Depending on where you're at, wages can be very low, and any change in the price of commodities can have a huge impact.

Tipping and asking for money in general has gotten out of hand. I can't perform any transaction now without getting asked for more money.

Comment on Militarized Cybertruck cop cars are coming in ~transport
Webwulf Link ParentI think the longest police chase was 50 miles with the average being about 3.5. I think the top cybertruck has a range of 340 miles so it should be good for a chase or several.I think the longest police chase was 50 miles with the average being about 3.5.

We came from overseas so were surprised by a lot of things. Exceptional increase on the price, asking for a tip for everything as well as a donation to an ambiguous cause, city and state taxes, and then multiple fees for things that should be part of the cost of doing business.

Comment on Price fixing by algorithm is still price fixing in ~finance
Webwulf Link ParentI guarantee that if there is a drop in the price of beef and I demand a cheaper burger I won't get very far. But maybe that's what we should do? Go back to haggling for prices.I guarantee that if there is a drop in the price of beef and I demand a cheaper burger I won't get very far. But maybe that's what we should do?

Switzerland is great but it's expensive and for the alps it will be difficult to haul the kids around. Budapest might be a better option, it's a beautiful city and less expensive. I don't know if you're going to be based out of Milan or another airport in Northern Italy but I would look for direct flights out of that airport as it would be easier with the kiddos.

I have a small pocket notebook for work, a larger book for meetings and a large notebook for my daily quad chart for prioritizing my day. For personal I keep composition notebooks through the years which has mostly been just a stream of thoughts after significant life events. However for the last 3 months I've been keeping another book focusing on development and mindful improvements in myself. It's helpful in staying on track but painful identifying character flaws. I haven't found a good digital medium I have been able to stick with yet.

Comment on Finnish study shows that there is little direct effect of “leisure time physical activity” on lifespan – what makes this study different from others, and is it right? in ~health

But I like how they talk about the quality of those latter years. I always tell people I don't run to live forever, but I want to be able to function later in life.

It's a win for everyone but it's not a hot button issue so it won't even get to the floor.This is my go to example when I tell people how dysfunctional congress is.

I live in Italy so it was a different take on wine as far as atmosphere goes and we really enjoyed it. If you enjoy art you are going to the right place, the museums are incredible. For food be sure to visit café central, the breakfast was good but the cake was divine.

Webwulf LinkMy favorite thing to do in Prague was the beer spa, there are multiple ones around the city. It's fun to roam around the old town, just wear good shoes are the cobble stone can hurt after a few miles.My favorite thing to do in Prague was the beer spa, there are multiple ones around the city.

I only have used traceroute within my own boundary and even then maybe once or twice. Great article on network engineering though, it is so hard to explain some of these issues to people without knowledge on how the equipment works.
