I still have a checkbook for the occasional handy man that doesn’t want cash or transfer. I’m pretty sure most apps take a cut from business accounts, and others will report to the IRS when you make a certain amount, so for some workers it makes sense to avoid the apps.

Zelle is somehow the one that is usually free and does not report, but my credit union has a daily limit for Zelle transfers, so if the bill is larger, I offer payment in check as an alternative to cash since it’s safer.

I think the generalization isn’t really about white men per se, but about the demographic in power. Give a group unchecked power long enough and they forget how that came to be. I agree that it’s not a rule, and maybe should be expressed as more of a heuristic: if you are speaking to someone that is in power, and you don’t look like them, they might think you are not empowered.

Don’t let the lack of nuance in that statement take away from all the very valid points being made. The plight is real, and hopefully the white men who are enlightened enough to not confuse circumstance with natural order will read and know to not take it personally.

I think HVAC will continue to be a necessity, especially considering the changes in climate we’ve seen. It’s true that demand is seasonal though, so maybe you just need something temporary, at least until summer?

In regards to a career change, if you’re serious, don’t be deterred by the sunk cost fallacy. If you’re not familiar with the idea, look it up: there’s a lot of research and advice on how sunk cost tricks people. The gist of it is that yes, past investment in something matters, but only to the extent that the alternative can compensate for it in the long run.

Do the research on the alternative and crunch the numbers, if you’d be better off doing something else and it’s promising then you should consider it seriously. Just remember what you learned: sometimes jobs come and go.

Yes, please elaborate. I can’t tell if I agree or not.

Just curious, what’s the site called?

Not necessarily, communist governments sound a lot like the application of force and control over resources because smaller communities are not trusted to do it fairly.

I think the show does a good job at showing how easy it is for Dale and Bill to swap too. Just recently watched the episode where they basically end up in a ditch because they didn’t really know how to use a digger - it’s hard to tell who is dragging down who.

That’s not entirely true. The publisher can still set some rules around what they want to allow, like no gambling, etc.

Buddhism has some interesting takes on this. In particular, I really enjoyed The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, written by Sogyal Rinpoche.

For Christmas, all I want is an illustration of the Eucharist before/after.

My 2.5 toddler got a little collectible car. It somehow exploded into all its tiny parts on the first trip to the ground, which of course was shortly after opening.

This means that the sender includes a list-unsubscribe header, which is supported by a lot of email clients. Not sure if StubHub does this, but it’s worth checking.

Looks great!

Yeah they look pretty long. I wonder if the drawer is that long as well.

Can you test after verifying your email? I suspect API used by mobile app only allows users with verified emails to prevent slow down bots.

Stumbled into this site while looking through other comments and apparently it was designed for the speech bubbles of a cartoon dog, not sure about the “legible at small sizes” claim - http://www.connare.com/whycomic.htm

Was thinking the same thing, is a lemmy instance supposed to be literally a single server instance?
