  • I’d argue nah, cause JNCO jeans were huge when I was in middle school, and those are like…comically baggy. Like the bottom cuff would swallow your shoe. Even with standard jeans, boys showing ankle was a mortal sin, (for girls not so much, skinny jeans were in but I don’t remember anything specific against baggy clothes either) and it was a huge issue in the school with people wearing saggy/baggy pants and hoodies that were too big. And this was early 00s, and through high school as well. Some “groups” did the skinny jeans in high school, namely like emo kids, but they’d still have other articles of clothes that were baggy.

    I think a lot of it is algorithm based. Interacting with anything is going to start skewing the page, and it builds an echo chamber of “this generation has a bad opinion”, when the reality is not so. Everything is driving engagement, and rage is always a top factor in engaging.





  • I wouldn’t be comfortable crowning anyone outside of Bama/UGA/Michigan. Transfers have made it way harder as a casual fan to keep up with other teams year-to-year. A team that was good and up-and-coming last year could be decimated by transfers over a single year, and I just don’t have the time to keep up with it.





  • I’m hardly an engineer, but I’d say the less movement the card takes, the better. SD cards are pretty old tech now, so there aren’t many improvements to be made anyway. Cheap card, expensive card, as long as the contacts don’t corroded or constantly get worn, I don’t imagine they fail often. Photographers probably eat through them because of the transfer processes or people using them with phones/handheld games because they’re always inserting/removing them. If it just sits there, it’s just getting power and losing it, so it’s squarely on the internals and no physical wear.

    I’ve had the same cheap card in my dashcam for almost 5 years now, and it’s never failed. High and low temps every year, but I attribute it’s longevity to never removing it ever lol.



  • Additionally, if you eventually want to move, you’ll usually come out ahead a little bit. I was in a popular market, but I think we bought at 220k and sold at 320k. After all was said and done, I think we had a nice 60k profit, and we did not take the highest offer, we took one from a buyer that we knew was a family that would move in. Not a bad consolation prize for a break up, and I think we were only in it for…3 years?

    Selling is stressful, but not nearly as much as buying.
