staringback··on States and cities decimated SROs, Americans' lowest-cost housing option
Ah yes, a micro-apartment the same size as the average American kitchen [1], how affordable!

For comparison, Seattle WA has a minimum wage around 2.5x higher than Tokyo. Here is a larger apartment [2] that is only 1.33x more expensive than your Tokyo broom closet.

Go ahead and find something more akin to the American sized apartments (500sq+ for 1 bd) and you'll see that the prices are almost the same, with much lower wages across the board.

It has the same effect as starving yourself. Go look up pictures of "ozempic face"

staringback··on Photo calorie app Cal AI was built by two teenagers
> Most restaurants smuggle obscene amounts of butter

God I wish that was true. Butter is far too expensive to do that, so restaurants will use the cheapest alternative (usually soybean oil with butter flavoring) instead.

staringback··on Raspberry Pi Ltd is considering an IPO
I can't remember the last time I actually used a Raspberry Pi. These days there are millions of cheaper, more powerful, "Raspberry Pi compatible" boards that are actually stocked. I don't see any reason to even need one of these in 2024.
staringback··on Paris preserves its mixed society by pouring billions into public housing
