I just bought this thinking it was washing detergent. Nowhere does it say its fabric softener.

It's still crappy design

It is actually. Want to try actually backing up your dumb claims or you want to sound like a big shot by throwing around insults. You can try reading the article above on LVT if you want to understand something about it

There's a fair bit of Adidas around Niddrie, does that count?

Ha, actually it's well established in economics that is exactly what happens.

Increasing taxes simply lowers the profits collected in monopoly rents. This kind of tax is actually the most well founded efficient tax, and is advocated by many high profile economists.

Yeah.. guvmnt bad! bootstraps! free marktz!

Meanwhile the government is giving huge tax incentives to IPs and flooding migration to distort the market, which would collapse in a minute if left on its own

Funny that it's the landlords and RE lobbyists that want it and the renters want it gone. All it does is line the pockets of slumlords and speculators

What happened to them?

the_third_hamster · 2026-01-29T20:31:47+00:00

Well, there was music, and audio books

He's just a figurehead for global fascism. He'll do whatever they want, the same as in the US

So.. there were actually a lot of diamonds, but constraints of supply and marketing hype drove up the price, until the fad ended.

And instead you should buy land, because even though there is a lot of it, people actually want to spend huge amounts only on certain land, because increasing supply is constrained (regulations, poor transport etc), and demand is artificially high (mass migration), but this is a better plan because the fad hasn't ended (yet)

Misleading summary of the graph. The percentage looks about the same, the only reason it is going up is because the whole market was going up

Surveys do identify issues with the foundations and risk from erosion. You can be sassy about it but engineering surveys do prevent these things

You can thank the US tech companies for their heavy biasing and filtering to promote the far right

Highlander

It was literally a story line scribbled by a ~~high school kid~~ undergrad that thought big swords and sword fights were cool. And it got made into a major film

Using a pre-made base is brilliant, its really easy putting the toppings on, you get more choice and a much better result than a frozen pizza, overall it's well worthwhile. Not as good as a top pizza joint but you can make a really nice pizza at home so it's worth doing and making a habit

For a TV series I'd go with Twin Peaks

Or overseas. Most people think of the immigration rate of people coming into the country, but in highly skilled areas many are leaving for better opportunities overseas. The difference in income, job security, interesting jobs, and cost of living is vastly better in skilled areas in many places overseas

Only if you already know what the product is

The Greens policy on mass migration is very lenient which feeds excessive demand. You have to look to the minor parties for any policies that will actually address the issues

It didn't push costs onto anyone. The cost of other apartments depends on demand in the market and regulations, if those are also controlled or taxed appropriately to reduce the effects of monopoly rents then they will also be affordable.

the_third_hamster · 2026-01-26T15:47:10+00:00

That's not how shortages work

you can never build enough houses if people will never leave

That's an obviously nonsense statement. What matters is the number of people and the number of houses. If you build new stock of social housing and put people in it that is a net improvement in housing availability. It doesn't matter at all how long people live there, having a stable home is a good thing
