Re: Sense of humour differences

Oh the irony of robin complaining about someone's "contemptuousness". Look in the mirror, or at least at your post history. Also, nothing in my post is "contemptuous" in the slightest.

Also, this...

Re: Sense of humour differences

These types of posts fundamentally misunderstand just how huge and diverse the US is. The US is not monolithic. I currently work with people from all over the world: India, Malaysia, Russia, Spain. I...

Re: Massachusetts salary?

I'll provide details. Please keep in mind that while the rest of this may seem more than a little "first world problems" -ish... I AM NOT COMPLAINING about any of this. I feel very fortunate and...

Re: Massachusetts salary?

I think $130k for an entire family is going to be tight, especially in Boston. For comparison, I earn about $290K/year and my wife makes about $100K/year. We have two kids in college and live in a...

Re: Robocop comes to San Francisco

Alternative explanation: the homeless problem is indicative of decades of well-intentioned but ultimately disastrous policies that fail to deal with drug addiction and fail to help people with...

Re: Apple iPod 2001-2022

I was an early subscriber to Spotify when it first became available. I remember my friends being confused by streaming: "what do you mean, you don't own the music?" or "what if they remove the album...

Re: California - departures and arrivals

Housing prices in California are going up because demand exceeds supply.

The population of California is going down.

A thought: both of these things can be true at the same time.

Also, I'm...

Re: Pandemic Burnout

I think you need to have a mindset shift. I don't believe this is ever going to be "over". Covid will become an endemic virus, it will continue to mutate and spew out new variants for the rest of...

Re: WTF in America

I can say that this case has become a bit of a cause celebre in the cycling community. This type of dangerous driving followed by complete inaction from the police is all too common these days and...

Re: Curious on US health insurance

A "nice middle class existence"... :rolleyes: Thanks for the patronizing and pigeonholing. Also appreciate the lecturing on how "blissfully unaware" I am as a "middle class" person. You know nothing...

Re: Curious on US health insurance

I believe the main reason there's been no change to the healthcare system in the US is that many, many people have good employer-sponsored health insurance that they like. These people also tend to...

Re: Where is the anger?

No. Where are you getting that? The latest CDC study shows a 91% reduction in infection risk. https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/p0607-mrna-reduce-risks.html

Note that risk of infection and...

Re: Where is the anger?

I'm also surprised at the lack of anger... at people who STILL refuse to get vaccinated here in the US.

The proof is incontrovertible. As one example, my county maintains a very easy to understand...

Re: Tendency amongst young American women to employ Vocal Fry

If you like vocal fry, you'll love cursive singing. Once you put a name to it, you hear it everywhere:

Re: UFOs

Interestingly, it's the Pentagon who commissioned the report not Rubio. He just appears to the congressional "sponsor".

Re: UFOs

The A-12 Oxcart was first flown in 1962 and that aircraft was capable of remarkable performance even by today's standards. That was only ~18 years after very early jets like the ME 262 and the...

Re: WTF in America

Re: Covid-19 Vaccination -- Have You Gotten It?

Woke up feeling slightly hung over from J&J, a feeling that passed with some coffee and two ibuprofen. Maybe symptoms will develop over the next couple of days? Regardless, feeling swell right now.

Re: Covid-19 Vaccination -- Have You Gotten It?

My fillings reverberate with the Q-ray emanations from Sector 12. I hear the song "The Good Ship Lollipop" constantly.

Re: Covid-19 Vaccination -- Have You Gotten It?

I drove 650 miles total today to get a shot of J&J. I am now a lizard person under the control of Bill Gates.
