Sure the front is nice enough.
Shame the back looks like a lifer's prison.

Considering that the majority of people in the USA are either ambivalent or hate their jobs, the current system sucks.

So the end result of genetic selection for only academic success is a few happy folks and a lot of people forced into jobs they don't care to work. Sounds like capitalism, but with more medical procedures.

Great, now we'll have millions of college grads and not enough jobs for them. While the 5 plumbers in the USA will charge $600 an hour.

compress it and use it as a substitute for concrete. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone, as concrete is one of the top producers of greenhouse gas.
Another good use would be to extract precious metals that concentrate in the slurry. The Japanese did it during WWII.

Well, if we taxed the very rich at the same level as we taxed the guy who works at McD's, we'd have UBS in pretty short order.

I suspect I wouldn't hear anything at all, as my eardrums would get blown out pretty quickly by the changes in air pressure.

Amen on the detergent. When I go to the large laundromat down the road, I usually wash the first loads without any detergent at all. Reason - most people seem to pour detergent like it's the Salvation of the Clothes (it's not). The end result is they usually leave enough detergent residue behind in the washer drum that adding more detergent will just transfer the extra detergent onto my clothes even after rinsing - why waste my money and end up with itchy clothes?
My trick when I have to use the dryer is to run it only to steam the wrinkles out of my clothes. I then put them on hangers and stick them in the closet, well-spaced, with a fan in front to finish the dry.

I've been buying bespoke for years now. No clothes that fall apart in a week, no fruitless searches for clothes that fit my style, no endless fittings. If I see something online that I want in a different color, with different touches, or in my size, I can just send a screen shot and they'll make a pattern and sew it.
Example - I wear a suit 7 days a week for work. My employer will even provide them - but they have all the class and style of prison uniforms. So I started thinking and researching. I realized that suits have been around for about 200 years, that they were at one time comfortable enough for officers to wear them to war, that butlers (think dalton abbey) were comfortable enough to do hard labor in them, and they've been around since before zippers. So I ordered suits with reinforced pockets on the jacket, deep pockets in the pants with canvas linings, extra trousers with each suit (cause the pants always wear out first anyway), and button fly on the trousers.
My three piece suits (actually 4 piece with the extra trousers), are less than mens warehouse prices, and have lasted me for almost 15 years. I also have jeans, oxford and casual shirts and overcoats that are made the same way.
I use makeyourownjeans.com, but there are a number of shops that are based in India, Hong Kong, and Singapore that are online and do this for similar prices.

I'd much prefer to have housing, work and essential services close enough together that flying cars weren't even needed. Why fly when you can walk down the street?

A presto- style cooker would have a seal, but the ones I own specifically requires no seal. Have worked just fine for decades.

Those are the instructions in my recipes. Besides, they all have a safety valve. Sure, you'll spray whatever you're cooking on the ceiling, but I've never had it happen to me.

I've only used it at 30 pounds pressure - more than enough to can what I want.

no seals for this one. The gauge goes wonky and has to be recalibrated every few years, but I bought pressure weights instead- so no calibration needed.

Normally I'd agree with you, but National Pressure Cookers are the best! Old ones still go for a pretty penny on Ebay. I own two.
The pro on this cooker is there is no seal - the design of the lid locks tight to the pot all on it's own. The con is that the pressure gauge wears out and has to be recalibrated - as do all cookers. The trick is to use a pressure weight, which you can also buy on Ebay - those will last till the earth falls into the sun.

If you can find someone with a local library card, stop by any library in the BPL or Minuteman system (Somerville is Minuteman). Go to the reference or children's section (depends on the library) to get super discount coupons for museums all over the area. The coupons can also be use for non-residents/library card holders.
BTW, this also goes for locals - the savings are truly spectacular. I had four family members vacy in Boston; our trip to the Museum of Art would have run $100, but the coupons knocked it down to $20 total.
