you can think of the prime interest rate as being the cost of money. high interest rate money is expensive, low and its cheap. Because its the cost of the loans. Its actually not expensive now I would call it about normal. we have been running cheap for a long time now before recent times. at or just above zero.
Whenever anyone talks about how high interest rates are now, I remember when my wife and I bought our house in 1997. We were pre-approved for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage at 7.5%, and we were told to take it.
What we were actually told was, "you’ll never see a rate this low again.
Usually “expensive money” means that it’s hard to borrow.
“Devalued” refers to purchasing power. “How much food will $1 buy me?”
They’re describing different things. In terms of the economic relationships that result in the current scenario, I’m not even going to try. Ignoring that we don’t really know and a lot of traditional economics rely on the assumption that actors are rational (which we now know is absurd), I’m far from an expert in macro-economic theory. Systems are complicated.
Ah, I see. So being “devalued” is like mixing base metals in your gold coins, while “cheap money” is like loaning out the treasury. Both contribute to inflation, but in different ways.
Not quite. Cheap money is more that a loan doesn’t cost that much money to pay back. It isn’t the treasury loaning out the money, but individual banks judging based on inflation.
The thing with trying different distros drives me a bit nuts. If you’re getting consistently bad results across so many different ones, then you can see how distros don’t matter all that much after all. What really matters is your hw config combined with software config. Stop trying different distros expecting that some of them will maybe do something differently, stick to one and try to figure out the problem or ask for help. Only resort to other distro if you know that it will make something easier (eg provide more up to date packages).
You said what’s your hw configuration, but not much about how you handle NVIDIA drivers. By default, your GPU will run on open drivers built in Linux kernel called Nouveau, combined with OpenGL (and for your GPU that’s it for now) implemented in Mesa. This is enough for basic things to work, such as the desktop, video playback, office applications, but not necessarily games. For that you need the proprietary NVIDIA drivers. Check manual of your currently used distro for how to get those drivers in place. For your GPU even the newest drivers are available (560), so it’s good if your distro offers that. For drivers older than 555 series, use X11 session instead of Wayland.
I would watch this show but it needs some kind of overarching plot where at the beginning of the episode he’s in a space ship that pulls up to each world and he gets beamed down or something.
And they’re most likely too liberal to even understand that the US literally caused this entire situation for no reason except jingoistic racist imperialist greed
I would like to vote but most states require you to spend at least six months in the state and as a traveling nurse who usually signs three month contracts its kind of a bitch. But I always harp on my brothers and mother to vote.
I knew a drug dealer back in the day, he was dealing a lot, I was always amazed he didn’t get busted. He drove a pimped out car with a badass system in it, rims, tinted windows, and lowered. A bunch of police officers would hang out where I worked (an auto shop) and dude would drive by and the cops all said they KNOW he’s dealing they just can’t bust him, every time they stop him, he’s clean. I told him about it and he said "Pfft those idiots think I’m dumb enough to deal in this??? Shit, I have a normal car in a rented for cash garage across town I use.
It was plain jane as it gets, not trashed, and not clean. He’d put some shit in it from his mom, some work cloths, and a worn out pair of boots I’m pretty sure he got from somebody else.
No need to answer but where was this at? Cause I had my dealer at the time on speed dial and he would do the exact same thing so just curious. My guy was named Don…and no he wasn’t in the mob just a big pothead.
That sounds about how it went with the guy at my HS in Canada. Guy had an illegal exhaust and would get pulled over all the time, but if he had another car like that, that makes perfect friggen sense. The rumour was dad was mafia related.
Wouldn’t work with surveillance nowadays, but in the 00s yeah.
I just watch shows on a few apps with no ads. Britbox and Acorn are my go tos. They are premium but total about $15/mo. Also PBS app but there are a couple of ads as shows begin.
