It's often cheaper to fly to another country, or even just go without insurance, and yet we're paying astronomical rates for insurance. And there's any confusion why people are tired of the bullshit?

The RAM shortage is going to make them a lot of money. Aside from the price hike now, when RAM becomes sane again they can release 16GB versions of the same cards so they don't even have to come up with new chips.

Yep, Flock is only one aspect of it too.

Id guess it happened about the same time the big ass plate was installed.

She can't run as a democrat, and running as an independent would just make her and the democrat lose.

I was gonna say, I can't afford cocaine, so I don't think I could handle all that.

Is that Sea Lion lunch?

[-] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Yup, the zoning changes plus a lot of similar factors since the 1980s crippled home building every recession, and never recovered it each time.

Not often enough, military bases are STD playgrounds.

It's a supply demand chart, they do makes sense, but usually require a bit of explaining to really understand.

The short answer though is that population growth has outstripped housing growth since Reagan, limiting supply. While interest rates since Reagan have increased demand. Lots of reasons why, on both sides, end result is a deep hole of expensive housing, and a lot of bad ways to fix it.

Just wondering if anyone has experience with pouring aluminum or copper on their pottery? We've done melts with glass, but getting ready to try aluminum, and maybe copper if that works out.

WASHINGTON, Feb 3 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday ordering the creation of a sovereign wealth fund within the next year, saying it could potentially buy the short video app TikTok. Trump offered little in the way of detail and it was unclear how such a wealth fund would work. Typically such funds rely on a country's budget surplus to make investments, but the U.S. operates at a deficit. Its creation also would likely require approval from Congress.

Circular saw advice (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 years ago by Skyrmir@lemmy.world to c/tools@lemmy.world

About to be in the market for a new circular saw, just looking for the typical 7.25 blade saw. One thing that has constantly bothered me though is the depth adjustment. Every saw I've ever had used a flip lever on a nut in the back, and that's always been the point of failure. They slip, break, seize or otherwise fail first before anything else on the saw. And it's literally the only setting on a saw that i ever touch beyond changing blades.

So what brand has a reliable depth adjustment?

Saw a post mentioning an old Scottish gentleman that had saved a bottle of whiskey to drink the day Margaret Thatcher died. And I'm quite sure he enjoyed the drink.

So my question to the community, what's the best drink for the day any major politician finally kicks the bucket? Should it be your own favorite spirit, or something to denote the character, and vitriol, of the deceased? Something sweet to enjoy the day, or harsh to remember the bitterness of their character?

I'm trying to plan a shelf for my dining room. Each bottle labeled for who they're waiting for.
