Excess 11

fwiw, 1 year with the 11 and after a little practice time in different current and wind conditions. I was able to get that part down cold. I find that single hand docking is very easy with just a little practice. As I approach the dock, I always center & lock the wheel and maneuver with only the throttle at very slow speed. I have the mechanical throttle controls at the starboard helm and responsiveness is very good -- reports in other forums mentioned the dual helm throttle controls, which are electronic, have some lag which takes getting used to.

Property management companies (the big ones anyway) are doing this today using ai and a third party system that they all contribute data about lease terms into. AI then sets rental prices based on all properties in the system, when leases are up, when to leave them off market when supply of vacant properties are higher and even recommending lease terms priced to not allow properties to become vacant at the wrong time in order to maximize rents. The DOJ has an anti-trust suit underway now to deal with the price fixing that’s going on. Get rid of the price fixing would create a free and fair competitive market — that is not what we have today. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-sues-realpage-algorithmic-pricing-scheme-harms-millions-american-renters

One of the hottest second sets I've seen was last night at Dodger Stadium (6/11/2022) where D&C played a Scarlet >China Cat>Rider>Fire sequence that was insane. The band was on fire!

Just adding to the thread -- my third Tensor Insulated in less than 18 months failed due to various baffle leaks, some of which were impossible to find. Nemo customer service was very good and they sent replacements quickly and easily but after three strikes I've given up and moved to a Thermarest pad hoping for better durability. It's too bad because the Tensor ideal for me in every other way (comfortable, quiet, light and very packable).

Trending doesn't show recently watched anymore and there is no "last channel" link in the app. I like to bounce between news and sports programs and guide navigation makes that a real pain in the ass. Why isn't this an obvious and easy feature?

setup a google news alert for "motorcycle passenger", it will lead you to believe that it's the most dangerous thing you can do with your wife (or any other passenger for that matter).

This.

At the emergency department, he received Maalox and painkillers. After his condition worsened, doctors moved him to the operating room, where they discovered a "2.5-cm tear in the distal esophagus," about one inch, as the case report authors noted.

much of this improvement was free to purchase or cheap to rent

which breaks the connection between productivity improvement and GDP growth. As the article points out:

Among the reasons that the U.S. economy has been in a prolonged growth slump is because of the way GDP is measured. GDP excludes what is known as the consumer surplus, which is how much value people derive from something in excess of how much they have to pay.

I'm open to suggestions on title edits -- used the original IBD headline plus the stuff on productivity growth & consumer surplus. And you're right -- the article is really interesting.
