¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Funny, this is actually more specific about your birthday than just saying your birth year. This also encodes whether your birthday is before or after the current date within the year.

So… 1999 with your birthday later than May 10?

I mean… per the meme, very much not our first time.

Using the most common definition of those born 1981-1996: Oldest millennials turn 44 this year, youngest turn 29. Next year we’ll officially transition to “30s to mid 40s.”

I typed my comment above on my mobile keyboard. I’m just using the standard Google keyboard on my Pixel, nothing fancy. Em and en dash are available by holding on the hyphen, and the ellipsis is available by holding on the period (annoyingly, only when on the numbers/symbols page).

Hold on — why can’t you do proper ellipses and dashes on your phone? I don’t understand…

That’s why I snatched up a Bolt before Chevy (temporarily, they say) discontinued the line. I even did upgrade it a little to get heated/cooling front seats and a heated steering wheel plus the extra safety features. $32.5k with a $7.5k rebate from the federal Clean Vehicle Credit. So $25k for a car with a 175-280 mile range. (175ish in winter when the battery is less efficient, 280 in summer).

Of course the IRS fucked up the point of sale rebate when I was purchasing, but it’s finally incoming with my taxes this year.

I think Jerboa was being pitched as the best RiF alternative super early on in the exodus. I also found myself on it but it never clicked for me.

I was on Connect for a while but there were some things that were a bit harder than they needed to be with different account/instance/filter management. Moved to Voyager and I’m quite happy with it, very smooth experience.

Did you name your cat Jelly just so their toes would be Jelly Beans?

Sheesh, you got a stick up your anise or something?

IMO this is splitting a hair that doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. If you’re going to be going into that much detail over the exact wording used to refer to the Abrahamic god, you’re gonna have to go all the way back to Yahweh being a local warrior god for the Hebrews that imperfectly merged with the chief Canaanite god El (hence all the names that invoke El like Israel, Samuel, Daniel, Elijah, etc.).

This El is thought to be - by a majority, not definitively - an etymological root of Allah (al-ilah, “il” being the cognate of “El”).

If we’re going all the way to historical root words, they ultimately worship the same god again, and it’s the chief deity of a now-defunct polytheistic religion.

I do a lot of my wrangling in R for more ad hoc stuff.

Is there ever not a mattress sale? And they advertise like crazy.

Agreed, I loved Below Zero. It was very much a small step forward from Subnautica, and I think people were expecting a bigger step forward. But it was always a glorified DLC for the original. Knowing that, it’s extremely enjoyable. I’ve played it through twice and I do love it in it’s own right.

This teaser has me hopefully that Subnautica 2 will be a true sequel. More polished, a bigger improvement on the original. Maybe I’m naive, but I’m gonna choose to be hopeful.

Well perhaps the president of Puerto Rico ought to have done something about that.

Half as much cheese and saute the onions and that looks absolutely delicious.

Now everyone needs to play all the clones of that dumb auto-shooter on rails. Their ads keep telling me that game is going VIRAL right now. I think they must have misunderstood someone saying their ads are like a virus.

Why not tax on a regular basis based on the current value, just like we do with houses?

Homes are taxed based on assessed value. They are already a form of taxing unrealized gains.

Most of the population either has:

1. no unrealized gains
2. gains in a retirement account that we can’t borrow against
3. gains in real estate that are taxed, but can be borrowed against
4. a combo of 2 and 3

I think it’s fair to ask that the rich play by the same rules. You can either borrow against your gains and pay taxes on them, or not pay taxes and not be able to borrow against them.
