For a Mint replacement (which I’m still angry about), might I suggest Simplifi by Quicken? For me it’s mostly been a one-to-one replacement, after getting over a few… eccentricities. I could never get into YNAB because it’s so manual. I want something automatic, and Simplifi scratches that itch.

The catch: it’s not free.

My brother is an audiologist and hates doing a certain hearing test, because it’s boring. The way he describes it, he hands the patient a button and a pair of headphones, then goes into the next room.

He has a row of dials. He turns the first one until the patient pushes the button. He writes down how high the dial got, then turns it off and moves on to the next dial. Repeat for like 20 dials.

Then at the end, he has to draw a graph BY HAND, highlighting certain features.

There is precisely 0% chance that this requires a trained audiologist to do. Maybe to interpret, but not to collect data.

Why would a sponsor pay for an ad if they know nobody will watch? Its not magic money out of nowhere; the sponsor has to come out net positive or else they stop sponsoring.

Do you think that might have something to do with why he’s portrayed as a clown?

Or, historically, when you’re building a new factory, the first thing you do is build a rail connection right next to it

It’s owned and populated by history and science/engineering YouTubers, so if you’re not usually watching that side of YouTube, you might not find much on Nebula for you.

I respectfully submit that the US should send tutors to teach English to our wayward Anglophone brothers.

You know the federal reserve turned a profit from their intervention during the Great Recession era, right? Like, you don’t actually think it was just Obama throwing helicopter money, right?

Name an industry where a private corporation competes with a local government monopoly?

Very interesting! I’ve never heard of adding fluoride to table salt, but I can’t see why not!
