Yeah a similar policy in the UK (from 10ish years ago) is one of the biggest reasons for hugely inflated prices among small properties.
Obviously, the only real solution is to work to lower real-estate prices, but that would be unpopular with most home owners (who are a majority in the US).
Loading into World of War craft for the first time back in 2005 is probably the biggest.
Seeing all the people running around and doing their thing was incredible. It made me super excited to go explore the world.
My school offered a BA in physics. I never knew anyone who took it (I did the BS) but they claimed it was aimed at theater set- designers.
The target use case for large SD cards is high-resolution video recording.
Recording at 4k+ eats up space faaaaast. So you need both large-capacity as well as fast storage.
Not nearly as much of either. I went to both US and German universities and the difference was huge.
In German university there was really only loosely-organized recreational sports. You know… for normal students to enjoy. Professional athletes start their careers at professional clubs (which are much more prevalent than in the US due to how leagues are organized) rather than at universities.
In Germany there was also much less interacting with the administration. You basically only interacted with them when you started your degree and then once you could prove you were done. It’s much more ‘on you’ to figure things out and organize things compared to the US.
Yeah it’s just that the transport ministry is arguably the single biggest opportunity to enact green changes.
We don’t know how the negotiations went (maybe the FDP would have refused to go into government if the greens got the transport ministry) but it feels like a huge missed opportunity.
Same in Croatia. The idea is that the combined gift amounts cover the cost of the wedding + leave a little bit extra
100-200€ per person is pretty standard
The US was always kind of a dead region for Dota, but it is/was very big in europe (especially Russia), south America, China, southeast Asia
Exploding property process will do that.
Average houses in most cities are at or over 1 million easy.
Plenty of people ride dinosaurs!
Also the world has grown increasingly hostile to young people. There is a constant trend towards there being fewer places for them to hang out, and it being harder to get around.
In the US, often the only option to get around is a car and there really aren’t many options of affordable places to go even if you have one.
This wasn’t as much the case 30 years ago.
I’ve literally never had this work for me, sadly
Yeah that’s basically what I did too.
I just installed dash to dock and made the icons quite large, then rebound a button on my air-mouse to the super key (to bring up the dash). I also installed Just Perfection and used it to hide the top bar unless the dash is open.
90% of the time, I’m just using Firefox, so I don’t need anything too fancy.
I’ve heard that the focus is on the ARM versions (so maybe they are much more developed) but I tried the x86_64 version on my HTPC recently and it was super barebones.
In the end I found Gnome with a few extensions to be a better solution for my needs
Housing shouldn’t be an (in real-terms) appreciating asset. In the long run that just leads to feudalism.
Imagine if everything keeps appreciating for 200 years… now only cyborg Elon musk can afford to buy a house.
I mean, the coasts aren’t really that densely populated. If we build nicer cities there would be plenty of potential space.
Instead we build shitty suburbs and sprawl, which will always lead to awful, expensive cities
They may not have much money left over after downsizing, however. In markets like California the value is almost entirely from the land. The comparative value of the house (even a 5 bed) is comparatively negligible. So a 5 bed on a small plot would cost almost the same as a 1 bed on the same plot. In Silicon Valley it’s really common to just buy a house and knock it down and rebuild, since the cost of building a new house is much less than the cost of the land.
It’s a genuine issue that the liquidity of the real estate market is impacted by this.
Which has the downside that it locks people into their current home because moving would mean losing their favorable rates.
Rising prices are bad for everyone.
The best way to make money is to already have money invested. You take the proceeds from your earlier investments and invest in MORE assets.
In this case it’s real estate.
It’s been years since I had to deal with MATLAB licenses, since basically everything in scientific computing/data science uses Python these days!
