Re:Goodreads was the future of book reviews. Then Amazon bought it
on Monday July 03, 2023 @01:00PM (#36575763)
I disagree that stars should be evenly distributed between 1 to 5 stars. I think it's quite possible that most books that people choose to read end up being a 3 (good with some flaws) or 4 (good but not all-time great). It's kind of like the same thing with pizza. I'd give most pizza a 3 or 4. Very few 1s and 5s to be sure. 1 doesn't have to mean bottom 20% of pizzas. It can mean "awful, couldn't finish," where very few pizzas would fall into that category. 5 doesn't need to mean "best 20% of pizzas," it can mean "telling strangers about it the next day," again where very few pizzas would fall into that category.

I don't doubt that some "real people who do real work" will be turned off by the appearance of the Cybertruck. However I am confident it will have the best specs for the price of any EV truck and so some "real people who do real work" will buy the Cybertruck as the best choice.

reserves are for more than a rainy day fund. They're also for saving up for predicted maintenance needs. For instance, say the HOA is responsible for the roofs of all the residences (like if the residences are condos). It's a somewhat predictable and high expense that you can map out to 10 years down the line or something. Then you save up for it in your reserves.

Yes, I have set this up to give my wife access after 14 days: https://www.lastpass.com/features/emergency-access
The long delay is simply for security purposes so there's not instant access for someone who hacks _her_ accounts.

It's unfortunate that he mis-used the term "cohousing," which is a distinct type of neighborhood/community that can be very beneficial for raising a family. It's a neighborhood in which your neighbors are often a kind of extended family. It would have deserved its own examination in the article. Cohousing is not living with more people in one house as the author characterized it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cohousing
