>at $8k

Yeah at 8k anything's worth a punt, eh?

Except this will never make it stateside. It's only .75 americans wide.

"Of those who changed addresses in the last two and a half years, 44% reported that they now regret moving to their current home."

44% is a lot of regret! And going to probably be there for a bit with no ease in sight for interest rates.

Bucky bringing the goods again! I had her pick and ordered the necklace. It came today and she loves it. Didn't realize the star is hinged/connected to top of the tree which is neat.

Good call - thanks again! :D

So, a user is worth way more than $2/mo for proper ad targeting and display, and that's just on amazon. So, I'm guessing at least $10/mo, probably 20?

Wow

"I even heard one of them ask a lady passing to press the button for them."

I think this is still shaking out as corps are lately starting to demand people come back. I sure wouldn't want to own a pure high end office space right now though.

>So, convert it to residential space? Seems like that would solve multiple problems.

If this is the same article I read, they touched on the structures not being good layouts for residential requiring too much upfit to repurpose and they're also often in bad neighborhoods and/or with no community.

I've piloted a new service to clients that has gone well. Make a new brand and company and start building it.

Hoping for a commercial property fire sale.

Start a new service-based business. Pest control?

I want to see my abs.

Water Cooler / MFG orders from china down 40%

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/12/04/manufacturing-orders-from-china-down-40percent-in-demand-collapse.html

"The global trading map is being rapidly redrawn, with EU-U.S. trade and investment in U.S. rising sharply as economic ties between the West and China are subjected to critical scrutiny. This year, the U.S. has imported more goods from Europe than China – a big shift from the 2010s, according to Project 44."

emphasis mine.

I remember F-Droid from years ago. Don't recall using it much but I remember it being a very positive experience. Samsung meh. Humble Bundle? Is that just for games?

I don't recognize the others.

>It happens during *recovery* from training. If you do not have adequate capacity to rest, your training becomes a negative.

Such a good reminder.

I like the stress bucket analogy. I've sort of been looking at it from a fuel/resource perspective which has helped, and is essentially the same.

"The Police Department had confiscated more than 2,000 ATVs and dirt bikes citywide, Sewell said, about 80% more than during the same time in 2021."

Lots of similar, anecdotal experience from redditors in various big cities:
