I haven't had time to look at it in detail but surely the vulnerability is more than a "click a URL".

Can't help but read this as "Canada's today is the US in 10 years..."

Happens all the time in Boston on the green and sometimes the silver lines.

Seem quaint to remember Dunkin' donuts franchisees forbidding their employees from putting out plastic cups for tips.

It's not just SF. The $10 lunch of 2015 is now $15. Default tipping of 20% on things that we never tipped on in 2015 (takeout, fast food) is also adding alot to the total cost.

I don't know how people are affording the various delivery services and their fees on top of it.

Why not also tie votes to number of children you have? Seems like they would have the most interest in the future.

Maybe they call it a Vinyl Disc Player?

He should be the one to enforce it then.

I'm sure there are strong humanist arguments against gambling. Don't need a religious argument against it.

I believe Home Depot offers a similar service now so in a way they are directly competing

They probably don't have any repeaters. All those metal shelves are going to interfere with the signal. I have the same experience.

Is that really the same thing? We aren't just talking about understatement.

This is all very familiar with this North Eastern American English speaker except the "quite good" one. The rest seem normal to me in my American English. Perhaps it's too many Dr Who and or Monty python as a youth. Though in New England the language can be very sarcastic and indirect.

Agreed. This got a big chuckle out of me.

"Alan Moore concedes in hindsight that he “obviously did not read [the contract] very closely.”" re: Watchmen

Basically, "Clean with a hose" decor.

If you go further, the whole thing wraps around. His suppression of his own sexuality, led him to embellish, to write out his own internal dialogue into the "nonfiction" books he wrote. So it all eventually comes back to the thesis, but yes, it's a huge drag to read through, but then Sacks' own writing is so turgid and overly dramatic, like he was writing for an audience.

The first sentence too is apt, "butter colored suit that reminded him of the sun" is a great example of Sacks' writing style.

Is getting chickenpox the first as an adult more dangerous than as a kid not true or unproven?

I wouldn't exactly call the environment on the green line as dry, especially in the summers.

There are a few, but they are trying to fix that since no one stays up that late.

Right but it will be something they can't work with. Like some custom magnesium-aluminum metal that has to be cast and can't be machined with normal tools.

It's wood, I'm sure the MBTA has a workshop that can build replacement parts.

Odds are the replacement is going to be some custom metal machined overseas and will be basically irreplaceable due to cost and skill issues.

The police respond to upstream actions of the prosecutors and judiciary. If the people they are arresting aren't being punished they won't bother arresting them. If people aren't being punished then the population as a whole isn't going to bother reporting them to the police in the first place. This is broken windows theory in action.

Nobody in the US needs to steal for food. Let go of that stupid belief.

The residency system itself is a relic and represents a sort of trapped labor system.

You have to beat inflation. It's not long or short term profitability, it's taking an asset and making it return more than inflation. Treasury bonds or stocks or mobile home parks or monkey nfts, it's all the same thing.

This. Once they are on a property they aren't going anywhere until they get torn down and replaced. Mobile, they are, once.

The Massachusetts law is an income tax not a tax on wealth.

Do your iphones hang low Can you swing them to and fro...

They should worry more about the international flights from overseas.

That's like the fact that we can sense the difference between hot and cold water being poured into a cup
