  • Couple left with $200k bill after baby born in US

  • different causes: people are having less kids in the US because they're living in misery, whereas in europe we've long had fewer kids because better education and less need to have 8 kids so one of them survives and can take care of you as you get old.

  • i saw a video of a system like that in action, guy left it running for a good long while and then dumped out a PILE of dead mosquitoes (and only mosquitoes)

    I just want to check though: Do you wear motorbike safety gear? Because you REALLY REALLY should, e-scooters are great but the one thing they are not is safe (if you go faster than a moderate run).

  • huh? these are image results on duckduckgo, why wouldn't the duckduckgo "hide ai images" option work?

  • what i've done is simply lower the power of my 2.4GHz network so i have reliable coverage in my apartment, but by the time i've walked 2 floors down my phone is utterly unable to even see the network.

    super simple way to avoid polluting the local airwaves, though i presume it's not really something you can do on most standard router interfaces..

  • Men have lost our sense of style 😔

  • even if i did, why on earth would i blow it on something so utterly pointless as a suit?

    Return to medieval peasant's clothing: cheap simple fabrics dyed with flowers and stuff.

    Jump

  • yes, through the magic of eliminating every expense i can.My expenses are: Rent, electricity, internet, phone service, home insurance, bus ticket (in the winter), and food (of which i've been steadily finding cheaper and cheaper things to cook, most recently discovering that you can just fry the shit out of mixed frozen vegetables and it tastes amazing).

    It's slightly terrifying to see what other people spend money on, like paying 5€ for a SINGLE CUP OF COFFEE.. Or, like, owning a car at all. Buddy maybe you could afford to heat your luxurious mansion if you weren't blowing half your fucking income on a living room with 4 wheels?

    An incredible amount of people, probably most people, just seem to be fundamentally incapable of recognizing expenses as being expenses. Their brain just classes that cup of coffee as something required to live and thus the cost doesn't exist. They'll buy it every single day, even as it doubles in cost, and i'm not sure if the act of paying even consciously registers.

  • there's no point to a budget if you minimize all costs anyways, and it means i get a surprise amount left over at the end of every month which i can do whatever i want with.

    Which is usually just letting it pile up because i don't know if my welfare will be denied at some point and having that buffer means i can afford to replace things every now and then.

How did i not realize this before?!I- I can't go on like this, the knowledge of how suboptimal it all is gnaws at my very soul.. To the depths with adventuring, i must join the civil council and rectify this atrocity.
