I don’t have to be a farmer… About 330 miles, actually. I don’t have to worry about doing that anymore (he recently died). However, my wife and I went to a major city twice last month, an hour and a half one way, for medical reasons. We go at least once a month.

I also have to take an obese person to another city 45-60 minutes away multiple times a month. I did so today and will again Friday. He can hardly see me. No way would he be able to ride a bike.

You don’t seem to realize that there are people with health conditions that preclude them from riding a bike. I actually used to walk everywhere when I was in college. It’s not really feasible now even if it’s not about 120 degrees outside.

I’m not going to put my wife’s wheelchair on my bike as we travel, especially when it would be 5-6 hours by car to go to her dad’s place.

I have dozens of tabs open in Edge on my phone and I use Edge there mostly for TV Tropes since the Preview Link lets me look at other tropes without having to open another tab. I’m currently reading Discworld tropes.

That’s for politicians.

I got a 28" 4K monitor for $50 and a 55" 4K Roku TV also for $50 (not at the same time). The Roku needs replacement lights on one side and I haven’t done that yet.

I want something that does all that and blocks trackers as well, which is what I use DDG for.

My church has this event called Youth Conference where teenagers go to another city for a few days for a conference. One year, a brother and I went to one. There were booths with a bunch of gospel games, food and drinks, and prizes. We were all given tickets to use. My brother and I looked at each other, combined our tickets, and went to grab a few prizes and some food and drinks. The adults were trying to convince us to go play the gospel games but we ignored them. When the event ended and the true purpose was revealed, everyone in the room turned and looked at us.

For the rest of the conference, people kept coming up to us and saying how funny they found what my brother and I had done. When they came to my town the next year, they told me about how they still laugh about it up there.

I like to think that I am quite skilled at detecting this type of issue. Now that I think about it, this might be related to my pun skills. Being able to decipher more than one meaning is critical for doing both.

Princess Bride.

I preferred pico.

The pandemic that was caused by poor people hunting wild animals to sell their meat to make a living? Gosh darn, I wonder what we could have done to make it so these people wouldn’t have to resort to that to make a living.

What the poor people were doing happened in another country and therefore there was nothing that we could have done to change their way of life. We can’t dictate to China how they treat their citizens.

Bots would help but have their own problems.

Nothing. That happened in another country. Also, hunting wild animals to sell the meat has been a thing for millennia.

Perhaps 10%. Taxes at one point went up to 90%. Some companies do need more, especially small businesses. As for not needing to subsidize anyone, when the pandemic struck and the checks went out a lot of people paid bills (I managed to get rid of my student loan debt, with help) but many went on spending sprees and some of those still couldn’t pay rent. Wealth distribution isn’t as great as it sounds and I’m on SSDI.

So search for a lot of domains at random to cost them some money?

So he should get the address of every single person in the country and divide his money equally among every single person and have no money for himself? Maybe only keep the same amount for himself that each other person is getting? That’s ~342 million people. Give them $3 each and no more billionaire. Worth $10B? $30 for each person.

Elon Musk is the wealthiest person in the USA and is worth $251B. $750/person would help for rent for one month. You could take money away from babies and maybe get a full month, maybe two.

Jeff Bezos is next at $161B. That’s about $480/person.

Of course, this means that their money is gone. No golden goose. Do you think that they should subsidize every person in the country?

I suspect that it’s a matter of how forward the dishwasher is.

You shouldn’t need to wash food off. Was that in the manual or something that someone told you? Just scrap off what you can. Too much gunk can clog the filter and also end up filling the base with water and tripping an E15 error.

This is my Bosch Silence Plus 44-DBa dishwasher and the buttons are still visible.

Ouch. At least there’s a plot of some sort, unlike some movies.
