What is your least favorite household chore, and to what lengths will you go to avoid doing it?
  • I dated a girl who tossed underwear, socks, athletic pants, "house shirts", etc haphazardly into drawers. Reasoning was, doesnt matter if they wrinkle. She only hung up her shirts and whatnot. No folding.

    Total game changer. Laundry is now the easiest chore I do.

  • Et tu, Vault Boy
  • It's actually that a small cheap home and a large expensive home aren't much different in cost for a builder, but the second nets way more profit. So no builder wants to build and sell starter homes. Thus, housing shortage for working class people looking for affordable homes.

    Somewhat still impactful is that construction has a worker shortage, but that's probably in part cause they don't get paid enough to attract more new tradespeople. If they DID get paid enough, it would drive up prices further since builders still want the same cut and their margins aren't that crazy to begin with.

    How do we incentivize building and selling starter homes? They need to be more profitable relative to expensive big homes, or working class people need more income to afford them to increase demand at rates builders would make good money on due to volume.

    I think the growth of townhomes for sale and five over one condos is helping with this somewhat, but not enough. Many of those get used for apartments or short term rental too because those are still more profitable than just selling.

  • 750 a year? Wtf is this retard smoking. Cost for land, hay storage, water, vet, and farrier. Human time cost to feed them twice a day, get rid of or spread the shit. Blanket, saddle, bridle. You're looking at a few thousand a year minus the time sink.

  • LBJ PCM
  • LBJ was one of the most shrewd politicians the US has had as president, and a lot of his policies weren't as a result of his own beliefs but rather what he thought would politically benefit him the most. His support for the civil rights act was a notable exception to that, based more on his own convictions than political concerns.

  • Pentagon UFO chief reveals US military's new 'alien tech' crash retrieval program
  • This is downvoted already, but I don't see it as unlikely that the US has a small task force to go pick up something weird or unknown they might shoot down after officially acknowledging the tic tac thing from 2004 was real. Probably just train every once in a while to suit up with hazmat gear and load crap in a truck.

  • Are any games using neural networks for better hard AI that doesn't cheat?

    Playing complex strategy games for many years, one of the things that irks me the most is that hard AI levels often just give the dumb AI cheats to simulate it being smarter. To me, it's not very satisfying to go against cheating AI. Are any games today leveraging neural networks to supplant or augment hand-written decision tree based AI? Are any under development? I know AI can be resource intensive, but it seems that at least turn based games could employ it.
