Those figures won't be that far apart. It will somewhat, because higher incomes will have a bigger house and more luxurious car. However, they're putting more of their money into investments, not cost of living.
And I'll reiterate, that's the average for one person, not a family.
As of 4th quarter 2024, average cost of living for a single person in the US is $4,948/month. Take that $8,333/month, chop off 20% for taxes, and you're already getting uncomfortably close to that number. For a family of four, I really don't see how those numbers work at all.
It just needs to be clear and set close to the max fill line. If it's low and/or dark, it wasn't done right.
Alternatively, if you're in a place dedicated to oil changes, you can assume it wasn't done right.
Despite the administration’s crackdown and Johnson's suspicions, it’s not known whether the leak came from a member of Congress.
Given the clowns in charge, it's more likely the leak came from inside the White House.
Nah, setting non-standard ports is sound advice in security circles.
People misunderstand the "no security through obscurity" phrase. If you build security as a chain, where the chain is only as good as the weakest link, then it's bad. But if you build security in layers, like a castle, then it can only help. It's OK for a layer to be weak when there are other layers behind it.
Even better, non-standard ports will make 99% of threats go away. They automate scans that are just looking for anything they can break. If they don't see the open ports, they move on. Won't stop a determined attacker, of course, but that's what other layers are for.
As long as there's real security otherwise (TLS, good passwords, etc), it's fine.
If anyone says "that's a false sense of security", ignore them. They've replaced thinking with a cliche.
All by themselves, weather forecasting satellites justify every dollar put into space programs. The lives saved are incalculable. We are squandering that benefit for no reason whatsoever.
It's not the conclusions that are important. It's how snazzy the PowerPoint presentation is. If you pay them more, there will even be bar charts.
One of my favorite exchanges from the 2008 election:
Colbert: tell me about growing up with a silver spoon in your mouth on the south side of Chicago
Michelle Obama: we didn't have silver spoons. We had four spoons.
Colbert: but there were spoons, right?
The future conservatives want is the same except it's men in fashy uniforms. We don't even have to speculate or joke; it's exactly how mines are run in countries without worker protections.
Conservatives don't make that distinction. Though OP does lean into Poe's Law.
Origami can be used as a basis for geometry:

IIRC, you can do things that are impossible in standard Euclidean construction, such as squaring the circle. It also has more axioms than Euclidean construction, so maybe it's not a completely fair comparison.
Why I change my own oil. Not because I save money--generally don't even before your time is factored in--but because I know how to put on an oil pan bolt without cross threading it.
