I have something similar. Half of my body is slightly “different”. My skin tone is slightly darker, the hair grows a bit differently, and now that I’m in my mid 40s, may hair is thinning a bit differently.

My eyes even see slightly different colors (my left eye views colors more “warmly” with a redder tint).

None of this is noticeable to anyone but me. Thought i was the only one!

Wasn’t common to me.

Wife and I are married. I still withhold as “single” and we both claim “0” dependents despite the fact we have a child. Still ended up owing like a grand.

Only four men in history have won four national titles in NCAA wrestling history.

Spencer Lee was thought of as a “lock” to become the fifth. Hadn’t lost a match in 2+ years, was on a crazy 50+ match win streak. Nobody was coming close to beating him in the last few years and he was smoking people left and right.

He beat the pants of this guy earlier in the year. This was only the semifinals and Lee got pinned. This is being considered one of the biggest (if not the single highest) upsets in college wrestling history.

I was watching with my wife last night and she asked: “is this like Michael Phelps losing a swim race?” I looked at her and said: “it’s more like Phelps drowning…”

I think the number of people still complicates things.

What happens if one of the 4 people pays in for three years the leaves? Do they get equity? How much? What about repairs? What if the roof needs replacing or the hot water tank or AC goes? Who pays when someone punches a hole in the wall? Should the two people that "pay in" get more equity? They are the ones taking the risk.

Given home prices are at an all time high, what happens if the property takes a loss after 4 years? What if someone doesn't want to sell at the end of 4 years?

As everyone else has said, this is not a great idea.

Like, enter your number as the wi-fi password?

How does that work? Every recorded t-mobile subscriber has their number input as a password?

My usual post in these threads: Find a service in your area before you need it.

I called a service in my area and was told they usually cannot do "same day" appointments. This made them unsuitable for my pets since they each needed immediate care. Also, they tend to be a bit more expensive so that may be a factor.

I've used the same vet for over a decade so all my pups are relatively familiar with the location and practice, which helped immensely when the time came.

There's been some in specific subtypes of depression (e.g., depression associated with cancer).

An enormous issue with placebo control is that its exceptionally easy to break the blind. The article in question doesn't appear to be looking at efficacy data though. It's an epidemiological analysis involving self-report use, which is quite different than a clinical trial.

There has got to be a ton of compression, right? I’d think this really detracts, especially for larger sound systems.

As someone else mentioned, you need to have a frank discussion with your partner. Generally speaking, when you co-own the house, you split it 50/50. Keep that in mind for future earnings, career goals, etc. Over time, there will also be substantial financial obligations for the home as well. How do you plan to pay for larger expenses such as a 10-15k roof, AC etc.?

For a personal anecdote, my wife and I’s income is close, but still about 60/40 (e.g., I make a bit more to provide 60% of our household income). If shit hits the fan, we split the house straight down the middle. My rationale was easy: if we did split up, I’d have a lot more to worry about than the house.

Saw?

Wait, I think thats three guys...

A comparator group would have done this study wonders.

I’d like to think so. Personally, I think learning and being encouraged to read at an early age really developed my reading comprehension and writing skills. Decades later, as a scientist, a lot of my job is interpreting and writing about science. Reading certainly helps that.

How does one determine the attention span of a goldfish?

Excellent rebuttal. Come back to me when you have the cognitive capacity to formulate an argument.

We can argue semantics indefinitely. When something is “unaffordable,” the price is too high for you to purchase. Millions are paying for housing in Singapore. It probably sucks, but if they couldn’t “afford” it, they’d be kicked out and unable to live there.

If I don't pay my mortgage, my home gets foreclosed. If a tenant doesn't pay rent, they're evicted. How can someone "not afford" their living expenses, yet simultaneously live there? As is the case with millions of people in Singapore?

Your point about real estate is spot on. As prices rise, fewer can afford it, so they leave. So according to this logic, if 5 million+ people live in an area...

Singapore's population is just now starting to decrease, so yes, so some people, it appears its becoming unaffordable.

If I don't pay my mortgage, my home gets foreclosed. If you don't pay the rent, you get evicted. By definition, how are people living a place they cannot afford?

Is the cost of living so high it probably sucks ass to live there? Certainly. You can find plenty of people living in closets in NYC for ridiculous prices. Looks like a shitty living situation to me, but they appear to afford it.

Eat shit. Yes, the cost is rising. Millions of people still live there. Ergo, they afford it, unless you’re dense enough to imply they live there free.

Google tells me 5.4 million people live in Singapore. Seems like some people can afford to live there.

...and I bet the 15 subscribers are pissed.

Or, not different from non-users. Like the study found.

I thought getting a job in 46 applications was pretty good tbh. The tough part about applying for PhD level positions is that that minimum requirement is a PhD. So every applicant has one.

I finished mine about 15 years ago. It was just before pretty much everything went online so job sites weren't hugely popular. Nonetheless, I put my CV on monster.com hoping for job prospects. I think it was only about a day until I got an email with something like "join our team!" in the subject line. I enthusiastically opened the email, dreaming of how high the pay would be with my fancy new PhD.

It was an offer from McDonald's letting my know I could be a manager. Now, there's nothing wrong with McDonald's, I had just hoped for more with an advanced degree.

So how would this compare to say, any other point in history? I see a lot of red, but there’s now way for me to tell if it’s abnormal or not.
