Housing prices are set by supply and demand. Housing is distributed according to people’s ability to pay. If we don’t allow new development at the high end of the market, rich people will outbid the poor for the best available existing housing. Building and operating homes costs money.

My mom (via text): Do you want to go to a hockey game?

me: Sure! *starts mental countdown*

*phone rings*

My mom: Can you hook us up with cheap hockey tickets, please.

me, who had been expecting this: Of course. I'll send you the bill.

“I’ve spoken with over two-dozen rather senior people in the datacenter universe, and there was an interesting and overriding theme to our conversations; no one understands how the financial math is supposed to work. They are as baffled as I am, and they do this for a living.”

AI Data Centers Are an Even Bigger Disaster Than Previously Thought

An investment manager realized he made a crucial mistake — and that his grim prediction about AI investments may not have been cynical enough.

NEW: Federal judge dismisses Drake's defamation case against Kendrick Lamar storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The issue in this case is whether "Not Like Us" can reasonably be understood to convey as a factual matter that Drake is a pedophile or that he has engaged in sexual relations with minors. In light of the overall context in which the statements in the Recording were made, the Court holds that it cannot.

Gen AI can come up with B-tier generic bullshit, but it takes a human on a deadline to produce grade A creative bullshit.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

The Community Shelter site also has potential
