I was in tech for more than a decade. I would go back _if_ I could find a well run company with a good team rather than the corporate bureaucracy that sucks the fun out of coding. I am currently building out my farm. I am also a general con

Inflation has run at ~2-3% since the 1990's.[1] And according to that chart, inflation took off in 2020. You might want to check your reasoning on this issue. [1] https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FPCPITOTLZGUSA

I played the original Age of Empires when I was really young, I liked it so much I built my first website ever on geocities about that game. I loved AoE 2 when it came out too. And yeah I loved the history immersion

>What a very odd article to come from a think tank, it's titled and reads like something from the NY Post. Do you actually reason about the world this way? Kinda odd.

When commercial loans are renewed (and they are because commercial loans are usually rolled over and not paid off, ie interest only) things like the occupancy rate, rent cost, creditworthiness of lessees and other things are factored into t

A packaged life? How is it horrifying? As if someone knows what I want better than I do? I wake up everyday and it's a "choose your own adventure" day for me. Why would I want everything pre-configured. How could I adapt to c

I lived near the Fairchild superfund site for many years. I remember when it was a hollow husk of a concrete building. And then the paved it over and put a supermarket and whatnot there. Growing up I knew a lot of kids that were affected by
