I’m looking for someone who’s an expert on payment plans offered at assisted living facilities for the elderly. I’m hoping to learn more about what are called “life plan communities,” which require people to make a sizable down payment before taking up residence. Please RT.

Random memory of how, when I was in middle school, we got the first lesson in how to diagram sentences but never followed up with subsequent lessons. And all the example sentences were standard and unremarkable.

AO3 people: my OTW donation thank-you gift was shipped in packaging that gave me the impression it was from an individual and no indication it was from OTW. So if you receive a mysterious package from a stranger, don't panic!

OK, so this is kind of hilarious: I've been getting a lot of new followers lately, so I checked Clearsky to see if I'm on a list. Turns out I'm on a list of people who are "hostile and offensive" about AI. And based on timing I think this post is what got me on that list: bsky.app/profile/impu...

Can someone ELI5 what this means? i.e. does it mean people/businesses in the US aren't ordering stuff from China (but they could if they wanted)? Or does it mean China isn't sending stuff to the US (even if the US wants to buy it)? Or something else?

The thing about the "it's here to stay" argument is it doesn't follow that it makes sense for you, personally, to use it. GPS is a technology that's here to stay, and it doesn't make sense to use it when you know where you're going or can navigate perfectly effectively by signs/landmarks

Do not adjust your screen. Viewing this tree does not require special 3-D glasses. That's just what the 'Rising Sun' redbud (Cercis canadensis) looks like. Native to North America, it was found growing wild & propagated. The trippy 3-D movie effect is a consequence of two factors:
