If United couldn’t get anybody to bite at the vouchers, then the employees should have stood the whole flight.

Yeah, that is not a solution. The FAA is salivating at the thought of this. Everyone must have a seat for takeoff and landing.

Cool pic! Happy cake day.

DST is bad, byte me

you can’t file just your state tax returns online

Then either I’m misunderstanding you, or I’m filing my taxes wrong lol

Sounds like a state problem. It works great in my state. It will get better in time.

If I was an homeowning instead of renting, I would have bought a much better refrigerator at trice the cost. But I won’t pay that much for an appliance I’m not going to own, and my landlord won’t pay it for one he wouldn’t use, so I’m stuck with a cheap and noisy refrigerator.

Right, I’ve been on both sides of your example. I’ve both bought a refrigerator while owning a home (and picked a more expensive model), and I’ve also had a fridge replaced by a landlord with a cheap model.

Again, for me the renting side of this is a “pro”. I will second guess not splurging if I know it is an option while owning. If I rent, I just don’t care because its not an option in the first place, and I love that.

And what, are you going to restrict cars off the side street to turning right and then making a u-turn?

Yes. If there is not enough traffic for a better treatment, and the intersection cannot be made safer intersection, then left turns should be prohibited.

This is just a common as dirt configuration, especially in rural areas. I don’t find it remarkable at all.

Multilane thru traffic with turn lanes is not a typical rural configuration, at all.

Pling

45 mph multilane traffic, with unsignalized intersection of cross traffic? No, it’s a shitty design. Just because it’s normal where you live, doesn’t mean it’s a good design.

How to fix? Just a few examples…

• Signalize intersection
• Slow down thru traffic
• Roundabout
• Reduce thru lanes, increase turn lane offset
• Prevent left turns from side street

That’s just a shitty road design

I’m currently renting a home for space for gardening. Tomato seedlings went out last weekend :)

So there’s that, and there’s retirement. Having set expenses (aside from taxes) is super important and you’ll never have that with renting when you’re retired.

I don’t consider my home a retirement vehicle. I save separately for that. But I do understand that for some people, it is, and that’s understandable.

I never understood the obsession with homeownership.

I’ve owned. It kinda sucked. The things most people think of as “pros” (like being able to renovate) were not that great for me. I’d spend a lot of time thinking about things I could change/improve, and then doing them.

My brain operates differently renting. I don’t really care about things like that since its not an option in the first place. It saves me time/money/stress and I spend more time living my life instead of maintaining a property.

Of course there are drawbacks with renting, specifically shitty landlords, but to me there are more pros than cons.

Are you my landlord?

You can drink liquor in most parks in my city (USA)

It depends on the government I suppose. US National Weather Service offices posts bunch of weather info exclusively to Twitter (and sometimes Facebook).
