jonsno56··on Estimating the ROI of Insulation
Well then I think GP is actually agreeing with you but you are correcting their definition of economic sense. Which is great, but not sure why you had to snark them with the “meanwhile, economists think humans are rational” joke
jonsno56··on Why Italians don't drink a cappuccino after 11am [video]
I’m gonna drop my $.02 in here because I am SEVERELY lactose intolerant and would like to discuss with someone else who is lactose intolerant. (This comment is unrelated to the video)

I usually use 2-4 lactaid capsules when eating dairy and sometimes 8 when it’s some super cheesy pizza or something. I live in the United States. I visited Italy last year, and I ate a lot of ice cream, cheesy pastas, and pizzas without any problems. Same with my father and uncle who are lactose intolerant. Do you know if there’s anything different about Italian dairy vs American dairy? I recognize my experience is super anecdotal, but it’s quite funny as my uncle, my father, and I got cocky about our ability to eat US dairy after coming home from Italy and immediately regretted it! So yeah, we’re definitely lactose intolerant

Here’s also this silly link I just got off of google: https://www.wantedinrome.com/news/living-with-lactose-intole...

This. And yes to GP, progressive + NIMBY seems to be a very hypocritical view. Which is why more progressives ought to become more YIMBY [0]

Agree - Literal swastikas. In America, a country whose most patriotic war was the one where we kicked the shit out of swastikas

I bought a bunch of N95 masks and air purifiers in anticipation of the 2019 fall fire season in the Bay (since 2018 was super bad for the time), and I must say I never could have imagined the ROI on utility from this past year lol

Bro no offense but you are boohooing because your life sucks in America. Competent governments can actually fix this problem of COVID
jonsno56··on No new locally-acquired coronavirus cases in Australia yesterday
Fun fact! If there are only a handful of cases the lockdowns don’t have to last that long. And vaccines can keep COVID out of a country forever

jonsno56··on How to form a California LLC without a lawyer
Crap. I actually missed 1-2 years of paying the $800 franchise tax because like a lot of other people on this thread, it’s just used for hobbies, makes no money, and lies fallow 99% of the time. I’ve never gotten a fine in the mail for this though. Does anyone know if there’s some sort of online portal or phone number that is the best place for me to pay all the taxes and fines and make sure that in their records I am even?

Well yes, it goes to show that you can find an abundance of systemic racism against black people in all kinds of housing policy.

Moreover, scroll through Naval’s twitter replies on May 17 and you’ll see that he trolls en masse a bunch of people who want to debate him regarding Canada.

He’s human, we’re all human, but you can imagine someone looking at his trolling spree and feeling a little sad, as I did. I used to admire him a lot, especially the way he tried to teach the importance of keeping your cool

It’s a shame. He really did seem like a great guy and probably still has a lot of meaningful stuff to say. I think with the pandemic and the surge in his popularity combined, he didn’t know how to handle it and started acting immature on Twitter. (If you look at his tweets pre and post pandemic, they are very different. Pre pandemic, he seemed to stay truer to his principles of not wasting time on “status games” like social media fights). I guess the pandemic has really made (what seems like) even the best of us get a little more cuckoo
