  • Medicaid, which provides healthcare to low-income and disabled Americans

    […]

    At one point, House speaker Mike Johnson circulated research from the conservative American Enterprise Institute finding that, after sleeping, playing video games was how Medicaid recipients who do not work spend most of their time.

    Yes, because heaven forbid the poor and disabled enjoy life a little.

    I’ve said this to my very conservative family when they talk about cheaters and welfare queens - I’d gladly give 10 people assistance even if some of them don’t “need” it. If it helps even a majority of the group, it’s worth it.

    Edit: And here’s a thought. What would be an acceptable third thing they most spend their time doing?









  • Get better coffee. Not grocery store brand or Starbucks. Check the roast date - keep it within the past two weeks. Grind your own, don’t buy pre-ground.

    Try to go with things like light roast, washed processed - more “speciality”.

    I highly recommend cxffeeblack - I use their Guji Mane for espresso and it’s amazing.






  • A very common mistake is to commute what you’d drive.

    This right here.

    When I was living in western NY and bike commuting, I took the Towpath along the Erie Canal instead of following the roads to work. It ended up being about the same distance, but was significantly less stressful to not worry about getting clobbered by a driver not paying attention.
