  • You are so fuckin high on the anti Elon hivemind smoke it’s clouding your ability to quantify how much money he has and the fact that X is now an entirely private company. You think he is doing all the Trump shit for a bail out from a government who, has only issued a bailout that applied to privately held companies once in its almlst 250 year existence?

    Homie, I think he’s an idiot as much as the next but let’s come down from mars and back to reality. Then we will circle back and cover how much money 250 billion dollars is and how the entire presence of Twitter could leave, bankruptcy the company and still be a massive tax write off without any favorable treatment from DC beyond what perks he already qualifies for by being of the .000000001% tax backracket minority.

    It’s losing money at an insane rate and that’s with a mega election year propping it up.

    We won’t even make a stink about your typo that twitter’s advertisement revenue stream as being driven by the same mechanisms used to figure out a YouTube influencer’s advertivment revenue stream. We will call it an autocorrect oversight that your comment accidentally says the election attention and resulting increase of user activity affect how much companies pay twitter for its advertising spots and not the number of likes or subscriptions or user visits because they would be insane to agree to terms where the amount they’re invoiced is dependent on statistics that can’t decipher between bot accounts and active user accounts.

    If ya made it to the end of this and your take away is that I’m a Elon stan, re-read it or tell me why because I cognizantly tried to make sure none of my over the top satirical statements made in this reply would tip a hat or give any slight implications that would credit Elon for being a shrewd or competent business owner. I’m just sick of the fuck Elon hivemind ignoring very objective facts about how shit works in lazy replies only intended to get their shot in at beating the dead horse named Elon’s and Idiot.


  • I’ll have to look it up to he sure but I wanna say millenials were the largest population increase for a generation since the boomers. Which would make up the really close to the entire existence of the eealestate market as we know it. Wanna say 1930’s the new deal created the foundation of the modern mortgage loan. Either way, the answer is no it does not go up for every generational transition.

    It’s actually only the second time it has and will go up by the time gen z cycles to home buying in a span longer than 150 years.

    I wanna say you were thinking of this in terms of total population growth increasing but it really is more of a combo between birth rate and poulation percent change, except instead of year over year it is 15 year wondow over 15 year window or however long each generational span is.





  • Fuck that’s amazing information. I had no idea 3d printers were at that level to hold that tight of tolerances. Enough for me to look into making a purchasing proposal for a desktop 3d printer to make gages for all the warehouse pickers and packers to keep on hand for checking every order before it’s shipped. We’ve already batted the idea of getting one to use for machine shop maintenance and repairs but the roi saving needed way too much use than avg number of repairs needed per year. Add this to those numbers tho and they would more than balance those scales to the black. Plus most of the rma cost tracking we do is projected at best so I could give the picker with the most rma’s a set of gages I’ll make on the mill and lathe after work. Show a month or so of zero mistake picking and bam pile on an absurd amount of operating cost savings as rma reduction potential and well be printing in no time. Really, awesome shit. Thank you.

    What’s the deviation tolerances of the actual hole sizes? I’m American so I’ve only machined using inches or converting metric to inches. So are we talking +/-.005 or +/-.0005? Decided to make gages for hydraulic tube sizes for real time quality assurance from our picking and packing department to use. Ended up going with counter sinking pins for carpentry but never found a female gauge option for the male tube connections. Wasn’t important enough to spend any more time or money on. That’s also why I said fuck the machining gage pins, they’re expensive as fuck. What you made tho is exactly what i was looking for.







  • Cheers to a casual as fuck conversation 🍻

    Edit: fuck itd be so cool if there was a way to only allow voting to reference how casual you thought a comment thread was and keeping a ranking of the chillest of the chillest casual conversations lol if not voting then maybe a button similar to reddit’s gold used to be where you awarded the casual-est conversations and have the ranking based on the amount of casuawards you were given🤔


  • Theyre government ran programs. People expect them to operate with the efficiency of any normal business. The problem is businesses operating to the rules of a “free” market are driven by entirely different rules than the ones driving a government ran program.

    In the government, program funding is dictated by the people in office and their political alignments. First looking at a scenario where the people in office are in support of a program the following outcomes usually happen: 1. Program is successful resulting in stagnant budget growth when times are good and budget cuts when times are bad. 2. Program is unsuccessful resulting in the people in office responsible for the program being unable to call the failing program a failure so they advocate for increasing the budget. Every raise and tier of compensation to the employees is decided in DC and eliminates all shreds of performance or tenure based raises. Employees working for government programs have absolutely no reason to want to excel at their job.

    The concept is completely futile. Inprovments only come when enough people get so sick and tired of a program’s incompetencies that people protest or the media catches wind to make it a talking point important enough to affect elections.

    It’s the foundation to Marge Simpson’s sisters on the Simpson’s and how they are shown working at the DMV. Incase you needed supporting citation for my opinion.

    I’m also not commenting as any advocate for either political side nor am I implying “there’s no difference between the right and left.” I’m simply saying the foundation that government programs must adhere to will never produce an efficient operating environment for any program to succeed under.
