Yeah, considering they still have yet to actually deliver a working project, should be a big pass. Their whole “we can do it cheaper” thing is based on just building smaller tunnels. I have still yet to see anything explaining how they can get the passenger throughput they are claiming with the vehicles they are using…

Judging form the language and writing on the van, seems like rural China. Which doesn’t surprise me a bit. Have spent a ton of time in those places with those drivers. They are crazy, but also damn good drivers.

Not sure if it is still the case, but I know years ago for Levi’s anything orange tab was outlet/much lower quality

if you have wire on the top of the mask, a good pinch should do most of the trick. The other thing I have found that works is to slide my glasses slightly further down my nose so they are ‘out of the line of fire’ so to speak

Speaking as someone from LA, has lived in China for over a decade, has lived in 2 of the biggest cities here, and visited a majority of that list, looking at it that way is a bit deceptive. The way you are looking at is straight population in an administrative area, which greatly favors China. The reason is that their…

There is a big difference between reading these stories and then having conversations about them and what we think is right or wrong, versus “live-editing” them and pretending like they were ok the whole time. Societies change over time, and trying to act like they don’t is doing our children a disservice 

Does not seem to be much information about the methodology behind this. Seems to be giving weight to total number of locations/states served rather than total population with access to the restaurants, which skews towards the east rather than the west........which is my long way of saying that in-n-out gives a better…

I don’t think anyone has ever said have a centralized app store and payment system is a bad thing, it is that Apple does not give you the CHOICE to use anything else, and that puts them in a position of too much power.

Yeah, never meant to imply that I don’t believe they exist, more in line with your other comment that saying it is ‘always’ like that is a massive overstatement.

Have lived out of the US for over a decade, and never had an ATM ask me what currency I want my transaction settled in. Have gotten it using a credit card to pay for things, but never an ATM. Also to note with ATMs, pay attention to the symbols on it to make sure it will work with you card’s network (plus, cirrus,…

I can’t wait for this panic to be over, so I can go outside without a mask. Not wearing one bc I am paranoid, but bc I can be fined if I don’t, which is hilarious as they are impossible to find in any stores right now. They seemed ok with the bandana I tied around my face to go to the store yesterday thankfully, its…

My best advice- open second account if you can, and keep your cards separate. Additionally, that is what an emergency cash is for, always have some.

Agree with the main thrust of this article and think it is good advice......but basically none of the things that are listed in this are actually “emotional labor”, which is defined as “the process of managing feelings and expressions to fulfill th emotional requirements of a job. More specifically, workers are…

I’ve always been of the opinion that well over 90% of thank you cards are just a waste of resources and money. If the person giving the gift was there, a sincere thank you when it was given is more than sufficient. If you want extra credit, something my daughter does(not because of parent prompting, but on her own) is…

I am confused as to how you can be fine with Fortnite, a game who’s sole objective is to kill everyone else playing and is presented in a cartoon-y fashion with no real illustration of what shooting someone in the head looks like, but be concerned about bodies on meathooks. I don’t mean this as a personal attack or…

Ok, now I have a name for the actions of the person who kept shoving their feet into my arms on my LA-Guangzhou flight last week while I was sleeping (beanie over eyes, arms crossed, slight recline), and it’s power stance. Total jerk move.

I’m sorry, but in my opinion, saying ‘who was struggling today’ is softer is just a cop out. If you have to think of a softer way to ask a question when it comes to this, the underlying concept is just flawed. I say this as both a parent and someone who worked in education for over a decade. I know form both sides it…

It’s buying for that 10% and making it a daily driver that is the biggest problem and why people buy more car than they need, rather than buying the car that works for them 90% of the time, and finding another solution for that 10%(renting, carshare, etc). People occasionally buy big bulky items, so they buy a huge…

Loved YNAB til they killed the old, non-web version. No way am I paying a subscription fee for something that basic. At least I am thankful for it teaching me this concept though, and will bring it to whatever else ends up replacing it in my workflow.

As a teenager, my dentist never recommended getting my wisdom teeth out, though he did say it would probably be necessary at some point. Flash forward a decade and a half or so, I went to the dentist earlier this year having really only gone one other time this decade, and ended up having 3/4 wisdom teeth removed,…
