Like, party politics and all, but getting rid of a mess of tax loop holes and means tested programs for a nationwide UBI for kids that would basically be impossible to ever get rid of would be an actual material good for people. Funny how it wasn't a democrat bill initiative.

I think the problem is more the top 5%ish more than the .001%. that top 5 used to compete with each other via conspicuous consumption, but now they just compete on portfolio numbers.

Not a Children posted:These valves/pipes have probably been slowly flexed by temp gradients along their microfractures for decades, a rapid temp shift like this on broken-in equipment like that is like the hulk ripping a well-worn phone book in half nah, even brand new valves will sheer like that as the water freezes, and expands along the pipe runs from both side of the valve. All that pressure builds and the brittle cast iron fittings are the first to give way. I get to see maybe one or two of these a year in person. Seeing four in a single picture, whoo boy is Texas gonna be in trouble for a good while.

MEGA THREAD RETARD posted:It appears that the fed will be having difficulties with inflation catching up to its naked printing before this COVID drag is resolved. It's starting in commodities and supply chain disruptions, but it will crawl up the food chain, as it already has with simple chip manufacturing. When that happens, it may have no other choice but to ease up on its historic measures, or else find the classic but generationally unknown situation of inflation caused by too much money chasing too few goods. This will disrupt homebuying, if it happens. It could be pretty disastrous. i haven’t been following this thread for a bit, so not sure if its been talked about, but in construction we are seeing steel and plastic products becoming scarce with prices rapidly moving. A local distributor just dropped their 30 day price quote holds down to 5 days which hasnt happened in like over a decade. One of my suppliers was trying to get some galvanized steel and it took like 5 weeks to get 3000’ which should normally be like a week turnaround.

Got a price increase notice from a third mfg stating prices going up anywhere from 12% to 25% which is hilariously lol since generally single date price increases over the last decade have been 3-4%.

my wife and i used to cook every day. we were very healthy. then came toddlers, then dual jobs to afford a life for the kids, and then came the pandemic. All those stressors ruined our diet. we can maybe cook real food once a week. the rest of the week is just rotating through basic frozen foods we know the kids will eat. thank god for frozen green peas in 5lb bags from costco, pretty much the only healthy thing we get regularly. there is just no time in the day to give real cooking a chance. plus toddlers basically only eat 5 foods it seems. sucks.

Peloton is also saying the device is perfectly safe as long as the owner follows the safety instructions which basically boils down to “make sure kids can never get close to the device” which lol anyone with kids know that’s impossible. CPSC is telling people that if they are going to keep the device it should be in a locked room.

Hell, a good old fashioned CO2 type would have been miles better than loving water portables are worthless against a internal li-ion fire. useful if it’s ancillary components burning and you can get them put out before thermal runaway kicks off, but thats only gonna be likely if the driver or a passerby has one available. by the time the FD gets there it’ll probably be way to late for that.

I like the 5-over-1s, they're the only way we're going to get mid-rise in the USA. Same, at least 5-1s are getting built regularly in small cities/large towns. Better than nothing getting built at all. And getting 5 levels of occupancy is better than the standard 3 from the traditional building style.
