    Jane Lane was the best Daria Character.

    I do like that Quinn showed growth though.

    Q: I stay in a big city and earn twice the income as someone in a rural area. However, everything I buy also costs twice as much as my rural counterpart's. In economic terms, am I earning the same real income as my rural counterpart?

    A: NO. NO NO NO NO. Good lord how many times has this issue come up in D&D. You are earning twice as much and you are consuming twice as much as your rural fellow. It is because you are living in a place where it is more difficult, in real terms, to get stuff to you - labor costs, rent, etc. Is this so hard to grasp?

    We are both consuming one potato a day.

    Jane was great

    Jake was great

    and you stay on the coast and eat fresh fish delivered straight from the dock every day

    and I stay in the middle of a desert and eat fresh fish flown in every day

    one of us is, in fact, consuming more than the other

    You might be able to call the network operator's tech support and get them to connect to it. They can tell you if it's on and has a network connection. If it does have one, then you can just call it over and over.

    Also, it's probably in the couch.

    What you think "makes sense" has nothing to do with reality. It just has to do with your life experience. And your life experience may only be a small smidgen of reality. Possibly even a distorted account of reality at that. So what this means is that, beginning in the 20th century as our means of decoding nature became more and more powerful, we started realizing our common sense is no longer a tool to pass judgment on whether or not a scientific theory is correct. - Neil Degrasse Tyson

    Hm. Looks like living in NYC is only about +50% living in Seattle. The way people were going off about how expensive it is I'd expect it to be at least +100%.

    Saw Everclear last night for the second time and they were good.

    Saw Lit tonight for the first time and they rocked the house.

    Seeing Red Jumpsuit Apparatus for the first time tomorrow night.

    On top of which? It's the end of October and there's no snow on the ground here in North Dakota.

    Life is pretty good right now.

    that's because they were comparing it to the hideous wasteland which lies south of the mason-dixon.

    The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) considers households that pay more than 30 percent of their monthly income on housing to be “cost-burdened” and those paying more than
    50 percent of their income to be “severely cost-burdened.” But a recent study showed that nearly 28 percent of New Yorkers—529,171 renters—are paying 50 percent or more of their income toward rent, a 15 percent increase since 1999.70 Perhaps even worse, our analysis of Census data from 2006 found that a whopping 40 percent of renters in the city spent 35 percent or more of their income on rent.

    neat

    the downside of a historical reliance on rent control to control housing costs (because other state measures to improve the supply of housing aggravate too many vested interests)

    This makes me chuckle.

    Because comparing Seattle to NYC living expenses is like comparing apples to apples of a slightly different color.

    Then again I guess I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum. Cost of living here is so ridiculously cheap. Seriously I can get a two bedroom apartment, and a good one, for less then $500 a month.

    'tis more sensible to complain about cost-of-living when denominated in different currencies and across substantial barriers to arbitrage, really
