This is brilliant. Definitely going to try this tomorrow.

A good pair of pliers, like the Knipex Cobra.
Alien (1986), not to be confused with the first installment of the series, Alien (1979) or its subsequent third, Alien 1 (1992).
1, the story of King Leonidas’s foolish attempt to take on the entire Persian army by himself (Runtime: 3 minutes).
One Shade of Grey, the story of one man’s quest to change the industry standard Pantone color palette.

Just read both Al Jazeera and The Jerusalem Post and take the average.
temporary detransition
That’s a very strange way to phrase it. I wish we could just recognize that sex and gender can be orthogonal properties of an organism.
The preview image looks like the lady on the right just let loose the most foul stench imaginable and the other two are being forced to deal with it.
TFW you roll a natural 1 on your background.
Does everyone have to like it or do I just get to pick one and everyone has to live with it? If the latter, I might give technocracy a try…
Is that why shitty Chinese microprocessors are all 32-bit?
it is not unaffordable to the 99%
You’re right, and that’s not what’s being claimed. It’s just saying that in 99% OF MARKETS, the median price exceeds the means of the median income. This isn’t really that surprising, actually. In a perfectly balanced market, you’d expect the median price to be exactly equal to the affordability of the median income, so about 50% of markets would be above this value, and 50% would be below it.
It’s probably also true that a far greater percentage of markets are affordable if you look at median income vs 45th percentile home cost, or 55th percentile income vs median home cost.
All this means is that if you make median income, you’ll probably need to buy a house that’s below median price.
You’re right. This is just an example to illustrate the statistics involved. At this point it doesn’t seem like you’re continuing this debate in good faith.
It’s completely different.
Imagine you have 10 people. 1 has $100, 2 have $50, and 7 have $20. Now imagine you have 10 stores selling pants. 1 store has a few pants for $50, and a bunch for $10. 1 store has a few pants for $80 and a bunch for $25. 8 have pants for $30, $25, and $10.
In this scenario, the median wealth is $20, and in all but one store the median price is $25. So in 90% of stores, the median pants cost more than the median amount a person can spend. BUT, all but one still have plenty of pants that cost less than the median. Given this, you wouldn’t say “90% of people can’t afford pants”.
the statement that 99% can’t afford them
That’s not what’s being said. The claim is that the median home price in 99% of regions is unaffordable with median income.
Unaffordable for the average American.
Honestly it’s refreshing to not see the word “slammed” for once…
What is product content?
I had to read most of the article to figure this out, too. It’s referring to the product description and accompanying media. Some sites show you little more than a 64-pixel thumbnail and generic info like “Size: 10, Color: Blue”. Having “more content” means high-quality and accurate product photos, sizing charts, etc. Considering that definition, it seems obvious that buyers are reluctant to pay for something if they’re not even sure what they’re getting.
On days I leave the house, I shower once in the morning. That used to be 5-6 times per week, but since COVID I’ve been working from home, so that number is 1-2. I’ll also shower after swimming or strenuous exercise, though that’s rare for me.
Alright, alright… Apart from sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system, and public health… what have the Romans ever done for us?
I thought Fight Club was a boxing movie and had no interest in seeing it. I only saw it because I tried downloading Jackass on Kazaa and it ended up being Fight Club. The intro had me hooked.
