They recently closed a course near me and now they’ve stripped out all the trees and are building a 300 acre development of McMansions. The course was also a home to deer and wild turkey, several stands of nice old hardwoods, some ponds with ducks and geese. Be careful what you wish for.

What? You have it backwards. 0 withholdings means the largest amount withheld on your paycheck, and a higher refund end of year.

“Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better”

Ahh yes, the “i have nothing to hide why do I need privacy” argument.

Do you close your curtains or lower the blinds? Lock your front door? You must be a criminal.

(In the US) No, you are either misuderstanding unemployment or you read wrong information. There is no such elgiblity requirement in any state.

File for unemployment. You have nothing to lose by trying. Get an official decline, and even then, dispute it.

The real issue is that we have a rapidly aging workforce and there’s not enough young people to replace them. With the average age of parents raising, the gap is getting larger. In the 50s it was 16 workers for every 1 retired. The 70s, 5:1. That number is now almost 2:1. This is bad. Very bad.

Higher bar for jobs. Lower wage for entry level. Later retiring age. Higher need for migrant and seasonal workers.

It’s a mucus membrane, what else would it be?

I know what Coachella is… take your own advice dipshit

When and where did they claim they were going to be holding a rally at Coachella Festival Grounds? The average person probably doesn’t even realize Coachella is the name of a music festival, let alone a city in California…

Fuck trump either way lol

For using msbuild or vsbuild to build C projects.

Can be installed standalone but it’s typically just easier to install the full VS suite because on a shared runner it’s better to include the entire kitchen.

A large foundation for the belief in critical periods for language are based on Genie, a feral child who was entirely unable to learn a spoken language despite significant efforts. Today, she can use some sign language but cannot speak.

So the answer is largely believed to be: No. You cannot learn a spoken language if you missed the critical period.

It’s also literally impossible to test/study ethically, so nobody actually knows.

The no-poo (no shampoo) movement is very real and definitely works for many people (dependant on hair type and oil secretions). Basically, once you stop washing away your natural oils daily, the production normalizes and then a regular rinse with water and occasionally something like diluted soap, lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.

I’ve met them, I was one, I know them. You wouldn’t know unless they told you.

But also onions release oils when the cell walls are cut so the more cut ones have a stronger flavor

However, who replaces the aging workforce? Who pays for social security? Back in the 60s, it was a ratio of 6 workers per 1 retired. Now, it’s 3:1. Soon, it’ll be 2:1. That’s bad. Very bad.

A smaller working population and a large inactive population create huge labour shortages which must be filled by migrant labour which creates additional problems.

One solution is enabling people to work for longer but this is challenging. Do we push the retirement age to 75? What about the declining health and abilities of ther population.

People are having children much later than normal. Births under the age of 20 have dropped 90% in the last 10 years. We are aging faster than we are replacing.

…? Context?

Humans, and other animals, produce DMT in their brain. It’s not unreasonable for someone to read that octopus can make their own MDMA and assume it’s a real statement. Someone literally responded, can’t tell if you’re joking.
