Although very few regular people use twitter.. its all about celebrates and news people talking to each other. I don't know one person who uses it.

Could it be that a lot of people realized during Covid that they can live with less, raise their own kids, make their own food, oversee their education.. and not need to run a rat maze on two incomes when one will suffice? The key to continuing this is to flood the market with more affordable housing so that it can continue. Instead, we want to push more money into government funding daycare to force more people into the workforce.

Its far from free, we'll be paying for it for decades in taxes and inflation.

If we don't make a press issue out of it, thus creating a non-controversy, we can just let the doctors there recommend it to their patients in a simple conversation. If it gets posted all over, and people start arguing again, and the main stream press makes a big deal of it to create advertising income.. we'll just have another rinse and repeat of the current situation. Just leave it alone.

One Drive.. sometimes the file is on the local machine, sometimes its some sort of link. Often hard to understand when things are copying all over the "cloud" and when they are only on your machine. Applications hide files in hidden "application data" directories.. that grow and grow and you cant figure out where they are. Every new capability adds new complexities that only the few engineers at MS actually understand. Was much simpler in XP.. and still in in Linux.

In most cases, the real problem has become the cost of k-12 education. Because the cost of educating one student is often more than the tax revenue from a home, towns do everything they can to discourage families moving into town. Zoning rules have resulted in McMansions only, with even "affordable housing" being out of reach of the cost to the average young family starting out. Rules require at least an acre of land, huge fees to attach to utilities, and discourage multi-bedroom apartments (to limit apartments to singles or couples). Thus, the only housing for the upcoming generation is what comes from the elderly passing away. We will have a bubble of those available in 25-30 years as the baby-boomer generation passes, but thats far in the future.

Agreed, This seems way too wide, way too vague, and way too risky to consider using or linking to. I do like encouraging open-source and support the efforts of developers, but I want to get work done, not make the infrastructure too dangerous to consider.

I liked her current work on Space Command.. I go back every year to rewatch B5.. she gave such a level of respect to that character. I had been in Yugoslavia before the breakup, and understood her sadness over the fall of that country and culture. Will miss her performances. Wish we could have known her more.

They always get my money.. I'm on the way out to ring the bell now.
