30 years ago, my work mentor told me to keep $200 cash reserve at home in case of emergencies. 10 years ago, our realtor said to up that amount to $1000.
Do you keep a cash reserve at home, in addition to what is in your wallet?
No, I don’t use cash much anymore
No, I don’t have much money to spare
Yes, I keep under $100 in reserve
Yes, I keep at least $100-200 in reserve
Yes, I keep around $300-600 in reserve
Yes, I keep around $700-1000 or so in reserve
Yes, I keep around $1000 in reserve
Yes, I keep around $1500 in reserve
yes, I keep around $2000 in reserve
Yes, I keep a good amount of cash but not as a reserve, it’s at home because I don’t want to put it in the bank

These are some US regional hot dog styles according to Google’s AI. I do not vouch for the accuracy of these or their popularity in their particular region (except for the Chicago one).
Which ones do you like or sound appealing to you? Choose as many as you’d like.
Chicago Dog: An all-beef hot dog on a poppy seed bun, “dragged through the garden” with yellow mustard, chopped white onions, bright green sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomato slices or wedges, pickled sport peppers, and a dash of celery salt.
New York Hot Dog: A kosher-beef hot dog served on a white bun. A classic New York street dog comes with spicy brown mustard, sauerkraut, and a splash of cooked onion sauce.
Seattle Dog: A hot dog topped with cream cheese and grilled onions, often with sriracha and jalapeños.
Sonoran Dog: A hot dog wrapped in bacon, placed in a bolillo-style roll, and topped with pinto beans, onions, tomatoes, mayo, mustard, and salsa.
D.C. Half-Smoke: A spicy, smoked sausage that is half beef and half pork, served on a bun with mustard and onions.
Detroit Coney: A hot dog topped with a savory bean-free chili, diced yellow onions, and yellow mustard, served on a steamed white bun.
Atlanta Dog: A hot dog topped with a generous amount of chili, slaw (coleslaw), onions, and mustard.
Kansas City Hot Dog: A pork and beef hot dog on a sesame seed bun, topped with melted Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and brown mustard.

I thought about doing the world’s 10 busiest transit systems, but half of them are in China and only two of them are outside of Asia, so I thought that wouldn’t get much of a response. So I went through Wikipedia’s list of transit systems and picked a few from each continent.
Serious political question that I’ve mused on elsewhere, but not so directly… (A bit dark, so feel free to skip if you come here for random silliness.)
Given where you think the country and world is headed in the next 5-10 years, which of the following basic life activities would you consider to be so futile or counterproductive to basic survival that you would stop or have stopped doing it (assume all options are still relevant to your life and you’d willingly do it or have to do it in more stable times), or activelydiscourage someone else from doing it? (I’m assuming that nobody involved in this hypothetical is someone who’d actually thrive under Trump’s ideal.)
Working
Paying taxes
Saving or investing money
Having children
Maintaining residence in a red state
Maintaining residence in the United States
None of these (at least not to the point I’m comfortable ceasing or discouraging them)
There’s another activity I’d cease or discourage that would be as disruptive as the above options, but it’s not listed here.

For example, one could argue, what good is having a job when the fascist dystopia is going to ruin the economy/dollar/industry/daily life? Wouldn’t that time and money be better spent fleeing or protesting or on guns?
You work in a typical 9ish-5 M-F office job; you have to be in the orifice four days a week but can work remotely on the fifth day. What day would you choose to regularly work remotely?
