  • Exclusive analysis finds the rate of maternal deaths in Texas increased 56% from 2019 to 2022, compared with just 11% nationwide during the same time period.

    Curious what the percent change is for just states that didn't implement abortion-restricting measures is...

  • Usually 4%/x25 has been considered the rule-of-thumb (and that's based on a study that considered dying broke okay; not based on capital preservation). x20 would usually be considered fairly aggressive (although that depends if you are including other things like SS benefits if you are in the US).

    Given the super-high CAPE ratio currently, even 4% would be be aggressive if you want capital preservation. Something like 3%/x33 would be more geared towards that.

  • What do you count as military companies? Just things like Raytheon and Blackwater? Or do you include companies like Amazon and Kraft? If you're excluding companies like Google and MS from the MIC, you're greatly underestimating it...

  • I have one like tiramichu and also like it. Use it constantly and it's convenient to be able to share things on my screen with people on the other side of my desk occasionally, making it more practical than something built-in to the laptop.

  • Huh? Having fins isn't a nationality? Irish was just an example of an adjective. Not sure why you are bringing it up?

    trans people are self-defined so it’s not something outside their control.

    Sorta, but the statement seems to show a pretty relevant and significant misunderstanding. Trans isn't like an easily externally identifiable trait like skin color (technically an autopsy could potentially provide evidence for being trans even in those who've never taken hormones or done any gender-affirming surgeries, but like we are talking about correlates, not defining features). But like neither is autism. You find out basically by asking.

    For sports, some leagues have started dealing with the existence of trans people and hormone-doping cis women by simply making sports divisions include hormone requirements. Its not really about whether the person is trans or cis though, so it means some cis women who aren't doping get excluded from cis women sports with such rules.

    PS: gender and race are both just made up.

  • And given he wasn't able to do the job of president due to dementia, I'd say incompetent also applies. Trump is just extra incompetent and extra criminal to almost comical degrees if we didn't have to deal with results...

  • Usually with this, it's like 20 entries, so pushes everything else off.

    The ones where it's only a couple entries mostly seem to be the ones where there's multiple articles on a single page and it's at least might be attempting to be helpful?

  • I think Trump does show some ADHD like behavior too, again I'm not a professional, but I think the problem for people with ADHD is that they forget where they came from, and Trump does seem to be able to get back to that.

    Couldn't that just be because it typically has a teleprompter telling him what he's supposed to be talking about?

  • For me, it took me several months to use the 100 trial searches. Paying $5/month for like 20 searches isn't worth it for me. Also just not into getting more subscriptions... wouldn't matter if it was just 50 cents/month for the basic plan. If they had one-time-payment no-expiration option like 1000 searches for $10, I'd probably lean towards getting that.
