Good; incentive to go learn something. Have a plan in place to deal with it though.

Firewall rules don’t replace parenting.

Just create a dhcp lease in unifi.

It’s only weird if you keep shaving them for him. Open conversations like that are a sign of great communication and trust!

I know that removing pubes can have a health impact for vagina owners. I don’t know if that holds true for penis owners. That may be something to investigate and advise.

xkcd 927 in action right there.

Zigbee works just fine, but needs a hub to share out devices eg internet access or HomeKit. But it is quick. How thread compares remains to be seen.

Hitting particularly cold water makes it even worse.

You can improve a skill by visualizing your performance of the skill.

But you need to have the experience beforehand to be able to understand what you’re visualizing.

So - absolutely not.

There’s enough people locally who die that it seems reasonable for me to project that thousands die globally each year because they have no clue how to swim, but other people are there having fun in the water and how hard could it be?

I used my work address. My work is small enough that it’ll filter to me eventually if they snail mail me.

it depends

Jurisdiction is key, of course.

Income taxes (and also sales taxes, in most cases) disproportionately impact lower earners. Someone earning minimum wage likely devotes the majority of their income to cost of living essentials. Conversely, someone earning 10x minimum wage will spend a much lower percentage.

The exclusion level generally is set quite a bit below minimum wages, and the a progressive tax doesn’t always fix that, as cost of living/inflation can outpace legislation very quickly.

The other reason that it’s not entirely fair is that the wealthy don’t earn a salary. They earn dividends and do all kinds of things to avoid having an income. Someone who pulls down $1 million in salary either needs an accountant or earns an additional 10x compensation via stock grants, dividends, etc., which are (in most jurisdictions) taxed very differently than income. In the USA, for example, the top tax bracket (federal) for income is 37%, whereas a stock grant held for 1 year after vesting would be taxed at no more than 20% (and I’m grossly oversimplifying).

1. It’s still in use, but perhaps seasonally or infrequently.
2. It’s gonna get fixed just as soon as I have time.
3. It’s got parts for the other one I have.
4. Might be useful someday. It’s got parts, and the hardware store is 20 miles away.
5. Scrap metal value.
6. The dump is 20 miles away, gonna get a load built up and do a dump run with Jimmy, just as soon as his trailer gets fixed.
7. The dump doesn’t take that thing.
8. Redneck decor.
9. The dump is closed

That $300/visit doesn’t go to the dr before it passes through several layers of bureaucracy, each of which skims their fee.

Not to say that doctors aren’t well compensated. They are.

They don’t work that effectively. To the effect they do, they make you smell like poison to mosquitoes.

DEET blocks odorant receptors at a distance and chemoreceptors on contact. Icardin blocks odorant receptors.

Community gardens and Internet cooperative are the operating phrases you’re searching for

IKEA window sensors are pretty cheap, and that’s what I’ve used. You’d need to have a lot of sensors or a lot of faith in the rapidity of air movement to avoid window sensors.

Step one: build rapidly, with little more than token acknowledgment that there is an alternative to cars for transportation.

Step two: act shocked and surprised when cars (trucks, really) travel at high rate of speed through the streets (that are designed to move traffic around quickly) and kill pedestrians and cyclists.

I don’t really sympathize with the government or media producers on this one, but I do see it’s a challenging problem they’ve built up in their mind. However, legalizing at-will censorship is not a great way to address this

Thanks for including the 2000 Corolla. I forget how big they’ve gotten.

Bad example on BMW; their recent design language with the beaver tooth grills is terrible

Look at the 1950 American cars. They’re wild.

One reason for the perception that cars look fancy or not is that you become accustomed to a design when you see it all the time.

Supercars are wildly impractical, and slapping that body on a Corolla chassis would make a Corolla that only seats 2 and has no space for bags, but somehow takes up a lot more space than a Corolla. Also, downforce is bad for fuel efficiency.

Your note at the bottom is interesting. The perceived luxury of a car is not related to the quality of the vehicle. As a car guy with a penchant for German cars, I do have to admit that while they’re wonderful in many ways, a beige Corolla or Civic will stand far more abuse.

I’ve never paid with a credit card to charge my car. At home, overnight, is all I’ve needed. Road trips would be different, but I didn’t buy the car for that.

I’ve also heard of people just adding to the boil like hops, but I would think that the effect would be wildly unpredictable.
