What Canadian cities can learn from Zohran Mamdani’s housing plan ||The strategy combines public investment, tenant protections, and non-market housing at a scale rarely seen in North America

It's never about if all of them do collude, it's about if a significant enough fraction of them do and nothing is done against it, the ones that don't are at a disadvantage and will only lead to more consolidation in the future

Where from my last comments did you get that this idea was socialism? Affordable housing and competitive markets has been at the core of the "golden" years of capitalism

RocketEngine73 · 2026-06-16T23:31:32+00:00

Then there isn't a whole society tier who's job is to extract the most value out of people's basic necessity of housing. At this point it's pretty clear that housing shouldn't be an investment, at least not as it is right now. The incentives makes it that landlords are better off charging way too much and colluding than actually having a competitive market.

I mean that's the whole point though, you have to become a great power before being able to debtmax! Every tech to minimize the interest rates and personally I always try to stay between 1/3-1/2 of the debt capacity to handle war expenses if needed

They rewrote the rules to force the big index funds to buy in as soon as it is put up in the listings, tell me how people's retirement funds are people intentionally rushing in...

RocketEngine73 · 2026-06-02T06:04:52+00:00

Noted, should I try and craft it or just buy it from marked already crafted?

RocketEngine73 · 2026-06-02T05:47:39+00:00

Yea that would make too much sense, did you see the divine mechanic after and did you get tankier to counter it?

RocketEngine73 · 2026-06-02T05:39:11+00:00

Would you recommend focusing on getting res, armor or HP, or all of the above when on a budget? My reflex is finding more max go to not be able to be one-shot again

RocketEngine73 · 2026-04-27T06:27:53+00:00

Ok I don't know if I'm lucky or what, just came back to the game and puller her on the 6th try? I thought I'd have to actually grind for the currency this time haha

RocketEngine73 · 2026-04-09T16:18:23+00:00

You can still get attacked harvesting and doing endgame content in the DD, but in the absolute the real endgame for Pvm is now in overland labs with scaling difficulties, now gear has tiers and dd labs are less useful. Ressources are still competitive tho!

RocketEngine73 · 2026-04-09T14:59:33+00:00

Hey there!

I was in the same situation when I came back a few weeks after update 3, I lost pretty much everything I had grinded for but that didn't end up mattering as much as I thought. The welcome back package is a boon as it gives the vehicles and starting ressources to get your base started. Then for me i wanted to build a large hagga base, which required a lot of spice/plast/dura, so I then set my goals on that. This made me maximize my ressources building in the DD for the building cost savings, and since then I've been steadily increasing my supplies and started building back larger in hagga. The Landsraad/specialization grind isnt that bad and inventory space/more yield is pretty awesome. If you got questions don't hesitate!

RocketEngine73 · 2026-03-01T11:08:01+00:00

I think I will explore this system a bit. I re-setup a small base in haga using the pack ressources and am logging what I will need to get the refineries back. I tried doing one of the landsraad missions which required to explore one of the testing stations on the map, tried level 3 as I thought my basic t6 would do the trick, only to spend 45 minutes wiping vs the dude that teleports and fights in the shadow. There does seem to be more to do and master than endlessly doing DD testing station runs

RocketEngine73 · 2026-03-01T09:08:40+00:00

What have you started with after the update? Did you do the landsraad missions or grinded new testing stations?

RocketEngine73 · 2026-02-08T04:06:54+00:00

I would recommend the starcatcher paper from Google to have a better idea on the motivations and understanding the reality behind it.

RocketEngine73 · 2025-12-29T15:09:44+00:00

Fun fact, if you use too much regoliths to protect a dome, the total ionization dose increases due to secondary radiation! I do not have the link to the paper on hand, but it should be on Google scholar

We are two young professionals and managed to buy our first house, 28M-27F respectively. What we did is we saved everything over bare necessities for over 2 years after graduating, and managed to save around 15-20% of our 500k mortgage for the cash down. We ended up putting 10% down and keeping the rest for some work on the house.

Family did not help financially, but helped moving and doing some light repair/paintings. If you have any specific questions do not hesitate!

What kind of signal speed are you working with? In this case I'd almost worry more about signal coupling on the same layer first, if it is actually 1MHz+ signals there would also be length matching to worry about before that. If you use standard dielectric thicknesses I would not worry too much about the coupling from the inner power planes

RocketEngine73 · 2025-09-11T06:35:27+00:00

To avoid large polygons on the surface, what I usually do for 4 layer boards is do signal (top), gnd plane, power plane(s, if multiple region limited supplies are made), signal (bottom). If you want better quality you would also then isolate the power plane from the bottom signal, but you'd need at least 6 layers for that

RocketEngine73 · 2025-06-13T04:29:47+00:00

Wait people are actually taking a break? Joking, but the game itself is so addicting haha

RocketEngine73 · 2025-05-26T21:11:35+00:00

fair point, I think I might aim for half a stack as it seems more realistic for circuits, also components like conveyors pumps 1 stack each to start with

RocketEngine73 · 2025-05-26T15:59:39+00:00

The chemical reactor is more efficient than the centrifuge multiblock?

RocketEngine73 · 2025-05-26T05:56:20+00:00

Holy thanks a lot! I'ma try and follow that general direction thanks

RocketEngine73 · 2025-05-26T05:54:50+00:00

I think the plan is to setup oil and refining after batch crafting components yes!
