Well, I imagine you’d expect it to tend to cause rents to go up and house prices to go down if it shifts supply from the rental market to the sales market

Yes and no. Vast majority of rents are largely set by what it takes for an investor to pay the mortgage on the property, whether constructed or purchased. Property values crashing out due to no more institutional investors dumping cash into the market will have a downward pressure on rents overall, eventually.

Winter is a great time to be buying very warm, protective clothing like a balaclava, large winter hats, insulated gloves, and puffy mass produced black jackets!

this will never happen, this was just an announcement to force stocks in large real estate companies to dip so the insiders can make money.

Since Trump will likely put the proceeds of this oil in his personal pockets, this is probably just a payoff from Putin for ruining America’s standing in international defence circles. Putin doesn’t give a rip about a few million barrels of oil in the long run. They’ll rattle sabers publically for a week and then pretend it didn’t happen.

I had at least a few and they never fucking fired right like 95% of the time. The clack of the hammer was louder than the damn cap itself.

Later I got one of those that takes an orange revolver style cap set and they were so much more reliable. Except you ran out of ammo in like 3 seconds and getting a parent to go buy more of those expensive ass refill things was nearly impossible.

Sweet! All of two days of US consumption. This was definitely worth violating another country’s sovereignty and murdering a couple hundred people.

Yes but that’s based on precedent. The current administration gives zero fucks about precedent or logic or anything else. Any convenient excuse will work for them.

i think I’d rather stab my penis with a soldering iron than make a single phone call

• verify actual bed and print nozzle temp using IR or contact probe. Thermistors can die and cause too low a temp.
• fully wash bed with soap and water, not just IPA.
• try a different spool or brand of filament. Sometimes whole spools are just formulated badly and it won’t ever adhere right. I’ve tossed a few spools that wouldn’t ever print correctly no matter the settings.

Someone needs a war to cancel elections. Central america posturing makes sense.

As long as it’s not blocking the travel lane or the sidewalk, pretty sure it passes the smell test.

Having dealt with LaMalfa in local politics in my area, this is zero loss to humanity.

Granting legislative powers to the executive is not a check or balance, it disrupts the separation of powers.

It is not a legislative power though. A veto is not the executive writing a law. A veto is the executive saying “hey Senate, this bill sucks and I don’t want to implement it. Go back to the drawing board and either make something I like, or make something that all of you like more than 2/3.” Its a forced reconsideration that can avoid hastily written laws passed on a 50+1 and create laws that are more broadly palatable to the country as a whole.

Again, it makes sense in a rational system, with rational people- something we haven’t had since before Reagan.

The veto makes sense in the context of functional checks and balances. The point of a veto is it allows the President to force the legislature to reconsider and revise a bill that may have only passed by simple majority, requiring them to create a “better” bill that is palatable to 2/3rds of representatives rather than 50%+1.

However, as with the rest of the American experiment, it assumes the entire operation in good faith, which hasn’t been the case for decades.

Wait until Kim finds out a vast majority of public libraries also offer free Internet access…

Meanwhile I am 24, not old and remember doing this. My sole electronic entertainment for quite a while was an old Sears CRT with an Atari 2600 plugged into it, and depending on whether the room was warm or cold would change the vertical hold and I’d have to adjust it constantly.

Come to db0. We have better communities and are built on FOSS support and aren’t run by weirdos.

I pay for Spotify and a VPN. And even Spotify I’m currently questioning because they’ve started replacing some of my liked songs with totally different but similar seeming versions that might be AI generated.

I don’t need anything else.

I paid for a copy of the Torque app on android. It lets you use bluetooth OBD2 adapters to connect to your car’s ECU for reading live engine data and trouble codes. The pro paid version unlocks a lot more customization for data logging screens, allows you to save live data logs to your phone, and enables a wider range of readable codes… Makes a huge difference diagnosing weird engine issues in cars 1996 and newer.

No no you see, when he talks about “judicial independence” he means “judicial independence from the Constitution”
