Yes, there is a low unemployment number. As with the rest, you haven’t validated that it’s a good measure of the current state of things. It’s arguably never been.

Yes, definitely increased some. Where’s the rest of the data, such as part time or unemployed, or even population growth? Like I said, a single number means not so much without context. But it’s an impressive graph.
Curious what shift there has been in full time/part time numbers. Full time wages going up is great for those who are experiencing it, but if there are less actual full timers, is that an improvement?
The art of a good statistician is to make sure what their numbers are saying is an actual reflection of reality. I’m not saying this graph is falsified, I don’t know. But numbers can be made to say anything. I learned this years ago in arguments about what “unemployment” meant. It’s much more complex than a single number, but a single number is used in the media because it’s easier to paint the picture wanted.
Usenet. Go back to the base level.
I’ve come to the conclusion that all these breach notices and the free stuff they offer for X months is a huge scam to get you sign up up for something. Either that, or every company has woefully underpaid/incompetent IT people. I’m waiting for the next news story to break on another company that somehow got passwords or identity info hacked that was stored in plain text…something I learned how to not do back in the 90s with basic HTML and PHP.
In short - I don’t believe them. They all are using the same form letters, it’s a scheme that they’re all in on.
The issue isn’t the prices. It’s that the prices go up but income doesn’t. Get out the pitchforks, but let’s go after the real villains.
They shouldn’t in principle, but they don’t have a Constitutional reason they shouldn’t be doing it.
Aside from the orbit change mentioned, the huge increase in stellar radiation would certainly blow much of the lighter elements including water away. The core and some residuals that might remain on the far sides would be all that’s left.
I get the humor in the irony, and it’s a meme place, but never give an inch. A private school can do what they want, but public is owned by the people, and there cannot be discrimination with religious stances. So therefore, no side can be chosen, even in jest.
Not a fan of the theocracy that’s been allowed to seep in over many decades being wrapped in falsities.
Related, but I’d say Falcon Heavy is. Especially if you add in the dual booster landings.
Another popup ad.
Since Jesus would love all the people they hate, yes they would.
I know you’re asking for a single place to go, which isn’t going to happen until “modern” places that were captured by Google and the like turn into the old places. Sometimes you can dig into old archives and find pieces of things that were digitized. Put enough of them together and you might get some answers. It’s difficult and very regional dependent on what was done over the decades. Just finding an online copy of old highway maps is a challenge, and I figured that would be easy. But if you can find some sources, it’s fascinating to try and overlay old and new and see just how much has (and hasn’t) changed. I’ve found old roads in my area that were cut up by newer and by lots of development, but are still there, just not connected in the same way.
Spore made a huge impact, not only in mainstreaming the idea of an evolving game but in the ability to control characteristics and shape interactively and easily. Plus being able to share creations online was huge, even though so many of them ended up in certain shapes (humans being humans). Where I think Spore failed is in trying to rush through the first stages and get to the “civilization” parts. It would have better if it had a slower pace staying within the animal world. They also failed when they dumbed down and sanitizing the original game, which was much more violent (see the demo with Robin Williams)…but that’s how nature is.
Thrive is very impressive, but it might be too realistic in its complexity and trying to include everything and that will keep it from getting popular. If I remember you can dial it back some, but it’s still very technical compared to the simplicity that made Spore work. Maybe there can’t be a good middle ground.
Does playing a white guy playing a black guy count?
“What do you mean, you people?”
“What do YOU MEAN, you people??”
Plus one less plane needs one more replacement, job creation.
It was memes they got addicted to.
Depends on the cat. If they’re simply going with tapping the roll to spin it, that may work for a bit. I’ve found that rolls accessible to a cat tend to morph into big balls of clawed unusable pulp.
