What does this say about tenants though? You expect someone to buy a home that you can’t afford, rent it to you until you can. Meanwhile, maintain it while you rent it, pay the property taxes and insurance as well, basically have a tiny cas

Rent vs own isn’t the issue then. It’s the cost of the underlying asset.

Still feels like you're blowing it out of proportion and are judging my hobby and reading into my post as braggadocios (which it was meant to be very matter of fact and kind of the opposite if you read any of it besides what I admitted

Well said! A large part of my ethos is not caring what people think of me. As in, random people that don’t know me or try to make guess of my social status based on what signals I’m putting out. I care about what some people think about me,

FWIW Nobody I know sees me rent these cars. I usually do it while on vacation. They’re fun to drive, so it’s closer to an occasional hobby than a complete change of my lifestyle

The last one is key to my entire value system as a person. I have had some financial wins in life and try not to let it impact my day to day. I avoid, sometimes with great effort, flashy things (I’ve been tempted to by exotic cars as an exa

They usually succeed with me. Or if I really plan on purchasing I sign up to get the discount only to immediately opt out, so what’s the point? We’ve been furnishing a new house and so getting usually ~15% off a high ticket purchase I’m alr

Agree. It doesn’t have the futuristic vibe but an urban gondola type system is probably what would be best. Especially in a city where there may already be a network of structures to leverage (eg. The buildings/rooftops and elevators).

As a layman on this topic, but assuming the gathering requires fossil fuel and probably lots of it given the scale, is it feasible to do the gathering in a net negative carbon way? I feel like anything I hear about that teases net negative

If it requires an expert engineer/dishwasher to keep the flow running perfectly, the human is the bottleneck in the process. This sounds a lot more like the past before AI to me. What AI does is just give you enough dishes that they do

That link isn’t really easy to find from the home page is a large part of the gripe here. You have to click About in the footer, remain curious enough to click All Docs on that page (which Pricing isn’t usually a part of “docs”), then all y

Demand for software has been tied to demand for software engineering labor. That is no longer true. So demand for software may still go up while demand for labor goes another direction. Also I do hold a belief that most tech companies are t

People speak in relative terms and hear in absolutes. Engineers will never completely vanish, but it will certainly feel like it if labor demand is reduced enough. Technically, there’s still a horse buggy whip market, an abacus market, and

I feel standard commercial radio is already that hellscape. I mostly listen to rock (classic or alternative radio stations) and it's the same ~20 things being rinsed and repeated every hour and every day. Has been this way for decades.

Not sure if it flags as fake but I'd look into getting a dedicated Twilio number, then just forward incoming texts to your email or something like that. It would at least get the "shady" part out of the equation as Twilio is

I understand that but I don’t feel they’re ready to hear what I have to say on it. In a way, I’m waiting for the right time. I have to preserve our relationship and try to be optimistic for them as a supportive friend for the time being.
