  • People don’t understand this about inflation and it will disappoint them very soon once inflation is fully back to rates we saw pre-pandemic.

    Grocery prices aren’t coming down. Housing prices aren’t going down. Utility costs aren’t going down. The best we can hope for is for them to not increase as fast as they have the last four years and for the usual fluctuations in things like gas or electricity costs to fluctuate down more than up.


  • Did people call RCS open source? I’m not a huge follower of the standard, but I don’t think I ever heard that said. In fact, I’ve heard people complain about not just the proprietary encryption but lack of E2E and carrier/Google control.

    Its only advantages are that it is better than SMS and supported by the carriers, Google and Apple sometime this year.

    It’s a shitty standard but given how shitty SMS is, I’m willing to hold my nose and jump in.



  • Sound wisdom for both the husband and wife. Obviously the grandmother has her own experiences that make that good advice for a woman, but I think it’s good for everyone.

    Have a joint account where you pay for shared expenses, and then your own separate account for yourself. For probably the majority of relationships now, both parties are (or at least should) be working anyway.
