Yeah, apparently, when they are using this real page software, they are able to figure out how much they can charge for an apartment and how many apartments they can leave vacant before dropping their prices, and as long as the software says they’ll make more money doing something one way, then that’s what they’re going to do.

Are you participating in the same thread that I am?
I literally said that landlords are using software to set the prices with software in collaboration with other landlords.
I also said there are lawsuits open about this action.
I was then told not to be a devil’s advocate, and my response was, I am not advocating for anything.
Now you say that I am making excuses?
What logic train are you guys all on?
Because I am not on the same logic train as you.
Ihave not supported anything, or advocated for anything, or excused anything and yet you seem to have convinced yourself that I have, and I don’t know where it’s coming from.
Like if I’m fucking up fine, you know, downvote me. If I’m saying something that’s controversial, fine, downvote me. But nothing I have said should be considered a fuck-up or controversial. So I don’t know why people are against me saying it.
I’m literally not advocating for anything. I’m sharing knowledge and allowing others to come to their own conclusions.
I’m not in support of this practice, I’m just sharing the info.
Don’t shoot the messenger my dude
Sorry, that’s actually already factored into the cost of the rent.
The real reason why so many properties are vacant is that even though landlords know they could fill the vacant apartments by lowering the rent, there are companies that make money by telling landlords how much to set the rent for, even if they keep the apartments vacant. showing that they will make more money with less overhead by doing so, so that the decrease in hassle will justify the decrease in profit.
There are a couple of various lawsuits and actions that are going on about these companies right now, and we have yet to see how it’s going to play out. But, the cat is out of the bag, the genie is out of the bottle, the likelihood of rents returning back to something that people can afford with minimum wage income any time soon is pretty low.
I feel like even if Willie Nelson and Snoop Dogg worked together on it, they would have a tough time going through 50 pounds of weed in a couple months.
Like even if they’re crazy and they each go through an ounce a day, that’s a little less than a pound every two weeks, Which would mean that this is at least a two-year supply of weed for both Willie Nelson and Snoop Dogg at the same time.

The difference is the method of nail delivery.
You are more likely to sustain serious damage when a nail is fired at you from a shotgun than from a nail gun.
If you had to choose Between being hit in the stomach by a nail gun at point-blank range, or hit in the stomach by a shotgun loaded with nail shot at point-blank range, which one would you choose?
Force = Mass * Acceleration.
A nail gun does not have the same amount of explosive power that a shotgun does, and it is typically mechanically limited to driving the nail head flush with the surface of whatever it’s attached to.
Shotguns do not have the precision or the initial driving force of a nail gun but they have a lot more follow-through when they do hit.
There are a handful of places that you can get hit by a nail fired with the speed of a shotgun that won’t kill you, but there are many, many more places that will.

They didn’t say they rejected it out of revenge.
Maybe the teacher was a shitty mortgage applicant with terrible credit and multiple foreclosures and the fact that they got to reject the application was just the cherry on top.

I switched to my local provider from Xfinity about three months ago, and my internet speeds are twice as fast for the same money.

That is like sending an update to your phone, and if it fails, you’ll never have a phone again for the rest of your life, and you won’t find out if it succeeded for moments shy of two full days.


For work, we got some of the HP AI Ryzen Max 390 laptops with 64 gigs of soldered on 8000 MHz DDR5 memory, and holy shit, I have never felt such a snappy, responsive computer.
Like the comparison between my laptop with the 13950X and 64 gigs of memory at 4800 megahertz and this Ryzen ai 390 feels very much like when we first started getting SSDs and making the transition from spinning rust to SSD.
And I know that a huge portion of that is due to the fact that the ram is twice as fast. But still, it is simply snappy. It’s nice, and it makes me jealous that these are not computers for me, but for someone else.
