Google would not have considered constructing 15k homes had interest rates not been at historic lows. They're not in the construction or real estate business. And I fail to see what is absurd and obscene, except perhaps the inverse, th

Okay, I get you. And you're right, if I pitted a 'random' program against this site, the outcome would tend toward 50%.

These people aren't talking about sports that require skill. They just mean physical activity anyone can do, like hiking. The actual meaning of the advice is to find a physical activity you can tolerate in order to find a mate who isn&

This is cliched advice that I am slowly beginning to hate. I honestly can't imagine many things more pathetic than a couple going on a jog together. I'm dead serious. If you have a "shared interest" let it be something

Man, that's grim. I just think these people think the moment they go out alone with their thoughts, the first one is something real morbid: Maybe I should kill myself! Slow down buddy, we were just going on a walk alone.

One of my favorite times to practice not looking at my phone is when I'm waiting for something outside of my home. Waiting for a coffee at the cafe? Stare off into space, not at my phone. I find the only time this is difficult is if I&

We're missing the "conflict of interest" because you are abusing the meaning of the term. What you describe is simply a bias. Conflict of interest would be if I take money from parties A and B. Party A pays me to give a profe

I'm not against this, but I do believe such a header would give parents a false sense of security in what they can allow their children to do on the internet. Then again, for those of us who are skeptical that such a program can work,

People will believe whatever nonsense they want to believe contrary to any evidence. It's just like the 40 beheaded babies story from a week ago, but from the other side. Both sides get to believe false narratives, so it's all qui

I'll try to answer some of your questions, but I'm not an accountant. 1. You're trying to understand the money coming in and going out of a business. The organization of this information can make certain events more apparent,

Well, they also support property rights, not just freedom. "Selling" your ADU would either require dividing up the parcel (which I am guessing is nontrivial in most places) or somehow itemizing improvements on the parcel so that t

ADUs seem like a bandaid solution for lack of housing supply in desirable areas. Not that I think they shouldn't be legal, but we're talking about paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for what amounts to a shed in someone else&

I am also confused by this statement. The most generous interpretation I have is that this number is quite high, and therefore, the bar to being more 'affordable' than this is 'low' in that selling, say, a $500,000 ADU a

A lot of people are under the impression that these stores can just eat the cost with insurance, which is, of course, an absurd notion because then the insurance company is losing too much money and will raise the premiums. Then Walmart, et
