How does the math work out on that? I'm not quite sure what home prices are like in the UK, but let's say you bought a house for 350k and paid cash. That leaves 400k. You retire at 30, and conservatively have 40 more years to live. That's only 10k/year for the rest of your life. You still have expenses such as home insurance, car insurance, consumables, etc. Doesn't seem like much. To be fair I'm also not factoring in any kind of pension or social security or anything like that.
They are saying the return to office mandate will cause the best performers (who are likely more confident in securing another job) to quit first, not that everyone shouldn't be WFH.
No, sorry if that wasn't clear. She was telling the story to me and my parents, "he" was the man she'd been on a date with at the same restaurant previously.
I took my current gf and my parents to a nice restaurant last night. She mentioned she'd only been there once before, on a date, and that the only reason they went to that restaurant (very $$$) is because he had a gift card and was going to cover the meal. Orders all kinds of expensive stuff. The bill comes and then supposedly he realizes his gift card, if it actually existed in the first place, was for a different restaurant. She ended up having to pay on her CC because he had no other forms of payment. Obviously didn't work out for him in the end.
"at that"... If you don't want to eat around other people that exist then just don't go to restaurants.
As a person living in Maine, I do love the legal weed but it's getting pretty annoying when every new business that opens is a dispensary. I have no idea how they all make enough revenue to stay open. Some blocks in Portland literally have 3+ dispensaries.
Firefox beta with ublock and a paywall block list, works perfectly for 99% of the web
I went to the Museum of Osteology in Oklahoma City and they have an area in the entrance where you can watch the beetles do their thing.
I don't think it's that far fetched. Pickled watermelon is delicious, melon with prosciutto is delicious. Sweet, salty, and vinegar are an age old combination.
Gathering, cutting, measuring all the ingredients before cooking is actually a very well regarded French method called mis en place so you're basically already classically trained 😜
Evaporust. Incredible product and reusable so many times.
I would take it to mean if you've never owned a home
You absolutely don't need a pi to run pihole. They have a list of officially supported OSs that can run the software, regardless of the hardware (as long as it meets the insanely low system requirements), and it can also be run in a docker container.
I was recently trying to add tickets from ticketbastard to Google wallet to be able to use them offline. I have chrome disabled on my phone. Surprise surprise it doesn't work with any other browser except chrome. The ticketbastard app just throws an error and nothing happens. Took me a lot of searching to realize it was because chrome was disabled.
Banning billboards is actually pretty huge. I live in Maine where billboards are banned and the mental break from being constantly forcibly advertised to is so nice. Every time I travel anywhere else I realize what a huge difference it makes.
+1000 anytime I accidentally open a link in Chrome I'm reminded how utterly unusable the "modern" Internet is without ad blocking at a bare minimum
Armed to deter cops actually sounds like a viable plan in Texas after what we saw at Uvalde
Freezing bread is much more effective and it comes right back to life after a bit of heating. Refrigerating it just dries it out imo.
My RE got some new leathers recently, thought I'd share some pics and say hello to the community.
