Depends on the subfield. Archaeology is in high demand due to historic preservation laws.

But yeah capping out is annoying, but also common in a lot of fields.

There’s a lot of jobs in the private and public sector for people with anthropology degrees. In the US, anthropology is taught as a four field approach encompassing Biological Anthropology, Cultural Anthropology, Linguistic Anthropology, and Archaeology.

Each of the subfields have different levels of hireability based on a bachelor’s degree.

I personally only have a bachelor’s and live well. I have a home and live comfortably. But, to your point, I have essentially capped out my earnings. I can’t make more without obtaining a graduate degree.

This explains why people gave me a hard time for getting an anthropology degree…

So main issue with this comment is the UK system allows for more than 2 choices.

My city owns all our utilities. Works the same, arguably more reliable

This isn’t a choice issue. It should be state owned and operated in a non-profit capacity, and everyone should pay their fair share.

Back at the office:

So it seems people don’t like ads on their vibrator which means they are viewing them. Let’s wait a couple of years for the anger to die down then do it again.

The effect is still the same these companies are given access to my personal information because the government wants to monitor our activity online

I would fully accept a law that allowed companies to advertise nationally the pre-tax price with a small disclaimer saying applicable taxes vary by location, and then require the in store price tags to reflect all taxes.

There’s no excuse not to anymore. Yes it does vary, and a computer can easily adjust the price.

In this case I understand not downsizing until your kids are established with a job/place to live.

Depending on equity and their mortgage payment it may not even be possible to downsize without paying more per month. That’s the insanity of the current market.

Remember this is an occupied family home with an unoccupied room. Not a whole property.

What would you suggest?

A lot of kids move back after college. I definitely wouldn’t downsize until my family was secure and for sure no longer needed the space.

Now the question is it better to allow that space sit vacant or rent out the space.

I think there is a defensible position for renting out a temporarily unused space in your primary home versus buying vacant properties solely to rent.

Sure you can argue they dont need that space, but a lot of kids return after college. If I had kids I’d only downsize once they are well established. It’s about ensuring the security of your family and ensuring they have a place to come back to.

Is it better to let that sit space vacant for 4+ years though?

Not an apartment complex, but a building makes sense.

I’m not saying it’s just, but there are some loans that allow you to buy a quadplex but you have to live there. You are free to rent out the remaining units.

Exactly, I’d argue kids are the most likely to go to lengths to circumvent the rules

Forget tax havens, eventually some countries will probably become content havens and sell server space hosted there. Probably some carribean island

You could probably chop 1000 calories and handwash your bottoms more often

And that’s why our species will die in the muck after we drain this planet of everything it needs to support our lives

You could double everything in this post too and that’s only 60% consumption.

• 20 m² of personal living space + 20 m² for every 2 ppl as bathroom / kitchen
• 4200 kcal/day
• 2800 kWh/year, but this already includes public services (education/healthcare)
• 1 washing machine per 10 ppl
• 2.4 kg clothing / 6 months
• wear tops for 1.5 days and bottoms for 7.5 days without washing
• 1 laptop per 2 people with a yearly power consumption of 62 kWh. (bizzarely they talk about an 800 MHz computer and seem to confuse HDD and RAM). If your gaming computer used 400 W you could use it for 300 hr/year.

That seems a lot more reasonable to me and we still come in under carrying capacity

Yeah stealing from random people to “survive” is not okay.

This isn’t stealing food from a store this is taking money from everyday people’s trying to rent an apartment
