That's exactly what I ate :)
Only time I've eaten meat in the past ~30 years was when I ate some invasive fish that had been caught in a killathon to restore native habitat. Not that it's my role to "give you a pass," but I certainly do in this case!

That claims ~$420k compensation with ~$25k "other." If he is playing any substantial role in bringing in $100M+ funds for a good cause, I'd say this person's compensation isn't something I'm going to get worked up about. For VHCOL areas this is middle class household income (looks like they're based in NY NY, so...VHCOL).
If you eat basically any form of meat, I have some bad news for you...
I'm too lazy to verify my hunch, but I'm guessing Texas is largely oil (exploiting natural resources), whereas California is largely intellectual output (tech, with some Hollywood and other sundry stuff), though California certainly does exploit its natural resources too (good farming conditions, some oil...).
It's a pretty standard bandwidth/latency tradeoff in my view: email is high bandwidth (it's in writing, you can re-read, etc.), whereas phone is low latency (several back-and-forth explanations can happen in seconds). Each has its place.
If social anxiety is a factor, that's a perfectly valid, but separate, issue.
Well, yeah
dude's brake cables are missing!
Yeah, though it looks like the cyan (which would be ~500nm) is actually false color UV image, judging by the same color scale as this https://www.nasa.gov/image-detail/5-3-2024_sdo_x1pt6_flare_131/
Awesome, thanks for the detailed answer!
Can we please not do this on Lemmy? Pun comment threads are just the wurst.
>2000 mile flight. Not crazy long but not short. (The state of Alaska was not involved, just the airline.)
People often complain about San Francisco's public transit
and to be sure, it's not perfect by any means (multiple separate agencies doesn't help). But the historic streetcars are pretty neat!
They're painted with the livery of various historic streetcars from all over the country (and a few international, I think). Best of all, they run alongside the modern fleet
same route, same fare.
States != cities, e.g., https://underscoresf.com/heres-what-you-make-as-a-low-income-earner-in-san-francisco/
If you own own a modest place (<2000 square feet) in a decent (not "old money") neighborhood in San Francisco and have kids, I would be shocked if your household income isn't $350k+/year. If that's considered "upper class" then it's a very sad statement about how standards of living have degraded
this is likely comfortable living but it is not exotic car + first class airfare money. And it's almost certainly "less house" than you'd like.
And unless you inherited a lot, you definitely need to keep working to afford that modest lifestyle.
