I know they use software to figure out optimal rent, I just wonder how sophisticated the algorithm is. It might just use industry statistics and simple arithmetic to determine how many people will move out if rent is raised a by a certain amount, how much this will increase revenue, and how much the additional vacancies will reduce revenue. Finding the sweet spot wouldn't be hard at all. But this isn't worth much unless it also takes into account the costs of vandalism, evicting squatters, and whatever else might be involved.

Pretty sure it's still a thing since the website still works. When DOGE shuts things down they tend to trash or turn off the sites.
It's a two-sided coin. As a straight guy, watching Lucy Lawless in the Xena costume made me more hetero than ever.
Voting for Trump so things would be more affordable - how's that working out?
Or by affordable "things" do they mean like, corporate mergers and senators...?
But then aren't people who do get jobs so they can have healtcare mooching off free healthcare?
I agree with those ideas too.
The way to return democracy to the people is to limit the involvement of money. First step is to repeal "Citizens" United, the law that officially sold the US government to corporations and the wealthy under the guise of Freedom (as usual). Second, organizations (including but not limited to corporations) should be outright banned from political compaign contributions. Organizations aren't citizens. They can't vote. They shouldn't be allowed to pour money into elections.
In other news the Prime Directive is to protect your clickthru rate.
Thing is, why does it matter if something exists that hydrates you better than water? Water is abundant and practically free - at least orders of magnitude more free than any marginally better substitute. You don't need a precise and refined strategic hydration strategy. When you get thirsty just drink some water, you'll be fine.
edit: yes, this does not cover edge cases like illness or working under very hot conditions
Just say anything and add the word "rule" at the end.
edit: Normal English as in "My school rules!" or "Tunnel snakes rule!" doesn't really count. It should not have an exclamation mark or make sense, as in "Grass is green rule."
Unpopular opinion but hear me out - doesn't a nice bowl of ticks go great with iced tea on a hot day?
No idea how I got there but somehow I saw this post somehow on sh.itjust.works, about a prefab house that was found floating in the Pacific. I wanted to comment but the only login I have is on lemmy.world. Notice the post is from The Picard Maneuver, whose posts I've seen many times, and it says lemmy.world above their name.
Lemmy.world has a whitepeopletwitter community but the newest post is 2 months old. This one is from 10 hours ago. Search on the lemmy.world main page for "Minding" turns up a bunch of posts going back months, but this one isn't there.
I thought I understood how federation works but I'm stumped. Is this really a lemmy.world post? If not, what does the presence of "lemmy.world" on it indicate?

Exactly, the post is meaningless. Unless anyone believes there are fewer than 3000 homeless people in Japan lol.
