Gromnir Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) http://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/vancouver-agent-selling-3-9m-burned-house-knows-red-hot-market-is-tough-but-that-s-life-1.4796303 Housing market is nuts in Vancouver. Granted, that is a big plot am not sure 'bout kanada, but in the US, plot is for cemeteries and lot is land on which your house sits. lot. for frame o' reference, Gromnir is on a .39 acre lot in a gated community, which works out to rough 16k sqft. a 6k sqft lot is nice if is more urban and less suburban, but US and kanada home and lot sizes tends to be larger compared to european counterparts. by comparison, we got 90' (diameter) circle lots in our community for smaller/smallish houses. for a one-story home, is tough to fit a 2000 sqft home on a 90' circle. HA! Good Fun! ps is not attempting to brag if it seemed such. in more than a few places in the US, Gromnir's lot and house size would be considered smallish.

Orogun01 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Not quite funny, not quite politics... So its weird that a majority group leads statistic whereas minorities don't? I think rational thinking and common sense might be a thing of the past. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 The post doesn't really go into statistics, rather it is clearly just an informal observation. Although if bullying is a leading factor in mass shooting, which is a narrative used often, it is fairly logical to think that there would be more kids that fit the classical bullied stereotype committing these shootings. Where are the overweight mass shooters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volourn Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 "Where are the overweight mass shooters? " Any answer to this would lead to accusations of fatshaming. It is a no win situation much like when a woman asks 'Do I look fat in this?". "Although if bullying is a leading factor in mass shooting, which is a narrative used often, it is fairly logical to think that there would be more kids that fit the classical bullied stereotype committing these shootings" That is just spin. Another way to spin is to look at all mass shooters and figure out how many were bullied and how many were not. Then see how many people in the total population got bullied and see if being bullied raised the chances of one becoming a mass shooter or if it decreases the chances. Afterall, smoking doesn't directly cause cancer always but it increases the chances one will get (lung) cancer. See the key there? 1 DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Lexx Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I was working 4 days / week a couple years ago. 9 hours every day, but friday off. At first it was pretty nice, but after maybe half a year or some more I got used to it and it felt just like the 5 days workweek before. Weekend was over in a heartbeat and mondays were still crap. :D The only really good thing was that on a thursday evening, I was able to head to Berlin city and visit the fancy clubs with them boys. No stupid children around or anything like that. It was pretty nice. Such stuff just isn't possible if you have to work the next day.

Azdeus Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 6 hour days would be better. To be fair, in my case I'd prefer 8 hour workdays than the **** my employer cooks up. Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Guard Dog Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I thought this was an interesting call back to conversations we've had here earlier about the US Civil War and the controversy over the monuments and statues to confederate figures. Some of which are in odd places. But what's most interesting to me is when I read opinions that I have expressed in the past in newspaper columns. Not that I can take much credit for that. Like I told Gromnir some months back, those of us who think we know a lot about the US Civil War and US History in general are all reading the same books. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2018/08/29/missing-statues-that-expose-truth-about-confederate-monuments/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.1ee8ebb21649 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
