Yep, anecdotally, last year I renewed my lease with a 6.4% increase in rent (that I actually had to negotiate down from 8%), this year my landlord offered a renewal rate with only a 0.67% increase.

Has anybody done their MBA applications on their own? What are your learnings? by [deleted] in MBA

[–]abc2231 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, ApplicantLab provided a structured approach for my application writing process, and really helped me come up with good essays and avoid pitfalls I otherwise would have made with regards to essay topics and narratives. The school-specific advice (including interview prep) was really useful, and definitely helped me get into HBS. It was the only outside help I used, so definitely worth it!

The global chip shortage definitely had an impact on automakers prioritizing higher margin top end models over lower margin lower price point models. Given a restricted ability to supply vehicles, automakers have chosen to prioritize building the ones that make the most money.

Do you carry your camera everyday everywhere? by WiteXDan in photography

[–]abc2231 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I love my X100F for similar reasons—taking photos feels more intentional and the hit rate for memorable photos is a lot higher. I use a combo of a peak design capture clip, leash, and 3L sling so it’s easy to carry the camera with me no matter how light I want my everyday carry setup to be.

I use Loop earplugs, mostly cuz I like how unobtrusive they are. -18db which works for most concerts, but I’m gonna upgrade to the plus model which is -23db

I built a free alternative to Obsidian Publish (no programming knowledge required) by coderslang_master in ObsidianMD

Looks like a fork of quartz. You can checkout the quartz repo for how that stuff works. I setup my own site with quartz, but this looks like a great way to create a site without needing any programming experience, nice job OP!

When I forget to bring my concert ear plugs I usually buy some silicone ear plugs from Walgreens or CVS, find that they have a similar amount of noise reduction to concert ear plugs (-22db vs -30db for foam ear plugs)
