    Your rent right now can be thought of as a large payment split into 12 equal pieces (even though months aren’t actually equal) and your rent payment is just 1/12 of that. If there were 13 months it would just be split into 1/13 so each months payments would be slightly smaller to be the same total

    If we transitioned it would take years and for at least some amount of time of overlap they would show both prices so it would be much harder for them to just jack up the price like they would prefer to do


  • I wrote a school report about iter back in middle school or high school when it was still in the design process and still occasionally check their job listings because I would love to work there and on fusion but we still don’t know if it will ever work like we hit the scientific breakeven with inertial confinement but the scaling on that is terrible and I don’t believe we hit even the scientific breakeven with magnetic confinement

    Then we still need to harness the energy from that turn it into work, turn that into electricity and distribute it with enough excess to pay for the whole system which is still a lot of hurdles we need to climb




  • That’s why people get liability insurance instead,

    The average new car is 50k, many cars are a lot more and medical expenses can be crazy. If you accidentally total a 100k sedan and the driver ends up with a broken bone you could be forced essentially into a life of indentured servitude with 50% of your wages garnished for life



  • Colorado has some ranching but is primarily a place for people who love to excercise in nature whether it be skiing, biking, climbing, hiking, etc and that culture is just as true in buena vista as it is in the front range. Cheyenne has some people like that but by and large it’s way more ranchers and farmers and when people do like to do things in nature it’s much more likely to be using some form of motorized vehicle

    Laramie is more like Colorado but just looking at a voting map would pretty clearly show how different the culture is from the rest of the Wyoming area then from the front range

    I would mostly maintain the Wyoming border except maybe trade Laramie for sterling then extend the western border to include telluride, crested butte, glenwood springs, steamboat springs and Laramie which while different than the front range they have much more in common then Cheyenne







  • Trainees aren’t as good at the job as someone who is experienced

    People with disabilities who can do the job without accommodations want full wages, the ones with accommodations need accommodations that can make the amount saved not worth it

    Desperate people are no longer desperate after they get a job and can then apply for a better position somewhere else so the company has the same problem as hiring trainees

    Companies do outsource a lot but generally the people who aren’t outsourced an impractical to outsource

    As for a company that does hire the disabled, skillcraft employs the blind to make office supplies for the U.S. government. They don’t need to worry as much about being competitive because of a law passed that says that all office supplies must be purchased from a company that predominately hires the blind







  • Most road bikers aren’t assholes, some are that give the rest a bad name.

    As a mountain biker, those large E-bikes also sometimes rip up trails with monstrous torque and inexperienced riders who will do things like ride in muddy conditions.

    Mountain bikers also get into arguments with atv, dirt bikers, horse riders, and gun enthusiasts

    The atvs and dirt bikers rip up trails, horse riders get right of way and shit all over trails and gun enthusiasts sometimes shoot guns without a safe backdrop that involves bullets going through bike paths…
