The switch from NiCad to the mass adoption of LiPo was pretty revolutionary in my eyes. That might just be me showing my age though 😅

Tenet IV:

The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.

Bro can post what they want and you have no say in the matter.

This is America… That is not a guarantee.

So after some googling, apparently this is a VERY widespread practice spanning multiple brands, multiple manufacturers, all around the US; but I can’t seem to find any explanation. It can’t just be industry-wide madness, right? …Right?

Take a second look. Salted butter = Orange box, Blue wrapper. Unsalted butter = Blue box, Orange wrapper.

How many times do we have to play this game before people realize it’s not a researcher, lawyer, doctor, or anything that has to rely on facts and established, valid data?

It’s a next-word generator that’s remarkably good at sounding human. Yes, this can often lead to accurate sounding information, but it doesn’t actually “know” anything. Not in any sense that could be relied on.

Bought my first home right at the end of low interest rates. I wasn’t planning on staying but I can’t afford to move now.

I work in this industry. The biggest problem with the software is it gave the management companies instant access to everyone else’s current prices. The industry has used “market surveys” for years but you had to actually call around and gather those prices yourself. It’s a very time consuming process so many only did their surveys sporadically.

With the software you had instant access to current price data and everyone pretty much raised their prices to match the market average. Then the newer/fancier properties saw the new higher average and thought “We’re a better property so we can raise our prices above the competition.” Which then led to a higher average that the rest then met again. Rinse and repeat and you have a de facto price fixing cartel.

If I understand it correctly, annihilation is a 100% efficient process that converts all the matter into energy. After the process is complete there is no matter left over and only energy in the form of light, heat, and other energy forms that go way over my head remains.

You should sub to his newsletter as well. Happy to say I’ve been the recipient of an “Official Rollie (No Prize)”. It was quite the honor.

Wasn’t the tin man’s body paint super cancerous as well?
