I honestly think there’s a gray area here and it’s worth talking to a lawyer if anything. There are certainly some protections for peoples under 40. Being denied a promotion because you’re “too young” is certainly a protection. The catch is you have to prove it.

This case is easy to prove though if there are any laws over this.

Edit: but now that I think about it, this is only really a protection if you’re already hired at the place. If you just slam the door on people before they can get in, discrimination seems to be legal.

Hey now, dontcha know they mark up prices if you pay with insurance? It’s how the drug companies get even more money!

If you quit your job, the medication might actually be only $4k!

/s

I can’t wait for when medical implants require a subscription so that I can routinely pay to live a normal life!

/s because it seems like it’s still needed even if it feels obvious

You’re going to get numbers all over the place lol.

I’m $70 for a gig up and down. My parents are $150 for 150mb down and either 15mb or 25mb up. They also have a 1 gig soft cap before getting throttled.

Lower Decks is the entire reason I’ve even begun my Star Trek adventure. I’d watch Trek occasionally whenever it was on TV, but now I’ve watched all of LD, DISC, SNW, TOS, the first 6 movies, 6 seasons of TNG, and 1 Season of ENT in like the past 2 months or so.

IDGAF IM HERE TO STAY. LEMMY IS COOL AND WTF EVEN IS A SNOO 😤😤😤

Yeah, I’d consider myself comfortable with ladders and with heights. I’ve climbed higher things than this. But you’re right, they can be dangerous. I know how to respect them outside the house, but inside the house just feels more sketchy because I have to be aware of myself and any potential damage to the house. Don’t want to make the wife mad 😅.

Ah interesting point about the weight distribution. I agree then; I should be fine!

Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing anything I should be considering.

Well it’s a good thing hospitals are safe from being a military target. Right guys?

What have you done to me, I’m in this position myself too because of the picture.

I’m late to the Nix party. I do the bare minimum just for my at home media server. I guess it’s a good time to get caught up on my Linux knowledge again.

It has a great effect if you binge The Best of Both Worlds while stoned right before it too. Can confirm.

Omg what does this mean 😭😭

It truly, truly, truly depends where you live.

In my neck of the woods, I can get 1.5 gigs for $85usd a month. In the same state, in my “small” home town (population 10k), you’d be lucky to find 30mbs for less than $135 a month.

I binged like the last quarter of the 2nd season really stoned the first time around. 10/10 experience. Honestly it was awesome. Would do again.

That’s about $105k in today’s dollars.

You know, typical middle class income. /s

Go back even further! The cage almost canceled the entire show because a woman was merely implied to be captaining the ship for a quick while 😰😰

It is because of this shit that I’m now finished with Discovery, Lower Decks, 5 episodes into SNW, 20 Episodes into ENT, and 1.75 seasons through TOS.

What an Inspiring place 🖖

How do you remove the paywall from the article? Just copy the URL of the article and provide it to archive.today, and that website just bypassed the paywall? How do they manage to bypass it? O.o

Hunt is why I’m still rocking windows too 😭

Well that, and some work stuff that doesn’t work on Linux, bleh

Yeah I have no idea where this idea came from because it simply isn’t true in other countries if you are from the US.

Sure, modern rail starts falling short when you start doing long distances like from New York to Los Angeles.

However, for medium long distances, this is absolutely false.

Distance wise, a trip from Beijing to Shanghai is comparable to Chicago to New York or about 100 miles short compared to Dallas to Chicago.

Sure, a flight does that same distance in 2hrs 18minuties on average.

But compare that to the train cost only being $30 and showing up every 30 minutes as opposed to 4 times that amount for a plane ticket. If you miss that plane as well, then you’re SOL so you better show up to the airport two hours early according to the FAA!

No, I’m not some user from hex bear simping over China either. The sleeper car I was referring to was from Paris to Venice. Was like $70 for two. Departed at night, went to sleep, and woke up in the morning to keep enjoying my vacation. Sure, not as fast as the Chinese train, but this European train is also dated compared to that bullet train, plus there are way more mountains to traverse in this route. And it was absolutely lovely as opposed to playing $500 per ticket for a flight to the same destination.

A proper bullet train setup in the US, especially through the Midwest, not only would make travel cheaper, but you’d make rural towns more attractive to live in if a 2 -> 4 hour drive to the closest big city turns into a 30 minute train trip.
