No, NPR will survive. Losing the grants suck. But the vast majority of its revenue isn't from grants.

I'll be upping my donation.

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

Not only this but I pick my cat up so she can smell things she normally can't reach. Or get to a bug on the ceiling.

They don't use github, this is just a mirror. So people are just trolling the PRs I guess.

As an American who just emigrated, I guess I jumped. I can still vote from overseas, but I'm pessimistic about the future.

(Pretending this is real) Is this even a good deal? $15 each time. Maybe 1% chance for a break in. You end up paying on average $1500 to stop a break in.

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.

Chicago? The city with the famously horrendous 75 year parking meter deal?

You can always go for smaller/niche companies. System76 and Wooting come to mind for keyboards.

You have to do research and pay a premium. But you're way more likely supporting a business that cares about its employees.

In general consume less. And when you do need to make bigger purchases, do your research.

No, that's what consumers like you are thinking in hindsight and unrelated.

The context Gabe is talking about is when he was approaching publishers. They were just being anti tech and believing in traditional brick and mortar. They were definently pro-DRM. They just couldn't fathom a digital marketplace.

I always dislike this take because it pretends the US doesn't have this exact issue. I've known people with less than ideal insurance who had very few doctors to pick from in-network and would take months to get an appointment.

Long wait times still happens in the US. Just like it can happen in public healthcare.

Sure, ideally, unless they're doing something more sophisticated. VW passed emission tests by detecting they were being tested.

Some potential easy to implement gotchas: minimum mileage, geo fencing, how much braking is used

No longer drive but yes.

The drivers around me, including those in front, might not realize it's a turn only lane. It also shows them that I know it's a turning lane and shows my intent.

I mean, it's not different. Pokemon and MtG also have departments to try to entice users with fomo. It's what marketing is. It's why they have limited runs, promotional crossovers, etc. Valve is just more open about the process.

So why does Japan at 100V have electric kettles everywhere? It's a cultural reason not the electrical grid.

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

So 2500 Calories. 1 Calorie = 1kcal = 1000 calories. Follows the rule of anything but metric.

I dunno, artificial reefs seem like decent way to reuse them. If the metal was worth salvaging seems like the would have. Maybe too labor intensive? https://ocean.si.edu/ecosystems/coral-reefs/when-wrecks-become-reefs

Congrats, you recreated the 2008 financial crisis!
