Are there places that make adults pay for a library card? I’ve never heard of this in the US at least.

This is super great to see. Normally my home state just follows whatever California passes since we're a much smaller market, but this time they're really moving things forward for consumer repairability.

Also, just really reinforces how much I hate Kathy Hochul for absolutely neutering NY's right to repair bill. Glad I don't have her as my governor anymore.

The bill they passed would keep us on standard time though, so you’re still stuck with 4:30pm sunsets in Dec/Jan. I’d rather stick with the current system until we can get permanent DST.

Not having access to natural light is what really drives me insane. During the winter, it's possible to spend all your daylight hours at work, so you basically alternate between harsh artificial light and darkness.

I get they were going for a carton shape, but that looks basically impossible to clean.

You live in the most expensive region of the country but you only pay $20k in rent? Is your idea of "most expensive" Akron or something?

I think this is more a commentary on the shit politicians that work here than the interiors being ugly.

Deception is just around the corner. Choose those around you wisely.

Stopping the aid might not stop him but heavy sanctions definitely would.

I always felt so bad for the sanitation workers who had to spend all day picking up heavy bags of trash and throwing them in the back of the truck.

Federal employees can’t strike, but other state and local public sector unions absolutely can.

Seems like he just wanted to seem tough for the election back in May. The whole defender of Islam thing probably garnered him a few extra votes among conservative and moderate voters.
