especially when things like food are the things going up. Just noticed this weekend that four things of tortillas was the same price as pair of frying pans.

ironic given the idea behind increased interest rates is to encourage saving.

certainly. even lower. Some people can be vigorous in their seventies but they are not the majority, 50’s many go down. That is one problem with raising the retirement age in general. There is only a subset that can keep working as age goes up.

to bad not a nun character. the hills are alive!

Totally agree. This is not exactly a good example in impropriety but I don’t see why holding office should not restrict holders investments to broad total market index funds and bond funds.

Im more a stan ridgeway fan than wall of voodoo. I remember picking up a cassette way back and was very disapointed and did not understand what happened. Its only decades later that I found out. Its like tull and ian anderson for me even though the band has never not had him hes pretty much the influence I like. ironically im not wild about his solo stuff. I find he really needs some good artists to keep him grounded. Stan on the other hand, I like his solo stuff.

This is very true. This century we are pretty much hitting the limits of growth and globally the response has been to hit the accelerator.

there is nothing wrong with the blockchain. cryptos main problem is the proof of work using to much energy. blockchain to actually do work with the energy it uses efficiently is great.

mine favors imported goose

nope. usual supply and demand at play. same as you won’t pay more if they have an idea that you can pay more. The salesman may try but ultimately the price is the same.

Im talking about the time when mac enthusiasts would brag about how many more ports a macbook had over a windows laptop. I use the term just because when they went minimalist design coincided when the apple store started acutally said they would not deal with something which was the cable losing their casing which did end up being a design issue so they handled it later but previous to that they would never not do something unless it was obvious you took a hammer to it or something. my last mac was the macbook pro erra with the dvd-i port.

I was initially going to upvote this but the fact is that if someone cannot go to a doctor and get something resolved they will look elsewhere. Whether its a failure of the medical system or limitations of our medical technology there are many reasons someone cannot get treatment or even advice. That being said if one has access to speak to a doctor that should always be their first action.

We can’t doubt that satan tests us with the creation of the false abrahamic religions because it is something that only satan knows.

I loved macs back when it was more maximalist design and its service was beyond reproach. anyone buying a pc might be installing linux on it. not that many vendors specific to linux.

first basic. most used is sorta hard to say. maybe java script given the variations I have used. Favorite is shell.

driveways? dresses? your into some wierd shit but I don’t judge. Its great for me. could not be a better time for it. Its like a golden age for it. Wait. thats an m not an n and you have r bfore the o. oh. woops. my bad.

just heard a blurb from him about ending electric car subsidies on day one and his crowd cheered.

Im not gonna cry for any company that did not extricate itself since crimea. There have been butloads of time and a goodly amount to do it slowly and slyly.

so much agree. Why do we even allow data brokers? How about something like an entitiy cannot collect information that is not necessary to conduct the business it is in and cannot sell or provide that information to any other entity outside of the one they collected the information from which must be provided free upon request.

cheezus. I hate most cyptocurrency implementations but no ones forcing anyone to interact with that stuff.
