What does your definition of privilege mean? Bemoaning parents who supported their children in the combination of the parents interests does not seem like an egregious sin.
The person you're responding to didn't imply that privilege is a "sin". Not sure how you're interpreting that.
Sinply put, most working class parents simply don't have the financial respurces to support an older child's artistic pursuits. It is a privilege, i.e., an _advantage_, to have those means and werewithal to do so.
There are plenty of working class parents who support an older child who lives at home. The difference is the child is not pursuing anything, so most parents would not want that for their child and would want him to get a job or something.
My point being that it’s not about finances, it’s not that much more difficult for most working class families to support an extra mouth to feed, especially when it’s an adult. It’s more about the difference in perspective and future financial stability.
Exactly this!! US has a very lone-wolf culture. In India, it is perfectly normal for an adult to live with parents and I am assuming SK is similar. The money aspect is overblown a lot.
While typing it, I realized it is actually more expensive in US than just a mouth to feed. Medical insurance, car insurance, car payments (you need a car), all add up to much more.
The US Health Insurance system is specifically used to keep working class people (and most middle class) at work. You can't really go without a job here.
Well Medicaid is free and for a car, you can get and old one for $2000 and pay <$50 a month for car insurance. Food costs more than that monthly, so it’s not a huge burden even for working class people.
If you are staying with your parents, I do not think Medicaid covers you. I do not see where you get < $50 for car insurance when you are under 26. Assuming a family like June Huh, they are much more likely to live in urban areas which does not fit into your cost model.
If under 26, you can get your parents’ work insurance, usually not a big increase, otherwise, you can just get crappy insurance for cheap. If urban area, you don’t need a car.
Other people have echoed the same advice, I’ll add to it.
Take enough of a learn to sail class that you understand the basic theory —- I took one at my local yacht club.
Then, find a racing fleet! Racing boats need crew weight to help the boat sail towards the wind (so you can be useful while you are still learning), and not all the jobs require as much sailing knowledge as others (my first job was to pull the free end of the line while someone was winching in the sail).
Skippers value consistency —- the boat can’t race without a crew, so literally just reliably showing up is a valuable thing.
Counterintuitively, the bigger the boat the less the fitness requirement.
Small boats (dinghies) require crew weight in certain places (“hiking” as far out to windward as possible) and have less mechanical advantage in the boat systems.
Larger boats, the forces scale out of the human range quickly and the crew relies on winches and pulleys to move the sails.
I'm pointing out that's what the op is doing through their faith in the historical methods of the universities 'community stabilization' efforts. What the op is proposing is exactly what the university did after the Supreme Court shut down the discriminatory laws on residential neighborhoods.
This proposal doesn't either. Unless you are at a strait less than 200km wide. You could hop over the English channel, but if you want to go LA to London you have to take the long way around over the Bering strait.
The Apple Watch has best in class health sensors + fitness monitoring. Cycle tracking, blood O2 sensing, ecg function are all truly valuable.
I bought a watch for myself, my parents and my girlfriend. The prompting and social aspects of the “close your rings” exercise tracking have already led to a ~10 bpm decrease in my girlfriend’s resting heart rate, suggesting a marked improvement in her cardiovascular health.
Personally, I find the Apple Watch somewhat ugly, but the fitness features are worth the sartorial limitations!
That "best in class" is only true if you listen to Apple's marketing.
The sensors in Garmin, Suunto, Samsung, and many others are equally as good, plus Garmin and Suunto have significantly better battery life than Apple too.
> as well as chassis stamped by its die casting machines with a clamping force of 9,100 tons — beating that of Tesla's apparently.
This seems incoherent to me? Metal stamping is a process, and die casting is a separate process, from what I understand. Is there any reason to die cast a chassis? Does the press strength around the casting molds matter? I’d assume chassis parts would be built out of stamped and bent sheet metal?
Tesla has switched their newer lines to casting. It seems like it's mostly about manufacturing efficiency rather than strength -- they can cast the whole underbody of the vehicle as a single piece rather than having dozens of stamped pieces that need to be welded or riveted together. Initially they were doing the front half as one piece and the back half as another, but they've needed to get bigger and bigger (higher- and higher-force) machines as they've gone from two-piece to single-piece construction.
When die casting, you inject semi-molten metal into a cold mould.
The mould must be held closed while metal is being injected. The "9100 tons" refers to the force keeping the mould closed. That force is approximately proportional to the surface area of the object being cast.
phosphoric acid is particularly bad because it yanks all the free calcium in any solution it comes in contact with (e.g. saliva). Calcium phosphate is then insoluble in water, so it then larglely flows right through you.
Bank runs are always caused by memes -- the change is bank runs powered by image macros, but memetic spread of the idea "this bank may fail" is always what causes a run.
