LA county is more populated than most entire states. It’s a numbers game. My husband hired a Home Depot laborer to tile the entire house (before we met) for like 1K. That kind of labor on the books would cost probably 5x that because of overhead.

Both and more. There are very few places you can walk into and get a job these days. Many Mexican immigrants come to America and try to work trades jobs to get by because it’s easier than a traditional 9-5 job with citizenship/visa requirements.

That’s what I said though

You could say that about anywhere on the southern North American continent

I’m in Tucson (1.5 hours south of Phoenix) where yesterday my car said it was 33° (unseasonably warm for this time of year). We're at 32°N latitude, same as Tel Aviv, but the hottest city at this latitude on the planet (other cities at this latitude are cooler overall because of oceanic/continental climatic influences). We usually get 3 weeks of “possible” <10° midday temps from Christmas to mid January, and every year at that time I’m swearing that I need to move to the Caribbean lmao. I’m also not “white”, so that might affect my sun and temperature perception 😆

Sunbelt here:

I legitimately loathe any temperature <23°. At 20° I’m too uncomfortable to be outside without layers. I’d prefer to do nearly everything outside if feasible, and really enjoy nature. I also hate rain during the colder months.

I’m legitimately glad that people have options, but I think the population growth of the southwest shows where people are partial to the weather 😝

A senate supermajority is impossible on both sides. There are too many blue seats, but not enough for a supermajority to ever happen.

It’s worse than that. The fastest track to veterinarian is 7 years (typical 4 year degree + 3 year accelerated veterinary degree at the university of Arizona). In Europe, my research yielded 5 years total.

Boys are being fed that college degrees are useless, and women are starting to attend college at slightly higher rates. From a realistic perspective, the costs are just crazy.

If I were a kid today, I’d totally go to vet school in Europe.

I second this^

Same as any purely pleasurable outlet: great in moderation, terrible when one can’t self regulate. I find it easy to avoid rape-y, tween, unrealistic porn in which I don’t find any sexual gratification. There’s plenty of small creators out there that produce wholesome sexual content.

I’d use Gnome if it had tray application icon support. I just cannot do without my tray icons for Dropbox.
