Ah a fellow cynic. I also have no faith this will solve the problem. My issue is that this is all coming way too late. I personally think they've gotten all the easy money out of the system and realizing that the housing market has hit a temporary peak. Now it's safe to pass this bill and allow politicians to get brownie points. Atleast in my area, I'm hearing of way less stories of families being beat out by cash offers 200k over asking. Which was the norm during covid.

"TAKE A LOOK AT MY DOWN STAIRS MIX UP!"

That price held untill atleast 2012, that's a solid 5 dollars of increase in just over 10 years. I could totally be talking out my ass

No disrespect but my brother in dank, maybe take a solid T break if u can't smoke some buds and get high.

Cause then it's hard to just lie to people and rebrand a strain with a catchy name and make it fly off the shelves.

Doesn't mean meta isn't already tagging every face it can and logging them then selling the data

No shade on ur whole thesis but "Wheel of Fortune" for the Sega Genesis did let u play as a black woman and also came out in 1992.

Narrator - "it wasnt"

I was gunna comment that this man might have strayed a bit far from his main quest line, but he signed off on that post as "Center Star" so I think it's safe to say he's right on track.

"researchers did not take into account the details of internet activity" seems like a pretty big hole in the study...

Maybe it's cope, but something smells fishy. From the article :

"The analysis, which examined data from 24 studies and was published in the journal Heart, also found that marijuana use was associated with a twofold increase in the risk of death from cardiovascular disease. While this data only shows a correlation and cannot prove that marijuana caused these effects, it is well-established that the drug can raise blood pressure and heart rate and alter the heart’s rhythm,"

"The new analysis didn’t examine how frequently people used marijuana; it only compared people who had ever used marijuana with those who had never used it."

Call me crazy but a study that qualifies one time use of a wee bit of jazz cabbage equating to a twofold likely hood of death from cardiac issues, (the most prevelant cause of death in the world mind you, NBD) makes my bullshit meter freak out like a drug dog at a Greatful Dead concert.

This could be true, but it comes off as shitty science trying to push an agenda. Maybe the 24 studies that they analyzed were not funded by shady money trying to keep the sticky icky out of the hands of the people, but my gut is that isn't the case.

Man what's that saying that scientist are always on about? Something about how correlation doesn't imply causation...

I originally had a reactionary response to this... Like why should the burden be on Architects. Most of us would love to make a building as efficent as possible, but at the end of the day it all comes down to who's paying. Sometimes no matter how much u try to educate a client they don't care and will barely be swayed with "it's not to code" as a reason. There's sooo many people above us with more power pulling levers and making decisions and we're lucky some times to push a client in the direction of more sustainable (and expensive) windows that are above code minimums.

Then I read the article, and after pulling my head out of my own ass where I was apparently throwing myself a putty party, I came out agreeing with the author. Although we do not usually hold much leverage, even with organizations like AIA and Ncarb, we do have a unique position of understanding the complexities of how things go from being design to built should use that knowledge to help inform and guide movements for the betterment of the environment. For example, even if IEEC insulation regulations go up, it is up the the individual municipality to accept them, same with all building codes, and I can tell u there is Wide variation depending on how liberal the municipality is and this can be just from county to county.

So while I want to blame everyone else that is responsible for allowing the wrong codes from being rattified or rich developer for skimping on windows and insulation(still legal cause energy codes) in a high rise, it's on architects to educate and try to push the system from the bottom.

This man exploded 3 seconds later, those are gas lines

Shits gunna hit the fan real soon, snow pack levels are under 50 % of average this year. No way lake mead is gunna get enough juice to fill up all those toilets in AZ.

Ya know, if this is how we bring along a universal exceptance of electric vehicles and improved electric grid infrastructure, it would be such a great silver lining.

Lets not let the Ai cook please

Calling that dollar store rice paper fiasco a "cookie" is an insult to every actual cookie I've ever haf

This chaps my ass almost as much as the beefy 5 layer burrito

Can't read German, but I feel this in my soul

Yeah, they have(had?) a caste system that was pretty heavily based on skin color in India. Or atleast that's what I recolect
