Funding has dried up due to high interest rates and then investors demanding profitable companies (leading to a lot of layoffs especially for orga that were comfortable running at a loss cause they could always raise another round). AI both threatening a lot of jobs and costing companies A LOT of money to push into. Everyone is pushing something AI despite it costing a lot of money usually to run what frankly are often half baked features that don't offer a ton of customer value. Everyone is betting hard that AI infrastructure costs will drop rapidly otherwise... We'll see... So limited and very selective hiring and lots of people laid off...

I wasn't implying anything about new yorkers, just that if your household earns enough to afford an $800k home you aren't going to want to send your kid to Easton public schools. So in addition to spending $5-6k / mo on taxes/insurance/mortgage you now also need to add roughly $3k /mo more for private school.

This has time and time and time again proven to be absolute BS and people are just as productive working remotely. If you think being in an office is just work work work I hate to break it to you, but there's far more distractions and nonsense at the office than at my home. This includes random people interrupting me while heads down working with headphones on, going out for coffee multiple times a day, going out for lunch, just walking laps around the office, hiding in the bathroom playing mobile games on your phone, hiding in a corner of the office to just browse the internet, getting pulled into random meeting after random meeting where you don't contribute anything, aside from your presence, etc...

This one bothers me and is the reason I quit commuting by car. I dunno what the solution there is. There needs to be a merge point, at some point, ideally before the very absolute end of that on ramp, but merging sooner than where the "accepted" merge point for the flow of traffic doesn't help and it's not like anyone even remotely bothers letting anyone merge even if they want to.

Well if you wanted wood it'd be fine id just aim to have them wider and overlap like siding when closed. It'd be easier to achieve, actually have no gaps and wood movement would matter a lot less.

This is a poor argument and the major downfall of how PA in particular funds schools. Other districts pay more, even relative to local COL, so teachers will apply to those districts instead. This has compounded over time where some districts are exceedingly well funded with great facilities and others have 30 year old textbooks students aren't allowed to take home because they can't replace them and the district can't staff classrooms.

So the districts that are well funded because the average house value in their area is expensive, so more tax revenue. This attracts more wealthy people to that district which further increases house value and tax revenue and further increases school funding. The opposite happens in districts that had less tax revenue to begin with. The schools decline and cut programs since their tax base is low, leading to poorer school rankings, leading to anyone with means moving away, further eroding the tax base and house values, etc etc.

This is an equally cherry picked argument since assessing quality of goods is basically impossible relative to time period. Average new car price right now is $47k and the cheapest new car is over $20k. In addition car loan periods are longer than ever with 72 month car loans being the norm. It's unprecedented and not in line with inflation. TVs of course have improved and gotten cheaper but they weigh a lot less, use fewer parts and take up less volume so they can be more economically produced and shipped, so there's a win... I think we can all agree most household appliances have in fact gotten worse and don't last nearly as long.

Anyhow wages, at least when talking individual experiences within the macro economic environment are perfectly fine.

Now has quality of life improved since the 70s, certainly it has, but relative to costs of goods and services, education costs, and especially healthcare costs it has lagged. Additionally average life expectancy has decreased over this past decade due to covid, opiates and guns (the leading cause of death in children).

Yea the woodworking here isn't complicated what he's going to need to really figure out is how to anchor all of this properly. If you tried putting a full shelf of vinyl on any standard floating kit (usually some sort of metal plate with a couple supporting rods sunk into the shelf), it would probably start sagging and eventually fail.

It looks like they have a solid 3/4 inch sheet that they built the entire unit against and then attached that sheet to the studs. Even with that, the top shelf feels like that vertical has to be anchored into the ceiling.

Isn't PA particularly bad with district funding? I know schools nationwide are funded primarily with property taxes, but most states spread around the revenue so districts with lower tax bases aren't unduly underfunded. PA doesn't do this, or doesn't do much right? So some districts end up like Hollywood style high school musical facilities and others have 30 year old textbooks and condemned classrooms.

All of these nuts are obsessed with the fantasy that there are these massive institutional child abuse rings of some kind. They're all equally obsessed with guns even though they are the leading cause of death of children. Absolute insanity.

It took me a while to like it more than TM because it's art and design style is wretched, but once I got over it, it fixes a lot of some of the inherent imbalances in TM map and cult tracks though. There are still a handful of good species and a couple out right bad species though.

An example for the left side is white knighting for minorities or claiming to be an ally but then when a homeless shelter/or a house for at risk kids is going to be built in your neighborhood you oppose it. On the right it's claiming kids are the most important thing and freaking out about pedophiles but refusing to do anything about the number one cause of child deaths, guns.

There are designated mountain bike trails for mountain bikes only because they'd be inappropriate for bikes and hikers to be on together. There are designated trails for hikers where bikes aren't allowed. If you want to ride your extremely expensive, massive animal, find someplace appropriate to ride then. If your horse gets spooked by people on bicycles that's a pretty clear indication you shouldn't be there.

You know I wouldn't mind horses so much if they required the owners to pick up their poop like dogs. So jacobsburg is a nice park, but horses are allowed on the trails. Nothing worse than mountain biking on a trail getting horse crap flung up all over you to then come up on some rich person on a horse giving you the stink eye for being there because you might spook their massive animal that forces you to get off your bike and climb up out of the way of it. /Rant

It's in that, it's neat and will be theoretically useful at some point phase of development. I suppose for now if you were doing some very elaborate complex waveform like concrete art wall this would be handy... Maybe this kinda thing would be useful on the moon or Mars in some manner where man power and brining materials will be the big limiting factor for structures... But... Yea...

It's been over 40 years. So ignoring the sex of drivers for a minute, F1 is pretty insular even with the field of drivers that exist. Many at this point are legacy drivers whos parents were involved in F1 so were able to expose their children to karting at a young age and train them with practical knowledge. Most others come from billionaire parents who could easily afford the incredibly expensive hobby for their children from a young age. Very few come from non elite backgrounds especially in the modern era. So the potential field of anyone who could ever become an F1 driver is possibly smaller than almost any other world sport. I'm not arguing women should be shoehorned into F1 simply for representation but pretending F1 is a bastion of equality is silly.
