Link for the lazy

You wanna look under Retirement Under FERS > Retirement with a deferred, full pension

Edit: god that document is a pain in the ass to read and comprehend. Looks like it was designed to answer specific questions (vs getting a holistic view of the retirement program)

I've never been aware of Thomas Jefferson being into women in that age range. Can you expand on that / pass resources for further research?

Asking primarily because I tend to favor Jefferson among the founding fathers. I'd be very disappointed if he was actually into.....that. But want to be sure I have an accurate picture of historical figures.

This is something that has always bothered me about roadkill animals (esp deer which are particularly prevalent as roadkill in my area).

Its my understanding that the hide can remain in good and usable condition for days to weeks after the animal's death. It seems that this could be a decent source of blankets and other light-medium cold weather gear.

I'd imagine it largely comes down to the skinning process. The internal organs of dead animals are supposed to get real gross real fast (and that's in the best case scenario - if anything ruptured when they were hit, then the grossness increasing exponentially) and removing those is the first step towards skinning. Additionally, everything in harvesting the hide would need to be done by hand.

But boy, if we could build one of those Boston dynamics bots to do it.....

Can't decide how I'd feel about this.

On one hand, they'd probably ruin the scenic ocean views from Mar-a-lago. On the other, the owners would probably make a tom (more) money off it.

I feel the same.

While not good feels when it rolled out, its not like that's come up since (at least not that I've heard).

There are other things to object about Proton (rolling out a bitcoin wallet and focusing on AI over getting their current products up to par with their competitors), but, like this feels like a giant nothing burger people overly focus on.

Link to the story (I only read ~25% of article since it matched with my recollection of events)

I leave it as an exercise for you to determine the level of hyperbole your respondee was using.

So not saying this is what the data is saying, but the article is worded in a way that this thought could be true:

What if the reason people aren't replacing the batteries in their cars because they're just selling/trading in their cars? The article doesn't directly say that the first gen cars' batteries are still usable (let's say 80% of "new" capacity), it just says people aren't getting them replaced, which isn't necessarily the same thing.

Does anyone else know any more about this? Its my understanding that an electric car's battery is expected to hit that 80% of new capacity somewhere around the 5 year mark (and as someone who rarely owns a vehicle less than 10 years, that's been a personal barrier to me jumping to EV)

Which OS / app is this for?

"Yeah Facebook, I'd like to report this post.

Reason: I'm in it and don't like it"

Normally I'd just up vote this and move on, but I REALLY love the presentation on this.

Kinda wish US data was presented this way (state by state for national data, county by county for state data).

I'm unclear why that's being fair to Pelosi? (Unless I'm just missing the sarcasm of your comment?)
