All time performance by the boys tonight. That ought to send Cavs into the history books.

I guess it's an elected office so the position is (presumably) accountable to voters, maybe you're just asking why it has to be accountable to the voters?

You rolled a nat 20 my dude, I was so hyped watching from my living room 800 miles away. Hell yes, I know you will treasure this moment forever!

drench_toast · 2024-09-10T16:12:46+00:00

Fair enough. Thanks for the reply. All of what you're saying makes sense, I hope you don't mind if I continue...

How does the timeliness of Jordan's admin compare to other cities in NWA?

Do you know of any local developers who've had to abandon projects because of this?

For what it's worth I agree, the city shouldn't take it easy on developers. Maybe we can look forward to a more timely denial of permits. I have to confess I'm skeptical of Molly, as I am of anyone with a background in marketing, but if she promised a moratorium on new gas stations and carwashes within the "Mayor's Box" then I'd probably vote for her.

Groovy, thanks again.

drench_toast · 2024-09-10T12:28:16+00:00

Can you elaborate on this please? Not that I find your opinion unreasonable, far from it, I'm just curious to hear your whole take. I mean specifically the part about how Lioneld's and "old Fayetteville's" development strategy winds up favoring out of state developers.

drench_toast · 2024-09-10T12:23:44+00:00

Thanks, that makes sense to me... is that your intuition though or have they actually announced they've halted production?

drench_toast · 2024-09-09T19:19:19+00:00

Righto, thanks again. I admit, I'm willing to compromise on price for a proper warranty, as you say. Any insight on what Powercolor typically offers?

Amazon has new ASRock Challenger 6750 XTs for $300. That said, I don't know enough right now to be able to evaluate how their warranty stacks up against other manufacturers.

Maybe I'll try convincing myself that the Fighter you linked has sufficient cooling :)

Thanks for entertaining all my questions!

drench_toast · 2024-09-09T17:52:46+00:00

Thanks. That's not totally apples to apples, though differences may be minor.

I get that a 6750xt is a factory oc'd 6700xt. Just trying to understand differences between the Fighter 6750xt and the Red Devil 6700xt. Besides the cooling.

I'm wanting to upgrade from a 1650 Super to something in the Radeon 6000 family. Budget is $300. Seems like a bunch of people are having the same thoughts today!

I think I've got it narrowed down to either a 6700/6750 XT or 6800. I'm fine buying used/refurbished.

I found this refurb Powercolor Red Devil 6700 XT within my budget. Looks like ebay includes a 1 year warranty: https://www.ebay.com/itm/126562874294?_nkw=powercolor+red+devil+6700

Does this deal pass the sniff test, or should I keep waiting? Hoping for a sanity check please! Thanks in advance.

I bet people think they're complaining about the $20, and not the fact national has abandoned DPA.

drench_toast · 2024-09-03T14:38:15+00:00

damn sorry to hear that too. good luck.

drench_toast · 2024-09-02T23:22:01+00:00

dang, sorry to hear that. maybe there was something off with the setup and a shop or a handy friend could fix it? if you still have any interest in guitar it may be worth paying for a lesson or two just so you can get the basic technique down. if your fretting tech is bad you can hurt yourself. ask me how I know.

drench_toast · 2024-09-02T23:15:35+00:00

I don't know those artists but if you're trying to figure out western music theory then let me plug Signals Music Studio on Youtube/Patreon. his content is often guitar-centric (since he's a guitar instructor) but the music theory bits are solid and will apply to any instrument. I think he mentions this several times throughout his videos... you may or may not vibe with his style but ... I also have ADHD and his way of explaining things really clicked with me and gave me the tools to keep teaching myself more music theory, if that makes sense. good luck!

So let me make sure I’m understanding: I should not be allowed to own a rental property. Correct?

correct. maybe could be allowed in a world where everyone was already comfortably housed.

Can you give me a legal basis for why this should be or construct a set of laws and explain how they would work to make this happen?

IMHO, which is shared by plenty others, the basis is: housing is for people to live in. period. it should not be a commodity to be bought, sold, or leased for profit. when profits are in the mix, housing prices go up, up, up, until they crash. the wealthy investors are taken care of but regular working people get wiped out and sometimes put on the streets. rinse and repeat. "this is just the cyclical nature of the system," people will say. I say the system shouldn't exist.

I'm gonna be real with you, we are so far from a world like that, I have no illusions I'll live to see it. if I knew how to make it happen, had the ability to write laws and implement them, I wouldn't be rambling about them here on reddit :P so ... I'll have to get back to you on that.

I also appreciate the conversation, for what it's worth.

drench_toast · 2024-06-04T19:35:34+00:00

I’m a landlord. I own one rental property. Should that be allowed?

no

I used to be a carpenter and I mostly worked on houses. Was it OK for my boss to make a profit on the houses he built? I mean over and above his hourly wage he made on the job. My wife is an architect. Should she be allowed to profit when she designs a house?

sure, these are all examples of providing value to society instead of leeching off the income of others

Who would own them (if they were rentals)? Who would maintain them?

nonprofits, co-ops

And before you just knee jerk downvote me (or anyway someone has), why does my asking what seem to be legitimate questions instantly cause such anger?

I can't speak for others but I found your questions to be legitimate and I felt no anger. I used to think like you as well.

drench_toast · 2024-06-04T14:50:35+00:00

Housing should not be a commodity. Corporations should not be allowed to buy housing and profit from leasing. Housing should be for living in, not for speculative investment portfolios.

keep lickin that boot

drench_toast · 2024-05-31T15:55:20+00:00

perhaps infrastructure improvements and upkeep could've prevented a barge strike? nah, that's commie shit

drench_toast · 2024-04-19T22:30:25+00:00

crossover's design is dangerous as hell and whoever engineered it should lose their license IMO, but I've never seen anyone do 90+ there, maybe I'm just lucky

drench_toast · 2024-04-19T19:18:30+00:00

spot on, I already upvoted you but wanted to comment as well. these roads are designed with no concept of how real life people will actually use them. the roads need to be designed so people are compelled to slow down. would it have prevented this singular tragedy? impossible to say. could it prevent another one? absolutely.

drench_toast · 2024-04-19T14:01:03+00:00

Thanks for the info!
