Every kid in the US learns of the Great Chicago Fire (2,112 acres) in school and how modern building codes & fire depts have made this impossible, yet both the 2023 Lahaina & the current Palisades Fire crossed 17,000 acres - 8x the size! I marked up a map of Chicago to compare.

Wait, so instead of just making it in China they brought Chinese workers to Italy… presumably so they could claim "made in Italy"?!? Isn't the whole point of "made in Italy" is that it is by some 12th generation handbag maker or some such nonsense?

The most insane part is when you talk to their excavation, plumbing/pvc, rebar, concrete, aggregate, decking, & tile subs, you realize they all total up to about 20% of the bid. Equipment+installation and finishing is another 10%. WC+insurance another 7-10%. ~60% is profit.

Except Teams is better than Slack in every single subjective and objective metric, with the one exception of emojis.

Ever notice that every right wing media site is free and every site fighting to stop the right's shenanigans is pay-walled? Can you make these free for a while? Democracy thanks you.

You're ridiculous, domestic "first" is like $350 instead of $175. What a stupid hill to die on.

Imagine hiring an interior designer to redecorate your living room. After they finish and you pay them, they claim you stole your house from them.
