travysh,

Yes, and somehow those who are against RealID are okay with using a passport.

travysh,

I very intentionally received only an associate’s degree with the plan being to immediately get a job and start learning from there. It’s worked great. Except that was 20 years ago and now many jobs “require” a bachelor’s or otherwise have the nerve to say that 4 years of on the job experience is the same as 1 year of college.

In my experience, I’ve seen the same thing. The university time kick starts things. But university lessons are so different than real on the job work.

travysh,

Flat tax is nice in theory, but it’s horribly regressive. 30% would be a nice reduction in taxes for anyone making $230k + or so, while a dramatic increase for anyone under 90k

travysh,

I’ve been counting calories for the last few months, and that was my big realization as well. I could have easily put down a single meal at a restaurant which is my entire (or more) daily intake now.

More than anything it’s just awareness.

Keep in mind this picture is from 2016. Things have changed since then.

travysh,

The brakes are part of the trailer. I’d imagine laws are different everywhere, but where I’m at trailer brakes are required for 3000+ pound trailers, though it’s a bit more complicated than that and even a 1500 pound trailer could require them.

Anyway, the point is that big 5th wheel travel trailers are way heavier than even a huge dually truck. A 7,000 pound truck can tow a 25,000 pound trailer. I’d imagine the towbot would be limited to something a bit more sane, like 6,000 pounds (class 3 hitch). Since the towbot doesn’t also have to carry passengers etc, I’d imagine 1,500 to 2,000 pounds for it.

travysh,

Your situation is your own, but I was able to lease a phev for less than what I was paying for gas + maintenance on a car I had paid off. It may not be exactly what you want, but lease deals still come around occasionally.

travysh,

The crazy thing is that, at least at Starbucks, a Venti hot drink is 2 shots, just like the grande. Paying extra for just more milk and sugar!

travysh,

Buying the individual albums is still an option. The benefit of renting through Spotify (or any similar service) is that it’s dramatically cheaper than owning the same amount of music.

I’m right there with you. Well, a bit worse, rocking a 20 for walkability. On a few occasions I have decided to take my life in to my own hands, walking the 1 mile alongside the cars which seem to have confused the 40 mph road with a drag strip.

The sweet reward for doing so? Nothing but the finest of dining options. From Subway to McDonald’s to Taco Time, we’ve got it all!

She’s one of the oldest boomers.

Baby boomer generation is 1946-1964 (59 to 77 years old).

travysh,

I’m lucky enough to have multiple routes to my office.

During the times that taking the back roads is dramatically slower, I’ll go on the interstate. Holy hell my stress and anger levels rocket when doing that.

travysh,

I paid to remove ads from Reddit Sync in 2014. 9 years went by where I continued to use the app every single day, as ljdawson continued regular improvements and updates (aside from the incident). By the time Reddit Sync went away, I felt I had vastly underpaid for what I got, and purchased lifetime Ultra as a way of supporting ljdawson.

I totally get what you’re saying. But at the same time, Sync is so much more than just the content that it displays. The ads are not there to profit on free content, they’re there to support the user experience that sync provides. They’re also far, far less obtrusive than typical ads

The nice thing is, there’s choices! Feel free to use other clients and find what works best

travysh,

Yeah it’s from adguard DNS.

Ads just show up semi frequently. Definitely visible but not obtrusive. Just keep scrolling.

You should still see the frequency with adguard. It’s just a blank area where normally there’d be an ad.

travysh,

I don’t think so?

The frequency I see ads is very very low. And when they do it’s just a single card

travysh,

When was that? Where?

The house I bought in my 20s (for $275k, inflation adjusted) is now worth $475k.

The house I bought in my 30s ($480k, inflation adjusted) is now worth $800k

In my area at least, home prices are far outpacing inflation. I literally couldn’t afford to buy the house I’m in today at its current value.

travysh,

Do you write 4$ and 50¢?

Or do you write $4.50

And if you write $4.50 do you say “dollars four period fifty”?

That’s not nearly the justification that you think it is.

travysh,

I went to college early 2000s. The textbook said something along the lines of “The fastest RAM is 100 MHz”.

DDR was still relatively new then. I took a clipping of an ad showing higher speeds, and he literally claimed I faked the printed ad …

travysh,

My dad is probably about the same age (currently 81)

He didn’t touch a computer until the mid 2000s, and he just wanted to be able to email. It was a looooong journey to get him comfortable doing that.

Since he got a smart phone he texts literally every day, has installed a number of apps himself, can mostly get new services working himself (he did Amazon Prime, with some mild hand holding).

If anything, I call him more then he calls me!

It’s doable :)

travysh,

I really am wondering if there’s some sort of sorting issue, or even a self inflicted feedback loop.

If you keep Lemmy on “active”, you end up with a bunch of 1, 2, even 3 day old content. This seems to be noticeably worse in the last few weeks.

However, if you use top 12, there’s enough content to keep it fresh. Not a lot of comments, but that’s alright

travysh,

Ah interesting. I too have instituted a flex time Friday.

So far my company hasn’t seemed to notice
