How long before we get some quality analysis on how badly the Census was fucked up?
Saved by the bell: the apartment?

Sitting through a 2 hour health insurance orientationâŚ
Its fucking unbelievable that we still tie this shit to employment. Depending on where I work, I can pay $0 for full health coverage or 20% of my salary for the privelage of paying 30% of my health bills up to 18K in a year.
Its ludicrous. How have we not risen up against this yet?

Because theyâre reeeeeeally fucking good at making these people
do everything possible to continue fucking over these people
My employer has always offered us full coverage, although there have been a few years where they decided the employees needed to get some skin in the game. One time they made us contribute $10 per check or some other stupidly small amount, another time we had tiered coverage where high earners had to contribute 10% and lower earners contributed 5% or something like that. Meanwhile weâve been in business for 45+ years and as far as I know weâve never had an annual budget but somehow they just knew that making employees pay for a tiny fraction of their health coverage would save the company money.

A couple of years ago my city gave me (and installed) a free smart thermostat to help promote energy savings.
Now, they want me to enroll in a program where on peak energy use days they can remotely control the temperature in my house in order to limit energy use. For that, theyâll give me $50/year.
Governmental overreach!

Me too alough itâs mostly to do with all the other water areas, like the running stream & the small pool inside the house, the ceilings are absolutely amazing too and the colours just wow me, even if Iâm colour blind 
Also you canât do drugs inside the compound. So tent cities usually spring up outside them and people go back and forth to do drugs or just hangout outside the sterile environment.
I do this sort of thing at work. What do you think?
On the one hand, somebody else deciding what temperature is appropriate for the inside of my house seems low-key 1984ish.
On the other hand, if the grid is overloaded they could just shut our power down altogether anyway. If enough people agree to voluntarily limit their consumption, then maybe that wouldnât be necessary.
Okay. I think you arent alone in that perspective. What about if you got a text message asking you to switch stuff off for 2 hours?
We would pay you $20 everytime you were able to drop your usage in that period 30% over your last 10 day average.
Am I supposed to only offer my opinion online when specifically asked for it? Uh oh.
Hi Bryce

We used to have pretty good kebabs here but unfortunately theâve went downhill since kebabish went out of business and tbh Iâve been after a decent kebab all this week, now that weâre out of lockdown I may take myself for a treat over to the south side too see whatâs what.

I tried that German Kebab place (I do not recommend) and it was what youâd expect from the Germans, clean well cut pieces of meat with loads of cabbage and reb cabbage. 
And the bread wasnât even soft.
