This is a good move for wiki maintainers and users. Fandom needs to lose their stranglehold over the wiki farm “market”. Info like this shouldn’t be polluted and bloated with advertisements and it shouldn’t be able to be modified by the whims of Fandom either.

I had to go re-check my settings and saw that a lot of my “mark posts as read” options were unticked

For me there doesn’t seem to be an icon anymore, but instead the titles get a little bit darker. I also don’t have a button that lets me hide read posts either, but it might be because a setting got reset

It also seems like the devs introduced a bunch of regressions with the latest big update and have been quietly adding back in features. Things like instance/content filters, multiple accounts, and read settings were quietly added back in

A class 3 e-bike that weighs ~35-40lbs and looks a lot like a bike is really amazing to see. The steep price tag (~$3800) is not something I would purchase on a whim, but would consider given a few years time to save and ponder

I’d like to see this trend continue, but I do disagree with the gravel bike. It seems like gravel bikes are the crossovers of the bike world.

You’ll probably need to provide more details about the premiums, deductibles, and out-of-pocket maximums of PPO vs HDHP, projected healthcare costs (at least your current year costs so far), and how much you are able to stomach for the cost now vs later

PPO might be better if you can stomach the premiums and hit your deductible early enough. HDHP might be better if you can stomach the higher deductible and reimburse yourself years down the line after your HSA has had some time to be invested and grow from its investments

It’s hard to say without concrete numbers and only going based off thoughts and feelings

I asked my vegan friend if they “swallow” and they said yes, because there was consent to do so. I’d go as far to extend that logic to breast milk being vegan too

If the former was for pleasure and is vegan, then surely the latter for nourishment is also vegan too. With the basis that both were consensual

He’s recently released a video where he admits that he has had a “home base” for a few months (probably around 6 months at this point). For good reason too, basically his support network needed to be able to reliably plan to meet him at one place. It’s not like he’s renting an apartment to sleep in every night, but rather he’s using it as a place in between long trips where he can rest and his network can stop by and visit

Granted, he hasn’t had a home base for like years (2020/2021ish). Still, he has a cool channel and gives a more normal vibe than other vanlifers

The ‘H’ and ‘S’ in Rhode Island are already silent, so it really is a meme saying that they live in Rhode Island

It’s a subversion of the “I live in Spain, but the ‘S’ is silent” joke

As long as you follow the rules of the road, I’m cool with it. The problems I have are with scooter users who ride against traffic

And personally I wouldn’t want you to go on the sidewalk. I’d rather you stay the course and let me pass as it is a bit more predictable that way

After that? An M1 Abrams. He just wanted to stop by and ask some questions

If you’re unfamiliar, the deductions they are talking about is a shift meal deduction. IIRC, I think it’s a 2 tier deduction where if you work like ~6 or less you get a meal deducted from the shift you worked and 6+ is two meals from your paycheck. The hour amount might be different, but there is a tiered system to it

It’s a fair ask, because some people do not want to eat Waffle House. Tho tbf, managers probably don’t even track if you ate meals at all and I have eaten more than 2 meals on shift

In any case, I do believe that there should be a clause stating that wages should increase a certain amount to keep up with CoL changes

While it was an interesting time working there, it was by no means an easy time. They do deserve higher wages and a safer work env
