Jesus, the shudder this comment just elicited gave me a crick in my neck… Someone distract the mango before he gets the astronauts killed…

People’s health is the textbook definition of inelastic demand. It should never have been allowed to be a free market and we should require health insurance providers to be registered non-profits at the BARE minimum.

Woodworking. I want to refinish my dining set and build a Murphy bed in the basement. These things seem well within my theoretical abilities but the tools are expensive and I’m afraid those items will look bad. I put some chair rail up and there’s one spot I joined poorly and I can never unsee it.

I think if the decision had been going forward instead of backward, I would have felt better about it. Saying any descendents born after 2025 will not have assumed citizenship is very different than saying “Lol, your citizenship wasn’t real.”

Now I feel like the fact that I decided to learn Italian and work out an emigration plan before applying bit me in the ass. I should have started the process 15 years ago when I was as you say.

I thought Sheetz used it for bonuses though (not base pay and not for firing), which I would still not personally like but doesn’t seem as weird and stupid as this. I’m legitimately wondering if BK has enough potential employees to fire people for not being friendly enough. Seems like a self-own… but I haven’t been to a BK in probably two decades.

I have a 23 Mustang Mach E. Due to where I live, I felt AWD was necessary and that limited my EV options substantially (along with all the tax incentive changes happening at the time I ordered it in 2022).

Honestly though, while it’s bigger than what I wanted and doesn’t have as many manual features as I would prefer, it is a supremely fun vehicle to drive. I wish EV charging infrastructure was better so that taking it on a road trip was more feasible.
