OCRd for readability
Hey. Giving away the hot tub. It’s a 6 seater, paid $4,200 new in 2014, jets all still work, heater works mostly. You haul. It’s around 700 lbs empty, so you’ll want a trailer and at least three guys. There’s a spigot on the back left for draining.
One thing to know up front. The tub has developed preferences.
I’m not trying to mislead anyone so I’m being straight with you. Starting in early 2022 it started doing things. The jets on the north side, the side facing the house, shut off when my ex-wife Cheryl would get in. Not when anyone else got in. Just her. I had two repair guys out, both said nothing was wrong with the unit. The second guy said “sometimes appliances pick up on stuff” which I didn’t really process at the time.
By that summer she was barely using it. She said the water “felt judgmental.” I thought she was being dramatic. Then in October she sat down across from me in the tub and told me about Greg. The tub went completely still. No bubbles, no hum, the underwater light dimmed about halfway down. I’m not saying it reacted, I’m just telling you what happened in the order it happened.
After she moved out it came back to normal mostly. Bubbles are good, heat is good. But it will not warm past 98 degrees if a woman named Emma uses it. Doesn’t matter which Emma. My sister Emma, my neighbor Emma, and the Emma who delivered a package and asked if she could test it because she was thinking about buying one. All three. 98 and it stops climbing. You can test this yourself, bring a Emma.
Couple other things to mention. Around 2 or 3 am it sometimes cycles the jets on its own for about 40 seconds. I used to think it was a timer issue but the timer’s been unplugged since January. Also the cover remembers. I don’t really want to get into the cover.
I’m not asking anything for it, I just want it gone. I think it would be happier somewhere new, somewhere it doesn’t have to think about Greg. If you take it. please be kind to it. It’s been through a lot. We both have.

How is this a principled idea? There are countless examples across the economy where we have these labor tradeoffs. Building your own IKEA furniture. Picking up food yourself instead of getting it delivered. Yet we almost never have politicians come in and try to impose price controls on this deferred labor.

I’m pretty well read in economics. This is a well known concept called unintended consequences. People who are familiar know that there are endless ways to game any system and we tend to prefer very simple rules.

- Comment on Why do some people identify with a political party even if many of their views don't align with that party's platform? 3 weeks ago:
On social issues like LGBTQ there’s a generational effect, like a shifting baseline. I’m a millennial and I support gays and trans people as much as the next guy, but because I grew up with it, I’m not as sensitive to the use of gay as a casual epithet as someone younger.
If we didn’t have a political system that drives people into 2 parties, there would probably be a party for blue dog democrats that’s more moderate and socially conservative.
Look up Moral Foundations Theory to get a better understanding of the psychological underpinnings of political ideology.

Social Security is not designed to redistribute a ton of money from the rich to the poor. And it isn’t used to fund the government so it doesn’t make the rich pay their “fair share”. It’s intended to force people to save so we don’t have a ton of poor seniors around.
Rich people are taxed up to a certain amount. So the rich and super rich pay in the same maximum dollar amount. But on the other side the benefits that they get out are capped in the same way.
It’s not supposed to be like a retirement plan where you assume you’re going to live on 80% of your income in retirement. It’s just there to ensure you have “enough”. The most money an individual can get out of social security, the maximum benefit, is $5181/month.
To be a little more accurate, Social Security Disability Insurance is redistributive by design.

If we’re talking a major cost, the landlord will probably amortize it over a long period, so if you’re only renting a short period you won’t pay for it all.

If the packaging is a reusable mold then this makes sense.
- Comment on The end of civilization costs $5 1 month ago:
Yeah, you want it to freeze on one end first to push out the bubbles. And even then it just pushes the bubbles to one end so you’d have to chip/cut away at them if you want perfectly clear ice.
I have molds for that style ice cube and I can’t be arsed to use them, let alone care about the bubbles.

- Comment on Why do companies require you to submit a resume but also put the same data into their forms? 1 month ago:
Structured data vs. unstructured data. The form is structured data and it can be manipulated easily and reliably with code. With unstructured data it’s a lot of guesswork and chance.
Also sometimes HR can’t use the resume because the name could reveal gender or ethnicity and they need to blind that. And it’s not trivial to manipulate any part of the resume to do that masking.
- Comment on Why? 1 month ago:
I can see how they got there from the implementation side. There’s a library they used for their site, maybe a CMS, where all those choices are just a click away. But for email they have to get their hands on an SMTP server. And that takes non-zero effort.
