enervate | 7 years ago | on: Poll: How do you pronounce “tuple”?

I read this word before I ever heard it. It looked like Quintuple to me, so that's how I pronounced it.

Isn't less better when hot air drying? In my experience when I've had very small loads due to accidental spills they dry quickly. I do understand that more water dilutes detergent, though.

I buy the tide unscented stuff, and its cheaper per unit, and I have a subscription set up from target. Maybe Frey isn't for me, but I feel like its too expensive. I feel like my opinion matters in this because I am a man.

enervate | 7 years ago | on: Nation’s top three most expensive places for renters: all in Bay Area

When all the boomers sell, the sudden influx of houses on the market is will lower prices so that people like me (I'm in my early 30's) won't have to pay a million dollars for a 2 bedroom condo. On the other hand would falling housing prices cause another recession (I'm no economist) cause me or other people like me to lose their jobs and not be able to afford a house anyway?

I guess now we know how that beginning scene in altered carbon could work

I used to make a joke that the great filter is actually a species inventing cryptocurrency, but now I'm not sure its a joke

I took a resume like this to the career center at my university and got out of that appointment with a lot of disappointment.

what about REITs?

Are they just sitting on it until the price goes up? Why not sell for whatever they can get and then re-invest the money?

Is this just dark humor or are cyclists just gregarious?

enervate | 8 years ago | on: Building a backup bee: A novel replacement for the embattled honeybee

it's probably non-native to California and would probably compete for the same ecological spaces as other native bees. FWIW, I'm guessing because I couldn't find anything with Googling.

Probably. NPR ran a story on the radio a few years ago about immigrant workers in geogia and how it was difficult to find people for this.

fwiw I was once browsing jobs wondering why one in particular had such strange hours and requirements until I realized that the search had also returned results for what amounted to security guards

enervate | 8 years ago | on: Garbage collectors open a library with abandoned books

I put a hold on books I want on my library's website, then go pick them up when they're available. I spend less than 5 minutes inside it during a visit. I can buy books, but I just don't have the space to have a copy of any book I was or am curious about.
