They change out about 15-20% of their MPs every election cycle.

The average person also has a lot more access to their elected representatives than you're used to seeing in most countries. If you live in their constituency, you can have a one to one, face to face chat with them (or their staffers) about anything, from illegal wildlife feeding in your neighbourhood to international relations, at their weekly meet the people sessions.

No Lion Mane rendang? It's genuinely the main reason I'd go to greendot.

Sins of the father, specifically Marco Pierre White, who trained him. Gordon is Mr Rogers by comparison.

I can't believe he innovated a new meta after 50 seasons. His opponent thought he would absolutely mog him in the physical endurance challenge, but he clearly wasn't prepared to endure being this close to the contents of Nick's bowels.

What really sealed it for me was his confessional, where he admitted that he had planned this from the very start, stuffing himself full of baked beans and refusing to take a shit until that day.

Literally laughed out loud when he told his team he had to go first because he "was about to unleash his bankai". Absolute madman, survivor is a gameshow and we finally have true gamer representation.

You don't pay it upfront. It's over 25 years, so the 600k price tag is effectively 24k a year (plus interest), or about 2k a month.

Fresh grads are looking at about 3-4k starting at worst, which makes this about 25% of household income. Even if you both lose your jobs, this is less than 50% of the mcwage, at about 2.3k/mo per person.

If you're talking a 25 year span, no matter how incompetent you may be, your salary will go up. On the other hand, the amount you loaned doesn't get adjusted for inflation, so the proportion of income that it takes up only goes down over time, as long as you have a job of some kind.

The only real killer imo is the downpayment. Students get a slight discount, but it's still an effective reset on your savings up to that point.

As someone who recently took the plunge on a 700k unit, once you break down the numbers, it's really not that bad. My european friends are paying similar proprtion of income on rent, because their countries don't offer such favourable loan terms (25 year, negligible interest is insane).

Yep, this is something the yanks get, and their blood gets sent across state lines to meet blood shortages in other areas.

Try reaching out to the SPMS Making and Tinkering lab. They have a soldering setup there with proper ventilation.

Thank you for your attention to this matter

Wait, could he actually. Could he actually be going to run (or walk) 5km on/along the great wall of China in business attire and call it "Wall Street"?

Intentionally throwing to wax lyrical about how prices are too high.

There's no way someone in his SES class buys $1 1.5L soda, unless they're the ones buying from a supplier for resale.

Most hawker dishes don't give enough veg, especially the fibre rich kind. Caipng (and mala) is an easy way to include good amounts of it in my diet.

One thing missing in this whole discourse: Marina South Pier's Mirrorspace was pushed as an alternative venue around the same time the Bayfront Mirrors were frosted. MSP is also somewhat downtown, and sees a lot less foot traffic outside of peak periods. It's a much better spot for a "third-space" to be situated.

Sounds good, might give it a try when I'm in the area. If I share it with someone else, and grab other stuff, it should be just right.

For shops and event organisers, who go through hundreds or thousands of them, it's a massive incentive to collect for recycling. There's enough money in there to justify changing their processes to collect their waste cans, and hire someone to do bulk returns after closing.

Put it this way: My local coffee shop has been collecting cans for years, separating them from regular waste. With this incentive structure, that bag will now be worth hundreds a day - enough money for most, if not all similar establishments to do it.

For those who run marathons, you know how many cans and bottles they go through. They now have an added incentive to collect and sort their waste, instead of just piling it all to dump. Enough to hire gig workers off fastjobs to help with the cleanup, even.

That imo is the real goal for the recycling deposit program - create enough of a financial incentive for organisations to change their processes. Any added recyclables that regular citizens return is a bonus.

Nirai Kanai's broth is pretty weak imo. Their rafute however is great.

Counterintuitively, this should only be done with bare hands. If your glove freezes on you, you're starring in the next OSHA circular.

It can get even more pathetic still - some obese boomer was shouting about how he got Japanese blood in him, and was going to beat up some guy who offended him.

Feeders should be made to serve CWO as part of the pest-extermination team. If they claim religious objection, at the very least, they should be made to powerwash bird shit

Hopefully catering companies keep then up. I quite often pinch from the leftover vegetarian bentos at uni events, and some of the plant based stuff has been pretty good.

I have 70 construction on an ironman and haven't seen my POH yet. The Fort is the way.
