The US army spends about $700 million on recruitment [0]. While that number has been higher recently since becoming an all volunteer army recruitment has been an expensive challenge.…
I suspect someone joining the military after being in college and private industry has a higher chance of completing the pilot program than someone 18-20 years old which make up the bulk of the military recruits.…

Imagine a world where one county underfunds infrastructure because of 5G health fears, but another country does not. Wouldn’t the county that implemented the infrastructure have a competitive advantage?
Imagine not paying and losing access to childcare when you need it again.
What are the chances that these strikes can lead to a union? I imagine a grocery store workers union could do a lot for the health of its workers now.
Look at Trump’s press release today.
How is this not an infringement on the right to assemble?
Right, the actual number of cases is almost certainly over 1. The parent comment just said Idaho had no reported cases which is factually incorrect. The first reported case was on Friday.
Small nit: Boise has one recorded case. It was recorded Friday.
(a) and (c) sound like problems that are solved with very common household equipment.
I moved from Seattle to the midwest. I’ve seen a lot of very intolerable lines in the suburbs. It’s not unusual for me to wait 15 minutes to checkout at Target or Costco and last December I remember a 25 minute line. I…
The fake screenshots and the fake videos are both troublesome. How do we know what’s true and what isn’t? How many false facts do you believe? I can imagine a world where false tweets/videos/headlines are generated…
Sometimes I get conned into buying a game that’s a large series of cutscenes with poor gameplay elements, but there are actually a large number of really good games released every year, even today. In the 90s there were…
I greatly prefer the longer lasting psychedelics — a six hour mushroom trip feels a bit rushed for me. I have a theory that a large part of the benefit of psychedelics is taking some time, attention, and intention into…
Electrical plugs also haven’t had any real innovations since the ground wire. I hope to see innovations in power/data cables to cellphones more frequently than that! Edit: even if the innovations is just faster data…
You say that like writing plugins is hard or undesirable.

Cool! This feature was not available when I last used Spotify, which was admittedly years ago.
Can I rip my own CDs and import them into Spotify or am I limited to the music provided by the Spotify streaming service? I think this is what is meant by a “music library”
I have a very sparsely furnished and decorated single family home. I felt intense pressure to buy because the cost of houses was increasing faster than my salary. Purchasing a home felt like a closing window of…
Or maybe there was a whole lot more fossil fuel in the past.
You gave a great answer to my question. Thank you.
