    - Yeah he could either be the new 3rd member of Imperium or help Vinci against Kaiser and Gunther -- nm - eag Apr 24, 14:14

- 2.375 baby -- nm - Strongbad Apr 24, 14:19 1
  - Same - znufrii Apr 24, 14:25
- My initial rate 23 years ago was 7.0%. Not great, but if that's a problem now, there's probably a bigger problem to tackle than mortgage rates. -- nm - Max Apr 24, 14:07 2
  - Now compare housing cost/income ratio over that same time period -- nm - znufrii Apr 24, 14:26 1
    - I'm just not a fan of trying to fix one problem by manipulating another. If prices/income is the issue, that should be the headline. -- nm - Max Apr 24, 14:37

When Apple announces its new iPad, do older models drop some or is it "ha ha ha fuck you"? -- nm - Reagen Apr 24, 13:23 2
- Both. They drop by a "ha ha ha fuck you" amount. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 24, 13:33 1
  - (though for legacy products, the official Apple refurb should be fine with a greater discount) -- nm - hollywood big shot Apr 24, 13:37

  - So ... it's a forced sale of foreign assets? Like when they sell a russian oligarch's yacht? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 24, 12:08
