Samsung had a remote that did this, actually.

For like 4 people, at most.

AOC backed an idea to build homes and the ln hand over ownership to tenant cooperatives or non-profit orgs. Seemed like a decent idea on the surface.

Mortgage rates coming down is not the answer. It’ll only drive up demand while supply stays the same. There is a major need for more supply. People will reply with the number of vacant units, but vacancy is a broad measure that ignores things like a house currently being sold and going through the closing process.

The country, as a whole, needs something like 6.5 million more housing units to meet demand at which point prices would come down.

It’s unfortunately not going to happen without government (local or federal) intervention.

This Freakonomics episode focuses more on rentals but the basic concepts are the same:

I once had a co-worker like this named Andrew. One morning, while he scrambled to fill any moments of silence, I told him “Andrew, silence is ok sometimes” and went back to my work. He was significantly less annoying to work with afterwards.

I probably came off as a bit of a dick, though it wasn’t my intention.

I hate how much I laughed at this. I’m never growing up.

I have the same issue. Brought it in and they cleaned the heck out of it. It’s better feeling though not perfect. I’ll bring it in under warranty another time because they said the process to replace the port takes like two hours and I didn’t have that time when I went in.

I thought you need $401k to retire.

At first I was like “this shit makes no sense and isn’t funny”

Then I got it and was proud of myself like I had actually accomplished something.

Take your fucking upvote and get out of here.

Is there something I’m missing? It wasn’t clear to me that he doesn’t have a mask or can’t get one.

They don’t bend without pressure being applied. If you don’t have AppleCare+, you’re probably going to be beat.

Fuuuuck it’s addictive. Love that I get it with Apple Arcade.

Thanks for sharing. Glad you’re happy.

Honest question:

How do you make money for things like food, automobile costs, and your connected device (assuming phone)? I’m not trying to make a broader point. I am genuinely curious.

I love how fast this is happening.

It’s amazing how bad that is.

That’s what I figured they’d jump to. It matches their branding focused and fixes the problem with their premium cases.

I mean I’m sure your situation sucks, but I can’t believe this could be even mildly infuriating. Should they have a space screen saver? Should they have images that remind people how fucked they might be? It’s cheesy shit, sure, but sheesh.

Bro…what?
