        I'm finding that in this heat letting the house warm up while you're out is a losing battle. The house just can't cool fast enough to make it - pmb Jul 5, 07:38 7
        
        we're only low-to-mid 90s here, but I considered leaving the AC on low while I was at work today. I mean, I have six months of free electricity. why - amanda Jul 5, 07:50

        For the dog I'm sitting, I turn on the cold water in the bathtub and he jumps in and just lays in it and chomps at the water from the faucet. - Max Jul 5, 07:45
        
        I don't want to boil my dog either -- nm - oblique Jul 5, 07:44
        
        Agreed. It's a neat feature but really, it doesn't matter because it can't keep up in any regard either way -- nm - oblique Jul 5, 07:39
- The Solar Windy City -- nm - Max Jul 5, 07:33
Feels weird coming back to work after one day off -- nm - amoxy Jul 5, 07:30

Rents Now Rising Even Faster Than Home Prices -- (link) - ty97 Jul 5, 07:14 7
- It's interesting because I think it's starting to hurt the home sales market (when you would think it would be the other way around). - pmb Jul 5, 07:22 3
  - At the macro level, I wonder if renting is better though. It makes the workforce more mobile. -- nm - ty97 Jul 5, 07:29 1
    - too, with no promise of increase in value, there's no long-term upside other than income tax deduction. - amanda Jul 5, 07:35
  - I hadn't thought about this, but you're right that it changes the decisionmaking process yet again. one thing that I think - amanda Jul 5, 07:27
- I think we may actually be recovering. it feels pretty good. -- nm - amanda Jul 5, 07:17
- but they're already too damn high! -- nm - Max Jul 5, 07:16
