I'm struggling really hard to see which voter is on the fence between Trump and Stein. Wouldn't it be more likely to be on the fence between Stein and Harris, or Stein and the couch?

That the buildings are owned by the collective of the tenants, which they are in this case.

200k or more is pretty normal for a unit in a coop here as well. Unfortunately.

Financialization of housing was a huge mistake, one we will pay for the rest of our lives.

This is considered standard equipment in all apartments in Sweden, both co-op and rentals.

I know condos exist,

What's your objection to condos in this case?

I live in an apartment co-op which in many ways is excellent. Highly efficient in both energy, economy and effort required from me. I'm not sure that I'll ever want to live in a house, this is probably the ideal state for me.

Colon any% no major glitches

Death, and tight spaces.

I hate statistical rigour, I want everything to be vibes-based instead

The European mind cannot comprehend this.

I'd get in trouble if I didn't use at the very least 20 days of vacation per year, and no one bats an eye at me staying home sick. These factors are completely disconnected from any performance reviews.

I don't know if it matches your desire for easy install of small disk space, but it might make up for it in other arenas - Ruby is my new-found love when making simple scripts. Being able to mostly emulate the shell integration that bash has by just using backticks to call a shell command is the killer feature in my book.

I was mostly against having the amount of ads that it blasted on me. They had a setting to turn off the recommendations, but that made it nigh-unusable.

You can do a lot of things! I've replaced the launcher and installed an altstore on it, giving me access to plenty of good stuff.

It's running Android under the hood, so any APK is theoretically installable, but most won't run well unless they are optimized for the use-case.

The correct answer is neither because neither are particularly sensible means of transportation.

Barring that, train good plane bad

32% coal vs 39% renewables, with natural gas making up the majority of the remainder - https://www.eia.gov/state/?sid=CO#tabs-4

What a terrible take.

First off, unironically yes on account of higher efficiency in electric engines over combustion engines.

Second, what grids still run on 100% coal? And why would they keep doing that long-term, given that coal is just shit on its own merits?

Completely ridiculous as far as solutions go - the only reason the cars are going too fast in the first place is because the very same government overbuilt the road.

So the alternative to not overbuild the road, saving plenty of money in the process, was always there. This just wastes money then wastes a little bit more to add insult to injury.

The demand is basically artificial since there are a limited amount of calculator models that are allowed to be used on tests at universities. Since they can get away with it, they keep charging these prices.

Fair enough.

I'd say it's kind of a good time to get into Android Development - Kotlin and Compose has made it highly pleasant and productive when compared to the days of Java and Views.

The answers about getting started with Kotlin and Compose are good, but I'd like to offer for your consideration that your app may actually be more appropriate to build as a website. Food for thought.

I didn't graduate from university.

In order to get some more money, I decided to take a TA-position at the school.

For context, I live in Sweden - university costs nothing to attend here, and you get access to a mix of governmental assistance and near-zero interest loans (at about 1/3 assistance 2/3 loans) to finance your living costs while attending university. To get this money you are required to get passing grades in a certain percentage of the courses you take, around 75% is required). If you do not meet these requirements, you lose your benefits, and quickly risk not being able to afford food and rent.

This TA-position however took up more time than I thought it would, and as such, I didn't manage to pass the courses I was taking. Since I no longer met the passing grades requirement, I could no longer get student loans and assistance, meaning that I had to keep working TA gigs to stay afloat. This finally became untenable, and I decided to drop out and move to another city and look for work.

So far, it's worked out extremely well. I've been ridiculously lucky.
