“Well grandma was a little racist at times”

I honestly don’t know if this would be like letting toddlers run a daycare or if it would be paradise.

Imagine WW3 kicking off from TikTok. Not even a cool battle or anything, just massive misinformation campaigns to incite violence and false flag attacks

Also

The devices set to be prohibited include all types of smartwatches and wearable devices as well.

I’m surprised they weren’t already restricting most personal electronics in sensitive spaces. That’s pretty basic stuff

My favorite video on YouTube. Only 3 seconds long

It’s not as purpose-built, but its replacing a ton of airframes which are decidedly not as stealthy as an F22. Think of all of the F16s, F18s, and AV-8s being replaced by F35s

I get it. If real estate wasn’t an investment vehicle, we wouldn’t have this ever increasing pressure to make more money or starve.

It’s completely bizarre that a 40 year old house appreciates 33% in 5 years with absolutely no renovations or other added features. It’s arguably worse off, as it’s less efficient than newer properties and items like roofs and HVAC systems have finite lifespans.

I kind of wish home prices stayed somewhat stagnant. If you rent for 10 years, you have no equity. If you own for 10 years, you have (hundreds of?) thousands. That alone is enough to create wealth gaps in otherwise identical groups of people

I moved for work in a job that requires frequent moves. This is from a typically high COL to a mid-high COL. These are the changes I see from about 5 years prior:

Mortgage costs are around $1000 more a month at 7% than 3%. A $275k ish house is now going for at least $400k. The price and rate increase absolutely blow housing costs up. Rent for these properties rose from maybe $1500 a month to around $2500 a month. Landlords are sitting on around $1k extra each month if they refinanced around 3%

Groceries cost me around $100-150 extra a month.

Childcare prices rose around $200 a month.

All that adds up to around a $15k premium a year to live the same way I have been for the past few years. This is ignoring niceties like entertainment and activities.

I want to live in a house or townhome because I have a family with kids and pets but everything is becoming more expensive and is outpacing raises.

Boeing has a press release already prepped sending thoughts and prayers to the family.

You might finish a custom butt shape topper the morning after the party. Even Bambu printers aren’t that fast

Yes. This is generally agreed upon as being a terminal escalation.

Attacking diplomatic missions very quickly turns into no diplomacy between the two countries. This doesn’t leave many options other than military actions on the table.

Why should the interviewee assume that?

This could very well be a test to see if the applicant has an idea of how a project scales or how they need to interact with other departments or track down compliance information. It could also test the applicant’s ability to provide a sanity check to a boss’s idea before they pitch something that the team can’t actually do

Nuclear deterrent because it’s submarine-borne. If a country makes a first strike on the UK, their submarines, which are ideally hidden and steaming around in oceans somewhere, can make a retaliation strike. They’re still equipped with nuclear warheads but aren’t necessarily intended for a first strike.

You can destroy the UK, but you won’t escape unscathed.

Agree. For about half of what I’m interested in, there’s some activity on Lemmy and the conversations aren’t just “no u.”

I wish I didn’t have to, but I still lurk on Reddit for some very specific hobby and occupation hubs. I think there’s a lot more “blue collar” activity over there than there is over here.

You’d have to talk with your neighbor to make any modifications.

Something like this would probably work. You could DIY it with some plastic tubing from a hardware store cut lengthwise and stuffed over the tops of the fence. Maybe anchor it every few feet with zip ties or something.

Ah, must be broken on my phone. I have a giant ad on the top, three sentences of content, black space, and a combination of links and ads.

Am I missing something? This article is 3 sentences long

Yeah, I should have clarified IOS. Their phones and tablets are locked down with jailbreaks few and far between.

Ironically, there’s no easy way to block ads on a modern Apple device. You know, Google’s competition?
