Lol they're mostly trailers

People didn't used to need a second income to afford a house. Now they do.

Household income doesn't show that change. Individual income does.

I'm saying your numbers are bullshit. Houses aren't actually that cheap.

Household income is absolutely not the right metric to use here, because it'll always be proportional to the cost of the house out of necessity.

For example, if the cost of a house goes up relative to individual income, then more people in the family need to start working more hours, and more people live with roommates.

Household income stays proportionally the same, always, but individual income shows you how much people are struggling.

I live in Michigan. Most of the houses below 300k are either so far out in the sticks you can barely even get Internet, or they're in dangerous and very run down areas.

There are a few nice places listed at 250k, but they sell instantly and for quite a bit above what they're listed at, so it's not like you can actually get one of them.

I know that a car pollutes...

Aside from the island, Wisconsin has 7 different towns named Washington, though most of them have a population in the hundreds.

Of course they have nothing on Indiana, which has 46 towns named Washington, or Iowa, which has 49.

I don't think so, but you can always write the file somewhere else and then sudo mv it back.

:w !sudo tee %

Of course that's impossible to remember, but you can just google "vim sudo save" or something like that to find it.

Blargerer is probably saying that because the Mastodon post OP linked to says "In 2016 the EU Commission confirmed in writing that adblock detection requires consent."

That, in turn, is probably referring to a letter received from the European Commission by the same person, which you can see here: https://twitter.com/alexanderhanff/status/722861362607747072

It's not exactly a "ruling", but it's still pretty convincing.

Fair point. I always disliked the design because ORMs pretty much always use quotes, so an entity-first approach can create a lot of tables with capital letters if you're not careful, which is then really annoying if you need to use raw SQL for anything.

Postgres normalizes table and field names to lowercase, unless you put them in quotes. It's also case sensitive.

That means if you use quotes and capital letters when creating the table, then it's impossible to refer to that table without using quotes.

It also means if you rename the table later to be all lowercase, then all your existing code will break.

Still a much better database than MySQL though.

Close encounters of the racist kind is a good read. Here's the most relevant part:

Consider the H2 series “In Search of Aliens,” which, before its demise, promoted the work of Jan Udo Holey, a German writer whose antisemitic books have been banned across Europe. (Holey’s pen name, Jan Van Helsig, is a blunt Dracula reference, i.e. Jews are bloodsuckers.) The History Channel’s long-running series “Ancient Aliens,” meanwhile, features David Childress, whose books cite and build on the work of James Churchward, who promoted an ancient empire called the “lost continent of Mu,” whose “dominant race” was an “exceedingly handsome people, with clear white or olive skin.”

The history channel is entry level nazi propaganda.

If you haven't already, try some modpacks. For extra difficulty, the packs based on GregTech are pretty amazing, like GregTech: New Horizons or Nomifactory. They make it so complicated to produce items that you're kind of forced to automate things, and then you keep expanding what your automation can do.

GTNH takes like 2 years to build a pair of star gates if you're playing alone, and they keep making it harder. It's a massive amount of content.

You're still trying to change the subject and not answering the question.

How exactly do you think someone can be anonymous to the government if they’re not anonymous to the public?

We're not talking about doxxing. Don't change the subject.
