Investment banks will just buy up any affordable housing.

That means there is not enough. Housing can't be affordable if a small set of organizations can have it all.

If housing prices drop and a crisis ensues, government/central banks lower interest rates and provide stimulus in the form of grants/loans/monetary expansion to prop them up. It becomes clear that the only way to make housing affordable is for authorities to have the political courage to let a crash happen.

They didn't take a large share of US housing, they took a large share of available housing. Several orders of magnitude difference.

Housing is only a good investment if supply is artificially constrained. If we let people build it banks wont want it

You mean British journalism talking about Toronto, written by a Canadian, in Canada, for Canadian media?

It is simply impossible to reduce cost of homes without reducing the money you would sell your home for, those are the same thing.

I hope you will pay more property taxes…

Globe and Mail is Canadian.

Unit testing is something large organizations do to hire more devs than they need, and make them spend more time on any given project.

CIA doesn't trust this, will use military to blow up TSMC in the event the Chinese invade. But the Chinese will just keep slowly taking over the US government, making this policy of questionable use. LOL.

> CIA doesn't trust this, will use military to blow up TSMC in the event the Chinese invade.

So, it's less a 'Kill Switch' against China and more of a 'Please Don't Kill Us Switch' against US?

Tisane.

I'm from Argentina, it's normal to do both, its a very social drink with friends. Not too higienical

I tried it, it's quite bitter and grassy. Not sure if it was the brand or how I made it, or if that's how it's supposed to be.

Straight mate is bitter. My wife and some people I've shared it with have said the same about it being grassy, I don't taste that myself though. You can also get it with mint or orange or other things if you don't want straight mate (I have these and plain mate so I can pick what I want each day). Some people add sugar or honey to it as well.

EDIT: Also, the first steeping and drink is the most bitter. After that it's much, much less bitter. Comparable to other teas and black coffee.

Ah that is why it is rebrewed. I do a mixed brew in a pair of quart jars. I fill about 2/3 w mate and water. Then I brew oolong tea and mix that strained tea w the mate that still has the mate leaves in it. I drink it w sugar. It's popular for the health and mood benefits it isn't consumed for flavor.

I've been drinking mate since before I could walk and I would disagree. It's an acquired taste but I wouldn't go so far as to say it's 'not consumed for flavor'.

I do something similar to what you do with mint tea instead of oolong for the summertime. A kind of terere cocido I guess lol.

It's too bad this wasn't written for the TI-92, which being a 68k is actually capable of blast processing.

Its a port of the Master system version which is Z80

I recently saw one of these at a thrift shop. It very well could be the same unit. I'm more into "real" synths, I was mainly impressed by the number of buttons and the dual manuals.

The domes are a pre-Islamic Arabian feature common on temples in the area.

Well this is blocked by Cloudflare for me, but it looks like I lucked out because it's just an ad.

I'm glad they're sticking these only on box buildings, other shapes might not work so well.
