Zillow will now show climate risks for property listings in the US
  • Redfin has been doing this for a while. It's like "Oh wow! That amazing property is wildly within my price range! ....oh... 100% chance of flooding in the next 30 years... but only 9% chance of wildfire! I like those odds!"

  • tHaT's SoCiaLiSm!!!
  • I was just pointing out that this is the reason tons of people in the US don't want universal health care. They don't want the government deciding what health care they receive, just like you don't want them deciding what your children eat. And they don't want their taxes paying for something that someone else receives.

    You're both being... short sighted, shall we say.

  • It's time to roll up sleeves for new COVID, flu shots
  • Mine have gotten better every time. The first one was fucking miserable. I felt like I had broken glass in my joints and I got absurdly large pimples/boils on my back and chest. I got a milder version of the same with the second and third ones. I think this was shot number 8 (?) and it was just a bit sore at the injection site. Use the muscle before it gets sore, just raise your arm above your head whenever you think about it and you don't get that lasting pain there.

  • Emotional Support Vehicles
  • It's $100 minimum to get anything delivered from the hardware store a mile from my house. It's $20 rent a pickup from U-haul for their 4 hour minimum. I do that maybe 4X per year. I drive a little electric car now, but when I had a Prius V (station wagon one) with the seats folded down I could fit as much in there as a light duty pickup.

  • What if spouses took their partners first name instead of last?
  • Two teachers at my high school got married and both of them changed their full names. They chose a last name to share- after a saint they both resonated with, and each chose new first and middle names. They felt it marked the new chapter in their lives, that as they became one, they were both new people. They were both the young, cute, cool teachers that everyone had crushes on so we all thought it was super creative and cool.

  • Vampire pumpkins and watermelons
  • Curious what exactly they get up to...

    These pumpkins and melons go round the houses, stables, and rooms at night, all by themselves, and do harm to people. But it is thought that they cannot do great damage to folk, so people are not very afraid of this kind of vampire.

  • What weird false belief did you have as a kid?
  • I didn't understand time zones, but heard about "losing" or "gaining" hours when flying, so I thought that time moved differently while you flew, depending on if you were flying with or against the spin of the Earth.

    Apple Rankings by a guy who has big feelings about apple varieties.

    >🏅 #1 RANKED YELLOW APPLE > >The Opal apple looks like it shit itself. I apologize for being uncouth but there is no more apt observation. Just look at the top of it. The Opal apple looks like a jaundiced, freckled, unwiped anus. In fact, this may be the ugliest apple of the modern era. That being said, if you’re going to be an ass, you might as well be a good ass. And like a good ass, the Opal apple is exceptionally sweet and juicy. In fact, the complex flavor profile featuring hints of banana, coconut, and pear make this Czech-born, oddly-named monstrosity a delight to consume. And while the outside may be stained with a toddler’s accident, in an ironic twist, the interior of the apple does not brown for quite some time. So I say, if you’re looking to spice up your life with something a little different, close your eyes and eat ass. Who am I to judge? > >BONUS POINTS: +2 Taste

    No spoilers please, but does Old Man’s War get better?

    I’ve been really enjoying John Scalzi’s catalog- Started with Starter Villain (delightful!), The Kaiju Preservation Society (Sweet..), Lock In + Head On (fun who-done-its), The Android’s Dream (clever, enjoyable read), Agent to the Stars (funny, creative, pretty good).

    I’m half way through the first book of Old Man’s War and it’s depressing AF. I don’t see how it’s going to get any more light hearted, given the subject matter. All the aliens are enemies, more battle scenes than anything else, graphic descriptions of war injuries and deaths.. I’m not really compelled to keep going. Can anyone vouch for it being worth it to continue?

    Edit: I'm realizing that "better" isn't a good descriptor. I guess what I mean is "Will there be fewer graphic descriptions of injuries and death; as well as general despair on the part of the MC." It is a "good" book by all metrics except "feel-goodiness" and "Not making me queasy at descriptions of faces being blown apart." I'd come to expect a light and clever romp from John Scalzi, and from everyone's replies, he is more varied in his styles than I'd previously been aware.

    I'd been half hoping this would all resolve into a lovely, heartwarming story about how the universe was saved by a race of benevolent, highly intelligent cats who tricked everyone into getting along. I tried to go further this morning and am, for now going to set it aside after another scene with an exploding face.

    Thanks to all who replied!

    A river otter took a selfie in Ridley Creek, ending a 100-year absence for ‘the most elusive aquatic animal in Pa.’
    www.inquirer.com A river otter took a selfie in Ridley Creek, ending a 100-year absence for ‘the most elusive aquatic animal in Pa.’

    The sighting shows that the revival of the animal, which was once nearly extirpated from Pennsylvania, continues throughout the region.
