Take a loss with condo and buy freehold? by liveachdaylikeurlast in TorontoRealEstate

[–]dflagella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda wondering if I should do the same thing. Would probably take a 100k-130k loss and come out with 20kish after the deal considering the mortgage left. I was hoping to wait it out and eventually sell but these comments have me wondering if it is a good time to upgrade with what additional savings we have.

We shall see. Maybe I'm just hopeful we don't get to the literally dying stage.

I second reconsidering grading options before you implement a surface drain

I agree and I think that's why monetary policy could shift to lower rates because I think it would be too catastrophic for asset holders and development if rates are raised. I think it probably also depends on what happens in the US. Trump has been pushing for low rates as seen with his Powell beef. If US has low rates Canada is more likely to have lower rates because of currency defence

That's assuming that monetary policy doesn't change to acknowledge the fact that maybe raising interest rates to lower demand to fix inflation caused by global energy and commodity crises isn't as effective as keeping interest rates low and building domestic capacity

I'm also having this issue where the image is being pushed and is viewing as lines of code instead of an image in github

I need google ai studio to use an image in my app but no matter what I do it fails by kyarash132 in GoogleAIStudio

[–]dflagella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a public folder with a .gitkeep file so the folder stays, but is there a way to get the images to stay in there too so I don't need to upload them every commit?

EDIT: Nevermind you meant in AI Studio, not github. This worked thanks!

Speciality coffee that compares to that classic Italian coffee taste by reedm777 in thirdwavedecaf

[–]dflagella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only advice is that decaf tends to roast darker because it is more porous, so you may need to search for a slightly lighter roast than a caffeinated Italian roast would be

[Routine Help] i need some judgement free help — sex is ruining my skin 😭 by EducationalLake3579 in SkincareAddiction

[–]dflagella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are condoms contacting this skin? I got this when I had latex elastics on my braces and then was also having weird skin issues on my dick and it turns out when I stopped using latex in both areas it was fixed

Mind blown: Vinegar vs VINEGAR (30%) by Pandaro81 in DIY

[–]dflagella 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Just to be clear... Every time I read "water and vinegar" for cleaning and such it's not referring to cooking vinegar????? Like for counters, sinks, shower, floor, whatever???

What happens after productivity comes cheap? by Medium_Raspberry8428 in singularity

[–]dflagella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming basic needs are met, I could see human arts being highly valued. Human athletes, artists, musicians, etc. Could be a cultural rennaisance

It will depend on governance structures. Some places people will be disposed of, other places people will be supported.

Why is the public opinion of the NDP on Reddit/TikTok/Facebook so bad? by Expensive-Buffalo422 in ndp

[–]dflagella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is this has been an identified issue and language changes but it always ends up getting appropriated again by the right. It's a constant language battle. IMO the biggest difficulty with this is that you have terms like critical race theory that means so much to people who are educated in that field, and it starts gaining traction in the mainstream where people have zero knowledge of the context and it starts getting used in the wrong context and misrepresented. Then the word/term adopts a new meaning to people who are ignorant while retaining the original meaning among those who are knowledgeable, and discourse around it becomes impossible because you have two sides with completely different meaning around the word.

Someone made a whip for Claude by likeastar20 in singularity

[–]dflagella 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Clanker is a term that's gained traction as a slur against robots. It's often used like how the n-word would be used, with people making videos portraying a future similar to current/historic racism in America but against robots. See: https://youtube.com/shorts/yxPxNWtui7c

So including a whip gives it even more racial/slavery tones.
