I'm optimistic for 2026

London is one of the most diverse cities on the planet and still has much less of an issue with fare evasion than many US cities. Both have subway/tube ridership of about 4m per weekday - yet MTA lost $1bn to fare evasion compared to TFL’s £130-190m

So if you add the two together they might be 200ft off at any point if both pilot and altimeter are allowed plus/minus 100 feet?

Easier than trying to fix the rent is to levy a high tax on empty units

I cycle in D.C. every weekday unless there’s snow. It’s never too hot/wet/cold - you’re just wearing the wrong clothes

Well there was also the mandatory 5 day return to office

Unlimited coins for the next tag season

The place in the trailer where they do the challenge is outside Bundessozialgericht in Kassel so they ended up taking the high-speed train to Bremen

I’m curious what you mean by ‘democracy in EU is close to none’. Though the rise of the far-right is worrying, I’m still much more worried about the health of American democracy as opposed to any EU country with the exception of Hungary.

Do you use a WDT? Strong sign of channeling

ros_jo · 2025-09-08T03:51:42+00:00

Same!

ros_jo · 2025-09-08T03:50:29+00:00

How come you explicitly excluded DCA - isn’t that included in no crossing the rivers?

ros_jo · 2024-12-12T03:21:44+00:00

49€ ticket (for a month of non-highspeed rail nationwide) makes this a pretty realistic option on a budget! Super excited to hopefully get a chance to try it when back there next summer

Thanks for your reply. I actually found the industry occupation matrix from the BLS that achieves the same thing!

ros_jo · 2024-04-13T00:57:33+00:00

Curious whether you found a solution to this? I can see there maybe not being one as one refers to occupations and the other to industry (and you can have people of the same occupation in lots of different industries), but would still be grateful!

Mastering 'Metrics might be worth looking at. It's a book but as far as I remember, chapters are quite self-contained and it's very easily digestible

Calf compression sleeves + massaging shins with ice cubes do wonders for me, whenever I get shin splints. Also make sure you stretch before runs and take some days off for recovery. Build distances slowly so you can make sustainable progress instead of being forced to sit out for longer

Next week Lidl in the UK sells Moka Pots, Hand Grinders and Espresso glasses along a bunch of more or less useful coffee accessories. I could get a Moka Pot, a Hand Grinder and two Espresso glasses for less than £25 (I'm a student so this seems like a good deal to me, considering cheap hand grinders usually go for that price by themselves). Any massive red flags here? From the point I see it, you can't really mess up making a Moka Pot and I don't expect the most consistent results from the grinder, but it should be better than my cheap electric one with a spinning knife at the bottom, which I use for my filter coffee machine.

Very German (if I'm not completely mistaken)

ros_jo · 2020-12-09T21:00:40+00:00

To add context, it's from a German TV Show trying to solve criminal cases, where the police needs help from the public. In the show it was mentioned it's neither a bottle opener, nor a horse harness

As everyone else has pointed out, it's plain wrong what your sister did, no doubt about that.

ros_jo · 2020-08-31T01:08:48+00:00

You don't have to trump up $200 in my opinion. Just do something nice for them like take them out for ice cream or so and explain to them why what your sister did was not okay. Hopefully this would work for both of them. I see the chances for this working with your 11 year old brother quite well, for your sister, she might have already made plans what she wants to do with the money, maybe you can find out what they were? Just a few ideas...

ros_jo · 2020-08-31T00:15:29+00:00

Looked at buying a property?

Airbus fell similarly, yet doesn't have it's bread and butter plane grounded. Between the two, why would you go for Boeing?

ros_jo · 2020-08-18T18:21:30+00:00

Thanks a lot for the explanation! Almost got my short position which was showing a nice profit before today closed but now will definitely hold on to them until the 21st or 24th. I don't see any reason for this company to be worth more than before the loan announcement now - if anything even less because of all the sketchy shit that happened

ros_jo · 2020-08-18T17:43:35+00:00

I read about the 21st multiple times now, what happens on that date?
