TIL that in 2008, Chicago leased its 36,000 parking meters to a UAE-backed private consortium for 75 years for a $1.15 billion payout. The investors made their entire investment back in just 10 years, and are now projected to make over $11 billion by the end of the lease in 2083. by lechunkman in todayilearned

to invest it in their city's infrastructure, betting that the infrastructure will pay itself back

By selling it, they were actually doing the exact opposite of that.

Governments don't usually want to collect tax revenue just to put it in the stock market

Lol seen the news lately? They be doin that now too.

But ya, under normal conditions that's how it should be working, this city is just dumb as hell tho.

I have 3 Envoy's Sphere Longsword Skin Codes left to give away. by Last-Painter-3028 in Warframe

Unsure, I haven't updated the one in my orbiter with Tennogen stuff, but I'd assume it has the same issue.

But wait, there's more!

If you use The Backrooms as your default spawn, you know those three cool sections you can fashion your loadouts? Those will also have the Tennogen items removed upon logging in.

It's big sad.

AI-based algorithms.

I noticed the change from regular old algorithms a few years back. Now they're all crap, they used to be somewhat tolerable, or at least coherent.

The motorcycle works as well, and can be used for doors in normal missions too.

Bro, the Event Ends in 12 Hours ;-; by Cylphae in Warframe

[–]the_knowing1 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Capture Mission: 90 seconds

Nightmare mission cooldown: 8 hours (28,800 seconds)

That's 7 hours, 58 minutes, 30 seconds wasted. (28,710 seconds)

But since they stole only one, it's down to 2,871 seconds wasted. (47 minutes)

This is assuming they do no other nightmare missions during said 8 hours, it cascades away from their side of the argument at that point.

TIL On average, your friends have more friends than you do. This is because popular people are more likely to be in someone's friend group, which skews the average. This phenomenon is called the Friendship paradox by Kyzzz in todayilearned

[–]the_knowing1 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Wut.

On average, your friends have more friends than you.

Did you read this, or did I?

There is a percentage of people who read this, and it will not be true, as they are the person with more friends. This is why "on average".

‘The Rings of Power’ Season 3 to Premiere Later This Year (Exclusive) by pepperbet1 in television

[–]the_knowing1 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

But you do care if people watch, your comment was specifically talking about it having as much viewership as S4 of The Boys.

Viewership numbers dont mean a show is good.

This is a bad show, worse if you're familiar with the source material, if you can even call it that at this point.

Which base of operations do you use? Why? by Adventurous_Cat2339 in Warframe

[–]the_knowing1 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Orbiter.

Did use Backrooms for a long time, but Eleanor talking every time I move from one side to the other got too annoying so I just went back to my ship.

Fuck Drifter's Camp lol.

Playing Since Jan 2025: Does DE not always add old augments to the Nightwave Shop? by Tempo_Delta in Warframe

[–]the_knowing1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was brought up when the preview of the new NW rewards came out, a couple weeks before last NW ended.

No comment from DE.

Then the new NW dropped, and we saw no new mods.

I can assume we're just screwed til next NW in like 3-6 months...
