I kind of love pichação style. It looked really ugly to me at first, but then grew on me as I saw more of it. It feels alien and cryptic and uncomfortable to me as a Westerner. I understand being sick of it if you live there, but as a touri

In New Orleans (and surrounding areas), we have a large, dusty industry of salvaging old long leaf pine and either reusing it directly or re-milling larger pieces like beams into flooring etc. You can easily pick up old growth pine with tig

If I were starting over, I would probably push for Google Chat. It was such a chore getting my workmates to switch to Slack from email, that I don't want to disturb the delicate balance. That said, Google Chat has less integrations and

The novelty of location based games never wore off for me, but the gameplay created by Niantic lost it's charm very quickly. I hope Naiantic's failure will not doom location based gaming. I suffered through the meaningless grind o

True. I work with media server playback stuff for live events etc. Back in the day, we only used mpeg2 constant bitrate codec because it allowed us to sync the playback across multiple systems. The first 4k videos we could play were just a

Do you think it is because you rarely need to use the brake in a Tesla? My limited experiencing driving one was that simply removing your foot from the accelerator often provides sufficient braking power. Maybe you lose some muscle memory.

I know you are getting downvoted and a lot of gaff, but I do think you propose an interesting question. I am not sure what is illegal and what is not, but I am confident I support the strike. So, let's say you are right. Would that mak

It is not as good as it is on Android. I still have an iPhone, but this is the top thing that makes me consider switching back to Android. I will still probably buy another iPhone because of all the other good things about it. Still, I miss

That might be the only solution you can think of, but that does not make it the only possibility. What you are really saying is you don't think New Orleans is worth saving. New Orleans infrastructure consists of far more than just leve

Our pumps are so old many are still using wooden screws and run on 25 cycle power. Think how much water we could pull out if the system was upgraded? New Orleans is more prepared to survive than any other city with a few hundred miles of it

That is not quite true. The CDC listed several reasons not to wear masks. They definitely mention a shortage of masks and retaining supply for medical personnel, but at the same time they also said they were unnecessary and unhelpful for an

I worked there for half a day. Did the training and had just started my job when the manager told me they needed me tomorrow at a store 4 hours away at 6am. I left and never came back.

I am a landlord. My rent prices are based on competition, not how much money my tenants make.

They actually stopped using prisoners, but are still only paying $10.25 an hour and work one of the hardest jobs I can imagine. They are basically not allowed to use the lift on the truck because it slows them down, so they hand lift my can

In Southeast Asia? Try New Orleans, Louisiana where sanitation workers have been striking to make $15 (they currently make $10.25 with no benefits) and jog along side the truck and empty the cans by hand.

Not to mention that many variations of UBI proposals specifically exempt the kind of purchases most lower income people make most often. You can easily exempt normal groceries, clothing under a certain value, rent or utilities under a set v

In my state of Louisiana, there is a homestead exemption where if the property is your primary residence, you are exempt from a good chunk of property taxes. It doesn't always make it zero and it doesn't stop taxes from rising at

The layoffs and restructuring in 2015 was to get slimmer for a sale. Guy sold 90% of the company off right after for 1.5 billion. Cirque has been run by bean counters since even before the sale even went through. Covid is destroying the ent

Yeah. Mystere prints money, while the newer shows are often in debt for decades.

My understanding is there is actually some risk. If they do the paperwork wrong, or if the regulations change randomly (which they have a bunch of times already), the bank could theoretically be on the hook. Some of this reportedly happened

I think the elective treatment theory is a better point than my driving guess. If you have a disease and your options are to get surgery or take medicine, you are probably being pushed towards non-surgical options, even if that would have o

Airbnb policy (and the law) forbids putting a camera in private spaces. If you are renting a room in a house that has shared public spaces, the host could put a camera in the kitchen for example, but it has to be disclosed (there is a place

That is not possible. They were lying to you. You can't see the other's review until you post your review or the review window expires. You can never change your review once posted (though you can comment on a review someone else

It is definitely not legal to setup hidden cameras anywhere that would be private inside your Airbnb. https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/108/s1301/text Also, Airbnb asks you if there are any cameras

The first two weeks of people renting my Airbnb got an incredible deal. Airbnb encouraged me to discount what I found later to be way too low prices. I was also very careful to make sure everything was perfect for them since their reviews w

Trying to find a diverse pool is fine. You can recruit at historically black colleges, you can offer benefits like family leave or daycare that might appeal statistically more to women. You can try to show that your organization is not raci
