About 44% of new construction homes over the past 20 years have had 4+ bedrooms. The American Housing Survey uses categories rather than numbers, so 4 and 5+ is the most granular we can get.

It’s a significant problem in the housing market, often called the “missing middle”, where we don’t have enough starter homes for young/new buyers to get on the housing ladder. We are only building large homes used by families who already have a lot of equity

IT’S GOT WHAT BABIES CRAVE

I ran gluetun + proton for 4-5 years. v3.41 broke the integration completely and I could never get it working. Tried both wireguard and ovpn setups.

My best advice is pin to the 3.40 release or change providers. The maintainer hasn’t address the specific problem with proton in over a year. There was some discussion recently about improvements to the healthcheck endpoint, so he is working on the project. But it’s slow going and proton is the only provider I know about that is having consistent issues

OPEC+ already announced an increase in production to keep prices down.

Close of Friday was $60/barrel. Futures markets have them at $69 late on Sunday.

I doubt we’ll see anything in the $100 range. Too much cheap shale oil from the US and heavy, dirty crude from Venezuela having a market in the gulf should absorb major supply side shocks

Edit 00:04 UTC

Early market moves in East Asian are seeing +8% from Friday’s close at $72 and $79 (different oil grades). But this might be overreaction in the east as we wait to see what happens when the Middle East wakes up. It’s still 3AM in Riyadh, so it’s slow news coming out of Saudi Arabia

Heh I meant coffee or tea

The more I travel (37 countries on four continents) the more I realize everyone is the same. For me, it’s like a mini-version of the overview effect.

Everyone has a hand wrap (pita, taco, wrap, sandwich).

Everyone has their customs that bleed into public life (religious, secular, religious-cum-secular)

Everyone has to take care of children

Everyone has a grocery store

Everyone likes to drink a hot liquid out of a mug. Everyone likes to drink a cold liquid out of a glass

Everyone has their pockets of disengaged youth who lash out at society, “normalcy” and the status quo

it’s not a weird, scary world. We are all people. We all live here. The content of my pita might be different from what’s in your taco, but it’s basically the same thing. The difference between my town and one a few kilometers away is not that much larger than one on the other side of the world. We are all people living our lives.

Sorry, swipe down to exit is the gesture that doesn’t work in the media viewer. Double tap does zoom properly

These are all P0 😉

1. Touch zone on the back arrow of the media viewer is too small and I have to get out my electron microscope every time I want to go back to list view
2. Media viewer doesn’t support touch functions like double tap to zoom
3. i want to mark as read on scroll in the c/all view (or really any community list view
4. When writing comments, there are some inconsistencies in capitalization of the first word (see the I in #3 that wasn’t capitalized)
5. Just noticed a bug when creating list items. Create an item, hit the carriage return to create a new item. Tap delete. The list number is removed but the cursor is in a sub item of the previous list item. Tap delete again. The first list element is deleted and your text is moved out of the list

These are rather nitpicky items. I use Blorp every day and like it more than Voyager, Arctic and Mlem

Well to be fair, SCOTUS hasn’t ruled on the merits yet. This decision just upholds the lower court’s TRO.

If the court grants cert for the actual case, we’d see some kind of precedent established. It’s very unlikely they’d rule narrowly and limit the scope to a single deployment since the administration’s argument is consistent across all of them.

Using national guard forces to protect federal buildings and employees because local law enforcement can’t or won’t

This ruling upholds the Circuit Court order barring the use of national guard forces specifically in Chicago.

A separate order was issued in the ninth circuit barring the use of national guard forces in Portland. That has been appealed and was waiting for this decision.

It’s unlikely the administration will prevail in lifting the order in Portland now that this decision was made against their favor.

Correct. British English typically calls it a full stop
