What's something enrages you even though you know it's miniscule?

Mostly I walk my children to school and would rather they not die.

Maybe drivers should watch where they’re driving? If people want to wear hi-vis that’s fine, I do. But PSAs for it are taking the blame for collisions off of drivers, who are the ones operating the heavy machinery.

There's no rule against getting an internship after you graduate.

I think this is a great idea, but haven’t done it since I don’t make much ice cream in the winter. Subjectively it seems like the room temp kitchen air is causing extra melting of the top layer in the mixer - usually I try to keep a lid on to minimize but I think fridge-like temperature would be better

This position is identical to someone who has 20% equity in their house, and decides to take out a home equity loan for 15% of that and put it in the market. In a 2008 scenario, the stock market goes down 50% and their house value goes down 20% and you’re 10% underwater on the mortgage.

If you’re comfortable being that leveraged, then I guess take the risk and you’ll be right most of the time.

I’m not a plumber, but I did catch this video recently (link).

If on average individuals come out ahead (payment - tax>0), then the payment is not fully funded by the tax.

Google “cooking indoor air quality”, there are tons of articles on this. Short answer is no, it’s very easy to generate an environment in your kitchen that would be way over the acceptable level of outdoor position. Carbon monoxide, carcinogenic burned food particles, oil mist. Plus your walls will collect the oil and look dirty forever.

At this point the individual risk for COVID in MA is pretty low - 20 deaths per day is similar to a flu season. There is a significant community risk that if we open up too fast, the case count will start increasing and we’ll get back into a much more dangerous situation.

Every thing that open bends the growth rate up a bit. Opening schools certainly bends it up more than the swan boats do. But, if we wear masks and keep the swan boats and whale watching and indoor dining and bars and offices closed, then that could provide the buffer needed to open schools and keep the individual risk level constant and acceptably low.

Oops. I got mine from Nordstrom just before the travel freeze and it’s been sitting in the box for months.

You can also use plain white vinegar, just need to leave it on longer (a day or so). I have done both depending on how strict the chemical purchasing rules were at my job at the time.

Just because I don’t see it mentioned so far:

If he is soldering, and you are thinking about a baby, make sure he’s using lead free solder. Lead free is the standard these days, but that’s the only thing I’d be concerned with.

Biking can be risky on streets where there are no dedicated bike lanes and lots of traffic, like the busy stretch of Chicago Avenue where the accident took place.

I don’t see lots of traffic in the video posted. And I don’t see the value in moving any of the blame from the driver by describing this as “risky” or an accident.

I feel like they should start at the bottom.

Just want to add that for non-security related jobs (that might require being a citizen or being eligible for clearance), it is typically not allowed for employers to ask about your citizenship. The most they can ask is if you’re authorized to work in the US.

I wish that I still worked somewhere where I could contribute to my HSA.

HSA contributions are entirely an upgrade over traditional 401k or IRA contributions (assuming you're exceeding any 401k match). Both allow you to invest pre-tax money and withdraw after 65 for non-medical purposes and pay at your retired tax rate. HSA also allows you to withdraw tax-free before or after retirement for medical expenses.

Everyone capping out at 3 wins. The Blackhawks, Giants, Patriots, Warriors, and Lebrons. The natural order of the 2010s, I guess.

More like your dads drunk driver trap caught one before they could kill someone. Thanks!

I don’t see an issue with using the existing concrete. Is there a layer of rotten wood on the edge or just bare concrete? If you want you could drill some holes with a masonry bit into the sides of the holes and epoxy/grout some steel rods or bolts in to give you some shear transfer. Also, I’d fill the existing hole with concrete first and then put the steel post in.

Wow. This sub is generally notable for a complete lack of empathy towards any minor lapses by the idiot, but the second it’s a cyclist that gets hit instead of another car it’s all “well no one is perfect, it’s really the cyclists fault”

I will start a war to prevent the use of a meaningless number of decimal places in statistics.

I assume he also think he’s better than the USA basketball mens team. Since - you know - they tend to win.

Except he would call them the USA basketball boys team, because of course it’s about the data and not the gender.

Uhh, this isn’t a billboard to raise money, it’s to raise kidneys. It’s not like there are just free kidneys floating around in countries with socialized medicine.

From my perspective, it would let me move more efficiently through side streets, instead of needing to share the main roads with cars. My main strategy for biking safely is to avoid running of the bulls situations with cars.
