How does that compare to microk8s? I have been using that for a while and like the plugins.

Even better, use the free fillable forms. You can fill them out and submit them all within your browser, no mail or paper required. Even has a do the math button that will add stuff up for you.

Have been using it for the past two tax cycles and once you understand it it's quite easy, only 2 pages needed if you're doing the standard deduction with a w2.

This isn't insurance companies, the LA fires alone cost $250 billion, ~the gdp of new Zealand. Even if we abolished insurance companies someone's gotta pay for that. In that vein a lot of insurance companies are abolishing themselves, either going under or just leaving the state because Californiais a net loss to most companies, not a profit. So more people go on state insurance which is very expensive, not because the state is "r*ping you" but because it's a pool of houses highly likely to be burned down or flooded in the next decade and you have to have high premiums to cover that.

The problem is climate change and the increasing disasters it's causing. The article even says that premiums are still too low to account for this.

First Street found that today, insurance underprices climate risk for 39 million properties across the continental United States — meaning that for 27% of properties in the country, premiums are too low to cover their climate exposure.

Propublica link to the same article

No offense to op but I think they deserve the clicks more than NYT

I found this book fascinating for reasons completely unrelated to this post:

How to blow up a pipeline

Canola oil does have omega 3 but it has far more omega 6. Omega 6 has inflammatory properties while omega 3 has anti inflammatory properties. So it's important to keep them in balance to avoid chronic inflammation.

Canola(rapeseed) oil has an omega 6 to omega 3 ratio of about 2/1 which isn't as bad as some of the other more problematic "seed oils" like corn and soybean oils which have a 50/1 or 5/1 respectively. So maybe just using canola oil is fine, maybe you'll need more omega 3 to keep a balance, not quite sure as this seems to be a newer area of study surrounded by some diet culture moral panic.

For me I like to err on the side of adding more diverse foods to my diet as I think that's a good rule of thumb, so i'm trying to add more omega 3.

Any recommendations for a good source of omega 3 fatty acids for a plant based diet?

I think you'd probably need more than in an animal based diet since plant based fats and oils have way more omega 6 then animal based fats which can fuck up the balance.

It's got a bit to go. Checked yesterday , granted at whole foods, and their fake ground beef was $0.56 and ounce while there regular ground beef was $0.38 per ounce . Both were the same 365 in store brand.

The cheapest fake ground beef cost about the same as the premium bison ground beef.

They may not be more effective, how many consultants, contractors etc. are on the payroll since then?

A lot of time with these budget cuts some politician will come in and fire a bunch of people or a department, realize they actually do need that work done and then hire a contractor or a consultancy company to do the same work often for more . So the amount of people directly working for the federal government may be down but the amount of people who are working for the government through some middle man goes up to compensate.
