@evans_cn@robertgraham I think argument is that if you total Rolls Royce that was driven by Eisenhower in Berlin in 1945 - it’s loss of unique historic artifact and a tragedy. If you total 2026 Toyota, you just get new Toyota - who cares. Lawn is more like 2026 Toyota.
@BillDA@FinTechInnov8r@Larken Warehouses generally do not have extremely noisy and polluting gas turbines. There are very few benefits to local community from data center so blocking one is a reasonable choice.
@wolfmanreid2022@jlippincott Dubai has plenty of billionaires and no homeless people on the street with or without mental illness. Allowing mentally ill people to be present on the streets is a policy choice independent of allowing billionaires to exist.
Some gas stations will hire attendants who can fuel trucks - considering it’s highway driving limited number of gas stations can fully cover the country. Trucks will be smart enough to strategically stop at attended gas stations based on some combination of gas price, distance, etc.
@norpadon@haravayin_hogh Iran War is not over and frankly time is on Iran side. End result is more and more likely to be strategic win for Iran and strategic loss for US. Though to be fair US can afford for Iran to win - that’s not the case for Russia.
@wokal_distance I wonder if some municipality tried to do progressive property taxes (eg 0.5% for <1M property, 1% for 1M to 2M and 3% on 2M+ or something like that). It can help retires and families with modest income while still collecting enough money for schools, roads, etc.
@Akemipelmeni@EldarBrodway Для большинства брекеты это эстетика - в США ставят 90% детей (судя по моему окружению) и реально медицинские показания мало у кого есть на самом деле.
@number_pizza111 IRS mileage rates are higher than actual expenses - Toyota Prious TCO per mile (if driving 30k miles/year) is $0.36 while IRS mileage rate is 0.75
@nikitabier@petersellis When travelling for work you can expense $5 (or whatever - price does not really matter, you do not pay) to wash a pair of socks but not buying a new pair.
@MELJTAIT@pleasedontatme Adjoining rooms in hotel do not have common space and kitchen with full size fridge which makes travelling with kids much more comfortable (and often cheaper as you can cook).
@BeezyManzell High prestige jobs like yours always pay at discount. Would you agree to swap roles if pay was identical? My guess is no. In addition, masters does not mean much nowadays.
