That's still not affordable. Average cost/sqft. In San Antonio Texas is $160. At that rate this house would be $105,760. The location of this home is a tiny strip of land with a dead end road slammed up against a pair of drainage ponds, and the houses are packed in tighter than sardines, and look nothing like the clearly rendered picture to advertise them. A nearly 60k markup for a shit shack is still not affordable. This is preying on desperation.

The short-term is that reddit is scrambling to try to maintain the appearance of normality. Calling for volunteer moderators (Always Were.meme), and talking about their decreased financial stream show this. The rest is gonna be longer term knock-on type effects.

Ultimately though, as many others have said, I'm here and I'm not going back, so while the bad news is a little cathartic, I mostly don't care. Will they completely die, probably not, but they are dead to me.

As well they should, but nothing will change until Qualified Immunity gets re-examined, and cops that engage in criminal activity while wearing a badge are actually treated like criminals instead of being shielded from consequences by the police union and precinct transfers.

How dare you suggest that anything other than generational indenture be used to produce veggie num-nums

I love you and greatly appreciate the potentially smelly and possibly unsafe work you do.

There's a YouTube channel I saw a while back where the guy films the process of cutting slabs. When you take into consideration the sheer size of trees that have to be used to make a slab, and then the size of the equipment that has to be used, and the weight, it's easy to see how the cost of even a clean grained slab can be through the roof, not to mention something that has artistic or desirable figuring in the grain.

Yeah, software dev disappearance I feel like would result in a slow Jenga game of things becoming more unstable until they all fall down at once. Unless we figure that the world will got completely ballistic at the prospect of multiple millions of people just vanishing, then the knock on effects won't really matter.

Those kind of extreme personalities often thrive on shouting people down though, which you can't do in an echo chamber filled with only shouty people, so they follow the ones they consider to be sheep

Yeah, the more I look at this, the more I feel like it's obvious their priority was to maximize land usage to get more units in. Unless they went hard into the tiny home methodology when they built these, the fact that there is a second story makes probably 1/5 of that ground floor into a stairwell with under stair storage that may or may not be effectively implemented, and another 1/5 or so of that upper floor minimally usable open space.

My understanding was always that kneading/folding/rolling/etc. was done to homogenize the dough mixture to form an even crumb, and to align gluten chains to increase the elasticity of the dough and allow it to retain more of the gasses during the proofing process.

Whatever method you use doesn't really matter, and the time isn't as important as the consistency reached. Getting the dough to the point where it can form a stable loaf without being floppy uneven is the goal.

You can OVER knead dough, though doing that by hand is difficult unless your hands are used to doing a lot of work like that. Typically over-kneading happens in kneading machines that are run too long, and the end result is bread with a thick, hard crust and a dense, dry, crumbly crumb.

That is a high quality render, I had to zoom in way farther than I would have thought to be able to tell.

While your right that the way past it is to literally push through and get the numbers up to break their margins, that's hard to do when the system is rigged to make it so difficult to vote it might require you taking an entire day off to do it. So many people are living paycheck to paycheck that they can't afford that, and the people with disposable income and time to do that are the old and the rich who typically vote republican. Which is the point.

Bold of you to assume that's going to the servers and not straight into the owners pocket.
