I get like 10 seconds for both my cats.

Healthcare costs in the US is usually the blocker for me when I think about extended stays as a hermit.

I've definitely been in a hostel where they should have had this sign. Woke up to my bunk rockin.

I agree to some extent. They're grossly overpriced. But I don't see many shoebox options. All the layouts feel oversized and not efficient. Including the few studios. Hell a lot places have 2 parking spots for most units because of zoning laws.

I think American developers don't like to go small unless they're absolutely forced to.

So my overpowered PC is so I don't lose focus due to loading times.

What? All the new American apartments I've seen are luxury and full of nice amenities. Which I think is a problem because none of it is affordable. Even older apartments get renovated and the rent shoots up. I would love to see some practical and efficient apartments.

This is Denver so your region my differ. From what I gather new bare bones apartments only exist in extreme cost of living areas like Sanfran or NYC.

Or just a lapdock. I don't use DeX but have used a lapdock for LAN parties with my SteamDeck, Raspberry Pi stuff, and server configuration.

There's a chance you die and that 2 mil will go to someone else vs your payments just stop.

The 100k isn't matching inflation so you gain less wealth every year versus your potential 2 mil investment matching or beating inflation.

I think the only real reason to do the 100k a year is if you're not very financially responsible. Which has been the case for many lottery winners.

Edit: Personally not a fan of hoarding wealth outside enough for retirement/security.

No? Barcodes and QR codes do not have enough information for unique identification. (Well they could but they start getting bigger and bigger)

But the real issue is needing these codes tracked and audited in a public manner. Instead of having a third party company trusted with all the cheese, you use a Blockchain with a public ledger. This doesn't even require much processing power since there's no incentive to mine as many blocks as possible.

I hate cryptobros but logistics is a good use for the tech. Tech is tech, not all use cases are bad.

I had a 6 month gap and I said I was taking a sabbatical (which was the truth). No one batted an eye.

Which they are: https://www.grants.gov/learn-grants/grant-reporting

Grants are an incredible way to advance technology, create educated citizens, and boost the economy. Private industry also benefits since they don't have to risk their own R&D budget. And in some areas, the private sector will not touch since there's not a obvious way to make profit. Although they will still use that public research when it suits them.

The GOP wants you to be ignorant of how everything works and get away with blackmailing institutions they don't like.

They're in the form of grants that give research to help society.

Imagine if the government wants to know the effects of microplastics on the brain. The grant is a way to hire researchers at universities to answer this question.

The alternative is just employ scientists full time, but that's expensive. And how do those scientists get trained in the first place? Using grants while in university.
