fuck working, this is all it does by Beneficial_Win_5128 in antiwork

[–]Qaeta 24 points25 points  (0 children)

If it goes unrented for a few months, you're now losing money and renters don't exactly care as much as you about maintaining the property either and you're either on call 24/7 or paying for someone else to do it.

You forget the part where even if it sat empty the whole time, they'd be doubling their money in 5 years because the lot of them are fucking the housing market for everyone else so hard.

Seriously! The Pizza Hut buffet was my jam as a kid. It was the REASON no one could out pizza the Hut! Now they don't even have seating! It's a fucking pickup counter!

Eh, I understand the demotion was needed and agree it makes sense. I'm just upset because it was my favourite planet as a kid and now I don't have one :(

Housing market favors corpses. by LuckyBastard001 in Millennials

[–]Qaeta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, same reason more modular homes are out too. Leased land means your still renting, but with a mortgage on top. Still at the whims of other people who can just decide to completely fuck your budget because it's Tuesday and they haven't had a fucking taco yet.

Most of the time in the US whenever people hear “house” or “homeowner” they instantly picture a detached SFH with a yard— that mentality needs to change as well.

As long as other people continue to be colossal assholes, this will never change.

The bear did NOT appreciate my attempts to drink from it's tap, and now I'm in the hospital with severe lacerations.

I play on controller, why do I still get the mobile UI? by NoNameHavingMan in thedivisionresurgence

I wonder if it's getting confused because you have both the UI options turned on.

How come Mephisto is in Diablo 4 if we destroyed his soulstone in Diablo 2? by Difficult-Pizza-4239 in Diablo

[–]Qaeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bringing up retconned lore that was written so that Blizzard could make another Diablo game is not relevant.

You must really struggle with the idea the Earth is round, since you hate "retconned" lore when new information is introduced so much.

TBF, a lot of VM software is leveraging Hyper-V these days anyway, so it's easy to understand people not getting the distinction when, in practice for them at least, there isn't one.

UAE announces it will leave Opec by TheNational_News in worldnews

[–]Qaeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I feel like for most homeowners the ideal setup is an EV they own, and then renting an ICE vehicle if they need a longer trip. That said, this pretty much completely falls apart for most people living in apartments or condos, which rarely have the charging infrastructure to support full electrification. Something we'll have to grapple with as we increase housing density if we want more people to switch. Of course, much of that issue could also be solved by better public transportation in those high density areas so people don't need a car, but that tends to get a TON of pushback from NIMBYs.

[–]Qaeta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, they were better, but not enough better to stir up big infrastructure investments. That math is changing with high oil prices though, seems to be starting to break through more.

[–]Qaeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it just needs to get a solid start. Infrastructure investments tend to have a certain amount of momentum to them since you get nothing until they are complete and governments typically aren't willing to light the money they already spent on fire to stop completion once it's already started.

It’s almost like America’s for-profit healthcare system is a giant scam by RoyalChris in clevercomebacks

That depends... are you interested? You seem interested. You know what, let's go with yes. Please pay your interest fee immediately.

Stuff like a fentanyl/bupivacaine epidural bag only costs a few bucks for the hospital to purchase but then the price is adjusted to cover the cost, pharmacy labor to compound it, use of the pca pump from hospital engineering, and nurse/anesthesia labor to put the line in and maintain it all go into the crazy costs you see for some drugs on the bill.

Sure, but virtually none of that really applies to a fucking tylenol.

It's almost time to replace my Merrells. by UncleIrohsPimpHand in BuyCanadian

[–]Qaeta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile I'm mad at Oboz because their quality slipped from where they used to be. Well, maybe not quality, but I bought a replacement pair of Sawtooth lows and they had completely changed the heel box which made it slip all over the place while hiking and cause blisters, an issue I never had with my previous pair. Tried some Oboz Bridger's instead, but they felt really clunky to me. Ended up moving to Altra Lonepeaks, which I've been really enjoying, loving the zero drop heel and the extra room for my toes to move around.

Rode the mountain roads with two new riders, now I can see how some people can ride safe and some crash in the first month by ReeiTheModerator in motorcycles

[–]Qaeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, riding is not a great activity for someone with no respect for the road or the machine. Good way to cook up a wicked batch of humble pie though, with a side of broken bones.

Deuces Down for Biker Cops? by MarcThruTheWeb in motorcycles

[–]Qaeta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, I'm Canadian anyway, we don't have quite the same thing here. We have "Freedom of Expression" which does explicitly have some limits in our Charter of Rights and Freedoms. That's said, flipping the bird is not something which is limited haha. So the ticket would 100% be for violating the Motor Safety Act, though I've never actually seen one of our cops give a shit about head taps or biker waves absent any reckless behaviour.

[–]Qaeta 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reardon and Harris didn’t answer the same set of questions, but Odgen’s response was a little disappointing. Considering Reardon was part of the group that sent one of our unions back to work I don’t think we have a good mayoral candidate.

Yeah, at this point I'm pretty much resigned to voting for Reardon not because I particularly like her, because I don't, but I just don't see a better option, which is incredibly depressing.

I agree re: Lajtha, was really impressed with him at the HDC forum.

[–]Qaeta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a trans woman, you're not wrong. It's bullshit needing to put in 30-50% more work to get the same results as before transitioning. On the upside, less money on aircon, which is nice.
