Sorry, I guess I missed the point you were trying to make in the difference between actualized demand at this price and theoretical demand at some price. I agree that there's not going to be any kind of big housing crash for exactly the reason there's a massive supply shortage and a lot of...

My grandfather was part of the Limits to Growth/Club of Rome work at MIT in the 70's. I'm trained in the same modeling disciplines and without getting too much into the weeds, there are some deep flaws in the original work (no elasticity of demand or substitution based on resource scarcity, for...

It just doesn't seem to jive with actual mortgage applications, which are down 30% YOY and at 25-year lows. https://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/data/mortgage-applications...

Knowing nothing about the methodology I have suspicions about "plans to buy a home." I suspect there's a fair bit of, "Yes, I want a house... Oh fuck the rates are WHAT now?" (Yes, I know the rates are still not insane in a long historical view, but there has been a significant recent reduction...

Yup. I have a contractor friend with a sterling reputation. He's booked up for the next year and a half.

I'm not talking about infinite growth. I'm talking about their population not replacing itself. When growth rates drop the average population age increases steadily. If you don't maintain an appropriate faction of people of working age everyone is in for a bad time. You can call it baffling...

Japan is literally dying as a matter of demographics. Their population has been flat/declining since ~2004 and they're xenophobic enough that immigration is extremely difficult. You can't have an economy without new people.

For a second there I though you were talking about the investing thread. "Yeah, I mean people recommend low-fee ETFs but there's more going on than just Vanguard..."

Bas Rutten used to talk about how he preferred open-handed strikes from Pancrase because you could hit just as hard with less risk of breaking your hand.

I'm played a pure damage PBAOE berzerker build and it's pretty hilarious. I love the zero-cooldown movement skill. Only lvl 35, but I can clear everything as fast as I can leap-slam through it.

Start at timestamp.

I don't get why anyone prefers the owners do repairs instead of taking cash. Who do you want supervising the work for the house you're going to live in, you, or the guy moving out in 30 days with the incentive to do it as cheaply as possible?

So I gave this another chance and am having a much better time. I'm about lvl 30 now and have a taste of all the systems, I think. The gameplay feels great. I've tried it on my phone, too, and while there's no substitute for keyboard and mouse it plays surprisingly well.

LOOOOOOL https://www.wsj.com/articles/chess-cheating-hans-niemann-magnus-carlsen-lawsuit-11666291319 Edit: Non-paywall link. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-63338375 I expect Hans to lose this badly, stupid damage requests aside. You can't get pissed at being called a cheater when...

Pathetic. JWST can't even take a picture with the corners filled in.

Lichess overall has higher ratings by several hundred points. It's just a symptom of their player population dynamics and implementation of ELO. Both Lichess and Chess.com will give ratings somewhat higher than you'd get OTB.

The Logitech Embody has a slightly thicker seat cushion, which I like.

It's believed to be inherently a drawn game with perfect play, but given the staggering number of possible positions we don't have the computing power to truly reduce it to a "if this move then that move" decision tree. Even the engines that can look 30-40 moves deep don't see everything (of...

I tried it for about 20 minutes and everything just seemed bland and devoid of context. The intro cinematic, tutorial voiceovers, and character dialogue all feel like they were written to mimic anime translations and are clearly recorded as one-off lines with no feeling of conversation to them...

They had a doctor there who tried to stop the match because the dude's eye was swelling and he couldn't see.

It was pointed at Earth, otherwise we wouldn't have seen it.

Fortunately, no one's after my tits. As far as tits on my package, I've yet to file any complaints.

Man, you are completely full of shit and I fucking resent your summary. Small tits are perfectly acceptable on the right package.

So is raking my yard. This game... is a game. I'm not grabbed by anything.

Blue shorts had a shallow, high underhook on black shorts, which means his wrist was trapped in black's armpit. Black shorts hooked over blue's elbow and violently drove it across the body. This can easily dislocate the shoulder or break the elbow. It's the same thing Jon Jones did to Glover...

Don't marry shitty vindictive people, and don't be a shitty person against whom people will want vindication. For those celebrity breakups, it's worth noting that even those enormous settlements probably made zero tangible impact on the man's life. Stable diffusion for "don't be a shitty...

Wight absolutely should steal that and follow it with a blank chapter and a forever-unexplained gap in the story.

So are Falcon 9/Heavy; they just happen to also overlap with necessary technology development. The entire enterprise is designed as a self-sustaining engineering/funding engine with a big target on Mars.

Have you tried a clamp meter to see how much power your saw actually draws on startup?

Walnut just oxidizes and fades with age unless you protect it with a finish. Sunlight, heat, air, all accelerate. How old is that stack? Edit: I don't imagine the bleaching goes very deep. It'll probably darken up again when you resurface it.

They did hotfix, and also this was only happening in ladder. I didn't pay enough attention to the notes and was trying on a non-ladder horker. Oops.

Dunno. I have a trav GF barb and I cleared a bunch of 94+ terror zones with no results.

This doesn't seem true for me. Is there a trick to it?

Glad I was looking through older threads. I'm watching Dark now and it's fucking great. Looking forward to this one very much.
