Gotta mention the downsides. You’re gonna pay more for electrical/gas. Since you’re basically keeping your hot pipes full of hot water at all times. If you’re in an older house and those pipes are copper and in a crawlspace, exposed to 40 degree weather, that’s gonna get cold pretty quick.

If you end up with access to old pipes I recommend a good insulation for starters. I insulated my own and my heat up time dropped from like 2 minutes to 30 seconds. Still quite a bit of time to wait but I’d be spending a lot on constantly keeping that longer pipe full with hot water

I have a HTPC with 4 controllers and honestly my steam library has more couch games than my old Xbox.

You can but crouching and getting back up is so slow you can’t tell what people are doing anymore

Considering the crippling wheat and other exports Ukraine provides for the west, yeah, there’s a lot of reasons to invest into Ukrainian victory and survival. I’m not niave to believe the US cares about Ukrainian lives.

Also it’s an election year. Biden isn’t refusing to send support. Congress is.

Dude I’m talking about ceceding kharkiv and Odessa to Russia which is what you are saying is a reasonable solution

If you like deck builders and poker style card games this is an excellent imagination of the 2. Very fun.

They’re still being killed there. Sure not occupied yet, but you said it’s the one reasonable thing to do.

With Ukrainian family in kharkiv, Odessa, and kiev this is not a reasonable outcome in the slightest.

Its not a participation award game. It’s the game of games. It’s not about kelce not getting to play. It’s about the chiefs losing because they’re not utilizing their best weapon. It’s a team sport and you’re watching your team lose because you’re not being used.

Imagine being on a competitive team project and you’re the best speaker presenting to the state but your teacher decides to let the shy kids try to present, clearly bumbling and being incoherent, letting your opponents out argue every point your peers are making when you clearly can out speak them. You’d be pretty upset with your teacher for getting you to states, you being the reason you’re there, and then once you’re there you’re sidelined.

And the flowers taste delicious!

If you agree that parenthesis go first then the equation becomes 8/2x4. Then it’s simply left to right because multiplication does not take precedence over division. What’s the nuanced talk? That M comes before D in PEMDAS?

Yeah… I’ve also never watched star trek, or used Linux, or had Firefox and browsing is all that.

No it’s not. Renting is a totally normal way to have a place to live without having to deal with banks and the mess that getting a mortgage or a loan causes. Some people prefer to rent because they just pay for the home and live there. Don’t have to worry about the rest that comes with home ownership and leave it to the owner.

Renting as a business or corporation should absolutely be outlawed. Apartments should be owned by the tenants. Condos and HOA’s should be owned by the community they serve.

A man owning a home and renting it out isn’t the problem and you know it.

I agree. They should make it that no one person can own more than like 3 properties or something like that.

Apartments should be owned by the renters. They pay for their management and if it’s poorly managed they can choose to hire someone else.

Same with condos and the absolute nightmare costs of HOA. No HOA should own a community. The community should own the HOA.

Selling your home is not a solution. “Being the owner they would of had more respect for it” is a ridiculous notion to abide by. People will wreck their home as owners just as much as renting. You can easily just argue to have the tenant pay full cost for rent, pay full down payment and then maybe he would have respected how much he was paying for his living solution.

Do you not understand the costs of buying and selling a home? Having to deal with banks and lending? You think this is the solution every time someone or a family needs to make a living change?

The guy tried to rent out his property at a reasonable price because he didn’t want to go through the other route. Even without the absurd costs of closing and dealing with mortgage lenders and every party involved, the volatility of the housing market is enough to make people insecure.

I can tell the majority of people here aren’t home owners and hate landlords like some evil boogeyman but they’re conflating a single or 2 house owner with a renting conglomerate. Selling your home so there’s more homes on the market as a solution is equivalent to turning the water off while brushing your teeth to fight the dwindling supply of water.

Man people hate owning property here. Selling your house because you needed to change living conditions for a while is wild. Besides the absolute volatility of housing markets and prices, just the cost of buying/selling a home is a ton. Renting is an easy way of what you did.

No way do these people think selling your home was the right idea in your position. And it’s not entitlement to want people to take care of property.

I’ve been living under a rock. What’s going on with unity?

This. I tried lemmy. Didn’t use it until sync came out. Now that lemmy is looking for engineers I’ll donate some money.
