About 44% of new construction homes over the past 20 years have had 4+ bedrooms. The American Housing Survey uses categories rather than numbers, so 4 and 5+ is the most granular we can get.
It’s a significant problem in the housing market, often called the “missing middle”, where we don’t have enough starter homes for young/new buyers to get on the housing ladder. We are only building large homes used by families who already have a lot of equity
That movie is my white whale. I have tried to watch it a dozen times and I’ve never finished it. Not for lack of interest or trying. Just can’t do it
OPEC+ already announced an increase in production to keep prices down.
Close of Friday was $60/barrel. Futures markets have them at $69 late on Sunday.
I doubt we’ll see anything in the $100 range. Too much cheap shale oil from the US and heavy, dirty crude from Venezuela having a market in the gulf should absorb major supply side shocks
Edit 00:04 UTC
Early market moves in East Asian are seeing +8% from Friday’s close at $72 and $79 (different oil grades). But this might be overreaction in the east as we wait to see what happens when the Middle East wakes up. It’s still 3AM in Riyadh, so it’s slow news coming out of Saudi Arabia
Heh I meant coffee or tea
The more I travel (37 countries on four continents) the more I realize everyone is the same. For me, it’s like a mini-version of the overview effect.
Everyone has a hand wrap (pita, taco, wrap, sandwich).
Everyone has their customs that bleed into public life (religious, secular, religious-cum-secular)
Everyone has to take care of children
Everyone has a grocery store
Everyone likes to drink a hot liquid out of a mug. Everyone likes to drink a cold liquid out of a glass
Everyone has their pockets of disengaged youth who lash out at society, “normalcy” and the status quo
it’s not a weird, scary world. We are all people. We all live here. The content of my pita might be different from what’s in your taco, but it’s basically the same thing. The difference between my town and one a few kilometers away is not that much larger than one on the other side of the world. We are all people living our lives.
Similar to how the US started enforcing fines for late arrivals of airplanes. So the airlines just extended the “duration” of their flights to include the expected delays and now they’re “99.9% on time”. You can see this in action when the pilot says “well we’re waiting for something before we leave. It’ll be another 15 minutes but we’ll still get you there on time.”
One dimension:
Willingness to share Liberties with other people
Far Right = Ayn Rand
Far Left = some guy who just wants to live in a van down by the river and smoke weed all day
You don’t wear an undershirt with your tees?
DVD Studio Pro was legit.
I did the full Final Cut —> Compressor + Motion for menu animations —> DVD Studio Pro then burned a stack of discs and applied labels
Completely unnecessary, but fun
Sorry, swipe down to exit is the gesture that doesn’t work in the media viewer. Double tap does zoom properly
These are all P0 😉
These are rather nitpicky items. I use Blorp every day and like it more than Voyager, Arctic and Mlem
Correct. British English typically calls it a full stop
How much did a company spend to product the widget?
How much is the widget worth?
The difference of those two is productivity
In and out. A lot.
A linear story is split in two parts.
The black and white sections explain Leonard’s backstory and show that he’s willing to lie to himself to be happy just like his wife was willing to lie to him because she was unhappy.
The color section is revealing the consequences of Teddy using Leonard, but also Leonard’s willingness to lie to himself.
The special edition DVD had it recut in a linear fashion. It works both ways… linear is a standard detective story without much depth. Recut, it’s a compelling story about Truth and consequences
Proprietary standard that’s worse than modern DisplayPort specs. Adds cost without adding features.
