What was their desired outcome/remedy? Did they want their $7 back or were they suing for millions for being slightly inconvenienced?

Doing the lord’s work

This is akin to releasing Red from a lifetime in prison in Shawshank. She lacks the skills to function in that society.

All the concrete came in already poured sections -- and no one thought “boy that’s odd...”

That’s what I’ve always assumed it has to be. Otherwise you’re assuming there was a conversation like “Great news Mr. Castro! That top secret weapon you wanted that we can hide in the walls and makes people feel kind of bad for a little bit is finally ready!”

I don’t mind this when it’s going to garage sales where people are trying to get things out of their house and you’re paying them the price they agreed to for it, then doing the hustling of taking pics and listing it online to get more money.

I have a friend with a tesla who wants to get rid of it now that Elon Musk is saying crazy right wing stuff. Considering the types of folks with Teslas are college educated, wealthy, care about the world types, this could be have more to do with the CEO than the quality of the cars.

This is good info. Also, it should be noted that choosing not to accept a payment doesn’t mean the company needs to pay less (or telling others to accept the deal doesn’t punish the company and they pay more.) By the time the payout is decided, the company is ordered to pay a set amount and it’s divided amongst all…

That’s awesome!

Figure out how much you can realistically pay every month for the rest of your life. Don’t assume “I’ll probably get a huge raise that will last forever” - be realistic. Figure out the real amount you can put down and still have ~$20,000 for all the out-of-the-gate costs (fix an old furnace, buy a new couch - there’s…

The separate but equal idea is something they actually quite like. 

I also kill things in my planters - but I’ve found begonias flower all summer and fall and are pretty hardy and look nice -- plus they’re like $4 at home depot and come in a bunch of colors. The thing I’ve found with planters is that they dry out quickly so you do need to pay attention to watering them every other day…

That’s behind a paywall. OnlyClams

What’s the cost and speed of starlink internet in the US? Just curious if it’s a good deal or just a better option for rural folks who might not be served by anyone else.

Warrior! It started on Cinemax for seasons 1 and 2, and word is there is a season 3 coming to HBOMax soon. It’s awesome!

It works well and it’s easy to navigate - especially considering they have such disparate content from Bigfoot, Hitler docs, gardening, etc. You can flip through by “channel” or what’s popular or reco for you or by topics. Is it “best in class”? Who knows. But it’s fine. The downside is they don’t have separate…

Is selling power back to the grid during high demand times still a thing — in which case, could a battery make you a few bucks each month when you don’t need it for yourself?

Perhaps once it’s proven out, Amazon and Walmart and other companies with thousands of trucks across the country (fedex, ups, usps) will choose to team up and bear the cost to save a few bucks on gas.

I’m about 3 weeks away from my wedding. It is astounding the cost of things. One thing that’s tough about planning and trying to save money is that my wife’s mother is kicking in a huge chunk of change, and she’s been great about not needing to be a part of the specifics, but she’s expecting a big party and all the…

This was a very good overview!
