More than that now, actually. There are two just in Colorado Springs and a bunch up in Denver Metro.

They never really acknowledged it was here. I live near one of the Colorado locations and it has been (in)famous for COVID outbreaks the entire pandemic. And, for whatever obvious reasons, In-N-Out hasn't had the same closures enforced on them that every other restaurant did. During an outbreak they're supposed to close for a few days in our state, but they're basically the only restaurant that has refused to close and has never faced repercussions out here. It's maddening.
More research is emerging that gas stoves kick off carcinogens and are, in the US at least, often poorly ventilated.
I just put an 85" in my basement. That thing is annoying enough that it can stay with the house if/when I move. A 98" TV seems like it would be impossible to get down the same flight of stairs. If I upgrade again in this house it will 100% be a projector.
This is so frustratingly common. I worked for a company I loved and it got bought out by a company I hated. When people (including me) started quitting, the CTO said "but why? We have video games in the break room."
Large companies are often run by crazy people, I guess.
A whole lot of Americans who don't work from home look like that today :/
He's generally non-optimal on other things, but I certainly wouldn't call his advice straight up bad on anything. Overall most people are signficantly better off following his advice than doing average-person personal finance things - the average person is pretty terrible with money and Dave's plan is a huge step up from that.
It's kinda like calling one diet bad because it's not as optimized as some other diet, but really both diets are amazing when you compare them to eating McDonalds 3 meals a day.
Yup! I'm a fan and a current customer (have been with them over a decade)... except that it's kinda expensive now. For people new to it I'd recommend actualbudget instead and just do manual/semi-manual imports.
Haven't really used spinning disks for anything but my home NAS since 2010 or so. Which means all my old drives come out of the NAS... And either get cycled into my backup NAS or put into a multi-disk jbod enclosure that I use as "scratch" space for random data projects I'm doing on the side.
Ones that cycle out of scratch space are wiped and, if I'm being honest, sitting in a stack in my storage room. I really should stop procrastinating a trip to the recyclers...
Very simply: consistent budgeting. We (my wife and I) go envelope-style and budget/plan or money every paycheck. I swear it's magic that turns money into more money.
It's also let us systematically pay off all our non-mortgage debt and save/invest a large amount over the last decade. Now we have enough that we don't worry about money anymore.
The single most important thing I've ever done for my finances was learning to budget so I could have a plan and manage my money on purpose.
The gamification of credit card points can be a problem, too (overspending on stuff you don't really need or want to get those rewards). I use a credit card for this, too, but it can be murky waters if you don't have really good planning and impulse control (which I will admit I don't always have myself).

I'm OK with prohibited public burnings for the purpose of fire safety, I guess. Beyond that, I don't think I'd want to limit free speech in this manner.
