Means testing has been shown to cost significantly more. That’s why I’m a fan of universal programs and not welfare programs (like the one in this study).
I would argue someone making six figures getting 10% more will have a big impact still. Give everyone the benefit, even billionaires. Using your argument, the billionaire won’t care about getting an extra $1,000 - that’s nothing to them. But no one feels “cheated” because you arbitrarily put the limit, and you know no one else is cheating the system because there is no system to cheat!
Paying for universal programs would require changing our tax structure, which I’m also supportive of.
Another Memmy user here - if you’re a fan of Apollo Memmy is the perfect substitute!
Is being a law enforcement officer a protected class?
Saying something like “I refuse to serve you in the basis of your race” is illegal because race is a protected class. Whereas “I refuse to serve you because your Lemmy hit-takes are dumb” is perfectly legal! Same as refusing to serve armed thugs masquerading as the good guys.
By your logic I suggest you avoid any building constructed in the US as nothing would ever be safe enough.
Those are not even remotely the same thing.
Politicians lying is a bad thing. Politicians making laws that harm Americans for things that they do themselves is worse. It’s lying plus damaging our society.
Clinton lying about his affair didn’t impact any other American other than Monica Lewinsky and his wife.
Costco can stop you from leaving either. They can however revoke your membership for breaking the terms. But if you not longer care about you membership you ignore them like the Walmart checkers
Music industry seemed to figure it out pretty well. Except for a few rare case outliers, it doesn’t matter if I’m using Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon music, etc. Sure they all have different features, but I can blast Taylor Swift to my heart’s content and never leave one app
This is not a bad thing. It is always a good thing when humans can be freed to do non-repetitive tasks. Or would you prefer to return to weaving your own clothes?
Hey! I was using Memmy as well, but stopped a couple weeks ago since the developers aren’t doing much on there (no shade to them - it’s a free project so I appreciate what they did at all!). I recently switched to Voyager and it’s been seamless and appears to be better supported.
Voyager still has some slight bugs but it’s pretty good
Doing extra payments when you have a 2% loan is just throwing money away. Savings accounts rates are minimum 4% right now - put your extra payments there if you’re super risk adverse. If you’re less risk adverse, buy mutual funds that match the market.
No. The original comment said the “worst disaster made a very small she’s of the planet uninhabitable”. Keep in mind this disaster was the result of Soviet incompetence and completely avoidable with standards implemented in the US.
They’re saying our “worst case scenario” using nuclear power is better than worst case scenario continuing to use fossil fuels.
Likelihood of worse case scenario using nuclear power is also extremely low. Whereas worst case scenario (billions of people dying) for continuing to use fossil fuels is EXTREMELY HIGH.
What’s wrong with his horse? I’m no Reagan-stan but we don’t need to be taking shots at his horse!
/s for those need it
Not OP but I do use AdterShokz! I bought them during Black Friday sale last year and love them! I also do a lot of running and cycling - very nice to have the background song playing while also being aware of my surroundings! I also do a lot of late night walks listening to podcasts - I feel much more comfortable knowing I could hear someone approaching me.
I listen when to music / podcasts doing chores around the house. My wife doesn’t realize alot of the times and starts talking to me and I miss first half of what she said. I told my wife when buying them I’d be able to hear her now! Turns out I listen too loud still and can’t comprehend what she is saying when first talking while headphones are still playing. So… don’t use that as buying excuse :)
That’s why there are lots of regulations for things impacting life safety. With a nuclear power plant, you mitigate the disaster potential by having so many more people involved in the design and inspection processes.
The risk of an electrician installing faulty wiring in your home could be mitigated by having a third party inspector review the work. Now do that 1000x over and your risk of “politicians are paid off” is negligible.
Yes - developers did a big refresh recently. Closest thing to Apollo I’ve seen
Don’t be ridiculous. A bunch of little saws will do just fine
Check out Memmy!!! I’m using it now and love it
Kansas. Drop the “Ark”. The police are bad like the rest of the country but at least there’s not as much cousin-marriage.
Republicans typically have SS at least - tbd on third S
After all that growth - you’re still focusing on how you landed a girl /s
Congrats and good luck in your future marriage!

I’m going to have to re-read Project Hail Mary cause I’ve seen it recommended so many times, but I personally didn’t love it. I’m big Andy Wier fan - and absolutely loved The Martian.
With PHM, it felt like there were too many situations/problems that were created and then easily solved by the narrator. Each problem was a little too outlandish to then have a convenient solution right away.
I’m using Reolink and highly recommend it. Without a doubt the best bang for your buck. I bought a bundle on Black Friday a couple years ago with the 2TB NVR and 4 cameras (5MP POE) for a couple hundred dollars, and I’ve since expanded to 6 cameras.
I’m in the process of setting up a NAS, so hoping I can get reolink backed up on it for easy access.
Don’t forget preventing needed military promotions leaving multiple branches without command and hurting our defense readiness!!!
And that’s just the start of what they’re doing :)
Roadways that charge your vehicle as you drive on them would be even cooler
Based on comments above - I’m confident SME stands for “Seinfeld Management Explainer”

Hard to tuck a pencil in the ear when also wearing safety glasses and hearing protection.
I also have Mint - it’s fine. I pay $66 for 3 months at a time of 15gb data per month. It’s a little annoying you have to buy in 3 month increments using the family plan discount, but still way better than the 2 year contracts of most providers. My service experience has been alright - every once in while it’ll be slow on me but that’s pretty rare. I’d cautiously recommend it if you’re looking to switch. Worst case scenario you’re only out a few dollars if you don’t buy the year long plan.
Often times the price is the same whether you’re using Credit Card or paying cash. That means the X% fees the business pays to credit card companies is built into the price of your purchase. I’d you’re not paying with a credit (and hence not getting cashback) you’re actually losing money / paying more.

I agree with the sentiment, but from a legal standpoint individuals who are subpoenaed don’t get to set the terms. The GOP is is hypocritical as shit and it’s ridiculous they’re doing this sham investigation to begin with AND they should have accepted Hunters counter to testify publicly. But, a subpoena is still a subpoena.
Where did I say you said it’s a bad thing? Lol.
I’m pointing out there are legitimate places for a towel hook with hidden camera to be located. Something used for illegal activity is on the onus of the person performing the illegal act, not the manufacturer or distributor of the tool.
If something is only used for illegal activity, then I agree Amazon would have culpability.
No one is blaming the hammer manufacturer or Home Depot for selling a hammer to the guy who attacked Pelosi’s husband. You blame the moron for being a trash human. Same is true here - there are legitimate uses of a towel hook camera. Placing one in the bathroom is not one of them, and the person who placed it there is the only person at fault.
You do realize just cause it’s called a “towel hook”doesn’t mean it only holds towels, right? Also - towels aren’t exclusively hung in bathrooms.
Whenever I see headlines like this I read “technological advancement is bad cause I don’t understand it”.
