Is there any regime where this is more efficient than spokes? I'd imagine that at high speed there's an aerodynamic advantage (possibly similar to a track/TT disk wheel?), but I can't imagine the bearings being better than current bikes. But bearing loss might (???) just scale linear with speed, so probably a win from aero in the end. But this isn't counting weight, which I imagine is worse (but doesn't matter much at high speed on flat ground).

From skimming TFA, it's not that the numbers are fake per se, it's that they're wildly misinterpreted.

Job cuts coincided with minimum wage laws, however, they also coincided with seasonal reduction in workforce. So it's entirely expected that that would happen.

Adjusting for seasonal expectations


which you absolutely must do for a proper comparison


gives you the opposite conclusion, and emphatically does not point to the minimum wage having a negative causal link to fast-food employment numbers.

I audited a class on the topic. The professor said something like, "Some folks think evolution isn't a fact, it's just a theory


but they have it backwards! It is a fact...but it's a lousy theory."

You're not just being inconsiderate to your landlord, though

Perhaps the endorphin hit from sticking it to your landlord makes it all worthwhile.

I went with "cheap mikrotik router + cheap used enterprise APs (3x Aruba 325)," and I've been pretty happy.

What hardware you running for pfSense?

I've heard that RawTherapee is good, but not quite on the same level.

I'd definitely recommend getting a credit report (not from the websites that advertise with an insane jingle, but from the actual credit bureaus


you're entitled to a free report). Mine had debt from a relative with a similar name; I was able to get that removed. They will also tell you in more detail what goes in to calculating it.

I agree that it's not perfect, and often very opaque, but you should be able to get some understanding of why she doesn't have good credit.

...except that it used to be that your ability to secure a loan was based on where you went to school, how firm your handshake was, and if you happened to have the right skin color and sex organs.

The current system certainly isn't perfect; and if you're denied a loan you have a legal right (in the US) to know the reason.

There are systemic issues, to be sure. But the nominal goal is absolutely better than what we used to have.

I usually suppress output of either wget (-q) or of tar (no v flag), otherwise I think the output gets mangled and looks funny (you see both download progress and files being extracted).
