Yeah roughly $6 a gallon after currency conversion.

Is there a startup that helps companies onboard users?

For diesel, there is the thinking that if you keep the engine idling rather than turning it off and back on (letting it cool down) it will last much longer. I don't know how much truth there is in that but I do know it is a popular opi

Probably not. Cheap gas generators use a ton of fuel.

by odonnellryan 5y ago
I dunno if that is really accurate. A diesel engine is really just a generator.

Abortion is a religious thing (for some reason - God killed lots of babies in the Bible, and also there isn't really much mention of abortion either) more than anything, but I guess you could also say that religion is just a way to con

There wasn't any real evidence for the use of Ivermectin. Some public policies were not perfect or misguided (lockdowns) some were inconsistent with both messaging and implementation (masks) some were really good and people are against

There is also the non-inflation adjusted line there. Nevermind. I think I can tell you're not really interested in having your opinion changed lol

Crashed? What do you consider a crash? Housing (at least in the US) never crashed if you're not adjusting for inflation. If you do adjust for inflation, housing was mostly flat. It is not hard to find this data.

Just look at these charts: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FEDFUNDS https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/DGS10 I admit I'm not an expert here - but unless someone comes to be with a really g

That's definitely not true about antibiotics.

I don't really like this fallacy as I think it is really dangerous. Because you're wrong about something (or even everything) doesn't mean you're wrong about another thing. Because there are examples of the medical commu

Obviously it is not guaranteed bro. We only have history to base these assumptions on. The history backs the fact that housing prices will not go down - unless there is another major issue like the fraud during 2008, which seems unlikely bu

You're just being silly. Just look at the data: https://inflationdata.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2021/1... It is easy to see that even during insane rates (80s etc) housing prices didn't c

Because interest rates don't immediately go up. Because the government has ways to ensure that they do not have to pay too much to service the debt. Because the government doesn't have to issue new debt to pay the old debt. Etc..

Of course it matters what people think.

You're right it is hard to beat that. And mostly everyone can see it is absurd. It is also probably absurd to extrapolate this event to a representation of an entire culture or political affiliation. I would challenge you to ask ten li

No. Why do you think it has gone too far?

What you're saying isn't new.

by odonnellryan 5y ago
That's not true.

by odonnellryan 5y ago
Probably not much. The only time the US had a major home price adjustment was 2008 and that was because the housing market was the problem. Currently the housing market is up but not a problem. There aren't crazy foreclosures and there

Oh not on HN sorry. I meant in the context of general conservative discourse. I have friends and family who bring up the Clintons a lot.

by odonnellryan 5y ago
It is rare for people to handle different and uncomfortable well, but some people handle it really poorly.

The Clinton stuff is really funny. HN is not really the place for heated political commentary but there is deep irony there with regards to how a certain portion of the population responds to criticism of Trump and his policies (lately, mos

Honestly I used to work early and I enjoy going into work before the sun is up. I don't understand why you need the sun up when you're going to work unless you work outside. And if you do your hours would just change anyway no mat

Lots of fun, but the issue with the images (is this the problem?) needs to be fixed. And the command issue where everyone sees the output - I wonder how hard that would be to address. Neat app!

Is no one mentioning how you cannot delete your account on HN? :)

I hate this argument. I hear it all the time. It's wrong and silly.
