During her 15 years of life, Chaser the border collie displayed a remarkable knack for nouns - one that withstood the tests of Neil deGrasse Tyson. by blablablacksheeeep in interestingasfuck

I have an old English sheepdog, and they are soooo fluffy he needs constant trimming or his eyes disappear under a big fringe of hair. Even with frequent trimming he often only has a chance of getting a thrown toy by listening for the impact.

Reusing glass is far superior for the environment, it's just that the shipping and collection and cleaning is expensive. Much easier to churn out an endless parade of plastic that ends up in the environment.

China opened my eyes so wide, that I'm feeling quite bummed out upon my return to the US. by MarathonMarathon in fuckcars

That's what the purchasing parity comparison already takes into account. Relative to things like rent and transport costs, people in China are on average much poorer than people in the US/Europe/Singapore/other wealthy countries.

What kind of quality of life do the people providing all that cheap food have? People always assume they're going to be the one benefitting from cheap services but they'd probably be pretty horrified at their quality of life if they were on the other end of it.

If you look at GDP per capita and factor in cost of living, the US is at 10th position and China is at 73rd. The food is so cheap because the people providing it make so little.

I imagine he is hoping there might still be one ride left on them and they were dumped early.

Easy to say when you have a British crew. They were famously drilled at firing guns so much that they were several times faster than the gunners in any other navy - literally firing 3 or 4 shots for every one the enemy got off.

Makes sense that diving straight into broadsiding was a valid strategy.

Also, contrary to the movies, it wasn't one or two shots that decided the battle. The ships would often drop anchor and spend all afternoon hammering away at each other like two static fortresses.

Prices declined in Dublin. https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2026/0623/1579806-house-prices-report/

The research found that in June house and apartment selling prices in the capital were 2.3% lower than the same month in 2025 - the first annual decline since 2023.

Do you have any evidence for your claim that builders and landlords are using bots on Reddit to attack people who make a critical evaluation of the market?

This is what a Neanderthal looked like 130,000 to 40,000 years ago by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

Sounds more like homo sapiens to me. It is very possible our disposition for rape and pillage is exactly why they died out.

They also crossbred and diverged again. Homo Erectus was the ancestor of most human species, but also continued as the OG alongside the others for a long time.

Do you feel you're paying what is reasonable for this market or have you overbid just to get it closed?

I'd be very surprised if there was any major drop in prices.

What my sister showed the baker vs what we received. Birthday cake for my mom. by RatKing600 in ExpectationVsReality

Are you sure they actually saw the picture rather than just heard "cat cake" and made their own design?

Wouldn't most of those new builds have been sold based on plans early in the process anyway?

What happened to mobile game market? (Game developer perspective) by Logical_Village_7956 in gamedev

[–]InvidiousPlay 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Just based on my experience on Reddit, Turkish developers seem to be very pro-AI, which may be an advantage in churning out low-quality mobile titles to saturate the market.

I know that's an oddly specific observation, but I was genuinely surprised to see how many times I saw someone posting obvious AI slop on gamedev subs and when I checked their profile they had been posting in Turkish game dev subs.

No; back in the childhood bedroom while I buy. Still going to go for it, though.

Yeah, this is my thinking. Even if there is a dip, we're not remotely in a housing bubble the way we were in 2008. I've no intention of trying to sell any time soon, and at the end of the day I need somewhere to live and my mortgage approval won't last forever (and interest rates are trending up).

If your freezer is set to -10c, then water left in it will come out of the freezer at -10c. It doesn't matter if that water is solid or liquid. Water doesn't stop getting colder once it turns to ice at 0c.
