A picture from our neighbourhood! I'm nice and cozy inside with my coding and coffee.

That was awesome. But seriously? Can't a man be bothered to put on a tie at a black tie event?

I noticed that the other day, too! Very nice. The problem I have is that I like to buy 1-year T-bills, but 90% of the time, when it's time for me to buy the T-bill, the next auction only offers 3-month, 6-month, and 2- or 3-year, completely skipping over 1-year.

As an engineer, I typically change jobs every few years, so I get new accounts for my 401k, HSA, and brokerage for RSUs.

Regarding the homeless encampments that are growing noticeably all over the U.S., where are the additional homeless people coming from? Where did they live before they joined the homeless encampments? Were they previously more nomadic, wandering between less visible, out-of-the-way areas since polic...

Those are all good points, boglerdude, but they are all long-term trends that have been advancing for decades.

What has happened in the last few years that could explain why homelessness seems to have increased so rapidly over that short timeframe?

This report is worth your time: Seattle is Dying I actually watched that report a while back when someone on this board (maybe you? don't remember) first posted it. It opened my eyes to the effect that law enforcement (or lack thereof) can have on the homeless problem, but the overall impression I ...
