Covid is loving up stevedores, equipment is breaking and there aren't parts/bodies to fix it, the ports are backed up with tons of empties that can't go anywhere because full ship isn't/can't be worked quickly enough, getting loaded stuff off port is utterly and completely broken in multiple different ways, and direct rail off port to in land is also utterly hosed for many of the same reasons.

anime was right posted:buddy i love being a complete grognard when it comes to loving economics but theres no way in the loving world im watching an hour and fifty minutes of this poo poo, gimme the tl;dr an hour and 50 minutes? try 4 x 1 hour and 30 minute lectures  He is basically talking about how classical economics gave way to financialization bringing back the evils of pre-capitalism in the form of monopolies, big banks, and land lords, the Rentier class. Whereas capitalism was intended to be a market free from monopolies, banks, and rentier classes. It wasn't quite working as intended so at some point in the 1800s they tried to further tweak the system into more socialism and trying to industrialize. In order to run an industrial capitalist economy the central government needs to be strong and reduce the price of labor by providing utilities and infrastructure and keeping housing prices low. You can tell the US is heavily invested in financial capitalism because the price of labor is high as well as housing and healthcare, etc. A large reason for this is the economic schools and textbooks teach an unrealistic form of economics where every country should specialize in its own area of expertise and trade that for some other country's chosen specialy. The problem with this orthodoxy is that it produces a rentier class that produces nothing and essentially collects rent from people being alive. more or less

actionjackson posted:I'm confused, there are wildfires constantly in the west, but the midwest fire you cite was... 150 years ago? i cited it because it was the deadliest wildfire in american history. but there are lots of ongoing fires in the midwest too, like the Greenwood Fire burning in MN right now. and climate change is going to make it a lot worse: https://www.ucsusa.org/sites/default/files/legacy/assets/documents/global_warming/greatlakes_final.pdf quote:Prior to widespread fire-suppression efforts during the twentieth century, fire was an important agent shaping the composition and distribution of forests in the region.134 Fires swept through the northern the whole point is you can't just look at large swaths of america and assume the climate risks are evenly distributed. you have to look at specific locales to understand their specific risks. Even down to the specific trees and aquifers. Jack Pines are hosed, Oaks are less hosed. And so on.

In reality it needed two 2.5 ton units but Trane doesnt make the units I wanted in that size, so I had to go up. Figured the extra capacity would be good dealing with climate change heat events provided the power stays on. Lmao.

actionjackson posted:wait you have a 4500 square foot home Well I took my remote tech job to a cheaper market and I found someone's lifelong passion project which was a reproduction of the "Lightfoot House" from Williamsburg VA. It was in our price range and fit our aesthetic and I'm glad we bought it even if it is more than we need. Also the basement is conditioned but not finished. Its a basement. Only count those sq ft if you'd also count garage sq ft (our house does not have a garage).

That space is magically unusable or not part of your house? Just shut up and own up that you have a ridiculously sized house and that includes its basement. Otherwise, seal the basement off like the Cask of Amontillado.

The universe has never heard of human notions of fairness. If by some bizarre chance it did hear about those notions, it would simply shrug and keep on doing things the way it likes, since the universe cares about the preferences of one species of social primate on the third rock from a nondescript star in the suburbs of an ordinary galaxy about as much as you care about the preferences of the bacteria on the soles of your shoes. Does that makes you very, very upset? Here again, the universe will not notice, much less care. Screaming at the laws of nature may make you feel better temporarily, but it won’t budge them one iota. i loving love this guy
