Hand sanitizer frequently works too.

And yet new starts are down, and developers are laying people off.

We will not build ourselves out of this problem. Our system is not interested in supplying enough houses to drive down prices.

We have to drive them down a different way.

Depends on what you mean by devices.

My wife and I have two vehicles, this has been important when one failed for a bit.

Theres enough computers and cellphones in my home to restart civilization after a collapse.

I can't think of any electronic device I couldn't be without for at least a few days without serious issues.

The most critical thing that could go out is the power, and I have little control over that but at least my local power company is amazing at restoring service around here. We've never been out for more than 24 hours in the last decade.

They do exist, google floating pool filters/chlorinators.

Well that's going to be a bitch for anyone living or working there. IT system for addresses are not going to handle that for the most part, especially for anything not based in Canada.

There's no way it's viable for that fare. It will fail just like most of the other attempts at convenience ferries around here.

This isn't even Conservatives, it's the alt-right.

Some of them need to be publicly humiliated, rather than simply ignored.

The US needs to be rebooted at this point, it's not working properly for the citizens anymore.

Humanity is not as refined as people pretend they are. At the end of the day, a large majority of what we do is directly or indirectly about getting laid.

Men workout to make themselves more attractive. They take jobs that pay well to make themselves more attractive, they go to schools to get better jobs to make themselves more attractive.

Women spend time on fitness, makeup, fashion, and education to try to find a better partner.

It's not all about sex, but a lot of it is. It's biologically wired into us so we reproduce.

They are attacking Israel all the time, who do you think is funding Hamas?

No it isn't. Breast enhancement is the single most common cosmetic surgery performed in the US.

Where the fuck did you get 197 million?

There aren't even that many women in the US, let alone those of the right age groups.

Its still a fraction of a percentage, but thats only in a single year of surgeries, and your 2024 number is lower than the number per year I linked in the study.

The total percentage of adult women who've had breast enhancement is more than 2% and rising.

 

Unfortunately, it looks like he's going to elected in a couple years. I just hope people remember after a term of the Conservatives cutting important environmental policies like the carbon tax, that they will have failed to make like more affordable AND fucked up the environment more.

The conservative parties that won in the UK didn't manage to make things more affordable, the conservative party that won in Australia didn't manage it either, no party anywhere has managed it.

This crisis isn't caused by local government zoning policies, approval red tape, or anything else that the parties are talking about. It's caused by landowners (including people who own only one property) using a home as an investment.

You cannot have homes appreciate in value faster than inflation (investments) and also have affordable housing. It's impossible. That's literally just a pyramid scheme.

Until the government starts implementing policies that start reducing existing home prices, this will not be fixed. Building more units doesn't do this unless you build impossibly (literally impossible) large numbers.

So stop voting with your emotions and vote with your brain.

 

In case anyone was wondering what happened at the grocery stores over the last couple days.

 

I love Mattias Krantz and his wacky music projects.

 

Because reasons?

 

Somewhat clickbait title, it went from 80% to 89% of new unit starts for this one month period compared to last year.

Apartment units have been the majority of new units for more than a decade now.

 

More technical issues. The ferries are starting to become a real issue here on the island.

 

What a lady she was, helping shift all of us forward in a normally taboo subject.
