“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work.”

This is one of the reasons Northern European countries usually rate so highly in quality of life. Commutes are generally via transit, cycling, or walking.

Or in my case, all three. 🤣

I didn’t get that interpretation from his post. But if that’s what he meant, then it’s an even worse look – a large part of the job, perhaps the most significant, is knowing the constraints of your engine, and working within them, or accounting for the engineering work required to alter it.

Ended up being an issue with the tutorial hanging on load and keeping the character locked. Reset the character, and logged in fine. Minus a tutorial. 🤣

A congressional leader who can’t maintain his own caucus is no leader. Step aside, Chuck. It’s time to let someone with integrity and a spine step up.
