The company I currently work at is relocating its HQ to Atlanta GA due to similar incentives. I'm slightly curious just how many millions of dollars in incentives they're receiving to relocate ~30 employees and hire another 30-60 local employees, because apparently Atlanta outbit Dallas TX on the questionable business incentives

No time like the present to patch up rocky childhood relationships with family members!

I learned very quickly I had already lost on the makeup battle by the time my daughter was 2. I thought maybe we could make it until she was a teenager but NOPE

Also worth noting often if you see what looks like Amish folks driving a car, especially if its for personal errands they're often not Amish but Mennonite.

I very consistently manage to shop at the same time as one Mennonite family, so I'll see them getting groceries then load up their car and drive home

My understanding is the faith has exclusions to the rules for when its necessary for work, so an Amish IT Administrator wouldn't be impossible!

That sounds super interesting! Can you link me/tell me how that works networking wise at a high level? I've been poking at a number of distributed compute and decentralized software lately just because every single one has its own unique solutions to the various chicken/egg problems that decrentalization pose

Most hospitals have a charity fund. It is based on my income. If I am broke and make crap wages, my share might be reduced to 0 usd.

Currently working through this with the local hospital and about $8k of various visits over the last 4 years of so while we had some mix of no insurance, garbage insurance and Medicaid (federally funded low income insurance) and it's literally all being wiped away. The lady who processes the applications explained to me that it's on a sliding scale, so if you make $1 over the threshhold for 100% waiver, it might be a 95% waiver. Notably some of the debt turned out to be a billing error where they should have billed Medicaid in the first place, but that was one of the smaller bills in the pile of debt

Ah the company that convinced people that adding DRM to coffee was okay because they made it "easier" to make coffee (meanwhile I've faught far more with every kurig I've encountered than any $5 drip coffee machine I've ever encountered)

Good luck ignoring bullshit signs when going through airport security and customs. Let us know how that goes for you

If the store is technically on a highway that can mean it is both unsafe and illegal to walk/bike there (depending on local laws of course)

The fact that stores and schools and other critical public spaces can be located on highways is certainly something that should be talked about more

From my experience this varies wildly regionally. My family in LA will put on shoes as part of getting dressed in the morning, but in Wisconsin you take your shoes off at the door since theres a good chance they're wet or even muddy depending on the season

Just wait until you start seeing the new combination flags where it's divided diagnoally and displays two flags communicating opposing and incompatible values. So far I've seen American/Israeli, American/Trump and American/Confederate Battle flags. The irony clearly goes so far over their heads, not to mention how these flags technically violate the official rules for flag display

I do think it's telling that I haven't seen any American/LGBTQ flags for who the designers of these flags cater to
