The part in the article that is actually of interest to me focuses on the tax revenue section. Can someone versed in this explain?

My initial reaction is b.s. Companies building these data centers, in many instances, get tax breaks to start building. On top if it they get different breaks on cost of electricity or materials. And on top of it, we all know that corporates pay less taxes than individuals already. And last but not least, data centers don't require a lot of staff, so there is no "trickle down".

Curious to understand this better.

I’ve recently began getting spam with random digits in front of @mydomain, and even a “wtfwtf@mydomain”.

I think the times of catch all domain working are over. Now I’m fully transitioning to SimpleLogin.

YNAB drastically changed their pricing (double for "grandfathered" customers), but even more importantly American Express import has been broken for about 6 months now. That was the final straw.

Aldi definitely varies by area, in my experience. We have 2 Aldis in our area and one was nicer than the other. Than they remodeled the older one and now they are comparable.

I have every possible grocery chain around me and I still choose Aldi. Sure the selection is smaller and mostly non brand names, but that's why I go there. $50 can get you a variety of produce and meats, while $50 at a place like Publix gets you barely anything.

I would gladly switch but Firefox Containers are irreplaceable.

This is such a reach. Looking for something to be offended by.

Between listening and reading physical books, probably average 1.5 hours a day. It has increased from about zero in the last 2 years since I've taken my reading interests more seriously.

Surely, there is a ton of money in providing reports to some micromanager boss. If a business fills that niche, is it irresponsible on the business or is it just them finding a market fit?

Sweet, great to hear! On a similar note, did the new RT lose integrations? I can't seem to find that page.

Are there any plans to allow blocking specific applications?

I'll copy paste what i said in another comment:People don't know the basics of changing lanes, passing slower vehicles, u-turns, planning for their exits, etc etc etc.

The DMV test is a joke. The 15 minute test in a quiet neighborhood does not prepare you to be a proper participant on the road.

People don't know the basics of changing lanes, passing slower vehicles, u-turns, planning for their exits, etc etc etc. People text and drive due to the most basic misunderstanding of how dangerous driving is and how much damage they can cause to others.

Maybe the root cause is the laughably easy barrier of entry to have a license to drive a death missile? It's a multi faceted issue of course, but to me, getting better educated drivers on the road is by far the easiest problem to solve around driving.

It's actually more like 330ish according to some sources, but the point still stands.
