Speaking anecdotally, I've always heard "living paycheck-to-paycheck" to mean having insufficient savings to cover a missed paycheck

I.e. if you don't get an expected paycheck then you cannot pay your monthly debts/utilities/rent and still have enough money to feed.yourself and your dependents

It's inherently problematic that the DEA is in charge of scheduling

Rescheduling marijuana would likely lead to a lower budget for the DEA... No way is the DEA going to voluntarily lower the scheduling of such a widely used drug

It seems strange to me that the framing of this is all about child labor laws--no one should have died working at any of these jobs, regardless of age--and OSHA is investigating all three incidents

Spez has never had the gift of foresight. Reddit was Paul Graham's idea after he shot down the idea that Huffman and Ohanian pitched

I think they might mean they wish Apple would support RCS in general (which Apple has been refusing to do)

Oh, absolutely. If you click through to the Quicken press release they have a small section defining their methodology but don't list the specific questions

I wish more people appreciated the lengths that Pew et al. go through to both minimize and recognize sources of bias, confusion, etc

The 400ft tall silo was near Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota and was known to be owned by a company from China

None of that has any tie to the company that bought land near Travis AFB

Land purchased by a Chinese company near one US AFB doesn't logically imply that any purchased land near a US AFB is a Chinese spy operation

Because his legal defense wasn't based on claiming attorney-client; it was based on the idea that he was just asking legal hypotheticals to / legal advice from legal experts

Now two of these lawyers have taken plea deals to (presumably) testify against Trump. Also, by virtue of the guilty plea in this case where Trump is a codefendant, that privilege would likely be voided anyway

That section of the TOS was removed in 2023

he’ll give mostly equivocations, pleas to the 5th, non-remembrances, and non-answer answers that mostly cover his own ass and deflect blame from the GOP th

That's certainly what he's done in the media, but I'm not so sure that's how he'll respond when 1) he's answering narrow questions crafted by an experienced attorney and 2) he's answering questions after having sworn to God that he would tell the truth

Only engage with things you want to see more of. Downvoting and Not Interested are both forms of engagement.

Engagement metrics allow YouTube to show advertisers that you're actually looking at the page and not just letting it run in the background

Yeah a 400ft tall silo overlooking Minot AFB is concerning. It also has nothing to do with OPs article about Travis AFB

China does enough shady shit that we don't need baseless accusations being thrown around

Headline is a typo; it's "chyron"

Yeah, we could cut off every possible kind of funding to Israel and they'd still have sufficient military resources to level Gaza a hundred times over

How old are the blank DVDs? Consumer-writable DVDs degrade over time

Personally I don't think we should've been supplying them in the first place for the simple fact that they're more than suitably equipped already

I just think that if the goal is a ceasefire, neither continuing nor halting supplies would really move the needle. Want us to stop supplying them? Fine by me.

I believe that best practices are to commit locally whenever you want (generally any time you don't want to lose what you've done so far) but then do an interactive rebase to make your commits more coherent and more encapsulated before you make a pull request to get them merged into the branch on origin

Instead of click Not Interested, I recommend igoring them. It might take a few days or even a week, but I they should start to disappear from your feed

Is that conceptually asinine? Absolutely... But it's your best bet

Are you referring to 14A arguments outside of sec. 3? I ask because section 3 has only been applied to one non-confederate

Section 3 has been invoked since the Confederate issue was settled, but just once.

A few additional things to consider:

  • Accrued debt
  • Areas with highest cost of living tend to also be areas with relatively high population density (San Francisco is usually the go-to example for this)
  • Inflexibility of living in austerity
  • Intuit benefits from scaring people in the lower and middle economic classes

You'll still know what the numbers at the end mean

"Though Intel does promise to keep the generation of a chip noted in the codename, i.e. 'Core 9 15900K'." [1]

They get money based on the resources needed to tackle illegal drug manufacturing/sales/usage

The more widely used an illegal drug is, the more resources they need to fight it

I really like your post. I would like to add some comments, though
