How is a chain link fence supposed to provide privacy?

There are privacy slats you can insert:

Tried getting a fence last year for our house which was new construction. Basically all the fence companies get sucked up by new developments for all the common areas + other new construction. Got a quote June 1 and didn't start until mid-July. $10k for 280 ft of vinyl plus 20 feet of iron fencing. The neighbors did split the cost though.

Never cared much for the videos tbh

Slightly over $1700 take home

Wife takes home ~$2500/week

I've heard it tons of times in my life. Usually followed by "that's not an argument against atheism, it's an argument against foxholes"

Does it count total if theres 5 in the street then 4 more in the apt number?

When I get carded at a store buying alcohol that information doesn't get saved it's a cashier looking at a number and allowing the purchase to happen.

If you could make that a possibility via websites maybe you'd have an argument.

Vault experiment of 100 different accents to see which one endures

I feel like there's pre- and post-covid income disparity. $100k is a lot if you had bought a house/car/etc... before covid when things were much cheaper with sub 4% interest rates. You've got lower payments on debt and so more to save or spend. Then there's the post-covid person that didn't get that kind of income until after everything shot up in price and you're now paying much more in interest on everything.

Two people in the same town making the same $100k but one person is clearly a lot better off.

Of course I've heard of him, he's me

I've only had maybe 2-3 coworkers that I did stuff with outside of work (not counting just going for a drink after work), but once one of us left the company that died off real quick. So I think there's some truth to it. Granted I've been working remotely since covid and haven't lived anywhere near my direct coworkers since.

Looks like it was a financial modeling task via Excel.

I get wanting an interviewee to demonstrate some level of proficiency but a 90 minute task for free seems a bit much. Maybe just show them the spreadsheet and ask how they would solve it or something.

Dandelions fly (literally) in the face of conventional lawn maintenance fundamentals. People like to have a uniform grass lawn and have their flowers outside of the lawn in areas they control. Dandelions are good at surviving and really good at reproducing and spreading over an entire yard very quickly.

Really? Sounded really bad, in your case

It was just annoying I was trying to play DS but couldnt stay awake but also couldnt fall asleep.

No I always get that feeling of falling and jolt myself up. Its especially bad on airplanes makes me feel like the plane is going down. I took a cross country red eye once and man I was physically shutting down but my body wouldnt let me stay asleep so I was just continually dozing off uncontrollably for like a half an hour.

Price gouging is perfectly legal and fine now

Charter a private jet to LA stay in the nicest hotel/airbnb I can find, go to the nicest restaurant I can find, buy the nicest/most expensive bottle of wine I can find. Generally just have the most extravagant mini-vacation that amount of money can afford.

Burger's being cooked through isn't a take lol.

Even a rare burger is going to be cooked thorough they aren't just going to give you an uncooked middle portion.

That being said I haven't been asked how I want my burger in a long time so maybe restaurants aren't doing that anymore.

Oh I should also mention they "lost" like 300k in reserve funds earlier thjs year because one of the board members accounts went inactive and got collected by the state treasury somehow?

I'd probably be contacting the local news to dig into this.

I'd say it's more of a failure of the society not the economy. That's exactly how our economy is supposed to be working. It's just a very exploitive economy chosen by the society.

Some people know exactly how much they want to take out and from which account.

Other people it dawns on them the moment they step up to the screen that they have to type in a number.

I noticed nothing wrong on a Samsung.

My wife and I go get ramen at a restaurant about once per month. We got it for Valentine's Day this year. We have our one place that we know does it well and then we also go and try new ones. Some are hits some are misses. Good ramen at a restaurant isn't even in the same plane of existence as cheap grocery store ramen.

There was a brief span of about 2 months in 2015 where I went and looked at moving into the city. I then was hit with the reality what I was making at the time was not nearly enough to afford a decent place.

I got roped into a queen tribute band show downtown tonight. It starts at 9pm which is usually when Im heading up the stairs to bed.

Pickleball tomorrow then I have to go clothes shopping because weve got a vacation coming up.

I tried getting it onto my steam deck and got all the way to the end of the installation, started it up and got the first screen with all the text and the background image of both games, then it just closes out without an error. So I'm in troubleshooting mode. So close!

And then there is air pollution from it that causes millions of deaths a year from Cancer. Pretty sure fossil fuel pollution alone has caused more deaths in a single year then Nuclear power has ever.

This is a symptom of another problem that goes back to the OP, which is that people respond to acute events so much better than chronic ones. For whatever reason humans identify with the one-time disaster but if something isn't directly threatening them then they don't take action, as in the case with the "environmental crisis". There's still a ton of climate change denial even after presented with skyrocketing sea temperatures, increased extreme weather events, and the extinction of winter staring them right in their faces.

First recognizing that there is already a massive push for renewables and has been for a few decades now. I think the posts in this topic have already covered that.

We still live in a capitalist system with regulatory controls and property rights. You can't just decide to build a solar farm anywhere and start breaking ground the next day. The government does provide pretty lucrative subsidies to the renewable industry (though not even remotely to the scale of oil and gas). But to actually build a project you still need 1) a return on investment (companies don't do this for free), 2) regulatory approval from the grid (can't just tap into the power lines), and 3) federal, state, county, and local government approval to build (not everyone wants your project in their backyard). It takes YEARS to go from "lets build a wind farm here" to figuring out how it'll work financially, getting a power purchase agreement, obtaining financing if needed, going through all the interconnection approvals, getting landowners to sell/lease their land, feasibility studies, atmospheric measuring, environmental surveys and agency coordination, permitting applications and public hearings, getting the materials, labor negotiations, designs then changes to design, then mobilization to construct.

There's about 700 steps in the process that can kill the project. I'm on a solar project in California right now where we're supposed to start construction NEXT WEEK and I'm told the project may not start because we don't have some necessary items yet.

My day has come at last

No but it felt like every single topic was about the same thing for a few days there.

Keep in mind that most of the crazy trolling and offensive-ness was something done nearly 20 years ago by now. Most of the users on LUE are just 30-somethings at the youngest, socializing on the internet. You'll get worse stuff on an average subreddit. The users on LUE or LUE-adjacent communities aren't random trolls anymore, for the most part. They got a bad rep for the legitimately dumb and borderline-dangerous stuff they did two decades ago but that's literally all in the past.

It has been an interesting transition from trolling teenagers to topics on girls in college to people getting married to having kids and buying houses over the years. And the inevitable death announcement here and there.

Whats live journal?

Basically a blog site. I think the detail left out is that people that knew the girl were using it as a memorial site.

The live journal invasion was absolute peak early 2000s internet troll culture at work.

I lived in an apartment that was on a hill overlooking an interstate. It was wild how empty it was in the early days of lockdown.

Got put in the wrong bracket this year so we owed about $4000 federal. After deductions we still owed about $3000. Luckily we got back almost exactly the same amount from state taxes also due to a clerical fuckup. We ended up getting ~$100 back at the end.

Usually I get a small refund.

So a judge rejected it in Delaware so they'll move the company to Texas to see if anyone cares there?

Also while the company has been tanking for like a year now just after an awful quarter and laying off 14,000 employees. Also right after they stopped delivering cybertrucks because they are literal death machines.

It'll play most AAA games up to a few years ago on high settings and a lot of newer ones with some tweaks. It's a linux computer that has a desktop mode so it's extremely modifiable. It's the best emulator I've ever used. I play it docked most of the time and it's effectively a console but then when I travel I can bring it with me. You can upload other media like shows and movies and watch them on it.

Biggest complaint would be battery life but its competitors aren't really any better in that department.

I don't play fighting games but you can connect whatever controller you want.

Middle eastern instability. Doesn't matter if it's actually material to oil production they just need the excuse to raise prices.
