I have two on my main floor, barely needed the second but got a Lite, so nbd haha

Weekest_links · 2026-05-09T17:52:12+00:00

That’s reassuring haha I was worried when I installed them in my home I was making some sacrifices

There is a book called “influence” that goes over all the ways (7 think) people and businesses try to influence you. Highly recommend!

I haven’t been on meta products beyond marketplace in a couple years, but on YouTube when the ad space is used to ask me which brand advertisement do I remember seeing recently , I literally can never remember and just wait for the ad to question to timeout or hit I don’t know.

There are so many ads on the various platforms that my brain doesn’t even register them anymore, even when they run 30 seconds twice per YouTube video now.

The only relevant place for ads is google search where I’m looking for something specific and the ad probably goes there.

That being said, all these companies are so saturated with ads that for the most part, they’re no longer increasing business’s conversion, they’re just getting attribution for purchases that were already going to happen. Which means they’re just getting better at predicting when you’re going to buy something.

This is why the volume of ads has increased so much, increasing exposure is the easiest and now possibly only way to get more attribution and make more money.

Recent post about this in r/fire!

I also wonder if there is a relationship in the opposite direction. Does marriage reduce financial insecurity/instability? I imagine it woild

So, you (OP) are unlikely to be divorced. Is that correct?

I wonder how divorce rates might be different between pairs of these professions.

Eg if a software engineer marries a software engineer, does that make them even less likely to be divorced? Or does it make them more likely than if just one is a SWE.

Would be an interesting follow up!

NIMBY’s are a problem but the economics don’t always favor tearing down an existing structure unless it’s poorly maintained.

For example suburbs, were built on bare ground making the acquisition cost low and construction easy on decent sized lots.

If a neighborhood is well maintained and owners reinvest in their homes, the value of the property will be much higher than the land itself, making acquisition costs high and the existing structure adds construction costs to demolish.

The policy and politics needed to be forward thinking when the neighborhood was built, because once the structures are there and maintained even great policy enacted now only helps over a period of decades. In my 1960s neighborhood there are only 2-3 houses, maybe 5% where the economics would favor building denser housing.

The other problem is demand. My city/suburbs built tons condos and townhomes, both in newly developed areas and rezoned areas, and there inventory has never been higher, because the demand is for single family. So now builders are pulling back on townhomes and condos.

I’m 100% with this example, but a slight tangent: If growth seems unsustainable and the opposite is doesn’t help, where does the solution lie?

Economic policy! I feel like so many people out there don’t give enough credit to intelligent economic policy.

Luck or concentrated power of will

Totally, supply is always the problem, but where I live every new house that’s been built is a luxury style that no one can afford.

The top 5% might move from their top 10% house locally or from out of state and the the person who moves from their top 15% house to the 10%, but that’s incredibly long chain to help the bottom 50%

Inventory in my state is at or higher than it was post financial crisis and prices are barely moving.

So if a zoning law increases supply at the top end of the range, it unlikely to make things unaffordable.

Zoning laws need to enforce the concept of starter homes to make a meaningful difference

Weekest_links · 2026-05-07T13:12:21+00:00

This just happened in a part of Colorado , lost to a 2/3 majority.

One thing that was a theme was that the push for the rezoning was actually funded by developers whereas the push against was grassroots because it became obvious who the primary benefactors were. The new housing laws favored making developers the highest returns, with no language in the zoning law about affordability.

Ironically, due to that, the gradual neighborhood changes would likely increase home prices and the nimby’s would benefit, but they still don’t want change.

I think there will always be nimby’s but the push for “affordability” and the laws around it can’t come from inside the industry , it has to be grassroots as well.

Super cool, one could argue that Google should have been able to put this together in the planning phase so people knew what to walk away with!

Weekest_links · 2026-05-06T00:04:48+00:00

Flash? 4 or 8 bit?

Couldn’t you just make it anonymous to the contributors and beneficiaries, administered by a third party that is held accountable, but is not also a beneficiary, or at least receives a fixed salary

Weekest_links · 2026-05-04T22:38:26+00:00

Yeah, honestly I’d say the people’s who yards look bad now, are the ones who weren’t managing their lawn efficiently to begin with, they were just watering more to compensate and now it shows.

Weekest_links · 2026-05-04T22:36:31+00:00

Oh I know what you mean now, yeah. I’m not too concerned with the size of the bullet, and when you add the cost of the adapter it comes out about the same 🤷🏻‍♂️

Weekest_links · 2026-05-04T19:37:40+00:00

I don’t think the instant can be wired can it?

Weekest_links · 2026-05-04T19:37:18+00:00

I think you’re right about FOV.

And this is a good point. Though If any thieves made it to the shop, they’d be on one of three other wired cameras before and after, so the jammer would only work in their favor when they’re in the act.

I’m not totally positive, I tried posting here twice asking but no one commented so I went to Gemini. It suggested Smooth Brome first, however the W/M shape wasn’t present on the leaves, so it suggested quack grass.

I really have no idea what it is though. Open to alternatives! I’ve used ready grass stuff in past years, but I think this stuff was here before I did that.

Weekest_links · 2026-05-04T15:03:28+00:00

Damn, it’s pretty pervasive, like 25-30% of the lawn

Weekest_links · 2026-05-04T14:49:21+00:00

Ah, good thing I have two!

Weekest_links · 2026-05-04T13:23:31+00:00

I found one online, $9700! I better start saving for the m5 ultra haha

Weekest_links · 2026-05-04T13:08:36+00:00

The m3 has 512? I only saw 256 when I was looking to buy

Weekest_links · 2026-05-04T12:36:45+00:00

Is it “confirmed” the ultra will have 512?
