It’s actually that a small cheap home and a large expensive home aren’t much different in cost for a builder, but the second nets way more profit. So no builder wants to build and sell starter homes. Thus, housing shortage for working class people looking for affordable homes.

Somewhat still impactful is that construction has a worker shortage, but that’s probably in part cause they don’t get paid enough to attract more new tradespeople. If they DID get paid enough, it would drive up prices further since builders still want the same cut and their margins aren’t that crazy to begin with.

How do we incentivize building and selling starter homes? They need to be more profitable relative to expensive big homes, or working class people need more income to afford them to increase demand at rates builders would make good money on due to volume.

I think the growth of townhomes for sale and five over one condos is helping with this somewhat, but not enough. Many of those get used for apartments or short term rental too because those are still more profitable than just selling.

Yeah but it’s easy when both parents already had the same last name 🪕

It helps mask frame drops when turning or moving fast if the game is particularly demanding.

750 a year? Wtf is this retard smoking. Cost for land, hay storage, water, vet, and farrier. Human time cost to feed them twice a day, get rid of or spread the shit. Blanket, saddle, bridle. You’re looking at a few thousand a year minus the time sink.

Yeah my first gaming pc was like…a crappy HP desktop with an Nvidia 6600 that I plugged in. Worked great for Age of Mythology lol

I’m glad that many kids are into PC gaming, at least. That’s still a decent vector into computer proficiency and a little hardware knowledge.

I went team red for the first time in 20 years with a 7900XTX and have been super happy. Don’t get me wrong, still expensive, but not as insulting as team green’s pricing.

I don’t think the new strategy of injecting ads directly into the video stream can be defeated in realtime though. It’s like how you cannot defeat tv ads…you can blank the screen, or record and restitch without the ads, but the content itself has the ad. YouTube is a bit different where you can theoretically skip ahead, but your device has to tell Youtube that it wants to skip ahead in order to actually even get the video content, and youtube can look at request timestamps to know you didn’t see the whole injected ad and just re-inject it in the video stream.

I should get paid a lot less for typing on a keyboard all day, but oh well.

Ironic considering after North Korea invaded the south in 1950, there were various pressures in US military command to employ atomic weapons and 34 were prepared, but ultimately the Americans exercised restraint.

What, does NK have some bizarre projection paranoia that SK will pour over the border like NK did?

Pretty sad, this was apparently Coppola’s drram movie he always wanted to make

Older gen Z is in their mid 20s. Higher education enrollment rates are declining. I don’t see much wrong, factually, with that point of the assessment.
