which one do you prefer? having kids or no kids? and why??
  • There would have to be some dramatic changes in the world socially and politically before I'll feel even remotely comfortable having kids. Also my finances would need to change.

    And my family also has some genetic issues I'd rather not pass on.

    Adoption is an option, but I'm pretty sure I don't even want one in the first place. When I was younger I thought having kids seemed like a sucker's game. My opinion has softened on that a bit, but it's still difficult to imagine actually wanting children.

  • Why Americans aren’t buying more EVs
  • An enormous percentage, especially in the current housing market, however...

    Many (most?) American cities have wildly inadequate public transit and are prone to sprawl. Many Americans live in apartments, but are a multiple mile walk from their grocery store. If there's any public transit at all it's probably an infrequent and unreliable bus line that may not go anywhere near their home to begin with. They live in apartments, but are not anywhere near 'downtown'.

    These are problems that need to be solved, and quickly, but public transit is best grown with a city, which didn't happen. Inserting a subway after the fact is difficult, expensive, and slow.

    The reality of right-now (which is all a renter is likely to be able to consider financially) is that a reliable car is an essential item in most parts of the country.

  • Cost by Protein Source
  • I assume this chart is intended for people making an effort to eat as much protein as possible for as cheap as possible, I.e. bodybuilders, powerlifters, and the like. In that case you would want to avoid vegetables because of their low protein regardless of how much they actually cost, so the cost per gram of protein is actually more useful.

    In fairness I may be reading too much into it; nothing about the chart actually specifies who it's for.

  • What would happen to your body if you only ate 750g of 2% cottage cheese every day for a month?
  • You'll probably get really sick of cottage cheese, for one. You'll also lose a lot of weight. In fact you'd be malnourished. Its only about 700-800 calories a day, which is far too few for almost anyone. The weight you lose won't just be body fat, you're body will start converting muscle tissue for energy. Thankfully this will be slightly mitigated by you're now quite high protein intake: 102g per day! Too bad you won't have energy to go to the gym on account of starving.

    Also I bet you'll get diarrhea.

    Don't do it, at least not for a full month. If you're gonna try it anyway then take multivitamins and drink a ton of water.

  • Study finds 1/4 of bosses hoped Return to Office would make staff quit
  • They're referring to the other 3/4 of managers & hr who responded that they didn't want employees to leave because of return to office policies.

    They, apparently, genuinely believed that rto would have some tangible benefits, or were just trying to make their employees lives harder for a laugh, and didn't expect it to affect headcount at all.

  • A Four-Hour-Long Hotel Review That Is Actually About So Much More
  • Jenny Nicholson is a longtime youtuber who got her start talking about movies and other pop culture stuff. Lately she's shifted towards (very) long-form videos about theme parks.

    Here, she talks about the myriad failings of a very expensive, though lackluster star-wars themed hotel/roleplay experience that Disney was running until recently. It's more or less a play-by-play of everything from ordering the tickets through the entire trip, hence the length.

    Long story short: it was a bad trip despite being very expensive.
