An enormous percentage, especially in the current housing market, however...

Many (most?) American cities have wildly inadequate public transit and are prone to sprawl. Many Americans live in apartments, but are a multiple mile walk from their grocery store. If there's any public transit at all it's probably an infrequent and unreliable bus line that may not go anywhere near their home to begin with. They live in apartments, but are not anywhere near 'downtown'.

These are problems that need to be solved, and quickly, but public transit is best grown with a city, which didn't happen. Inserting a subway after the fact is difficult, expensive, and slow.

The reality of right-now (which is all a renter is likely to be able to consider financially) is that a reliable car is an essential item in most parts of the country.

I'm cautiously optimistic, but prime is made by a completely different developer than dread so there's no guarantees, unfortunately

In fairness, Furiosa flopped pretty hard. It wasn't making much in theaters anyway.

I assume this chart is intended for people making an effort to eat as much protein as possible for as cheap as possible, I.e. bodybuilders, powerlifters, and the like. In that case you would want to avoid vegetables because of their low protein regardless of how much they actually cost, so the cost per gram of protein is actually more useful.

In fairness I may be reading too much into it; nothing about the chart actually specifies who it's for.

Oh yeah. Especially if you work as a flight attendant, so you'll have to play someone else to care for it when you're away.

Probably rationalized it as being cheaper than legal fees + additional damage to his reputation from a public trial.

Or it happened and he'd have lost.

Ask her what she thinks mansplaining is and listen intently to the answer.

They're referring to the other 3/4 of managers & hr who responded that they didn't want employees to leave because of return to office policies.

They, apparently, genuinely believed that rto would have some tangible benefits, or were just trying to make their employees lives harder for a laugh, and didn't expect it to affect headcount at all.

Jenny Nicholson is a longtime youtuber who got her start talking about movies and other pop culture stuff. Lately she's shifted towards (very) long-form videos about theme parks.

Here, she talks about the myriad failings of a very expensive, though lackluster star-wars themed hotel/roleplay experience that Disney was running until recently. It's more or less a play-by-play of everything from ordering the tickets through the entire trip, hence the length.

Long story short: it was a bad trip despite being very expensive.

Nothing, just that 'I use arch' is a meme so overused that its cliche. Arch and plasma are great, hence why I use them
