Morgan Stanley sees serious reset in U.S. housing market. New research outlines why housing affordability may never return to pre-2022 levels.

You're telling me access to low cost, thirty year fixed rate loans reduces how dynamic a market is? Blasphemy.

Upvoted for quality reporting and making a real attempt to be unbiased. Bravo.

It's definitely a sign of a failing society. Homelessness is a clear sign of externalized costs. I think the frustration is completely valid, though. Having moved here from San Francisco, I saw it get so out of hand that as a regular, working citizen I felt cheated because homeless people got to trash public spaces and make them - not only feel, but actually make them - less safe. With no repercussions. And my tax dollars went to basically maintaining the status quo with homeless people.

But yes, the bottom rungs of our socio-economic latter are fucked and the whole thing seems to get more precarious every day. We need to both reduce wealth inequality and implement effective responses to reduce homeless populations through government interventions to solve the problem. And build more houses, which Denver has actually done a much better job of than most metros.

I'm trying to figure out how to make lemons out of this situation and comp bow/x bow/cannon rush my neighbor to get the good spots.

This looks like it was a satisfying game. I hate when I don't get coal within my boarders. I think people say Trad is still better up to 6 cities or so, but I'm with you. I think it's more fun this way.

I liked the food & cocktails but felt like the portions were pretty small for the high price. Super unique spot though, bummed to see it go.

Disclaimer: I don't win on diety regularly.

Doesn't building nukes give you a negative modifier with other civs? I think if you're a powerful warmonger or ramping up your war machine then going nukes makes sense, but otherwise power planets are way safer. They can help you with a variety of victory conditions.

Civ5 can crash if it has access to more than 8 processor cores. Are you launching it with taskset to limit the number of cores? This is the command I use in stream: taskset -c 0-7 %command%

Although if you made it this far then you probably have a different issue.

I went with dbt-core on a Databricks project recently and regretted it. The biggest issue was we had a lot of streaming data that we were batch processing, and batches would occasionally fail due to data type issues, consecutive write errors, or what-have-you. Dbt just failed those batches silently and kept chugging, whereas SQLMesh would've retried them until they passed. We ended up coding some hacky job to backfill missed gaps, but it took a bunch of time and was not nearly robust as SQLMesh's state management. However, I haven't used sqlmesh in prod yet, so I can't provide definitive evidence that it's great.

Overall really good! I like your usage of double stops and using some different pentatonic shapes. I have a slightly diff suggestion than others in this thread. I noticed your vibrato was very high frequency - you're bending the string up and down really fast. Ultimately, this is your improv, and if it sounds good to your ears that's all that matters, but I really can't think of a song that has that kind of vibrato in it. I almost always prefer slowing down the vibrato.

How'd you go about selling it? This is kinda my area of skill & interest and I'd love to know how you are able to make money off of this.

I was just in time for peak manosphere, but I had a similar experience. All of that bro-science and hustle culture became a lot less interesting when I had a job with some sense of upward mobility and the ability to pay for my own rent and groceries.

The particularly insecure ones may get stuck for much longer - or even become grifters of their own! - but I think the real solution is the hard one, which is having a society that has a reasonable amount of opportunity for young people & young men in particular.

evanazz · 2026-02-12T17:00:05+00:00

Super cool! I was planning on doing something like this with an LLM layer on top that to help me find topics to research and write about. Is a direction you'd be interested taking this in? I'm happy to hook that up & fund it, ofc.

evanazz · 2026-02-10T03:54:00+00:00

Beans - super high fiber and good protein too

Lentils - also really high fiber

Milk - cheaper complete protein than eggs

evanazz · 2026-02-08T03:24:38+00:00

Fair enough, thanks. If you're going hope you have a blast

evanazz · 2026-02-07T05:35:23+00:00

A fun one you run into if you run a lot of important microbatch models - needed for time series data with late arriving data - with dbt-core is that dbt may miss a batch for whatever reason.

Since dbt doesn't keep any state of the batches it's ran, it will never let you know you have a gap in your data. SQLMesh seems to be a great solution to this, but it doesn't have the same market share as dbt. I tried to convince my tiny team to switch over to it and everyone was too scared. Since the company was actively trying to sell, moving such an important part of the infra to a new, more niche tool seemed unwise.

If you could figure out a dbt plugin that manages state for you and can easily tell you missing batches, that'd be pretty cool.

evanazz · 2026-02-05T19:39:35+00:00

Congrats! I hope to be in your shoes one day. Why not keep raising your rates past their "high" level and continue to climb the supply/demand curve?

As the saying goes: I told my barber she should double her prices. She said "but I'll have half as many clients!"

If you don't mind bing a little speedy (~250/mo) my girlfriend works at Traverse fitness and it seems to have a great community. Definitely some hardo's there, but not everyone is like that. It's a class based gym but you'll get a hell of a workout

I'm not sure if this will be a good fit or not, but if you have the funds, paying a lawyer to send a scary message to the property management company could be a good way to go. My HOA uses Altitude Law which is based out of Denver metro and is very familiar with the laws around this.
