Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 3 spoilers - Inigo Jun 2, 07:00 12

- "You can't win" - Max Jun 2, 07:30
- Yeah it’s good on it’s own but it makes quite a bit not make sense at all about episode 4. -- nm - Volnelk Jun 2, 07:14 8
  - I mean it all really falls apart when you just think (spoilers) - Volnelk Jun 2, 07:22 7
    - Disagreed, on that. spoil - Spawn Jun 2, 07:33 6
      - So? Spoil. - Volnelk Jun 2, 07:38 1
        
        Don’t get me wrong, I like the show, but any opinion that says this all fits together and makes total sense is trying to make fetch happen. -- nm* - Volnelk Jun 2, 07:42

I found an old bill online from our fire department. -- (pic) - kelly Jun 2, 06:44 [Attachment] 20
- Wow. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 2, 08:44
- here, we can pay I think $75 per year to one of our fire stations and not be charged for ambulance service for that year. - amanda Jun 2, 07:53
- What in the Cinnamon Toast... -- nm - budice Jun 2, 07:21
- I can understand a fire department charging for non-emergency or nuisance calls but there should not be for regular emergencies. - Walt_Disney Jun 2, 07:12
- this is really interesting -- nm - prayformojo Jun 2, 06:48
- This is so unusual to me. This is all covered by our taxes, but obviously in smaller places etc it would differ. I actually called 911 on Sunday. - Andie Jun 2, 06:48 14
  - Here, as well. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 07:54
  - It’s the basic libertarian philosophy of low taxes = freedom but then if you want paved roads, a sewer pipe or - you know - health care, you gotta pay -- nm - Mop Jun 2, 07:25 1
    - What gets me about the story is that once they were there, they did nothing. In hospitals, doctors gotta treat you. Bill you later. -- nm - Mop Jun 2, 07:25
  - We had volunteer fire departments growing up - Reagen Jun 2, 07:13 2
    - We have volunteer fire departments here, but I believe they get funding from the county and/or borough to hire a certain number of professional firefighters. -- (edited) - znufrii Jun 2, 07:19 1
      - the equipment is mixed - some is bought by the volunteers/companies and some is provided by the townships -- nm - decline Jun 2, 07:30
  - Oh how scary! Glad she’s ok! Knoxville city has services covered with taxes, but county does not. (I think.) - kelly Jun 2, 07:02 3

      - Okay! I meant to ask you, did my package arrive? -- nm - kelly Jun 2, 08:13 1
        
        oh, yes - i posted about when it did, you must have just missed it. - Andie Jun 2, 08:20
  - Small point - i *do* think that there is a ambulance service co-pay. I think it's $45. Would need to double check that. -- nm - Andie Jun 2, 06:50 2
    - Yeah, ambulance cover is a private insurance option here. $1,000 if you’re over an income threshold and don’t have the right insurance. - mafic Jun 2, 06:59 1
      - yeah, i just checked my benefits, i can submit and get reimbursed if i needed one. -- nm - Andie Jun 2, 07:00
  - ! That must have been scary -- nm - prayformojo Jun 2, 06:49
I hope there are more shows in the works like Drive to Survive and Sunderland 'Til I Die. I think they're compelling TV and well done. - Krusty Jun 2, 06:39 2
- Apparently there is a drive to survive style show coming about the PGA. -- nm - Volnelk Jun 2, 07:00 1
  - I was wrong. There is a sport that I won't find interesting. ;-) -- nm - Krusty Jun 2, 07:07

- I saw the trailer for Crimes of the Future in front of Men this past week. It is not for me. -- nm - Swilcan Baron Jun 2, 06:23 1

Ontario Provincial election today...can't believe Doug Ford will win again. WTF Ontario? -- nm - Beaker Jun 2, 06:00 4
- As a former Ontario Liberal, I get the people voting for Ford...I dont agree but I get it.... - Walt_Disney Jun 2, 06:16 3
  - the other leaders are so unexciting. I mean, i am not voting for Ford, but i actually haven't even decided who i AM voting for yet, and i am voting in about 8 hours. -- nm* - Andie Jun 2, 06:41
  - There will never be a merger. The NDP and the Liberals have very different voters and people that run them. They both might be "progressive".... - Walt_Disney Jun 2, 06:30
  - I can see this and agree a merger of some sort is definitely a must -- nm - Beaker Jun 2, 06:24
"More than a third of Americans earning at least $250,000 annually say they are living paycheck to paycheck" -- (link) - ty97 Jun 2, 05:49 23
- Oh no! Anyway... -- nm - Qale As Folk Jun 2, 07:24
- Even people who complain that they can't stop seeing the wrong kinds of news stories get more sympathy. -- nm - con_carne Jun 2, 06:49
- I argue with the definition. Spending $15k/month isn’t living paycheck to paycheck, it’s just spending all your money. - mafic Jun 2, 06:31 2
  - And they’re probably not considering any retirement savings taken out of their paycheck in the equation either -- nm* - znufrii Jun 2, 06:45
  - Yup. -- nm - Krusty Jun 2, 06:34
- Wages go up, lifestyle expectations go up, and taxes go up disproportionally. My effective tax rate went from 7% to 30% in my 30's -- nm - rollo Jun 2, 06:26
- I'm sorry but I just don't care. This isn't a real problem. It's a problem of their own making that can be easily resolved. - Krusty Jun 2, 05:56 4
  - I'm still pretty shocked by that percentage -- nm - ty97 Jun 2, 06:04 3
    - I'm not as I think many people no matter their income are poor at managing their finances and overspend/live beyond their means. -- nm - Krusty Jun 2, 06:09 1
      - How are they going to afford their vacation home in the Hamptons? Have a heart! -- nm - ty97 Jun 2, 06:46
    - I think it's a clue as to why so many people are scared about the economy. - Inigo Jun 2, 06:08
- I wonder how many of those people live in high cost of living places like NYC, San Diego, etc? - Inigo Jun 2, 05:54 4
  - That makes a lot of sense, but still there’s choices and trade offs that can be made. -- nm* - znufrii Jun 2, 06:22
  - I certainly expect that an unrepresentatively high share of those earners live in high COL places. -- nm* - ty97 Jun 2, 05:55 2
    - COL is a huge factor here I'd imagine. $250k in DC/NYC/SF/Miami is much different than $250k in other cities. -- nm - MDH Jun 2, 06:35 1
      - But it's still way more than enough to live comfortably and have savings. You can live a very happy life here on $250k and have a big chunk of - Krusty Jun 2, 06:42
- house poor would be my guess -- nm - Beaker Jun 2, 05:54
- "Among all consumers surveyed, 61.3% reported living paycheck-to-paycheck in April, a 9 percentage-point increase from a year earlier" -- nm - ty97 Jun 2, 05:54
- Also, once again: Gen X erasure -- (pic) - ty97 Jun 2, 05:53 [Attachment] 2
  - it's real estate. how much is a boomer who refied in 2020 paying for a then-$300k house? and how much is that house now, and what's the payment? -- nm - amanda Jun 2, 08:02

Top Gun: Maverick earned an estimated $14.5 million yesterday. $500 million domestic is now a possibility. -- (link*) - Inigo Jun 2, 05:34 2

Oof—firefighters watch house burn down…3 dogs and cat dead…because the owner didn’t remember to pay his $75 county fee -- (link) - Flavorize Jun 2, 03:42 10
- (reminds me of the firefighting scene from Gangs of New York) -- nm - Beaker Jun 2, 05:49
- That reminds me of a pilot a guy I worked for once shot, with a voluntary police department. It was a dystopian future. - Marlowe Jun 2, 05:37
- Maybe some things shouldn’t be left up to personal choice, yeah? -- nm - znufrii Jun 2, 05:08
- “Forgot”. Right. - spamlet Jun 2, 04:19 3
  - Yeah, it’s the one precedent they can’t set. Put out one fire for someone who forgot, and everyone starts to forget, - mafic Jun 2, 05:26 2
    - Like Kelly said on B2. Here it’s, you don’t pay, they put out the fire and bill you for the full response. Like 2k minimum. - Will Hunting Jun 2, 05:44 1
      - yeah, this makes more sense. -- nm - Beaker Jun 2, 05:49
- This is basically the system that esxisted before they socialized it using taxes. -- nm - . Jun 2, 04:08
