This reminds me of my idea to replace EBT with unlimited amounts of soylent

Well, they did just spend an enormous amount on building a new tower on Park Ave.

The meals are pricey, no doubt, but the app is where the real value is.

In NYC, I’ve scored insanely cheap deals—last week I got 10 chicken nuggets for $1. Right now, I’ve got a 50¢ double cheeseburger offer staring me down. I’d redeem it daily if it weren’t for health reasons (it says once a week, but for me, it’s somehow available every day).

And don’t sleep on the $6 meal deal: a McDouble, 4-piece chicken nuggets, small fries, and a small drink. For six bucks, that’s tough to beat!

In theory it sounds great, but try interviewing with companies and see their reaction when you tell them you can't start for > 6 months.

Sure, like Fukushima, which is rare, and had a single death?

Nice, now I can visualize how much more I'm paying after the shutdown of Indian Point nuclear plant in favor of expensive fossil fuels.

Just curious, has anyone ever had a candidate actually fail FizzBuzz in front of them? I think the original statement was something like 90% of candidates can't do it. In my experience, every single candidate I have ever given that question succeeds. When I am asked FizzBuzz on an interview, I am actually insulted.

If the childhood mortality risk associated with Covid is comparable to the flu (which seems to be the case) why weren't we masking every child before Covid?

> Their choice to not be vaccinated or wear masks results in people we love dying.

It's hard to see how vaccines stop the spread when places like NYC or Israel (some of the most vaccinated places in the world) had record setting numbers in the recent wave.

If vaccines work, shouldn't the "people you love" be vaccinated and thus not impacted by unvaccinated people?

I understand masks can be effective in some cases, but is it really reasonable to demand people wear surgical or N95 masks all the time to prevent "people you love" from getting an illness with a 99.99% survival rate?

My 5X died in my pocket before a year of usage. Just died and wouldn't turn on. I called support and they said to ship it out, and I would have a new one in about a week. Never mind 1) phones shouldn't just randomly die, and 2) a week without a phone??? Switched to iPhone and never looked back.
