Duck (aka Syd)

recently i've used the term 'anarchitect' which is not a common descriptor but it does have history. lets talk about anarchitects and anarchitecure🧵

the child is correct, parents should've bought the ice cream

also taxation is definitely theft. idk why the left tries to pretend otherwise

you all know you don't have to be on your phone for 30 minutes after every set at the gym, right?

Let me explain exactly why every new subdivision in America looks like the top photo, because the math is wild. A mature tree increases a home's value by 7 to 19 percent. On a $400,000 house, that's $28,000 to $76,000. A single shade tree produces the cooling equivalent of ten room-size air conditioners running 20 hours a day. One tree on the west side of a house cuts energy bills by 12 percent within 15 years. The bottom photo is worth more, costs less to live in, and sells faster. This has been documented by the University of Washington, Clemson, Michigan State, and the USDA. The data is not in dispute. Removing those trees saves the builder roughly $5,000 per lot. Concrete trucks need twice the dripline radius of every standing tree. Utility trenches need flat ground. A bulldozer flattens 200 lots in an afternoon. Preserving trees adds weeks and thousands per home. So the developer pockets $5,000 in savings and the buyer eats $50,000 in lost value for the next two decades. The person making the decision and the person paying for it have never been in the same room. The Woodlands, Texas is the proof of what happens when they are. George Mitchell bought 28,000 acres of Houston timberland in 1974 and preserved 28% as permanent green space. He forced McDonald's to build behind the tree canopy. That McDonald's became one of the highest-volume locations in Texas. The first office building, designed to reflect the surrounding forest so you couldn't see it from the street, leased completely. The Woodlands median home price today: $615,000. Katy, a comparable Houston suburb that clear-cut: $375,000. Named #1 community to live in America two years running. Fifty years of data. The trees are worth more than removing them saves. Developers clear-cut anyway because they sell the house once and leave. You live in it for 30 years.

ACAB also means the IRS. Like I’m being serious

I think it would be a really great reality tv show to take a couple dozen boomers, ideally recently retired, and give them entry level white-collar jobs in high cost of living cities and basically just saying "Go try to live."

Not one person outside of barstool has ever bitched about this.

@orbmombro @SkatePunkBanana indeed

@SkatePunkBanana @TheExiledDuck It would be an extreme script change since Syd did grow up vegetarian and iirc, vegan at times.

EAT MORE CARBS

@chillicothe20 it is my advice to not do this

quitting my wife to focus on finding a job

@SkatePunkBanana i would never sell out like that

@TheExiledDuck Thought this said eat more crabs and thought the crabbing industry got to you.

quitting my job to focus on finding a wife

no bro don’t buy airpods. you need the Sony WH-1000XM5-WHCH720N-WF1000XM5-CH520

how many employed people have been job searching that long or longer?

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks.

can u guys stop using ai

yea only costs $300

@JellyKind @butleriano only some?

@butleriano Every single golf course should be forced to give up some land for solar panels.

this but unironically. deserts are important, we should be converting farms and subdivisions into solar arrays.
