I also hate rust, so this is putting all the bad things in one basket. Next step: drop basket.

I fly 200ish flights a year so figure 70-80 nights away.

2025 was 100% hotels but 2019 was about 80% Airbnbs.

Airbnb will never get my business back. Ever. The professional scammer hosts are so good at finding a way to nail me for a fee. Iâ(TM)ve taken perfect check out video and still had to spend hours fighting fees.

Airbnb allowed making guests do it.

They lost so much money to hotels theyâ(TM)re banning hosts from requiring it.

It has happened under both.

I predict a distinct change in the tone and content of ATC radio instructions. Use of the gamer word will skyrocket.

Step 1: Make a lot of crimes, such that everyone is at least technically a criminal

Step 2: Stop enforcing the laws against traditional property crimes (theft, vandalism, burglary, etc)

Step 3: Propose cameras, claiming to use them to solve crime problem. People rejoice

Step 4: Use cameras to catch all those crimes you made in step 1. Continue to fail to enforce laws against traditional property crimes.

Step 5: Put on trollface, ask citizens who are being fined and jailed and having guns stuck in their face "We're catching criminals, isn't that what you wanted?"

I'm sure nobody could have predicted this. Nobody at all.

Protein intake increases thermogenesis. This FGF21 is probably being released when protein is low because more body heat is needed when digestion and absorption aren't producing it, but we know protein-rich diets result in more total thermogenesis.

The "9 to 5" part sure sounds 1960ish. By the time I entered the workforce, it was 8 to 5, with an unpaid hour break for lunch. Now? Am on call. Might be working any hour of the day or night, on weekdays or weekends. Some days, just getting enough sleep is tough to accomplish.

Free speech includes lying.

Merit should always consider strictly value.

The $5K a year just gives you a $300 per person per visit discount. So pays itself back in 15 visits or so.

Plenty of us nerds can afford this and want to see news about this.

Make that ...in 2024 there were 7080.

In 2016, there were 6080 pedestrian deaths in the US. In 2017, there were 7080. Ascribing all 1000 of those additional deaths, plus another 2000 that presumably wouldn't have been happened, isn't credible.

I suppose what they did is make themselves a toy model which related hood height to deaths, then applied said model to actual hood heights to come up with a number. Basically assuming what they wanted to prove.
