Conservative news circles have had this latent anti-NYC thing going on since Trump admonished it as a liberal mecca during his presidency.

Then when the pandemic hit and NYC was devastated, they were practically holding group orgy parties to get each other off about the fall of the city.

Then when the city started bouncing back it became "Well no, it's bouncing back as a dangerous crime ridden hell hole."

The "NYC is dangerous" thing is literally just conservative cope for the failed collapse during the pandemic.

I'd single out Garmin especially for the HN crowd.

While other watches seem to go in the "consumers like their data in simple colored blobs and are scared of numbers", Garmin goes hard on "chart and graph everything"

Spray the atmosphere with reflective particles and work relentlessly to get CO2 out of the air.

Google has to dump Sundar and bring in a more old school leader. Google is a massive company and has to stop doing it's "everything is beta all the time, with teams internally competing for the same territory"

I'm so put off by it, and been made a fool by it so many times, I'm phasing out Google in my life and long ago stopped recommending Google products to people in my life.

It's a band aid to bridge the gap between the insane demand in HCOL areas and the inability to find labor in those markets.

How can you staff a warehouse for $15/hr in places were a studio starts at $1250/mo?

I wouldn't be one bit surprised of Amazon starts getting into real estate, offering employees monthly "rent vouchers".

>She felt like her ego was being inflated in a way that was unhealthy, and so she turned away from online dating and eventually met her fiancé through mutual friends.

I am not surprised she is engaged.

Yeah, but the counter to all that is building new housing, which unsurprisingly very difficult in these areas.

I searched for most valuable beanie babies and found a site that said the Princess Di bear is worth $500k. The completed auctions on ebay reveal a market price of....$4.50

I vaped and got covid (march 2020). When I got sick I obviously didn't vape for a few days. Tried it once I felt a bit better and coughed immediately. Put it down and told myself I would wait until I was 100% better.

Still waiting unfortunately. Silver lining I guess is that I am off nicotine for a year.
