I am very typical earthling. I like earth food and earth drink and earth sports and earth media. Im all about earth things because I am so typical and earthling. so typical as to be very boring and not worth investigating or looking into because I am definately from earth.

Americans are choking on surging fast-food prices. "I can't justify the expense," one customer says ( www.cbsnews.com )

Kevin Roberts remembers when he could get a bacon cheeseburger, fries and a drink from Five Guys for $10. But that was years ago. When the Virginia high school teacher recently visited the fast-food chain, the food alone without a beverage cost double that amount....

its actually way better than it was a decade or more ago. they actually imporved the food at one point. not that it makes is much better in any way except in comparison to itself. that being said there is a lot of fast food places and they were quick and consistant. I have cut down myself due to prices.

I don't see why it matters if you say your 15 years old 5 thousand some thing days of like 100k odd hours. they are just units of time. could also just say your a decade and a half or on your second revolution of the chinese zodiac (btw it has 5 elements so your fully go through the cycle at 60)

I just watched and really like this one. felt a bit like but totally different from and your eternity. I like the timescale schtick.

something interesting you say. source mage linux. https://sourcemage.org/ its more up to date than it seems. look at the repo.

honestly I don't get why this was not the case from the get go. US has done no fly zones all the time.

Russia Victory Day parade: Only one tank on display as Vladimir Putin says country is going through 'difficult period' ( news.sky.com )

On 9 May every year, Russia celebrates Victory Day, putting on a large parade in honour of the country's victory over Nazi Germany 79 years ago - in what remains an important symbol of the country's national identity....

HubertManne ,
@HubertManne@kbin.social avatar

ok I did look at your wikipedia page and went to some links for it trying to find this but im sorta curious what was the typical number of tanks before? I know you are unlikely to just know this but worth a try.

thanks. I appreciate that. Wow. What a difference.

yeah and this is through the narrow lens of just temperature. If there was no climate change we would still be pretty effed up due to habitat loss and pollution and such. Climate change is just sorta a knock on effect.

My condo does not allow rentals and never did. Its one reason it was affordable for me.

HubertManne ,
@HubertManne@kbin.social avatar

its an election system and you can actually call a vote by petition of residents. I get peoples feelings but there are options to stop gross negligence. Its tougher when the person is sorta annoying but not enough to go through the pain of getting rid of them or like people deciding to run themselves and do the work. Its unpaid work and in my experience the ones doing it are more put upon than those that don't. With a few exceptions.

HubertManne ,
@HubertManne@kbin.social avatar

Yeah I would not mind that. From what I know from other people is you had to be on a list and it sorta rotated if all the slots were filled. Downside it would seem to me is if you had folks trying to keep it as rental property rather than a temporary situation. Also likely a bit harder to enforce compliance since some units are legitimately rented whereas in my situation folks would notice if you tried to rent it out. Its actually really restricted. Units can only be occupied if your on the lease or certain direct relatives like children.

shocker!

yeah im sure she has folks on staff that realize how to milk it.

HubertManne ,
@HubertManne@kbin.social avatar

I highly disagree in the sense of most people. Everyone I have known in the situation have put it towards a house or it was so low they just took the cash for bills. I think most will keep it in investments if its quite substantial maybe but many people die having already had to sell off assets and reverse morgages and all kinds of things.

HubertManne ,
@HubertManne@kbin.social avatar

I think low payouts will though. its likely there will be thousands of low payout for every significant one. Its much more common. Some folks get into the lucky position where all said and done it cost them money or at least a lot of their time with nothing really to show for it. but your right its being pulled out of the market as the money is needed or even sooner in those cases. So it won't be a sudden it but more of a slow constant drain.

HubertManne ,
@HubertManne@kbin.social avatar

I agree its stupid but the original idea was larger and had a transit system going down it. I think that was the concept. To sorta maximize transit as you did not need to branch it off to go to various places.

HubertManne ,
@HubertManne@kbin.social avatar

yeah. I was just pointing out there was a reason. I have been thinking about it in the back of my head today. How valuable is it and is it worth it. When I look at my city metro its basically a hub and spoke and what you see is that most of the spokes are around 15-20 miles out from downtown and I know they have been extended so I think closer to 15 for the original spans. Im thinking this gets to what that other lemmy user said. Having a commute where you go from the end of one spoke downtown to the end of the other would stink. Since there are multiple spokes that are mor places to live that are sorta in that magic 15-20 mile distance. Our metra is similar but goes way farther out but also has way fewer stops. So it can be farther out without being to bad. All the same those branches tend to stop once the commute from downtown is about an hour or so. Im guessing that really the circular city type thing is the way to go and likely why most are like that barring natural barriers like oceans or whatnot.

I understand the concern about the future and we have seen overbloated projects have issues. In the long run though I will use what works best for me and only get into philosophical comparisons if im making the choice between relatively equal options.

I live in the chicago area and prices have doubled at least. Even on the cheapest stuff. Many things are 3-5 times higher. I don't know where you are shopping?

HubertManne ,
@HubertManne@kbin.social avatar

I don't even know of any in the chicago area anymore. our meijer closed up before the pandemic hit. I actually have sorta the same issue. I am pretty aware of the increase in most items but rice and beans keep for long and so I don't buy them often. Im not sure of the price of them back when I was not fretting over my grocery bill. I only really buy lentils though as they are easy to make in the rice cooker.

the economy is not great but he has changed the trajectory. it took obama two terms to normalize after bush jr and unfortunately it was not so great that trump did not make it way worse. ironically mostly by not continuing gradual interest rate increases which forced the severe ones now.

HubertManne ,
@HubertManne@kbin.social avatar

most of the increases were actually before this last year. im not sure that is the best time frame. at least for me the big effects where seen in a year or two of inflation but its tapped down now comparatively.

@HubertManne@kbin.social avatar

main problem is it should not use any examples of actual stuff. it should all be trained on licenesed anime.

its worse living in a condo. The chance everyone will put in appropriate things 100% each week to the recycling dumpster is pretty much nill and then it gets mixed up in a truck with the other area condos. I wash my stuff but am almost certain its all going to landfills.

What really gets me is when I was young there was little to no plastic and we had plenty of convenience food with mainly paper, glass, and metal.

plugin hybrids to me are an important step. If it can do 10 miles without starting to use gas and the person plugs it in they will use very little gas.

HubertManne ,
@HubertManne@kbin.social avatar

I mean for myself I could not plug one in and if you ever have dealt with a community like a condo getting permission to one off is only overshadowed by trying to get the place to improve the infrastructure overall in impossibility. I sorta hope incentives or regulations come along to make such changes easier.

HubertManne ,
@HubertManne@kbin.social avatar

well and thats a bit easier than a building style. I can't just run something in the garage. I kid you not but a guy had insulation put above his unit in the attic and they spent condo funds to have a lawyer go after it to remove it and when he fought back they had a guy take the insulation out. its freakin nuts!

Can somebody explain why game makers don't start their own companies together?

It seems like every other week a game studio is massively laying off employees; sometimes after years of development. What I'm reading is that it's a quick way to lower expenses and pad the investors' pockets, flooding the market with developers and reducing their value, to then hire them back a few months later at lower...

HubertManne ,
@HubertManne@kbin.social avatar

Why does anyone who works not make their own company? It takes capital and a certain skill set as well as a risk tolerance.

HubertManne ,
@HubertManne@kbin.social avatar

I have no good reply. tried several in my head but they are all meh at best.

I don't think bringing attention to conspiracy theories as conspiracy theories is bad. If anything its a good thing. I mean if it was the about the lizard aliens or flat earthers it would be the same.

HubertManne ,
@HubertManne@kbin.social avatar

the other side of the coin is then its the "truth" mainstream media is hiding. ¯_ (ツ)_/¯

our pbs does have its own program. news and childrens being the more frequent along with science. Im actually not sure if they are umbrella over all stuff as we also have npr which is pretty much radio. What makes us wierd is there is some national funding but local stations have to fundraise and have closed up shop do to lack of subscribers. My city also had a station associated with the community colleges but im not sure how that worked. Im pretty sure the local stations then pay a fee for the content they run from the national org so they still depend on the local charity drives. On the one had its bs that our country does not fund this stuff well enough but on the other hand I think it would keep something like this happening as folks would stop giving.
