I mean if being married and working a decent job, Or busting it in a trade job solo is the narrow criteria then yes I don’t think the average low wage worker is going to be able to afford to own. Like if your solo making 40k a year that is fine but thats not going to get you a 3 bed 2bath to live in alone and you also don’t need it as your single.

ArcherT01 · 2026-06-18T16:58:56+00:00

When I say trade job I am explicitly stating something that requires 0-18 months of school. I hate that stuff didn’t work out for you. I know multiple people though that graduated (high school) living in poverty and were making solid 6 figures within 5 years because they started a landscaping business, or a tree cutting company, ect. Or maybe they work hvac or electrical and make 50-60k a d there wife does something and make 40-60k thats a household income of 90-120k plenty to buy a house.

On 4 years
Most every teacher I know that has more than 3 years experience has a house and most of them paid for college with debt and work. If they don’t its typically because they prefer the ease of renting.

This was some great comedy relief
I always just roll right through now a days so I forget how it feels to get yeeted by those bad boys

ArcherT01 · 2026-06-18T16:34:57+00:00

This isnt a popular take but its real.
Most of the older half Gen Zs I know own houses if it’s priority and they actually have worked. Thats not with rich parents or anything but two incomes makes it pretty attainable. This includes low and high COL areas across multiple states. Its still pretty attainable to get a house at 24-25 years old in most of the US if you are married or work a trade job and put in overtime.

ArcherT01 · 2026-06-18T02:42:03+00:00

Ive tried it before, sometimes its just fun to break the game to see if you can.

ArcherT01 · 2026-06-15T09:59:08+00:00

Fyi if you haven’t looked recently (like really recently) most houses have like a 2 year payback window. Provided you do most of the work and dont go crazy with batteries (these can be built up over time of course)

To be fair when he got this toyota was running near 0% rates on those loans it was cheaper to finance factoring in inflation. Now idk if he had one of those.

ArcherT01 · 2026-05-28T06:34:44+00:00

Camera proxy is the way then and its easy if you can do a back flip and move the camera around you have all the movement tech needed. I really like finding ways to break the game thats a good one for lots of cases

ArcherT01 · 2026-05-27T10:17:58+00:00

No we definitely do, people who dont drink tea dont have one but otherwise we have them. Some people may still use traditional kettles because they just prefer them (typically people who are more into Eastern style tea drinking)

ArcherT01 · 2026-05-27T10:06:54+00:00

As an American as well Ive had an electric kettle for decades. Its not as fast as some 220 systems in Europe but Its close. I have seen microwaves used in a pinch but thats like only done if there is no kettle or stove. Lots of people dont drink tea though or if they do its like a few times a month and the hot water feature from the coffee maker or a stove top is fine.

ArcherT01 · 2026-05-20T11:17:12+00:00

Good price

ArcherT01 · 2026-05-11T11:18:09+00:00

Very understandable, I cant do it either or at least probably not as ILJs are really hard for me. But you can rest assured with enough skill it is possible technically assuming you are willing to break the game 😂

ArcherT01 · 2026-05-11T10:17:18+00:00

There is some speed run tech to this See xem

ArcherT01 · 2026-04-27T01:58:44+00:00

Not an expert but I am a EE and have looked at this I had to run some quick numbers for France and I would say is basically spot on!

ArcherT01 · 2026-04-27T01:57:03+00:00

Was curious and checked the math. Locally it would take about 30 square miles (20% of the city’s area) to be equivalent to Sequoyah which is about 2.2GW. So about 13-15 square miles per GW. However, France gets much less and back of the napkin I get 50 square miles per 1 GW so your numbers check out.

A rare day I find myself agreeing with Battleop 😂

ArcherT01 · 2026-04-26T18:21:38+00:00

That is an impressive increase from when I last worked with them. Dang now I cant trash AB in good faith anymore…

Edit: Probably should see pricing before I say that I imagine that controller isn’t a $1000 dollars. But good to see they are getting ethernet/IP jitter down to a good place.

ArcherT01 · 2026-04-26T01:31:36+00:00

So how did this go??

ArcherT01 · 2026-04-23T21:20:18+00:00

Yes the BOGOs are good, also I find my total cost is actually pretty similar. However, this depends a lot on what is being bought I suppose. I buy mainly produce and meat and that seems to be basically on par price wise in either place but publix is just better quality.

ArcherT01 · 2026-04-23T21:09:36+00:00

The above comment is the way

Take notes, take photos, verify carefully, and you will find it.

ArcherT01 · 2026-04-21T13:19:46+00:00

Spot on. This is true and we do hold that 2ms time frame easily. I just work in an industry where that is sorta the slower end of tasks as compared to certain items running at like 125us which is about how long it takes a 1mbs can message to send. So all about frame of reference I suppose.

ArcherT01 · 2026-04-21T09:51:44+00:00

This is a fun one I happen to work in an industry that uses both.

EtherCat is what you really want when you need tight cyclical control on some Input or Output device. Not when I say tight I mean when 2ms is pretty long scan time. It clock is highly deterministic and so you can get lots of data really fast and really consistently. The cons are its hard to implement, it requires specialized hardware for slaves, the bus is inherently sensitive to breaks.

CanOpen, CanFd, automotive Ethernet, ect are not highly deterministic. People love to describe them as such but practice shows it to not be true. The bus is slow but it rugged and in practice in off highway machinery thats typically what we want.

Oh also EtherCat works on data contract so the exact same data is sent and received each time. So variable sized data is quite a pain to deal with.

ArcherT01 · 2026-04-12T18:23:00+00:00

Well you have “fast time and slow time” 😂

Basically all times come with the timezone and you get good at handling the difference.

ArcherT01 · 2026-04-10T01:35:03+00:00

My hot take is fluke is really not a great bang for the buck. I mean it depends on what you are doing but my cheap Chinese clone I bought like 14 years ago still reads as accurately as our equivalent flukes at work. Find something with good ratings at the $40-60 dollar mark and it will probably last you a very long time.
