This study I think adds to the huge pile of evidence that housing costs are a major bottleneck for fertility. When people get houses, they have more babies. So solving housing is hugely important.

But this paper emphatically tells us nothing about the actual magnitude, scale, or even sign of effect of something like “building more housing to make market rate housing cheaper.” It doesn’t even tell us the effect of something like “giving families a per-child housing subsidy.” All it tells us is “housing is a bottleneck.”

And that’s a very useful finding! But folks, this ain’t no silver bullet

Chairs were a game changer

I hope they delete it. Good luck!

AFAIU Lemmy sends your username, a user ID, and URI along with your message. That’s pretty innocuous.

Different people have different considerations.

When I’ve rented vehicles with a digital speedometer I haven’t felt like I’m missing anything without a dial. I haven’t found myself in situations where the movement of the needle helps me.

When I get into rental cars with a dial, I feel like I need to watch it closely because I’m not familiar with where the ticks are. It doesn’t work for me at all.

Before I bought a new car, I assumed digital speedometers would be available as a setting, not apparently not.

It’s the kind of thing that I didn’t realize I wanted until I had to deal with the alternative.

What are the alternatives?

Can you report the review as not relevant?

I guess I’m in the minority: I prefer to see my speed as a number instead of a dial.

Yes, it does need to be in front of the driver.

Yup. My kids wanted to try it, so I had one too. Seemed like dollar store candy.

So you’re saying the lemmite can eat it?

That sounds awesome

It’s the Internet. We know.

That’s how we got our first place. The sellers still got 2x what they’d paid for it seven or eight years before. But the price was relatively low, so we could afford it.

You’re not going to sit and eat a spoonful of jelly like a fucking goblin

Yes I fucking will. I mean it. I do. It’s delicious.

Don’t be trapped by convention. Eat the best part by itself.

Better bread is bested by buttered bread.

Why waste my time when I can slather it with something delicious?

This is incorrect.

Butter, jam, marmalade, honey, relish, mayonnaise, and mustard are what make life worth living.

Bread is like air: a medium that is difficult to enjoy on its own, but necessary so that we can have the truly good things.

If it’s online: no

Like, I could prevaricate and say a bunch of possibilities, but the answer is no. If your computer can show it to you, then a computer can add it to a training set.
