I used to buy/sell junk stuffs in nyc. I would doubt this is a stolen collection from the pics posted.
Looks like a classic dump of the non-valuable lps from a larger collection. Maybe a dealer already bought the good stuff and the relatives of a deceased family put it on the curb, maybe a record store dumped it on the curb, maybe someone even drove by skid row and offered it for free because it was discarded.
Wash Your Hands! And clean the records and sleeves thoroughly. The ripped and torn sleeves look like they've been chewed by mice... (in the biz we called it "rodentia scarring" or something equally fanciful)
This post is over half a decade old, I wonder what percent of American budgets are spent on groceries in 2023? More or less than 8%?
There is more to this story. Freakonomics did an episode about the Cold War "Farms Race".

This paper outlines a similar method, but with the addition of guiding the plot structure. See page 30 for the specific prompt sets they used.
Pay attention to the timing of your ride! I rode this trip once and didn't get to the Rockies until it was too dark to see much of anything out the windows.
I found a state unemployment map: https://www.bls.gov/charts/state-employment-and-unemployment...
But, would love to see the equivalent of this chart broken down by state and job sector. I've noticed an uptick in holiday seasonal jobs in my area... wonder how this affects the data
NYC's Fact sheet about the new law notes that minimum and maximum stated salaries must be in "good faith". Not a lawyer, but maybe this is space for class action lawsuits or something...

I asked at my local bookshop if this was preferable to ordering the book with them and going to pick it up. They assured me it was, it saves them upfront costs and guarantees the sale.
I still go in when I can to browse new titles, but they don't carry much tech/computer related stuff.
Bruce "Utah" Phillips covers Harry McClintok standard "Hallelujah, I'm A Bum." Marching song of the International Worker's of the World, "Halleujah, I'm A Bum" is an important historical satire of work as identity.
This is interesting to me, as I try to change careers with no degree. I recently applied for the Walgreens Pharmacy Tech Apprenticeship.[^1] But, it seems like those jobs will be automated away soon too... I'm really looking for a tech support job, but options are limited in this small town.
Not sure about the age requirements or other account specifics, etc. But it seems like you should be able to use Apple Cash for allowances and such
From the FAQ:

Sure he could pay for it, but buying the company (and taking it private) is potentially a way to get paid for access. Web archives - like common crawl - are snap shots of the past, but twitter users react and discuss events in real time.
Reliably parsing and interpreting new, potentially unreliable data is part of that whole AI-complete thing.
In the recent Ted talk Musk talked about needing AI-complete solutions for projects like full self-driving and Optimus (tesla bot) to succeed. He also wryly mentioned that there was a plan b if his Twitter bid wasn't accepted.
