@deadalnix I can give you the answer to question #2, but nobody is going to like it.

@VladTheInflator If we are oversupplied on mid-luxury homes and undersupplied in starter homes, then mid-luxury homes will become the new starter homes.

The math demands this outcome.

Simple as.

@esrtweet @blog_supplement Not as high an IQ as yours but high enough for to be useful. The amount of useful code I've committed this year easily eclipses any year prior.

Can you create slop with them? Of course. And many do.

The IQ is how you get them to produce something that isn't slop.

@grayzoneintel It's private equity. They own both companies and are cross selling their products.

@LundukeJournal The D programming language has been under attack using the same tactics Pinchart has been promoting. They also lost the opening battle as @WalterBright declared that LLMs would be allowed. But there is clearly something shadowy organizing this, and it's has a strong CCP flavor.

@AllanPaxton5 @disparutoo It takes a village to sodomize the corpses of multiple franchises at the same time.

@Nerdrotics I watched SG-1 religiously during it's original broadcast run.

I refuse to give this excrement a moment of time.

@profstonge That was a very long-winded way of saying that Boomers are terrible at math.

Which is an ontologically true statement.

[EllipticBit @EllipticBitOpts]

It's an empty threat. Even if the order is given, it'll never reach the missile forces. The generals who'd have to relay it will ... relieve Putin of his mortal concerns. Their children all live in the target zones.

Furthermore, there are very real questions about the readiness of those weapons. In the west, we tend to assume that Russia operates like we do, with lavish maintenance programs for those systems. The reality is that the chemicals required for said maintenance fetch hefty premiums on the black market.

Do you remember a few years ago when it was reported that a large percentage of China's missiles were discovered to have been fueled with water? Yea, Russia is more corrupt than that. And Russia has been forced to suspend Sarmat-2 development because of a catastrophic explosion that turned the entire test site into a crater.

The only thing worse than a missile strike is a missile strike that leaves your enemy wounded but intact. Because one thing we do know is that, when western missiles fly in retaliation, they will all reach their targets. And the Russian Generals who sold off said chemicals know it too.

It'd be a good way to die for nothing.

@Cernovich I did this math on myself once. It was 40%. But I make well above median and save. The amount of hidden taxes we pay is stupifying.

[EllipticBit @EllipticBitOpts]

@Apartheid_Musk @nickgerli1 Statistically, 70% of heirs will sell. The reason for this is often the will itself. Most wills specify an even split of assets between children. Furthermore, most heirs already own and don't need it. Thus, the house must be sold. These are time, not price, sensitive sellers.

@MCCCANM This very thing happened to me today on an RNAV. Controller descended me to the FAF then pointed me right at it.

I'll be honest, I didn't catch on fast enough.

Always learning something new.

[EllipticBit @EllipticBitOpts]

@profstonge And that's why everybody younger than 45 wants to burn the place to the ground.

They have no piece of the system. Why would they care if it's turned into ash.

[EllipticBit @EllipticBitOpts]

@Devon_Eriksen_ Well, they hate the constraints that the Constitution places on their power, so naturally they would deny the existence of any moral foundation for the Constitution. Such denial is an absolute prerequisite of their ideology.

[EllipticBit @EllipticBitOpts]

@MCCCANM I wear my Lightspeed Sierra's when I'm riding in the back of your bus.

Incidentally, I arrive at my destination better rested than before I started doing that.

Noise matters folks. Take care of your hearing.

[EllipticBit @EllipticBitOpts]

@MCCCANM Gotta get the clickthrough rates up by posting <scary headline> that ties back to <prior scary story>.

In this case it looks like they're trying to milk MCAS for clicks.

Journalists are a contemptibly uninformed lot.

[EllipticBit @EllipticBitOpts]

@We_Are_Toasted @esrtweet So your argument is that its correct "Because the Government says so."

The economy does not care what definition the Government prefers.

And what will really blow your mind is that retirements have the same economic effect as layoffs. Both stop discretionary spending.

[EllipticBit @EllipticBitOpts]

@We_Are_Toasted @esrtweet I strongly advise you re-read the word "Ratio". The ratio accounts for population increases.

Overall employment is falling as a percentage of total population. Thus, unemployment is rising.

U3 (Headline) only measures a subset of the unemployed population. That subset is flat.

[EllipticBit @EllipticBitOpts]

@We_Are_Toasted @esrtweet Then use the Employment Population Ratio. Either way they both show the same thing. Total Unemployment is rising despite a flat U3.
