Nothing. It’s not our individual fault. It’s going to keep going no matter what you or I do (short of terrorism) until the whole thing crashes down around us.

I saw a movie that had the actress that played Rita Repulsa in it as the mail order bride of a random side character who would occasionally sneak away to the bar across the street from their house and shoot ping pong balls out of her pussy.

It’s not really relevant to this conversation, but every single time Rita Repulsa is mentioned in some thread somewhere, I always go back to seeing the ping-pong balls flying from between her legs.

I think it was the movie about drag queens going across Australia.

Yeah, apparently, when they are using this real page software, they are able to figure out how much they can charge for an apartment and how many apartments they can leave vacant before dropping their prices, and as long as the software says they’ll make more money doing something one way, then that’s what they’re going to do.

Are you participating in the same thread that I am?

I literally said that landlords are using software to set the prices with software in collaboration with other landlords.

I also said there are lawsuits open about this action.

I was then told not to be a devil’s advocate, and my response was, I am not advocating for anything.

Now you say that I am making excuses?

What logic train are you guys all on?

Because I am not on the same logic train as you.

Ihave not supported anything, or advocated for anything, or excused anything and yet you seem to have convinced yourself that I have, and I don’t know where it’s coming from.

Like if I’m fucking up fine, you know, downvote me. If I’m saying something that’s controversial, fine, downvote me. But nothing I have said should be considered a fuck-up or controversial. So I don’t know why people are against me saying it.

I’m literally not advocating for anything. I’m sharing knowledge and allowing others to come to their own conclusions.

I’m not in support of this practice, I’m just sharing the info.

Don’t shoot the messenger my dude

Sorry, that’s actually already factored into the cost of the rent.

The real reason why so many properties are vacant is that even though landlords know they could fill the vacant apartments by lowering the rent, there are companies that make money by telling landlords how much to set the rent for, even if they keep the apartments vacant. showing that they will make more money with less overhead by doing so, so that the decrease in hassle will justify the decrease in profit.

There are a couple of various lawsuits and actions that are going on about these companies right now, and we have yet to see how it’s going to play out. But, the cat is out of the bag, the genie is out of the bottle, the likelihood of rents returning back to something that people can afford with minimum wage income any time soon is pretty low.

I feel like even if Willie Nelson and Snoop Dogg worked together on it, they would have a tough time going through 50 pounds of weed in a couple months.

Like even if they’re crazy and they each go through an ounce a day, that’s a little less than a pound every two weeks, Which would mean that this is at least a two-year supply of weed for both Willie Nelson and Snoop Dogg at the same time.

I can see that my reply was not taken very well, but I still stand behind it, even if it’s offensive to people, because I was raised by a parent that bought me toys in order to keep me occupied to prevent themselves from having to put any effort in to raising me

I carry a bit of a grudge about that, and that’s why my response was offensively toned, Because I know that if it happened to me, then it’s going to happen to other people.

If you were a better parent than my parents were, then my rant doesn’t apply to you, and good for you, and I’m happy that your children have such a good parent to raise them.

I was about to say, like, the coloring of the shirt made it look like she was wearing a bra, which made the messaging about going braless kind of seem… stupid?

The thing is, is they’re always going to have a dedicated fanbase of parents who want to buy shit for their kids to keep them occupied for several hours a day so that they don’t have to participate in their children’s lives in any meaningful way.

Capacitors can be used to remove ripple from a DC current. Ripple is basically alternating current that is running along a DC current. So, attenuation, I believe, is the correct terminology.

They generally don’t completely get rid of AC, and they don’t perfectly filter it out unless they are perfectly matched for the AC, and even then, I don’t know of any capacitors that are used in lieu of a full-bridge rectifier or half-bridge rectifier to convert AC to DC.

I could very well be wrong. I am far from an electronics expert, But this is what my understanding tells me.

And when they are used for air-conditioning units, they are typically boost capacitors, which means they store up a nice amount of juice for when the compressor powers on and needs a sudden rush of energy, but that’s only a very small amount, like you couldn’t crank a car with the amount of energy in these capacitors.

Apparently, in the Lakota tradition, it’s pretty common for everybody to stay asleep in the funeral home on the night before the funeral.

It’s kind of like a mixer for the recently departed.

I bet it’s kind of going off of the original SI representation where, like, a foot was the length of the king’s foot, and that was what they had to measure against to make sure everything was accurate.

The kilogram is just a thousand grams, so if they’re tied together, they would still be tied together.

Household current pumped through a full bridge rectifier, that is.

Capacitors don’t seem to do very much with AC Other than attenuate it a bit

I want wealth because I lack self love and wish I had enough money to buy it

Kind of funny to think about if Jesus learned English through prayers, so he assumes that “Please let me win the lottery” translates to, “Hi, how are you doing?”

The ruling class of America have gone so far past hubris they are touching on surquedry.

Would be a shame if some sort of Greek tragedy would unfold.
