It was also a significant amount of right wing agitprop opposing any reduction to fossil fuel usage...

Yeah and those are national statistics.

You don't hit the top 10% in New York state until you break 330k

It is and while I don't think that was Eisenhower's 5d chess play it is more or less directly from cold war era policies that encouraged Americans to live anywhere besides a city.

They don't even have a different God, unless you're talking Mammon.

All Abrahamic religions have the same god. Allah = Yahweh = God.

The reason there isn't a revolution in the USA is mostly down to atomization. Suburban growth directly leads to insular communities with no sense of responsibility to the rest of their brothers and sisters. Working class families in the burbs have functionally 0 ability to organize.

To add that on, I like to underscore the gravity of the situation here with details:

1. The top 10% of earners starts at ~170k/yr
2. The top 1% start at ~820k/yr
3. The top 0.1% start at ~3,300k/yr (3.3 million)
4. If Elon Musk had 100% of his net worth in really basic bonds giving 5%/yr he'd be pulling in 22 BILLION dollars per year, forever.

The interest on his earnings alone is equivalent to 130,000 workers at the start of the top 10%. That's the entire workforce of American Airlines for comparison.

If the average person was paid like the 0.1% for 1 year they could retire and live off 65k/yr forever.

This chart is broken down by quintiles but it illustrates the disparity well imo.

Half of the wealth of the top 20% here (excluding top 1%) is in businesses or real estate they own. Most of that will be their own house and a small business, though leeches "landlords" mostly fall in this category too.

For the top 1% that's more like 20% of their net worth.

Tbh it sounds like the core one is a good choice here. Look at tinkering as something you use the printer to do and less as something to do to the printer itself.

I've got 2 prusas and while the XL has required a bit more work than my mk3s+ they both are excellent machines that I've run for thousands of hours with very little effort.

Welcome to the hobby! CAD modeling is the absolute best way to make your printer useful. A good pair of calipers are all you need to solve myriad issues around the house.

Nah there are too many left radicalizing videos on the platform for Trump to ever approve. (Ignore the overwhelming torrent of Trumpets and MAGAtts on the app - they don't matter to him)

My mid 20s were when I hit a major mental breaking point. If I hadn't had a good support network of friends close to me and family I could turn to...

26 is old enough to feel like you've lost everything and that nothing will ever be good again. He left a good career for his morals and lost all hope of employment from it.

The preponderance of evidence. Most of which is in other comments here already.

Seed oils are definitely better for you than the alternatives, especially butter.

I love butter: but it's absolutely worse for you than canola oil.

Veggie oils are totally fine and animal fats, while tasty, are definitely worse for you.

I still use butter in cookies though.

He's not the one downvoting your irrational fears - I am though.

Downvotes exist to suppress dumb fuck takes like "seed oil unnatural"

He can be civil all he wants I'll just tell you it's idiotic and you're listening to morons.

Tattoo is maybe misleading given that it's temporary but very neat

I pay $100 for my eye exam and $150 for my glasses every couple years.

It would take 30+ years for that cost to reach the Lasik levels you paid, and that's assuming I'm not doing anything with the $3750 remaining after the first appointment.

Unfortunately they walled garden themselves pretty universally. I've been on Tidal since Spotify fired all those people and have been really enjoying it.

Maybe I'm crazy but I feel like their recommended music is also way better.

This is happening because Spotify laid off half it's staff and thought it could get away with it.

Hachette is one of the Big 5 publishers at 10% market share. Penguin Random house (25%), HarperCollins (11%) and Wiley (not big 5 but still ~10%) were also in the suit.

Hachette, Penguin and HarperCollins are basically half of all books that come out.

United was the #1 claim denier as a percentage

This is exactly why usage analytics are important metrics...

The long weekend from Thanksgiving gave me unprecedented access to factorio space age. I think I hit 60 hours last week.
