The American Dream is Becoming Less Probable
The American Dream has been unattainable by a lot of people for a long time. Not new news. The numbers just keep getting worse. Adult Population Rate (Homeowners-to-Population Ratio / HPOP): 53.2% of individual U.S. adults actually own and live in their own home. The difference comes from...- Hawk256

Small Alcohol Consumption May Cause Dementia Too
Why would MSG matter? The "research" blaming MSG for anything was debunked years ago.- Hawk256

I said I would never buy an EV but...
Vinfast hasn't made it that far. Not sure about all the Chinese EV's either.- Hawk256

One thing I forgot to mention is that having an EV is a lot like having a PC with wheels. Some sofware updates require you to visit the dealer and wait a couple of hours for the upgrade to take place. Not fun but I guess better than changing out hardware for each upgrade.- Hawk256

Time limit on Edit function
I practically never edit a post unless it just for a spelling or grammar error. I stand by what I said the first time so no need to change it. Back in the COVID days sites were changing published stories or deleting them altogether in some cases. Rubbed me the wrong way to see it happening. I...- Hawk256

New Kitap ??
That it what I did. Although I never plan on actually presenting it to anyone. All I ever use is my Pink KTP and everyone seems happy with it. If Immigration is asking, then they will have either have to accept the laminated card, a picture of my passport or wait for me to physically get the...- Hawk256

Students Are Learning Less Globally
Depends on the specific test and when you took it. Some test's would get you there in the 140's. 170+ is an incredible achievement. The top one percent of the top one percent. I got in during the 6th grade by literally one point. That is also about the last time I thought about it.- Hawk256

I said I would never buy an EV but...
So far it's been about a year and have needed a suspension part replaced and the home charger replaced both under warranty. One troubling issue that came up recently is a new Vinfast owned charging station they put in at the Lotte Grosir. It's been out of service for sometime and the security...- Hawk256

Students Are Learning Less Globally
I found out the other day that since the overall global IQ is dropping and Mensa bases admission on being in the top 2 percent, people will now be accepted that would have not been accepted in the recent past. A very minor thing is the grand scheme of things but how long will this trend continue...- Hawk256

You May Still Get a PC With Old Price
Stack Social is legit and has great deals on software from time to time. Bought my lifetime subscription for VPN through their site many years ago. Also bought a lifetime unlimited mobile backup solution through them as well.- Hawk256

Inverter AC and cleaning schedule
If they charge the same as here (~150,000 per) it's not like they get rich by telling you they need cleaning. After over a year and a half, I imagine they need some attention.- Hawk256

Inverter AC and cleaning schedule
In my experience, (which means nothing to a certain member) I had a standard unit for 10 years. The outside coil was cleaned every 6 months along with the inside coil. Never had a cooling problem related to a dirty coil. Put in a new inverter system and within 4 months it isn't cooling properly...- Hawk256

Inverter AC and cleaning schedule
Of course you disagree. Daikin service must not know what they are talking about.- Hawk256

Inverter AC and cleaning schedule
Seeing as how the outdoor fan runs constantly on an inverter instead of turning on and off like a standard, it makes sense that an inverter unit will need to be cleaned more often since it pulls more air through the coils.- Hawk256
