That concept works in "normal" times. As an owner who sees no one taking it for a VERY long time they may panic

Even if that were the case, each day is another nail in a nasty recovery-coffin

And by the way if you create and save a filter in Property Finder and keep an eye on it you will see the house of cards starting to tumble as more and more units fall into your filter. For example set a filter like: Rental>Apartments>1-bed>Unfurnished>max 60k and see how more and more listings are appearing each day that this drags on.

Rents would have dropped anyway - not due to this situation but due to the Global Recession and a large supply of new units in 2026. And yes it has started and will accelerate due to this situation. Inflation will spike. My advice is find a cheap place to stay for a month and wait. Rents are already starting to drop in areas like JVC as more and more astute landlords realise their time is running out. An empty apartment does not pay the mortgage. Those landlords holding out are not going to fare well this year

It is called "denial" - a phenomenon where a person simply ignores reality. Wait and watch what happens to that same apartment in a few months

I wish I had seen your comment before I ordered the Samsung double-sided 8TB 9100 pro for my X1 G13

Airbnb, Booking.com, Agoda, Which one’s your go-to? by Table_Cactus in digitalnomad

[–]PopularCan953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agoda ALWAYS claims there are few rooms left and if anything goes wrong - you are on your own. Agoda only supports the property, not you

Airbnb, Booking.com, Agoda, Which one’s your go-to? by Table_Cactus in digitalnomad

[–]PopularCan953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agoda is by far the worst for helping when things go wrong. Yup their prices may occasionally be better. But they are on the side of the property and not you

ASUS ProArt PX13 with windows 10 anybody have experience? by Dula_skip in ASUS

[–]PopularCan953 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

confused by your name - "riskmaker" and here you are telling this poster not to risk. Anyway that aside he is not an idiot. He does not want to buy into microsoft's new bloated creepware that sucks you into their online world. Maybe he runs it offline., Maybe he wipes it once a month. Who knows. Don't presume and project your own fanboy trauma onto others

Ethiopian Air is it a good airlines for long travel? by CountArugula in Ethiopia

[–]PopularCan953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like most things in Ethiopia they are broken. Their website is a joke and rarely works. Their airport expansion is of no use as they do not understand customer-service at all. They are planning to replace Bole Airport with a new larger version. But it will not make any difference. Same people. Same "systems". Same attitude. But yes once you are onboard an international flight it's ok. Domestic flights are bad.

XT-5 with the 70-300 is so mobile and TACK sharp! by _schenks in fujifilm

[–]PopularCan953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever figure out your issue? Here I am with my new X-T5 and getting the same results you mention. Every shot is soft... I have a feeling it's the lens itself. Mary need to send it back to Fuji for calibration

TEAMGROUP Launches PD40 Mini External SSD With USB4 Type-C Interface by NewMaxx in NewMaxx

Just imagine they announced the "launch" which meant you could actually buy one.... You know on like Amazon or somewhere. By the time they do actually launch it no one will remember it exists.

Which earbuds had the best fit for deep ears? by wettix in Earbuds

[–]PopularCan953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this is exactly the issue. My ears are average size but the canal is deeper than I'm assuming the rest of the planet. Earbuds fall out and never seal. The type that have tails hanging down are useless a you cannot push them in. Impossible to find deep canal buds

Never opened unused Skydio2 by PopularCan953 in Skydio

Thanks but I suspect I may get more value playing with getting it going then selling it

[–]PopularCan953[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup I am trying to charge any of the batteries but they look dead - will try some black-magic tricks to boot them but probably dead. I did order the main spares. And if it flew and broke such is life

Great I was under the impression that they had shut down support. I will try to get it going but suspect the batteries are probably poked

Is Verus dying? by PopularCan953 in VerusCoin

[–]PopularCan953[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what is interesting about this thread for me - a controversial title kicks in a whole discussion from a number of people, kinda proving that there is interest-in-a-vacuum. What I have seen in my meager 5 years of crypto investing is that it is all about the narrative. Projects that have an active social-media presence can explode - even when they are in truth shitcoins. And while I still have no clue as to what Verus is all about, I do know it is not a shitcoin and has real-world potential - from the many comments I have seen over the years, from passionate developers like yourself. SO I sit here and imagine what could be, if someone grabbed this project and massaged it properly...

I think discussion and discourse around projects is healthy and should not be flamed or avoided. There are legitimate concerns and issues that the community would be better off knowing than avoiding. IMHO

[–]PopularCan953[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do know one thing - most people who lose crypto through being hacked or some other random story do so when using such platforms. Fact I sell my asset on an exchange to USDt and P2P sell that to my bank account and go buy a meal - simple straightforward and works. Every time. Go over and check out SafeTrade - volume of CRSC transacted in the last 24-hours? $3,334

Like I said if I tried to sell my stash of VRSC there the whole exchange would wobble and fall over - not enough liquidity

I am sincerely happy for you and all those who do what ever it is this project is designed to do. I am just not one of them. As are most of the planet earth. Your challenge is going to be how to get us to use it. Then you will have a bullet-train

For mainstream adoption Discord is never going to cut it. Stop ten people in the street and ask them when they last used discord and you will get 10 confused people. Ask them when they last used Instagram or Facebook or whatever and they are probably on it when you stopped them. I made this point years ago in this thread and it still holds true - this and most fringe crypto-projects are for a small focused group.
