They are probably testing for the metabolites rather than the drug itself

It depends on the distance to object. Also the distance between the object and something to compare it to.

I was just talking about rewatching that with my partner....we ended up choosing Stargate SG1; but Black Books is on the list.

Octraine it is a kind of greenish-yellow-purple

“being poor is expensive”

The Boots Theory of Economic Unfairness; it is a little limited, but quite cool.

Maybe, but those limits are extremely far from what we currently achieve....so there is that to consider.

Given the numbers; I don't see how she is having trouble.

At ~$750/week to cover phone/internet/insurance etc..I would guess that is less than $250/week.

Where is that $500/week going?

One other thing I noted: when you earn $113k, $1k is not an emergency fund...an emergency fund should be minimum 3 months of after tax income...so like $18k for her. This is to cover unexpected large financial shocks, like losing a job or a car crash....$1k is a mechanics bill (says so in the article). If it takes a few years to build it up that is fine....but 3 months should be a minimum; preferably 6+. If she lost her job, she has less than a week of "emergency money".

I hate to sound like I'm "blaming the victim" here, but something doesn't add up.

Saving up for you kid, doesn't equal not living at all; because the kid is also living the same life.

The article states specifically

No other debts. Have worked really hard to pay everything off. Had built up an emergency fund but just had to spent $950 on fixing my car. So starting the emergency fund again.

PAYE calculator says she has $1484/week after tax and 6%KS

• $300 rent/mortgage
• $180 food
• $20 coffee/snack
• $40 transport
• $100 clothes/hair ($1200/yr)
• $7 gym

total -$647/week for a remainder of $837/week; even with rates, insurance, internet / phone etc...me thinks they are missing something.

Edit: Assuming that the rates are similar to mine (~$4200/year); that I just looked up; that only accounts for around $80/week. Which still leaves $750/week for phone/internet/power/insurances....also that $180 for food seems low.

Not even close; even an electric car has far more wheels than doors. Every rotating mechanism is made up of wheels, some geared others with groves for belts to run in.

Even just considering the ones that you see, there are tires and hubs which (for a car) means there are 8 wheels and only 4 or 5 doors. You could count the bonnet (hood) as a door and make it 6.

But there are hundreds of wheels, thousands in an ICE vehicle.

Well what the fuck is a machine language?

Is is data transmitted between parties (machines) to convey information? HTML fits this definition.

Do they mean machine code? Because some call machine code "machine language".

Either way the answer is D.

It goes from Kevin's fever dream living out his power fantasies; to Marv being punished perpetually by the chaotic forces of muppetry for being a bad guy.

One is a horror story the other a dark comedy

Home Alone - keep Kevin

Well it was the API changes; and the general fuckery that drove me to look for an alternative.

Thinking about it, I haven't been back to Reddit for over year now.

Wow, I didn't realize that I joined so early.

Just checked, 29 June 2023 for me.

I don't want to sound judgmental. I've never been in your position.

One potential way to approach this would be to "bring the shelter staff on the juorney".

• Tell them as soon as you confirm the job.
• Thank them for their support.
• Explain that you will be getting some equipment, and that you will need to connect it to Ethernet.
• Give them the great news, that you have organised housing for yourself, once that first paycheck comes in.
• Let them feel yes excitement, at the prospect of getting some momentum in your life.
• If they express concern, invite them to sit with you while you work, show them you are trustworthy.

This is a people problem, not a technical one. People that run shelters, especially volunteers, a good people. But they likely have been burned in the past; they will not blindly trust.

Also 45, I have heard the name, but I don't know who he is.

A little, but not too much.

Flat taxes annoy me more than proportional taxes.
