Yea, my city started using tornado sirens for most decent thunder storms. So they are being used all the time. But there’s no way to know when it’s actually for a tornado…

It was more than that. I’m 1996 round trip tickets were 7500, about 12000 in today’s dollars. I can get a round trip ticket under 400 bucks today for NYC to LHR. So it wasn’t 3x, but 30x the price.

And most are willing to pay less even if it’s a 6 hour flight.

We should have the insurance companies decide if you need it, that’ll help!

If you have family or neighbors with fruit trees, they typically are more than willing to give stuff away when it’s ripe. There’s usually just too much. And if you help them harvest/clean up it’s a win win.

A ticket onto the plane is 10 dollars, but your seat is 200. We’re refunding the whole 10 dollars!

They will implement it, they are just trying different methods until one sticks.

They’ve been in a drought most of the summer. But ya, also the crops have been pretty much all harvested before this picture was taken.

Make some really cheesey Mac and cheese, grilled cheese, scrambled eggs, and pizza.

I was at a party with a small group of friends recently. We were all talking in a group and then one guy started watching tik/insta/whatever with the volume on. Everyone kinda looked at each other like wtf? I asked our friend if he wanted to borrow my headphones to watch that. He took the hint and rejoined the conversation. I still was gobsmacked someone would do that while hanging out with people.

Aka a cool 272 Rankine for our US folks.

That makes sense, I was thinking we would see it coming, but definitely not.

As old and massive as the universe is, if it could have happened, it likely would have already.

I think he’s implying Biden didn’t roll back Trump’s policy or try to begin normalization again.

Yea, those guys are insane. Literally carrying most the gear up Everest, setting up all the climbing gear ahead of time, and smoking cigarettes the whole time.

They’ve been working for a long time.

Don’t worry, if you stay you’ll never work again.

That image is in meters, so it’s bad, but not quite as bad at first glance.

I believe those numbers are calculated as full time jobs. So 2 jobs offering 20 hours a week only count as one. Hard to say how many are part time though. And not many jobs paying min was get filled these days, there’s a lot of options above the minimum.

Ah nice, that makes sense.
