Not parent, but when a minute isn't quite enough, 77 seconds might do the trick. Multiples of eleven are quick to enter, and with a simple nuker with no "minute" button, 66s is easier than 1:00.

On the one hand, that sucks, on the other...well, what really sucks is that it's probably necessary given the state of public transit and bikeability. (Haven't been to Nashville, so I can't comment on public transportation there.)

Any city in the US

I don't think that's correct, for example, San Francisco:

On December 11, 2018, the Board of Supervisors passed an ordinance (the “Ordinance”) eliminating required parking minimums citywide for all uses.

This does exist in major US cities, especially the older (by US standards) ones. I'm in San Francisco, in a "good" neighborhood, and restaurants, groceries, bars, and multiple forms of public transit are all a short walk away. This is very different in car centric suburbs/cities though.

Have you encountered modern shifters? They're fairly involved.

Electronic shifting, hydraulic brakes, liberal use of sealed cartridge bearings, carbon fiber parts requiring strict torque specs...these are definitely different than 70's friction shift ten-speed bikes.

Or, they're about to collect their paycheck from the photoshoot they just participated in.

That's basically the best possible outcome.

Toddlers are the reason why, despite being able to afford nice furniture for the first time in our life, we're sticking with ratty couches and old Ikea coffee tables.

I think a lot of companies view their free plan as recruiting/advertising


if you use TailScale personally and have a great experience then you'll bring in business by advocating for it at work.

Of course it could go either way, and I don't rely on TailScale (it's my "backup" VPN to my home network)... we'll see, I guess.

...are Turing Complete, so what you can do with them is exactly equal.

But they're only equal in the Turing complete sense, which (iirc) says nothing about performance or timing.

States != cities, e.g., https://underscoresf.com/heres-what-you-make-as-a-low-income-earner-in-san-francisco/

If you own own a modest place (<2000 square feet) in a decent (not "old money") neighborhood in San Francisco and have kids, I would be shocked if your household income isn't $350k+/year. If that's considered "upper class" then it's a very sad statement about how standards of living have degraded


this is likely comfortable living but it is not exotic car + first class airfare money. And it's almost certainly "less house" than you'd like.

And unless you inherited a lot, you definitely need to keep working to afford that modest lifestyle.

That claims ~$420k compensation with ~$25k "other." If he is playing any substantial role in bringing in $100M+ funds for a good cause, I'd say this person's compensation isn't something I'm going to get worked up about. For VHCOL areas this is middle class household income (looks like they're based in NY NY, so...VHCOL).
