 notes. That’s 100x fewer, resulting in a more valuable use of time and energy.

Even if you had a magical wallet that weighed the same as a standard wallet and always a had bills of that type available to pull out when you reach in. It’s less energy to reach in a fewer number of times.

Let’s toss in the perspective of the person receiving the money, too. Wouldn’t you rather deal with 2750 notes over 275,000, if it meant the same monetary value? If you keep paying in ones, people will get annoyed. Being seen favorably has value.

Value is about more than money.

I’m currently using powerline because running an ethernet cable across the apartment seemed gaudy at best. The suggestion of a flat white cable stuck to the wall seems interesting.

I have the modem and router on a UPS because power flickers semi-regularly here. Sadly, powerline cannot go on a UPS.
