    What?

    Some random numbers that are of course VERY variable, but I just ran the calcs with 400k, 5% down, 6% APR for 30 and 50 years

    $2648 for 30 years $2369 for 50

    Now that is of course not a great deal, presumably you’d also get a little better rate for the longer loan (more points) but it’s not a dollar.

    Edit: wait you’ll get a better rate for the shorter term loan, so this will probably further close the gap. Still not to $1 surely




  • Oh man I love games that are just games. You pay a price, you get a game, you play the game.

    On the turn based side we have Slay the Spire, Slice and Dice, and Lost in Fantaland. All kind deck builders but with pretty different combat. Great games with lots of depth. Also Kingdoms Two Crowns by Raw Fury is an incredibly good game. But a little more real time. I can say great things about all of them.

    On the heavier note, fucking Subnautica has a mobile port now, which I hear is good. Of course you have Stardew Valley for a farming sim.

    On the annoyingly spammy with pay to win features but still good games underneath, all the Ironhide games are good, especially the tower defense ones (Kingdom Rush)


  • Yeah, I feel like engineering has firmly held the place it “should” across many many societies. Rarely anything other than a respectable middle/upper middle ground, but generally considered necessary and important.

    Come on societies just let us run the place for a little. You’ll see a lot more trains


  • I guess it just proves how integrated germ theory is to at least me now. Like if I have something on my hands I want to wash it off, but I need to wash it off before I eat or touch my eye or anything like that.

    Also doctors are a weird thing class wise, because they require a ton of schooling and smarts. But also back then, it was pretty “dirty” (if not hard) work
