The 100k+ over asking was the big deal because that never made it into the housing data properly so prices looked like they were lower than they were and we don’t have accurate comparison data now
- Comment on A conundrum 1 week ago:
Very dependent on the field. A lot of jobs are concentrated in a handful of major cities, mostly very HCOL but with high salary. That’s why remote work becoming bigger partially caused the housing surge nationwide.

Asymmetric warfare basic.

No one that is an American politician will be directly financed by Russia. It would always be indirect or hidden shell companies.

Senate investigation is sadly partisan and doesn’t mean much anymore. They’ll find what they wanted to find.

Lol. I just have a writing style that I use. It can be considered eclectic with a mix of various influences. The pluralized word is a buffy “whedonesque” influence.
But the point is that Russia has been running alternative warfare efforts and cyber stuff for a long time. They stoke various movements and invent ideas and spread them with bots and shills. Basically anything that strengthens Russian imperialism and weakens or fractures NATO.
- Comment on Wikipedia is resilient because it is boring 2 weeks ago:
Weakening NATO is their goal.

There’s been a number of news coverages of this. It’s not like it’s the biggest operation or anything but they have been trying to plant that seed intentionally.

Lots of it is still pretty shit, but that’s what happens when you have an entry on incredibly obscure things where there’s not a lot of sources information.

California and West Coast separatism is most strongly advocated by Russian agents seeking to weaken the US.
- Comment on Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs 2 weeks ago:
We’re still limited by what the HDMI and DP cables can throughput so it’s not like 8k tvs are even ready. Nobody wants an 8k tv if the cables can’t even transmit full fat uncompressed signal.

Money for elderly that can prevent them from needing very expensive nursing home care is a huge market with no limit if the product works well. Especially for Japan but really everywhere will have increasingly large cohorts of their elderly people with not enough young people to care for them.
- Comment on Why do i tip my bartender $2 per drink and per bar food order but 20% when I order food from a waitress? Am I tipping wrong? 4 weeks ago:
You also have a thing where the minimum wage is far below the actual market rate, the typical wage in the area, and actually making minimum wage is way less than any other job. Nobody wants 7.25 an hour unless you’re forced to.

Children. Name calling isn’t something anyone else wants to see. If a weak insult is all you have to say then just ignore them.

This type only lasts a few weeks anyway, after that it will just look uniformly short.

Only if your exposure in the future is less than in the past. Otherwise it will just go back up again. And considering plastic use is going up, you would have to use air filters and avoid micro plastics as much as possible.

The lighter ones can be 25-30 lbs.

Simple, you just defragment the person into drone size pieces then reassemble.
- Comment on Enough of the billionaires and their big tech. ‘Frugal tech’ will build us all a better world 1 month ago:
There’s no reason you couldn’t have people grow a new Internet that isn’t reliant on AWS and cloud flare and other big tech stuff, it’s just that it’s much easier to do that since it’s already there. And you still have the problems with spammers even if you try to move away from capitalism.

FOSS doesn’t work as well for everything. But for something like this privacy and not leaking data is more important if you’re going to run it on your computer.
- Comment on Enough of the billionaires and their big tech. ‘Frugal tech’ will build us all a better world 1 month ago:
That just sounds like you don’t want the majority of people to use it. You still only have 4% of desktop users on Linux.
- Comment on There's still no sign of Star Citizen 1.0, but it did just get a revamped referral program so the die-hards can tempt in even more saps 2 months ago:
The money is going to salaries, so it’s basically just extended development. They’re all working and doing something. It’s basically just instead of releasing a game 6 years ago that was barebones and okay they’re making the sequel and won’t release the final game until they’re well done.
I’m confident it will release eventually, maybe another 5-8 years. As long as the devs don’t die of old age.

If you live in a rural area they’re better at delivering if it’s real muddy out.

The kingdoms have changed several times, they’re basically trying to use a more accurate system based on DNA using genotyping to decide which groups are more closely related and be less reliant on behavior and appearance.
- Comment on Patreon plans to consolidate its Pro and Premium plans starting August 5, taking a 10% commission, rather than the current 8% for Pro and 12% for Premium users 2 months ago:
You know it’s a percentage right?
- Comment on Top D&D designers join Critical Role after quitting Wizards of the Coast 2 months ago:
It’s interesting and it seems like a good change for people that have done a lot of d&d but it’s probably not going to be a complete replacement for 5e. It seems good for short campaigns but it only has one book out for now.

Yeah, if it was just decorative with a facade then this is fine.
