IV Drips Are the Latest Luxury Building Amenity ..he was thrilled to get the service without leaving home, after he moved into the Park in January. Mr. Viragh pays around $6,200 a month for a one-bedroom in the building, where three-bedrooms fetch as much as $38,000 a month. At the Park, which started offering the service at the end of 2023, tenants can schedule an IV drip in their apartment or in a treatment room where they can also book massages, Botox or fillers. https://dnyuz.com/2024/05/14/at-home-iv-drips-are-the-latest-luxury-building-amenity/ (Mr. Viragh eats flavored oatmeal)

No it rules, pretty much any time someone talks to me about interest rates they are quoting the projection of the national association of realtors. Making financial decisions based on the trade group of the absolute dumbest motherfuckers in the economy. Also a lot of people bought in the last 2 years on 3-1 ARMS.

When I was back in the mil I was able to get a hang-over IV drip from a med group guy.

Search engines are very rapidly shifting from "riddled with AI garbage with occasional hits in between" to "completely worthless no matter how you formulate your search string". I was talking with a friend about his new mortgage on a house in Canada and wanted to check some averages -- took me more than a dozen attempts (and switching to Yandex) to find a website that actually had something resembling reputable data.

The whole point of this garbage was to generate SEO content and almost everything else is just a happy coincidence that plays nicely with investor story time. Humans were already creating SEO content at a rate sufficient to gently caress everything up, so the searchable internet was effectively dead the moment this stuff made it into the wild.

I can't even find government websites (via search, I mean, I know how to get government data the "hard" way by going direct) that would have the data, only regurgitated third parties that are just completely confabulating data. Like look at this: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1072339/average-home-size-canada-timeline/ It's just outright, obviously wrong in half a dozen different ways. Garbage through and through.

I've been using Yandex more recently too. Sometimes it's the only way I can find anything. It doesn't really matter that Google has better English indexing if it just returns garbage.

The only upside to all this is that it's accelerationism at its finest and it's going to gently caress with the internet ad ecosystem in really unpredictable ways.

Making financial decisions based on the trade group of the absolute dumbest motherfuckers in the economy. I remember getting a 5 year ARM when I bought a house in the middle of 2008. At that time it was just to shave a bit off the rate to help counteract PMI (I only had 10% down). I especially liked when they started rolling out all the various programs when I went to refinance, and BofA was just a big fat “gently caress you peon” on the program. My broker found another big bank (I think Citi) that had a better rate, but wanted more PMI money. So it ended up being a wash in my monthly payment, but I didn’t have to deal with BofA, or have the ticking time bomb of an ARM over my head. Wonder what kind of means tested bullshit will be put out there to prop up the landlords, that might allow some regular people to sneak in. Assuming real estate is a bubble that actually pops, and isn’t forcibly ejected into space somehow.

poemdexter posted:nothing better than sitting on the porch drinking coffee with a iv drip hanging off the planter hook. Ages ago, in Tijuana, they had these guys outside of the bars with these big boxes hanging around their necks - think of organ grinders. But instead of music, they were hand-cranked generators. As you left the bar, if you were a bit too borracho, for a few pesos you could grab the electrodes and they would shock the holy gently caress out of you and return you to sobriety. Of course it didn't work that way but it was pretty funny to line up with your pals and get zapped into another dimension.
