  • This. I work in commercial real estate and it’s kind of hard to turn into house. It’s cheaper for them to just knock it down and start over.

    The issue is the electricity and plumbing. In a commercial building these tend to run up and down the middle or just one side of the building. Apartments need to equally have access to utilities so they’d had to do a ton of construction to move plumbing and wiring into the correct places.








  • I grew up pretty close to St. Mary’s. It’s a small town, probably like 3k people sorta between Topeka and Manhattan KS. A bunch of St Pius Catholics moved there and now they fight about it with the original citizens.

    Keep in mind, this isn’t far from Westboro Baptist Church and a surprisingly large population of Mormons near Kansas City. Honestly the fact that they didn’t support this guys is pretty wild considering.

    Small town KS has been increasingly left moving. My gay aunt was elected mayor of a different small town. The raid on the newspaper, has people rolling back (some) support in police, and while driving on some backroads near cattle farms, I saw a large amount of signs supporting Biden vs Trump in the election. It was pretty surprising.






  • I just got one for around $600 in the US on Swappa. I tried to get one cheaper but couldn’t find it where I lived. Anyway, I’m super happy with it. I made sure it was a low number of battery cycles and it’s in near mint condition.

    The other day, I was coding in VSStudio, debugging JavaScript in Chrome with multiple tabs open, and logging issues I found on a template in Excel. Excel alone makes my work computer freeze and I didn’t notice a single slow down on this thing. It was fantastic.

    I don’t love the way Mac handles open-window management but aside from that I’m very happy.
