These minibusses or dollar vans don't have strong brands that you would recognize. They often operate in a legal grey area, so they're deliberately anonymous looking if you aren't in the know.

This can be seen as backlash politics, where deeply rooted racial divisions are used to convince large groups to vote against their own interests in order to withhold any benefit to lesser groups. Two excellent books that explore this issue are The Politics of Resentment and Dying of Whiteness.

You're in luck! There's a dozen Superchargers available right in downtown Lone Pine: https://www.plugshare.com/location/60596

The extra customers are people who can’t afford to buy whatever nonessential product is being hawked, unless it is on a payment plan.

BNPL just encourages overspending by the most precarious consumers, ensuring that they will never get ahead.

This is exactly the same way that It’s A Wonderful Life became a much-revered Christmas classic. If the copyright hadn’t expired allowing monthlong TV marathons, it would have faded into obscurity. How many people remember The Best Years of Our Lives, which beat it out for multiple Oscars in 1947?

The average price of new cars sold in the US last year was nearly $50k. The manufacturers make more money from expensive cars than cheap cars, and people keep buying them, so that's what they sell. Before they canceled the Fit, Honda was selling almost 10 times as many of the larger CR-V each year.

You can find numerous new cars for sale in Mexico for under $15k USD.[0] Even Europe has several new cars under €20k.[1] These are the same manufacturers we have here, but lower cost models that are only sold in lower-income countries.

It's a shame that riders of bikes and scooters in your city feel so unsafe riding on the road, that they are forced onto the sidewalks. Blame dangerous drivers and the lack of protected bike lanes though, not your neighbors who are just trying to arrive at their destinations alive.

Pedestrian collisions with bikes versus collisions with automobiles are utterly incomparable both in number and severity. If that cyclist had been driving a car, you would probably need to find a new nanny!

Nothing says freedom like being required to spend thousands of dollars just to get around and participate in society. Imagine how "free" the roughly one-third of folks who are too young, too old, too disabled, etc. to drive a car feel when trying to go about their lives.

Check out their financial statements. Half their revenue is eaten up by sales and marketing.

The Unbranded UB301 is probably a good place to start.

There's an RSS feed in the source code: https://www.eugenewei.com/blog?format=rss

Don't forget the two-thirds of gun violence that only involves a single private party, and doesn't pose any risk to an unrelated tourist visiting the country.

Can you access the direct URL of the PDF? https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w33576/w335...

Can you elaborate on this? The app (both versions!) barely works, and they don’t appear to be compatible with Apple Home like others.

Anyone who would downplay the value of an office manager has never appreciated a great office manager. Most offices do not have a competent (if any) office manager, which is something we should all demand of our workplaces.

>It’s not like the experimentor can issue a placebo to themselves.

TFA describes a protocol for doing just that. The author randomly selected between the treatment dose and placebo. They didn't reveal the choice until after the effect should be complete so they could record the results.

There's no profit motive behind reducing consumption to lower emissions, so it's not a message being pushed by companies. It's obviously the easiest way for most people to reduce their environmental impact though, but it's always been very unpopular to tell people to 'spend less, save more.'

Where did you find this? I can't seem to find an original source anywhere.

As Rick Owens put it:

Working out is modern couture. No outfit is going to make you look or feel as good as having a fit body. Buy less clothing and go to the gym instead.

Would an AGI that is “intelligent” enough to replace any kind of human labor deserve independent personhood and remuneration, or would they just be the perfect slave to capital?

There's no shortage of careers with fast-paced work environments requiring creative problem solving that would be well-suited to a person with ADHD.

Anything creative or artistic, healthcare, tech, sales, skilled trades, restaurants, etc.

If the "reality" you are trying to prepare your child for is becoming an accountant/banker/lawyer/bureaucrat, then you will probably all be disappointed.

Temporary body paint would be acceptable, and necessary for athlete identification in larger events like triathlon and marathon.

The soft HDPE bottles are actually more heat and impact resistant than the rigid clear polycarbonate ones. They’re the standard recommendation for winter hiking.

Also CBC.ca/lite as well.

30% of the US can’t drive, whether because of disability, age, financial hardship, immigration status, or any number of other reasons. Why don't you hold the current system of "motorized transport" to the same impossible standard of solving all transportation needs as you expect of bikes?

>and I'm not being out of pocket for work.

Are you paid for the time spent commuting? Are your transportation expenses fully reimbursed?
