    Are you still playing around with it 2 years on? I think ive found enough use cases for wanting one: bike accessories, coffee accessories, toys for my kiddo, various organizers for the office and around the house like screwdriver holders. Also found a product/company I want to support. Prusa Research started by 1 young guy out of Prague, grew enough to verticalize the whole supply chain, makes everything in house, all products are modular, scaleable, open-source, etc. Can get a Mini+ kit for around 500.
  10. Academy sucks ass and never has anything I need. I leave disappointed 100% of the time. Fishing stuff? Nope. Kids soccer cleats? nope. Camping gear? nope. Real men prefer Dick’s
  11. It never sat right with me….that Harold looked like an extra tall 13 year old girl
  12. That's using a single-sided view of the market. But it takes 2 sides to make a market. The marginal new participants are shopping entry level houses. The larger houses are discretionary. IF the larger houses become more unaffordable, lower demand will reduce its price. New buyers still want want your entry level house, AND its existing occupants want to stay in place (because they cant afford the larger one), so it will command higher relative value. "Salary increases have not kept up with inflation" is simply untrue. Family house ownership rate is the same it has been for decades. House ownership rate by age bracket is the same as it has always been. Latest Housing Affordability Index is above 100. 100 = median family earns enough for a mortgage on a median home. If you have more children, yes you have to feed and clothe them. Is that somehow a uniquely unsolvable problem now compared to any time and place in history. In the past, were larger houses discounted for families and children given free food vouchers or something?
  13. Are all the reddit volunteer moderators going to quit once they learn that the site's CEO and COO earned a combined 300 million dollars last year?
  14. you know day 1 is going to look like the nubian version of this:
  15. i am inclined real spies look and work like this. this transcript of an air force lt colonel getting catfished by someone posing as a honeypot
  16. Love something as much as the EU loves to regulate. Thats why its 30 countries and 500 million people has so many innovative tech companies such as Spotify, Adyen, Nokia, and….uhh…that finnish Angry Birds one
  17. None of that “FRED” fucking bullllshit is going to convince me that cost of groceries isnt out of control until its compared against the bottom earners of people working in diners and coffee shops using a superior statistical measure like median. Rigor! Only on mondays.
  18. Top 4 most popular sport in America. Oldest sport league in the country. Hey, what size should we make the playing field? Whatever the fuck you want!!! (college field, but same lack of regulation)
  19. We all know averages are fake news because theyre skewed by all those high earners in fabrication and warehousing and shipping; and the upper crust of the slice of people in below-supervisory roles, like assistants to the regional manager. Theres a real hiearchy down there too!
  20. Fellas, dont let the federal reserve, the census office, the bls, or the cbo trick you with numbers and lines. Its the weaboo cisco technician and his gut feelings that really has a pulse on the national economy.
  21. I think there's unexplored, untapped potential in the government identifying the most difficult problems to solve... and then deploying a squadron of ex- meter maids on those jobs.
  22. well, the thing is, fatty was right. maybe not in the percentages, but the fact that the cost of eating out (black) matched wages (dashed red)-- specifically wages for individual, non-supervisory employees in mostly very blue collar jobs. the other lines are cost of food at home, and blended total food spend. you didnt specify a timeframe but mentioned "previous twenty years" so i rounded up to a nice 2000 start date. switching gears to talks of the "middle class stagnation/shrinking", these might rile people up a bit: this is from the Congressional Budget Office's late 2023 publication of Distribution of Household Income, pages 26 and 28 and then this one...if you consider 20-80th income as middle class, its size has been constant. in fact if you segregate the middle three quintiles as working class (20-40), middle class (40-60), and upper middle (60-80), itll show the "middle" did shrink because they promoted upwards into the upper middle!
