I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.

    I'm not sure how often those happen, maybe it's still easy money

  • Question for Star Wars people:

    There's a person I see at work who has their car decked out in Sith stuff. Vanity license plate says Sith, pro-Sith stickers, the empire butthole logo where the vehicles manufacturer logo would go, etc.

    Aren't the Sith unredeemable evil? I haven't watched any Star wars besides Andor, so maybe I'm missing some lore where the Sith are rehabilitated or something.

    It's so weird to me to make loving the baddies of a film a big part your identity. Wondering if this is the red flag it seems to be.

  • I do clear their front sidewalk every storm, but I have no idea if they even know I'm doing it or care since they have a plow guy who clears the side of the building they use to get to their cars.

    I guess they'll say something if it bothers them too much

  • I just looked and they actually aren't that much more than the one I currently own. I worry about parts availability in future, though. From googling it does appear the EGo has had tons of problems keeping up with replacement parts availability.

    My experience with snowblowers is they need constant repairs. The parts are cheap, and the repairs aren't hard, but there's lots of little things that wear out. Especially where I live because we get multi-foot snowfalls nearly every year.

  • I have to go be a shitty neighbor and run my snowblower at 5am. I'm running this loud as hell machine 2 feet from someone's window. I shovel whenever it's feasible, but that's not possible today, I have to work in an hour.

    I guess that's part of living where it snows. Last time I did it they had lights on, so maybe they either go to bed late or get up early.

  • What does your pet like to "supervise" you doing?

    Jump

  • My partner an I make the bed together every night and the cat supervises this. It's more like getting in the way than supervising, though.

    Just this year he's finally figured out how to remain on the bed while we do it. For well over 10 years he'd jump up, get covered by the sheet, find the edge of the bed, jump down and then back up on top. Repeat with every blanket.

    Finally he figured out that he can go to the head of the bed to get out from under the blankets without jumping down. Only took doing it 3650 or so times to realize this

  • Great post. I really didn't think about it that way.

    I guess I just assumed bad intentions or incompetence from my personal dealings with social security.

  • Selling the rights to public infrastructure is hot business these days.

    Texas has toll roads that were built with public money that were owned from inception by private companies. One of which they had to buy back for a huge premium because they jacked the tolls up.

    Chicago parking meters are owned by a hedge fund, local water companies are being sold to private companies all over the nation.

    It's a great business model, bribe once and collect fees for 100 years. It's basically like how kings would sell the right to tax areas to the highest bidder.

  • Trying to remember the first website I ever visited.

    Jump

  • I went to a technical high school where you got to learn a trade and academics on alternating weeks. I went because one of the trade shops was computer programming/repair.

    They gave us access to a dialup Internet server at University of Massachusetts, but it wasn't TCP/IP, it just dropped you into a purely text based Linux terminal. My first web access was using Lynx through that, but I can't remember what the first page I would have used. Probably Archie, since the only thing it was useful for(to me at least) at that point was finding files to download via gopher.

  • They absolutely could have owned the property as joint tenants legally, but it's possible that they couldn't secure a mortgage with his name on it. Even that happens, but it would have been more complicated and probably jacked up the interest rates.

  • A second hand flagship phone from 1 or 2 generations ago can be a great bargain. Much better value than current gen budget phones. I dunno if you can order from swappa, but that's where I get mine.

  • Isn't that leaving a lot of money on the table over time?

    I have about half my money in vanguard index funds. I don't like being so invested in Tesla and Microsoft, but any time I look at alternatives, the returns or fees change my mind because over time the difference ends up being a ton of money.

    I get that treasuries are safer, but I feel like the stock market is propping up America so much that any long term failure of the stock market would mean the end of America and thus treasuries as well.
