How does the math work out on that? I'm not quite sure what home prices are like in the UK, but let's say you bought a house for 350k and paid cash. That leaves 400k. You retire at 30, and conservatively have 40 more years to live. That's only 10k/year for the rest of your life. You still have expenses such as home insurance, car insurance, consumables, etc. Doesn't seem like much. To be fair I'm also not factoring in any kind of pension or social security or anything like that.

They are saying the return to office mandate will cause the best performers (who are likely more confident in securing another job) to quit first, not that everyone shouldn't be WFH.

No, sorry if that wasn't clear. She was telling the story to me and my parents, "he" was the man she'd been on a date with at the same restaurant previously.

I took my current gf and my parents to a nice restaurant last night. She mentioned she'd only been there once before, on a date, and that the only reason they went to that restaurant (very $$$) is because he had a gift card and was going to cover the meal. Orders all kinds of expensive stuff. The bill comes and then supposedly he realizes his gift card, if it actually existed in the first place, was for a different restaurant. She ended up having to pay on her CC because he had no other forms of payment. Obviously didn't work out for him in the end.

As a person living in Maine, I do love the legal weed but it's getting pretty annoying when every new business that opens is a dispensary. I have no idea how they all make enough revenue to stay open. Some blocks in Portland literally have 3+ dispensaries.

I went to the Museum of Osteology in Oklahoma City and they have an area in the entrance where you can watch the beetles do their thing.

I don't think it's that far fetched. Pickled watermelon is delicious, melon with prosciutto is delicious. Sweet, salty, and vinegar are an age old combination.

Gathering, cutting, measuring all the ingredients before cooking is actually a very well regarded French method called mis en place so you're basically already classically trained 😜

I would take it to mean if you've never owned a home
