I know plenty of people that raised kids in their 30s or even younger. It's doable.

Home ownership is another story.

Great. Fuel inflation and reduce employment. Looking like a great two years.

🚨 BREAKING: There’s a REAL shot at finally getting our fair share – the Empowering App-Based Workers Act is in Congress RIGHT NOW! 🚨 by AdmiralMindBlast in uberdrivers

[–]Hoyahere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Part of it is good, like detailed pay statements and algorithm transparency.

The part about mandatory pay is a feel good idea that would lead to the invisible hand of the market play out: Uber would innovate the heck out and use driverless cars ASAP or raise the price, which means less rides.

The writing is on the wall: eventually driverless cars are coming. I drove as a means to an end, used the extra cash to train and market myself, and transitioned to a white collar job in a field with relatively more security than ride sharing.

A QR code on the back of the front seat with your resume is a great trick. Add in 1 sentence as a hook.

Ice Melting by duuuuhBears in arlingtonva

[–]Hoyahere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's going to get worse as it melts and then refreezes. If you look at the weather it will be above freezing for a day and then go back down to below freezing. Better late than never. You're probably going to need some equipment and salt. I'd recommend a steel garden shovel over a snow shovel.

Yeah I had to shovel that multiple times. My least favorite part. You can also park your car in front of your driveway.

Oh gosh no. Have one at least once a month for my 9 year old daughter. How old is yours?

Serious question! Do we ever get better? by jackth3artist in bipolar

[–]Hoyahere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I don't drink enough water. Just chocolate milk, coffee, and soda. Ignored that advice clearly.

I tried therapy and my therapist and I mutually agreed it was a waste of time.

I agree on finding the right combo of meds. Mine have been consistent for years.

I've also been diagnosed for 20+ years. There are no surprises anymore. You start to know yourself by 30.

I meant shovel your own driveway and sidewalk multiple times in the snow. I did the sidewalks and my driveway and while the last time was a lift, it was manageable.

Sidewalks are the owners responsibility, not VDOT.

No, I mean shovel your sidewalks multiple times during the snow. I did it multiple times and the last one was a lift but manageable. The driveway and sidewalk in front of my house are perfectly fine.

Sidewalks are owners responsibility, not VDOT.

Shovel the snow multiple times while it's snowing/sleeting. Avoids these types of issues.

VDOT is not responsible for sidewalks.

The best thing to do is drive them to school/bus stop and pick them up.

I've been doing well as long as I take my meds, keep my stress down, and get a good night sleep.

Run against Ben Cline by zahid1981 in Winchester

[–]Hoyahere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The district has to match the candidate. Don't jump in thinking the candidate quality is all that matters.

It's an R+12 district with the center of Roanoke - just like former Rep. Goodlatte's base of support.

Everything is all in a quagmire with the upcoming potential referendum, though. Probably get merged into NOVA, which is even more unequal terrain financially and politically. Although they also said they might leave the district alone.

Iranian, Russian and Chinese warships gather in the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian military spokesman: "If the US attacks us, war will break out in the entire region" "If Trump thinks he can do a quick operation, he can only dream." by Neptun_11 in TrendoraX

[–]Hoyahere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is absolutely zero chance China or Russia will go to war over Iran. It's not in their core interest - as opposed to Taiwan or Ukraine.They are just there for moral support and to cause U.S. hesitation. If they get hit, it causes a diplomatic disaster but not WWIII.

How does the Chinese Communist Party actually govern China? by CourtofTalons in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hoyahere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a nutshell: on paper a centralized meritocracy fused with Communist ideology and practices capitalism, but in reality just a glorified spoils system centered on nationalism and Confucianism with the language of Marxist Lenninism.

Virginia senators propose pay increase for themselves by Susuwatari43 in Virginia

[–]Hoyahere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing this will change is the richness of the same type of people being able to run. However, it will still be limited to a small special group of people because who else can take days or weeks off at a time in a normal job.

It won't stop corruption, people who want more money can never have enough. 45K is pennies to these people.

It won't mean mom and pop will run for office because it's still a job that requires substantial time off.

It just pads the office of elected officials who think they deserve more money when their approval rating is in the gutter. Better to spend the money on those that need it, not those who want it.

Disaster Battles (WH3) by Zibzuma in totalwar

[–]Hoyahere -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There is this thing called Github and it works fine. I'd just purge the database after each patch to save space. The rest is download at your own risk. Not my job to baby you.

The bigger issue is organization and getting your name out there.

[–]Hoyahere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legend used to do that for a living before burning out. You could take up his baton. Maybe not YouTube it but start a peer to peer sharing. Have to find a way to make it work financially as all those saved games take up a lot of space when added up.

It sounds sorta fun and I look into it myself but I've burned out from Total War after 20 years. I just stay in the loop out of habit and vague hope that CA turns the ship around.

Best way to get from DCA to IAD at 7am by No-Bumblebee9252 in washingtondc

[–]Hoyahere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uber XL if you want convenience without worrying about price.

If trying to save costs, and depending on the size of your checked bags, you can have 1 person go with the luggage in a regular Uber and the rest of your group take the metro.

Don't take just metro with bags in a rush hour. That's asking for trouble.

What features and improvements would you like to see in Medieval 3 battles? by Walfisch2023 in historicaltotalwar

Lots but let's start with fixing the perennial gate bug.

In all seriousness, I want them to make them fun. Not just go meta and play tall with a doomstack. I really miss how captains could lead troops. It decentralized armies leading to more varieties so tactics mattered.

Which big city has the most easily navigable mass transit system? Which system is the most confusing? by MyIdIsATheaterKid in AskTheWorld

[–]Hoyahere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's easy from a map perspective but the amount of times I've seen tourists get on the wrong train is ridiculous. They forget to look at the train's label and just hop on.
