How the hell does this help kids?
What young kid's parents make the kid pay for their own meals at school?
@Arch Is your oven properly pre-heating? If so, and if you can verify that the temperature the oven is hitting is at least close then maybe try going hotter?

this is probably the problem but i always forget to snag thermometers from the lab before I leave to check
Oh well maybe 20 more minutes and i get delicious potatoes
Should be easy- wash, prick with fork, add some oil, bit of salt, bake for an hour at 350
But then they are still rock hard and I am like whut did I do i just wanted some potatoes why are you taking so long
Huh.
I just prick the potato with a knife a few times and chuck in the oven as is at about 180ºC for between an hour and an hour and a half depending on how big it is. Sometimes the skin gets all nice and crispy but the inside isn't soft enough and if that happens I just wrap it in foil and give it a bit longer.

listen, my kids won't need any handouts
allowances are for liberals
I'm going to teach my kids to program. By the time they're 10 or so, I'm just going to "work from home" every day and have them do my job for me. I'll give 'em a nice $20/week or so allowance for it.

This month, you spent $170.48 on Gas & Fuel. This exceeds your budget of $10 by $160.
This...this doesn't seem like a realistic budget. I guess I'm buying a skateboard!
At 5/gallon and 25 mpg 160 should get you something like 800 miles I think (($160/ $5/gal)*25 miles/gal=800 miles). That seems a little ... high.
25 mpg? HAHAHAHA no I don't think so I drive a truck. More like 18mpg highway if I do it right.
Also I took a trip to San Diego this month which is 1000 miles roundtrip.
Gas is closer to $4/gal last I checked though, so in theory it balances out. Once you hit the 4 digit range on distance being around 150 starts to sound reasonable though.

Do you know if your oven is actually functioning? Temperature selection dials are the biggest lie. You need an oven thermometer.

I never got an allowance as a kid. I'd ask for money but unless it was for a mandatory school function or something, the answer was always no. Any money I got for a holiday went right in "the bank" but I never saw any of it. I suspect my bank account growing up was my parent's monthly financial padding because when I was old enough to understand how it actually worked, I noticed that my passbook had lots of mysterious withdrawals.

Facebook's interface has been shit for a while. There have been countless reskins to crib from but the official theme continues ignore them. I can only assume making all the buttons small and identical and constantly moving menus around generates more revenue somehow.

My Facebook live feed has too much on it to be useful; I guess other people might like it, but at 20 updates a minute I'm not gonna bother to look at it.
I guess it's useful if you're just Facebooking all the time, and need to updated on what's happening with your Facebook friends while you're focusing on page and... I don't know. Doing something.
But otherwise, it seems like tech-demo and a waste of space.

Maybe Facebook's real secret to success is time travel technology. It's the only thing to explain why it still uses a 3 column layout that fell out of favor for more usable designs years before the website even launched.

which isn’t to say I like everything Facebook does; I think they make some dumb decisions just like anybody
but it’s not just people fiddling around for the heck of it
Of course it's deliberate. The question is what advantage is there in a deliberately bad interface. It must encourage usage patterns they like, such as users accidentally clicking on ads or constant exploration to find old features resulting in the discovery of new features.

This is the worst UI going on a website right now:

google+ uses 3 columns as well
Only on the home page. All the other pages feature 2 column or freeform interfaces.
Edit: Not that I've actually analyzed the usability of both, nor will I defend one over the other

As someone who has put literally no thought into this: what's wrong with a 3 column setup? and how is 2 columns superior/what's the best layout approach?

reskins might look better, but there’s a reason choices were made
you don’t have the same goals the platform’s creators do, and you don’t have to deal with the issues they would
but it’s not just people fiddling around for the heck of it
