The calculator defaults to semi-monthly and I think the original commenter didn't change it. Also, it defaults to your current location so the take-home will be different for everyone running the calculator (because taxes). $78k is $6500 a month BEFORE TAXES.

But that's my point, employers are giving it (kinda, I'll circle-back to this). The full-time offer has gone up $9k in the last 12 months. Contrasted with the ask that has only gone up $6k in that same time-frame.

Now, is $70k a livable wage? Hard to say without a more specific location. In bumfuck Alabama, probably. In LA, hell no.

So:

The average reservation wage of U.S. jobs seekers — the lowest annual pay workers would accept for a new job — climbed to a record high of $78,645 in July, up from $72,873 at the same time last year, according to the survey.

Combined with:

Yet the average full-time wage offer received in the past four months was $69,475, itself a marked increase from $60,764 last July.

So that's a ~13.5% increase in full-time wage offers vs a ~7.5% increase in ask. This seems like a non-story then, yes? Inflation has pushed wages higher which has pushed expectations higher. However, the offer increase is higher than the ask increase so... Am I missing something here?

I'm kinda surprised this wasn't the original announcement. I figured it would just move to a paid feature. Maybe the initial tweet (or whatever the fuck we call an X) was just to get attention.

2.75 on a 20 year when I refinanced in...2020 I think. You can bet your ass I have zero plans to sell. I would like some more land but not right now.

Unfortunately, probably someone getting hurt or killed. To the GQP the political violence is a feature, not a bug. I hope I'm wrong.

I hate how "hack" is used for any kind of breach. This is 100% credential re-use or a shit password:

The attackers appear to be using leaked credentials or brute-forcing to attempt to take control of a large number of LinkedIn accounts.

And

For accounts that are appropriately protected by strong passwords and/or two-factor authentication, the multiple takeover attempts resulted in a temporary account lock imposed by the platform as a protection measure.

That's not to say LinkedIn isn't a steaming pile of garbage, but to say this is a "hack" is disingenuous.

And what, exactly, has he faced in terms of consequences for anything during his 77 years on this rock? There is pretty much zero chance he sees any jail time and he's well aware of this. So what has he got to loose? Might as well stir up shit in prep for a Jan 6 v2 in 2025.

If there was a paid service that did the same I would happily pay for it.

This is what the OG Netflix was. It solved the delivery issue Gabe has so famously talked about. I stopped pirating when Netflix launched and used it for years. Then every company had to splinter out their own streaming service taking a reasonable monthly fee back to cable prices and a fragmented ecosystem. I've gone back to solving the delivery issue with a $60 a year VPN and piracy. Am I proud about it? Absolutely not. Am I going to continue until there is a better answer? 100%. We've gone SIGNIFICANTLY backwards from where Netflix started.

And yes, I get I can subscribe to services here and there then drop them but that still comes back to the delivery issue. I have to actively manage services and make sure I cancel them when I don't need them anymore. This is a huge inconvenience and not something I have a desire to try and manage. Give me back my OG Netflix dammit!

Former President & Director-Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Sherrilyn Ifill, argued that a different defendant would be treated differently.

I'll take "No shit Sherlock" for $500 Alex. It's so fucking blatantly obvious how there are two different tiers of justice in the US. If you or me did that our asses would already be in jail.

Meth lab? My brother is a firefighter (not in PA) and has encountered a fair few of those throughout the years.
