Fun fact is that they did during the government response to Covid.

Same thing happened with the ACA Medicaid expansion and Obama’s HSR money for Florida and Wisconsin.

At least Alberta has some pretty mountains.

Laundromats suck. No argument here.

Some places in the US have what are called “wash and folds” where your drop off your laundry and they’ll do it for you, usually charging by the pound. You pick it up folded.

Even some dry cleaners will do this.

Obviously more expensive than a laundromat, but, as always, it’s a question of how much you value your time.

During the colonization of the American West, who did your laundry mostly depended on your marital status. Since laundry was “women’s work”, bachelors wouldn’t do it. But there weren’t a lot of women around during the early era of colonization, so you got Chinese immigrants (largely from Hong Kong) who would establish these commercial laundries to cater to all the single men who couldn’t or wouldn’t do their own laundry (it was also very time-consuming and arduous work). American racism against Chinese immigrants who held these jobs led to things like the avowedly leftist Chinese Hand Laundry Alliance, which was a labor organization that fought to keep these jobs legal.

Who the fuck is “Zuby”?

The right-unionism is incompatible with the big-business base.

It’s the same reason Republicans will never do anything to completely stop visa-less immigration: they want downward pressure on wages.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but peanut butter is generally not very common in Europe. It’s usually in the “American food” section at European supermarkets.

If the question is “Will Kathy Hochul do something good?” the answer is “no”.

Y’all all forgot when Hillary ran for governor of Missouri.

Frank Sobotka: 1

This guy: 0

Maybe he did great things for New York’s bedbug population?

Sridhar spits fire all the time.

Depends on your definition of “historic”. Just because a building is old doesn’t mean it’s historic, and the bottom line is that no building is more important than unsheltered people.

PC Part Picker can give you an estimate of power usage. I just plugged in what you gave us + a random mobo and AIO and it seems to think 500W is probably too low, but if you’re buying anything pre-assembled it’s most likely calibrated correctly. Maybe they’re undervolting the GPU or the CPU, or they just have a less thirsty GPU than the random 12GB 4070 Super I picked but idk.

My instinct is that if it’s being sold as a complete system you don’t need to worry about it.

literal paypigs

On here and in the FB group NUMTOT. Lots of folks have the take that any and all for-profit housing is to be opposed.

The general arguments that are made are:

1. For profit housing takes a lot that could be used for public housing

2. New housing typically targets the top of the market and entices high-earners who speed up displacement

3. The idea that new condos are bought primarily to sit as empty investments in expensive areas

I don’t agree with all or parts of most of these.

I agree but I still get yelled at for it a lot in leftist spaces.
