  • Omg fuckin yes. It was so awesome. It was during a brief period when mp3 hit the stage but before ipod was God, there were mp3 players that would just pop up like a memory stick in windows and you could limewire whatever you wanted for music onto the players.

    IDK if the software was Sony but the player was and you could put your whole limewire library in a small single CD per page zip up binder things. The mp3 saved on the cd was nothing special. The special was no audio players could play mp3 files at that time. Exceptions being: gaming consoles, pc’s and maybe your surround sound if it was new. Cars were still nobs and buttons.







  • That isn’t as crazy as it may seem. My main audio source well after graduation which was 2005, was a portable cd player that could play cd’s burned with compressed mp3 libraries and connected to the car’s stereo system via aux to cassette adapter.

    Idk about the portable cd player with mp3 library being common but most blunt cruises in those days were done in vehicles using portable cd player with cassette adapter. I know this is super anecdotal and specifically about the car owner class that isn’t buying new Lexus’ but I still wanted to point out the cassette deck saw extended use long after people stopped listening to actual cassettes.









  • You are so fuckin high on the anti Elon hivemind smoke it’s clouding your ability to quantify how much money he has and the fact that X is now an entirely private company. You think he is doing all the Trump shit for a bail out from a government who, has only issued a bailout that applied to privately held companies once in its almlst 250 year existence?

    Homie, I think he’s an idiot as much as the next but let’s come down from mars and back to reality. Then we will circle back and cover how much money 250 billion dollars is and how the entire presence of Twitter could leave, bankruptcy the company and still be a massive tax write off without any favorable treatment from DC beyond what perks he already qualifies for by being of the .000000001% tax backracket minority.

    It’s losing money at an insane rate and that’s with a mega election year propping it up.

    We won’t even make a stink about your typo that twitter’s advertisement revenue stream as being driven by the same mechanisms used to figure out a YouTube influencer’s advertivment revenue stream. We will call it an autocorrect oversight that your comment accidentally says the election attention and resulting increase of user activity affect how much companies pay twitter for its advertising spots and not the number of likes or subscriptions or user visits because they would be insane to agree to terms where the amount they’re invoiced is dependent on statistics that can’t decipher between bot accounts and active user accounts.

    If ya made it to the end of this and your take away is that I’m a Elon stan, re-read it or tell me why because I cognizantly tried to make sure none of my over the top satirical statements made in this reply would tip a hat or give any slight implications that would credit Elon for being a shrewd or competent business owner. I’m just sick of the fuck Elon hivemind ignoring very objective facts about how shit works in lazy replies only intended to get their shot in at beating the dead horse named Elon’s and Idiot.


  • I’ll have to look it up to he sure but I wanna say millenials were the largest population increase for a generation since the boomers. Which would make up the really close to the entire existence of the eealestate market as we know it. Wanna say 1930’s the new deal created the foundation of the modern mortgage loan. Either way, the answer is no it does not go up for every generational transition.

    It’s actually only the second time it has and will go up by the time gen z cycles to home buying in a span longer than 150 years.

    I wanna say you were thinking of this in terms of total population growth increasing but it really is more of a combo between birth rate and poulation percent change, except instead of year over year it is 15 year wondow over 15 year window or however long each generational span is.





  • Fuck that’s amazing information. I had no idea 3d printers were at that level to hold that tight of tolerances. Enough for me to look into making a purchasing proposal for a desktop 3d printer to make gages for all the warehouse pickers and packers to keep on hand for checking every order before it’s shipped. We’ve already batted the idea of getting one to use for machine shop maintenance and repairs but the roi saving needed way too much use than avg number of repairs needed per year. Add this to those numbers tho and they would more than balance those scales to the black. Plus most of the rma cost tracking we do is projected at best so I could give the picker with the most rma’s a set of gages I’ll make on the mill and lathe after work. Show a month or so of zero mistake picking and bam pile on an absurd amount of operating cost savings as rma reduction potential and well be printing in no time. Really, awesome shit. Thank you.
