For a Mint replacement (which I’m still angry about), might I suggest Simplifi by Quicken? For me it’s mostly been a one-to-one replacement, after getting over a few… eccentricities. I could never get into YNAB because it’s so manual. I want something automatic, and Simplifi scratches that itch.

The catch: it’s not free.

My brother is an audiologist and hates doing a certain hearing test, because it’s boring. The way he describes it, he hands the patient a button and a pair of headphones, then goes into the next room.

He has a row of dials. He turns the first one until the patient pushes the button. He writes down how high the dial got, then turns it off and moves on to the next dial. Repeat for like 20 dials.

Then at the end, he has to draw a graph BY HAND, highlighting certain features.

There is precisely 0% chance that this requires a trained audiologist to do. Maybe to interpret, but not to collect data.

Why would a sponsor pay for an ad if they know nobody will watch? Its not magic money out of nowhere; the sponsor has to come out net positive or else they stop sponsoring.

Do you think that might have something to do with why he’s portrayed as a clown?

I respectfully submit that the US should send tutors to teach English to our wayward Anglophone brothers.

I do this - it makes it taste better if you emulsify the jelly into the peanut butter. Qualitative differences ftw!

Very interesting! I’ve never heard of adding fluoride to table salt, but I can’t see why not!

lol, I wonder how they staff “70-ish pizzerias per person”. That’s one hell of a short-staffed environment! 1/70th of an employee per shop!

Denver seems pretty big… how much bigger were you wanting?

Two weeks! What do you do, such that you’re meeting new people so frequently? I don’t think I’ve met anyone new in years!

Who wrote this? I’m supposed to be upset that a bunch of big websites are lower on Google results? Why should anyone besides their shareholders care?

Edit: Oh, he co-founded the website hosting this article. So he does indeed have a vested personal interest.

I’m not sure ksp is popular/broad-based enough to generate much of an uproar. I’m unhappy about it, but most people just see another headline.

So… why are the guards not being arrested for child endangerment? Why is this a lawsuit and not a criminal matter?

This example was provided as an estimated upper limit - you could drive to basically the furthest-away big city within 60 hours. Other cities would be substantially less than that, because that’s an upper limit.

Driving from a small town on the western tip of NC… let’s say Franklin, NC, to Washington DC takes only 8 hours… but driving to Knoxville, TN or Atlanta, GA would only take you 2 hours.

If that drive takes you “days” by car, you might have an issue.

Gave me a chuckle to see “have kids, move away, go to prison, and die” listed as a typical life trajectory.

You don’t recognize the ruling party on the Chinese mainland? What is this, Taiwan?

I think there’s a disconnect here. You’re saying that every state uses violence to maintain their rule/internal stability, which is true. But you’re responding in a thread that’s pointing out how weird it is to support LGBT rights on the one hand and support Russia and China on the other, where same-sex couples are not treated equally under the law. So I’m not asking “why are you ok with state-monopolized force”. I’m asking “why are you ok with these particular states”.
