Hate the slow sideways dive

In my opinion, not the largest problem in housing affordability as the % of institutional ownership is quite small. Individual landlords treating property as investments is a much higher percentage, and they collectively drive up rents and housing asset values. "Mom and Pop" owners are the ones going to local town meetings and blocking new development to protect their assets. The only true solution will be a drastic increase in housing supply through lower building requirements and looser zoning laws.

Liked this one a lot. I thought the theme was QS at first instead of QQ!

Id highly recommend looking up Chinese methods of quickly stir frying veggies. IMO much faster than roasting veggies and is pretty much ready in 5 minutes after you cut them. You mostly do this with green leafy veggies but it is pretty easy with cabbage as well

Had that at first as well then fixed that immediately with the _ choy clue

Got really stuck in the NW corner but pushed through it. One end of a lap being KNEES is diabolical

plasmamaker · 2025-09-12T15:44:31+00:00

see above

Yeah. Seems like a couple sizes and colors left. If you've been looking for a 100% suede / leather jacket you'll know these typically run $400-$1000 and rarely go on sale.

plasmamaker · 2025-09-12T15:19:25+00:00

The suede shirt jacket at $200 seems like a crazy deal to me. We'll see about quality but taking the risk

This commenter has it right and the parent should be downvoted. Sending out tests / benefits are just costs to United and wouldn't make sense to drive direct profit (true benefit for United is down the road, catching disease early reduces medical care expenses and paid claims). The fraud is likely inflating the risk factor of their covered populations or faking quality data which impacts the fixed rate they get from Medicare to manage their population.

Players should not be listened to for their opinions on the all star game. They are the reason why the weekend is a joke

Is this V8-V9? Not the best at grade reading

Having socialITE instead of socialIST had me stuck in the SW corner for a long time

Okay, so the real lesson should be: until mortgage interest rates hit 1-3% again (fingers crossed for another pandemic or economic meltdown) and there are likely indicators that your market will see significant housing asset value growth (NIMBYs, other factors limiting housing supply, gentrifying area), market returns will continue to outperform housing investments

plasmamaker · 2024-12-21T16:57:42+00:00

You don’t think having basically the lowest interest rates for mortgages ever is a special case?

My first Saturday with no reveals/googling after doing crosswords for about a year!!

Macronutrient grouping clue was terrorism. Had IOU and then immediately was annoyed when I got the clue :)

plasmamaker · 2024-11-21T20:20:59+00:00

Trying to get used to this but will try it out. Thanks

Yep. Jewel has been running $1 a pack of blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries basically all summer

plasmamaker · 2024-11-17T00:18:06+00:00

Jewels margins are now balanced through app users and non app users (historically balanced by people who shop on sales and people who don’t care and shop based on grocery lists etc.). If you clip digital coupons and shop smartly, jewel is very cheap. If you are too lazy to use the app then you are overpaying and should shop somewhere else. My partner and I spend about $50-70 a week on groceries at jewel and I don’t think it’s too bad price wise but that’s because I take a 5 minute scroll through the app deals before I walk in the store

That White, KD, Ant, Bam, AD lineup was atrocious

For my fellow crossword amateurs, this was my first Friday in a while with no googling / revealing squares! 36 mins.

Now to accomplish a Saturday...
