This. A good audiologist will usually start the gain pretty low, like 30% otherwise it overwhelms your brain in a way that's hard to describe but will mean you don't like it. After a few months you can have the gain turned up.

But if you can't get the settings tweaked you can just turn volume down as soon as they are turned on.

Yo, compensation doesn't matter.

Outcome per dollar matters.

Hiring people at starvation wages may work, or hiring more expensive cream of the crop may work. What I care about when I'm donating is "did my dollars accomplish what I wanted?" And "could my dollars have done more for the cause elsewhere?"

If people are making the world better and have nice office furniture I don't really begrudge them that.

Gotta break out the ol' rain bibbs, jacket, galoshes, and gloves to get up on a ladder and clean them out. Because I am worried about the foundation getting more damaged by the water runoff not being directed at least a few feet away from the house.

I get this is some kind of pedo joke but.... Help?

I like to imagine this guy in the one room in his house where he won't wake anyone up sitting on the only available floorspace recording this lovely little bit of mashup. Makes me happy.

What kind of healthcare you working in with the kind of commute? I'm good at my job nursing but I can't imagine that's someething people get flown in for.

Yes. Easy patch.

I mean, public transport is a fucking ton of money to start up, and anywhere outside an urban center it is not just a loss but almost a total loss due to distances.

I remember being in a meeting in grad school to discuss the school bus system as part of the student review of finances. We had a bus route that went to another town a good distance away, and it was nearly always empty or with like 2 people on it, so they basically said once the grant money is gone we will shut down this route. We can't afford to put good money into something expensive and isn't getting used.

I realize there is a lot about car culture feeding that, but it remains a massive obstacle. Switching from existing structures like parking etc to public transport? How? How fast? What do we do with that space? Who pays for it? I'm frustrated by the system but we can't just start from a blank slate, we have to work with it.

thats basically what I was doing at the gym, but the bikes with present modes don't have enough adjustability to fit me very well and my back ends up hurting afterwards. So I need to switch to using one of the dumb bikes with all the adjustments but no computer like what you see in a spin class.

That and my kids wouldn't stand for hours of exercise, I get like 30 minutes. I was just going indefinitely and keeping my rpm around 100, but I'm trying to mix it up

Basically do people use timers? An app that prompts you when to shift to a different speed or exercise/resistance? Watch the clock?

As title says, no idea how this might work. I found workout plans, but they are like "so many minutes doing this thing, then switch to the next thing" and I really suck at watching the clock when working out.

I like the classes locally but I'm not able to get to them with my schedule.

I agree this is likely to cause suffering cause relocating sucks, and there probably isn't shelter space for these people.

He has a valid point that the camps have a lot of negative impacts. I've seen fires started,l in my city, heard horror stories about the conditions that develop.

That said, I don't know how much better the alternative is.

About housing, I mean, it takes more than a few years to build the tens of thousands of houses needed, and every year the state assembly is doing more to help with building more dwellings and preventing local govt and orgs from blocking construction. I'm not thrilled about response but it seems like they're doing a lot to help with infill development. I'm not an expert, so feel free to correct me.

Whats an ESG?

Electronically Sourced... Giganautasaurous?

As I recall prices have been going up for a long time. Nationally I believe all fast food chains have increased prices way beyond the rate of inflation for the past 12 years.
