They're beating on a ragged anime trope trying to make a joke. Everyone lately thinks they're comedian. :eyeroll:

WYSIWYG collaboration platform, I guess?

You'd have to go back to around 2000 to find rates on a 30 year fixed comparable to today's. https://www.freddiemac.com/pmms

Historically we're still in a period of pretty good rates. However, the reality is who cares about what things were like more than 25 years ago. The new normal is 6ish percent, and we're over that right now. I don't think we're ever going to see rates below 5% again, not counting for some extraneous circumstance nobody can predict. But at this point any relief is going to be meaningful to a lot of people.

On the other hand, home prices are not coming down, and they probably will not come down even if there's plenty of overinflated valuations out there.

Therefore the only thing to give on affordability is increased supply to keep home values from continuing to grow in a pace that outruns incomes, and lower rates so more people can afford what's out there today.

It finally just came up. Posting here from it now.

The admin last posted almost 2 weeks ago saying he was having a minor surgical procedure and hadn't publicly posted since. Hopefully he's okay and fixed this himself, but he's still silent at the moment.

Rtfa. It's literally the second sentence.

imagery of its Jan. 18 flight sent to Earth this week indicates one or more of its rotor blades sustained damage during landing, and it is no longer capable of flight.

Not exactly a myth, but likely never used for retention purposes as was originally intended. See more here: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/11495/nema-5-15p-blade-holes

Richard Hunt is Executive Chairman of the Electronic Payments Coalition.

That was obvious way before this line at the bottom. It's an option hit piece that spreads fear instead of substance.

Open type fonts have these capabilities built in. It's up to the designer to implement it in useful ways like this.

There's two of us! Really the minority in this thread. For me there was no guide so i was extremely confused at first. Then I found it interfered with one of my most used apps that featured similar gestures so I turned it off and never went back.

Wow. I read through most of the pages. What a convoluted system! Besides several new terms that are interdependent and poorly defined, this scheme is going to be impossibly opaque to users and orders of magnitude more complex than upvote/downvote. I especially don't like that points are directly related to karma, when karma whoring and botting are prevalent. Last thing we need is karma earning one some measure of influence or control in a community.

They clearly think this is something people will simply get used to should they not enthusiastically embrace it. Why they think that in an era of other platforms dumbing down interaction to nothing more than an upvote I can't wrap my head around.

What a colossal waste of resources. Thankfully it appears to be opt in by sub for now, though I doubt that will last.

Perfect. Welcome!

If your engine is working very poorly. Unburned fuel in your exhaust is a problem large enough that you'll probably be experiencing a lot of engine trouble.
