Outside of all the major metropolitan areas, yes. I managed to get a house a few years back at $22 an hour. It’s small and a townhouse, but it’s mine.
I did the math to afford that home today taking into account increased value and interest rates it would take $30 an hour. It’s only been 5 years.
Even after a promotion and raises I still don’t make $30 an hour.

- Comment on How soon do you get there? 3 days ago:
Medium sized airports are the problem. Airports for big cities can handle tons of people. But you have an event in a mis-size city and it’s a disaster.

True, still they are 99.8% to 99.9% effective depending on the kind. Insane odds, since it was so close to insertion there must have been some kind of mistake during insertion

Wow she’s the .1% of the .1%. When it does fail the vast majority of pregnancies are non-viable ectopic. So your nephew really beat the odds
- Comment on Desk jobs 1 week ago:
I’m a field scientist and it’s the perfect job. It’s a mix of desk and fieldwork. Sure injuries can happen out in the field, but I’ve never seen anything too gruesome. Just cuts, scrapes, and bumps for the most part.
It’s pretty nice that some days I get to go be in the woods doing my job

I once saw a guy eat an entire pound of ground beef. Just some pan fried ground beef with salt and pepper. Nothing else, just pure boy kibble
- Comment on Coaxed into inhumane cosmetic dog decisions 3 weeks ago:
These dogs weren’t running factories they were chasing vermin and helping in hunting. The wild animal will fight, but both jobs were necessary for survival and impossible to redesign at the time.
But we have invented new ways meaning that dogs are no longer required for these jobs. This should have been when docking was abandoned
- Comment on Heat pumps and insulation would cut UK living costs more than new oilfields, study suggests 3 weeks ago:
My local city in the US had sent people to do energy audits and gave a slight discount on the next month’s electric bill if you let them in.
They would tell you where you needed more insulation and sealing. The city offered rebates for various types of insulation and energy related overhaul.
The city owned the local utility and they determined it was way cheaper to help reduce energy consumption than to scale up production
- Comment on Coaxed into inhumane cosmetic dog decisions 3 weeks ago:
Idk if this makes it any better but docking started as a practice for dogs doing certain jobs to help avoid injury.
Basically tail injuries were common and a clean removal was overall actually better. Then it slowly became something done for no purpose other than cosmetic which is disgusted. Honestly we shouldn’t even have working dogs anymore either, but at least its origins made sense at the time

- Comment on Paris, France 3 weeks ago:
I mean something can be not safe and based at the same time. Revolution is often not safe, doesn’t mean it’s not worthwhile
- Comment on The Anonborn gets recruited 3 weeks ago:
I’d argue it means the opposite.
In terms of Skyrim though the nords have been there for about 4,000 years.
I’d say if you’re the first people there congrats you’re that Natives. If you’ve replaced/eliminated the original population and lived there at least 1,000 years congrats you’re the natives.
Honestly the timing is arbitrary, I pick 1,000 because in modern day it’s nearly impossible to track back descent that far. Very very few people can. In a society like Skyrim I’d argue it’s after the last person that remembers that last person that moved there. About 6 generations or so
- Comment on The Anonborn gets recruited 4 weeks ago:
I mean it’s getting a bit loose with the term native. The Nords have been there a long fucking time.
Humans on Earth are only native to Africa, but unique cultures have evolved elsewhere
- Comment on Wealth inequality will destroy America. 4 weeks ago:
I’m sorry where do you think profit comes from? It’s not grown on profit trees, it’s baked into the price. Higher markup, high price, higher profit.
Non sequitur my ass
- Comment on Wealth inequality will destroy America. 4 weeks ago:
Not buying the very last link in the chain doesn’t matter.
It absolutely does. You’re cutting out the part with highest markup. Skipping an entire manufacturing process.
You can get the ingredients for a fraction of the cost compared to a finished product.
