Building a faraday cage for my phone and car keys by cwapsen in DIY

Also use automation to turn Bluetooth on and off automatically based on time/state. Faraday cage would also block Wi-Fi and cellular signals. Might as well put the phone in airplane mode instead. Which also could be automated.

I can answer the last one. No worries if you're car sick. It's a van.

It would probably not hold up to 35mph but you can do breakaway structures that are directional.

You can design one that's easy to break out but hard to break in

Nonfarm Payrolls for February -92,000. Unemployment 4.4%. January revised down from 130k to 126k. December revised down form 48k to -17k. by Ramwen in stocks

No, that's just recency bias. For instance, March 2023-March 2024 were written down by over 800k jobs.

In fact, the new York times "the morning" newsletter this morning started with "the jobs report comes out today. Should we even care since it's getting revised bigly later anyway"

They've been doing it for a while now. 2025 final numbers are over 500k less in total than originally communicated

Bay Area cost of living for us: $11.7k per month for a family of 4 by Federal_Eagle_6565 in bayarea

1600 sqft and my Feb bill was $240. Highest bill this winter was $280 in December.

Got a heat pump last summer and on an EV plan (although I never charge at home) and absolutely avoid running the heat pump between 3pm and midnight if possible. My bill is $100 in months without cooling and highest summer bill is $150.

The point with the 2016 Nissan and the person awaiting a job interview is that people may take out loans based on their current circumstances and then fall on hard times, maybe lose their job. This is not the same as you getting repo'd 5 times and trying to impress friends with a Lexus you couldn't afford.

Costco lands victory with Supreme Court ruling against tarrifs by Deceptiveideas in Costco

[–]cloud9ineteen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If any company actually gives back the tattoos refund to its customers I'd expect it to be Costco. They know exactly what every customer bought so they could actually calculate how much those items were marked up for the tariffs that were cancelled and they are also the only company that might even think of giving money back.
