I use Newpipe, it’s not as good as Vanced, but better than reVanced. And good enough that I recoil in horror at the stock app.

It already has?

Assuming the same density, about three times as much gravity.

Gravity scales linearly with volume which scales with the cube of the width, (3/2)³ is about 3,4.

But price increases of cereals ( bread, pasta, grains, etc.) increased by about 7,5 % last year alone, which is more than the inflation, and more than the increase after inflation.

That’s where people might complain. They still can’t afford food, as food prices increase faster than overall inflation

I would have guessed that into and in are interchangeable for this case, at least in US English. But in other contexts into is a direction, in is a position.

Falling into it includes the travel time (potentially from a great height), whereas in mostly pertains to the end state?

That would mean into and down refer to different parts of the falling timeline.

'murr’ca?

I appreciate a data supported argument, and love that you actually linked sources.

One thing that I feel is missing in most of the linked analyses is that inflation has also hit unevenly, and the price of basic goods has increased significantly more than overall inflation. Which would explain why households still have less disposable income, also the mean debt burden is much higher leading to loan costs being more common.

One percent relative what the market was at the starting point.

The market today is 237 % of starting point (probably 1990).

As a non-native speaker, wouldn’t falling in the hole be the act of crossing the opening, and falling down the hole be the rest of the way?

Head zaps are only meant to be around for the first 2-6 weeks, if it sticks around longer you should consult your doctor.

That’s also about the same time it’s supposed to take for you to feel some relief, and through that be able to actually improve your situation and learn resilience and strategies to manage your symptoms.

Make sure you take your dosage as prescribed for the whole period, it takes time to build up the ssri levels in your body, and the sooner they get up to par, the sooner the zaps stop, and you can get started getting better.

If only there was some way to leave traces and/or study left traces. Would definitely cut down on all the time travel pollution

Yes, both change roles, industries, even fields. Some have reeducated, went into business for themselves.

It’s seldom been easy for any of us, but the change is empowering, the suffering lessened, and the potential for betterment great.

What a well reasoned and well described set of posts. You are a credit to our community!

For programming, you should probably be able to copy that project design.

If you want to make it difficult for yourself, you pick a user or use case to optimise for.

Maybe you make it a wargaming centered booking and matching site (for ladders and weekly games type tournaments)?

Maybe you make it conference centre based, giving appropriately sized suggestions and showcase the rooms?

Maybe you make it for yourself and add schedule sync, or notifications, or whatever you’ve always been missing from your calendar app.

Have you seen the numbers? Could you link them?

The only thing I’ve been able to find is 2,2 million “encounters” in a high year, over the whole country.

Germany takes in a million immigrants per year by itself, and has at least a handful of encounters per immigrant to process them. Also has a bunch of encounters with illegal immigrants.

Germany is smaller than Texas.

Yeah, it’s quite interesting, but it measures encounters without defining them, and it’s very hard to get anything specifically useful for Texas.

The data does more to show that Texas are being whiny about it, than what their criterion for invasion is. I fully expect a ComiCon or similar to drive as much tourists as the whole illegal immigration thing, and that Texans travel in similar sized crowds for any holiday. But there aren’t any clear data on either, pointing to dangerous ineptitude, and emotionally motivated (or “hysterical” as it was called in the olden days) governance.

Texas is about the size of Ukraine or France, not the whole continent.

True, but it might get you far enough that you aren’t “home”, and might be “invading” a neighbouring city.

But I agree, it’s a weakly relevant datapoint, but the only other travel data I could find was that 250k texans fly for Thanksgiving, which was even less useful.

I’m honestly baffled, how do you set policy, have informed debate or even identify business opportunities with so little reliable data?

I can’t find direct data on how many illegal immigrations are happening in Texas every year, but the undocumented population is estimated to be about 1,5 million, and stable. [source]

Between 2022 and 2023, the legal migrant population increased by 10k, and eligible migrants decreased by 50k. If we assume that the whole difference is only due to illegal immigrants naturalizing, that would mean that the Texas yearly influx of immigrants is 60k. [source]

That would mean that the “invasion” requiring armed self defence/martial law is for 60k civilians.

About 10 million Texans yearly travel over 50 miles, [source], does that mean Texas is invading most of the US annually?

(also, it’s ridiculous that you don’t have clear data and statistics on this exact question. Sometimes I love living in the EU)
