Very wild indeed. Its governments trying to regulate & ban math and code lol which is thankfully impossible.


The code in question for anyone curious, https://github.com/FULU-Foundation/OrcaSlicer-bambulab

Yeah that's the scary part about these coding LLMs.

Before, some idiot would pitch their stupid idea to dozens of local webdev companies and banks and get told dozens of times their idea is straight up stupid and never going to work and they are stupid.

Now these LLMs allows them to bypass all of that advice and create what they want without any input or even knowing how the tech behind it works.

We are so fucked lol


yeah but do you really want to live in an area that has HUD housing? Most of the time they aren't in the best areas and/or in high crime areas. also perhaps the house is gunna take 5-6 figures of work to rehab and become livable. far better ways to burn your $ unless you just really need a house ASAP to live in for a year.

That may be true in general but I’ve found through years of bargain hunting various items that there are always options that aren’t bad. It takes more work to find them, and you might have to wait a while until the right one comes. It’s worth pursuing.

If you look in rural areas they're not too bad in terms of neighbors.

But they'll absolutely have to be gutted and remodeled.


def some price/updating lags

i saw a listing that ends in 39 minutes and was at $806

i click to be taken to the listing and its $1,270.00


Fair. The sub-cron only refreshed lots in the next 24h. Tightened it last night: anything ending soon refreshes every 30min, and anything not seen in 48h gets re-checked. Should be much closer to source on endings now.

my brother in Christ, electric chainsaws are garbage, have you ever used one? I tried one out to clear a huge 3 foot wide tree that fell on my property and yeah those things cannot hang with gas powered chainsaws in any way, shape, or form. No one is using electric chainsaws for cutting anything significant.

they may have a place in the distant future but in 2026, aint no way.


Which electric chainsaw did you use?

I haven't used one, but I saw a youtube review from Project Farm. You can check it yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6FM_08066I

The DeWalt chainsaw was similar or better than Stihl, in a different series of tests, including cutting trough 10 inch logs.

There were other brands which would stall or be worse, so it depends on the brand.


I haven't used a chainsaw in a few years, but the last time I did, electric ones with a cord were great. I switched from a proper Stihl chainsaw to a budget electric one with a cord, and despite it being smaller and sort of flimsy, it did cut like crazy, comparable to the gas chainsaw. And it didn't require ear protection, didn't annoy the neighbors and didn't make you smell like a chainsaw for two days.


I like the electric saw for limbing and felling small stuff because it's light and quiet but yeah for anything bigger than like 9" or extended work it's not the tool for the job.


This is the same way I treat my 401k platform too. I never touch it and only log in to check a balance a few times a year. I opened a RobinHood acct for my own lil side pot and projects that I actively buy/sell on.


I star something that I think is cool and also so I can find it easier if I forget the name of it I can just go look at my Stars and re-find it.


is it not both?

create value because the windows have to be replaced and employees are paid for their labor in doing that.

destroy value bc they -1 inventory each time a window is broken


It's a net value loss. This is literally the parable of the broken window

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_broken_window

The fallacy is to think value was created by buying someone's labour to fix the window. This is value that's been displaced from something productive to something unproductive.

Instead of going from 0 to 1 (invest the money and create value), you went from -1 to 0 (spend money to fix the window to get back to where you were) and, overall, the value of a perfectly good window got lost.


I've never understood why this isn't obvious to anyone with a room temperature IQ and 30 spare seconds to think about it.

In other words, everybody but economists and certain philosophers. :-)
