Ah good to hear she's on the mend. Well just to note for any future injuries, boots are way better. I used crutches for a day before adding the boot so I could go to work and stuff. They didn't even give me the option initially and I'm not sure why. It was far more comfortable having it on and I never wanted to take it off!

Spring for the boot if it's an option. Way better than crutches.

Yeah I think the picture quality from Pixel cameras is better than the Galaxy in certain conditions, but the camera app is just way better on the Galaxy. (I'm currently using a Pixel 6 Pro and an S23 Ultra and I hate the Pixel's camera app.)

Actually there are quite a few things I like better in the Samsung software, and I can't think of anything I like better on the Pixel...

Great idea. As others have pointed out, it wouldn't be enough power on its own, but maybe it could supplement the gym's power and you could award people points for how much power they generate. Then maybe you can use those points to pay for all the things you need for daily living. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifteen_Million_Merits

Which one is Gen-Z again?

Thanks!

When Epic started hiring every software engineer in video games they flipped that red curve, at least to the right of that blue line.

Yes, so what's "misleading" is that they're using these talking points to blame current forest management policies on the problem. Also they're doing this so they can ignore/deny that the climate is changing and making the area more susceptible to fires, no matter what your fire management policies are.

I didn't say 3M home I said 300K home. https://www.policygenius.com/homeowners-insurance/california/los-angeles/

When I saw NP that's where my mind went first... Hence my confusion lol

That's an entirely different argument, and your math is way off.

You pay $2000 a month for 360 months

I'm pretty sure the insurance is closer to $2000 per year. So $2000 per year for 30 years is $60000, which is not going to cover the total loss on a $300000 home. $2000 per month would be on something like a $10million home.

They've been collecting insurance payments on those houses WITHOUT LOSSES for many months.

If there had been no losses, people wouldn't have needed insurance. There are 1000s of homes insured and some percentage of them will have had some amountof payouts from the pool of money. Insurance pays out for lots of different types of losses, and they have to weigh the risks. They're not charities.

Don't get me wrong, insurance is a racket and they will do everything they can to deny coverage and stuff the pockets of their investors. But if you want to force them to provide coverage when there's pretty much guaranteed losses, they will just exit the business altogether.

I read that as "NP != D" and spent far too long trying to figure out what the variables N, P, and D were in this context.

It's a way of making reasonable profits providing a service people need.

And 6 months ago they saw that they were likely to take major losses insuring homes in that area so they stopped renewing policies. So the options were to use the last-resort state provided insurance (FAIR Act), go uninsured, or move. A lot of people didn't switch to the state insurance.

Maybe the shortest invasion, but the USA invading an ally, and a NATO ally specifically, would have repercussions long after the invasion itself. It could result in the dissolution of NATO altogether which would greatly embolden Russia, and perhaps China and Iran, in their ambitions. I don't think Trump is particularly concerned about all that, which is the scary part.

In short, it might be the shortest invasion, but it might be the start of another long war involving most of the world. Which doesn't seem like a great way to "protect the free world".

I make sure to never get attached to one brew so I can drink it anywhere, anytime. I'll drink instant without hot water if I need to (and not just frappe.)

Sure, I'm not defending them, just making sure people are aware that they might be getting ripped off elsewhere too.

It's not just Loblaw though, it sounds from the article like it's across the board.
