And we have like 15 storm warnings

Ben

Come to Australia. All Summer long we can't do anything because of constant risk of cyclones, and the ocean is full of mating jellyfish.

It even gets hot enough that when it does rain, sometimes it evaporates before it hits the ground...

Ben

00:10

The drop bears have actually started to move into more populated areas

murgatroid99

@badp why? It's mostly pretty nice here.

badp

@murgatroid99 You guys have the worst housing situation in the world.

There's decades and decades of forecasted drought, too.

The traffic situation is, to put it lightly, disastrous.

murgatroid99

@badp That is an exaggeration. I'm only paying like half my salary (after taxes) in rent

badp

That's because public transportation is apparently unusable.

murgatroid99

@badp luckily, Google provides private public transportation

badp

00:13

@murgatroid99 That is a symptom, not a solution

murgatroid99

@badp It's a band aid

badp

murgatroid99

But the fact is that it makes it so that I don't have to deal with traffic or public transportation myself

Frank

Holy ow.

badp

This is more recent and shows a wider area.

For comparison I paid $1.1k/mo for a spacious 1-room apartment in the heart of Munich (because the market is so crazy bad I couldn't find anything less than that)

I was a whopping 20 minutes away from my office. If I went on foot.

Frank

@badp Trying to use this site for my area provides zero data. :(

badp

@Frank I don't even know what the site is

I knew the second infographic was made recently and I just googled for it.

murgatroid99

Honestly, it probably helps that I don't really have a frame of reference for this. It's my first apartment, and from pricing advice I was given, it's reasonable given my salary

badp

I... just kinda hate the idea that half of my salary should go in rent.

I'd like that ratio to be lower.

Ben

...come to Australia...

user15026

00:28

@Yuuki Yep!

user15026

Then again I quit via email so what do I know :P

Frank

@badp I would be screaming highway robbery if that's what rent prices were like here.

Ben

roughly 1/4 of my salary goes to rent. After tax

badp

@Ben Australian immigration policies are awful.

Ben

badp

00:29

user15026

Just over 1/4 of my after tax goes to rent

user15026

ish

Frank

Currently, my mortgage comes out to...~20%.

user15026

Which isn't too bad, I suppose

Frank

@AshleyNunn Nope, that's pretty darn decent.

Chippies

00:31

you're all talking about what % of your salary goes to rent, but do you realize that a better paying job in the same area will have a smaller % of salary go to rent, than a less paying job

badp

@Chippies yes. Duh.

Ktash

@AshleyNunn That's pretty good. I was at around 40%

Frank

@Chippies I bought my place when I was making half of what I am now.

user15026

@Ktash Considering what I get for it, I am not really pleased

Chippies

@Frank so you were paying a bigger % of your salary then

badp

00:32

@AshleyNunn You're saving up more!

Frank

@Chippies And it was still only ~40%.

Ktash

@AshleyNunn Heh, fair enough

Chippies

I am not sure how the % of salary thing is even comparable when the focus is on the prices of apartments, not how much money one is making

user15026

@badp I suppose that is true,

Frank

@Chippies Because that dictates what you can and can't afford.

badp

00:34

@Chippies because I find it curious that "half of what you make goes to rent" was true both for me, an intern in Munich, and @murgatroid99, a FTE at Mountain View

that's all shrug

user15026

I think rent just sucks universally forever

Chippies

I am probably missing the point of this conversation or something

murgatroid99

@badp That's because the prices rise to match people's ability to pay

Frank

Anyways, I have to go help with teaching cha cha now. Bye!

murgatroid99

Prices are high around here at least partly because of all the tech companies

badp

00:36

@murgatroid99 yeah, but I hate what that means for my ability to save money.

Ktash

@murgatroid99 Yeah, and Seattle is trying really hard to be higher than SF

badp

I didn't waste all of my money in booze and hookers, but I still saved less than I expected.

Ktash

@badp Well see that was problem. Those are good investments

murgatroid99

@badp I'll just point out that since my salary is proportional to my rent, and both are higher, my net income is higher. So overall, it's not a bad deal

badp

@murgatroid99 Fair 'nuff.

Ktash

00:38

@murgatroid99 Yeah, but cost of living all around is higher, so you it will still come out proportional.

... There was a calculator for this somewhere

Here it is

murgatroid99

@Ktash In the end, my net income after expenses is going to be proportional to my income, and I'm fine with that

Chippies

@badp if you live in Latvia and have a good job and a tiny crappy apartment, you could be paying perhaps even under 20% of your salary, but on a global scale, that's not gonna allow you to save much

user15026

For me, what I have works for now. It won't forever (especially if I ever plan on sharing cohab with another human person) but it is good now, for what it is, I guess. I want to move sometimes but whatever

murgatroid99

Plus, I have less expenses because I eat most of my meals at work

Chippies

whereas paying 50% of your salary for rent somewhere in a much better economically situated area would actually allow you to save much more

user15026

00:40

@murgatroid99 This is a helpful thing. I spend SO much on food, it feels like, and I make most stuff myself....

murgatroid99

@Chippies Yeah, this is what I was trying to say before

badp

@Chippies bigger numbers in, bigger numbers out

murgatroid99

Really, the people who have it bad are the ones who live in the area but don't have a proportionally paying job (i.e. most people without technical jobs)

Chippies

@badp if I pay 200$ out of my 1000$ salary, I have 800$ left. If I pay 5000$ out of my 10000$ salary, I have 5000$ left

badp

@Chippies Yes, but you need to compare buying powers.

Not just numbers.

murgatroid99

00:46

The nice thing about online shopping is that it mostly equalizes buying power across the country

Though, really, most things retail for the same price no matter what part of the country you're in

Chippies

@badp Once you are done paying for your meals, transportation, services and other essentials, prices on most things are relatively similar (actually often more expensive in Europe)

if I spend 800$ of 1000$ salary monthly on necessities, I have 200$ left to save up. If I spend 8000$ of 10000$ salary monthly on necessities, I have 2000$ left to save up.

if I want to buy a new TV / PC / console / car, it would cost very similar regardless of where you are on the globe

I've done Sunday school on occasion just because I grew up in Texas, but it was never something I could follow.

I always wondered why God even cared if we believe in him. I mean, as an omniscient and omnipotent being, we're essentially to him what ants/fleas are to us (perhaps even moreso). And I never really cared what any ant or flea thought of me. The Sunday school teachers never liked it when I asked them about that.

Day 1: I just submitted my first article! Can't wait for that sweet, sweet paycheck!

Good lord finally done with assembly.

My god

It doesn't help that one of the parts I'm using is apparently defective

Or something is wrong

Yuuki

@Unionhawk Oh, you're building something?

For some odd reason, I was thinking "assembly -> assembly language".

Unionhawk

@Yuuki I'm working with a microprocessor board

So, yes and also yes

Some project to start accepting an input on one button press, confirm that input with a second, and then output LEDs if and only if the input matches the stored input

Except one of the switches on this part is stuck in the on position internally, so it registers as on no matter what

Yuuki

So my university now has a "state-of-the-art wine lab".

Unionhawk

Sweet

I'm pretty sure wine tasting is a class here.

Yuuki

I'm betting every single wine appreciation course from now until the end of time has been fully booked.

Unionhawk

Ooo, some of these mini courses sound pretty cool, actually

Though I guess several of them are "you are about to go on this trip. Here's how to not be a goddamn american"

Q: Some thoughts on The Evil Within

I recently finished playing The Evil Within. I really enjoyed it, although there were some issues regarding camera angle etc. But over all experience was simply awesome. But when I read some of the reviews about the game it really disappointed me, literally what else do the reviewers want from th...

Q: List of all games not supported on Xbox 360 4GB

Amazon seems to have great offers on the Xbox 360 4GB model. However, I've hit a road-block in trying to discover a list of (major) Xbox 360 titles that will not work on the 4GB model due to hard-disk and installation limitations. Is there any resource to let me know if a certain game X (say, Fo...

Q: Is there any mission in assassin's creed unity similar to the boat mission in assassin's creed 2?

There was a mission in Assassin's creed 2 where you had to kill Savonarola's 9 lieutenants. One of them, the merchant, was stationed on a ship, and had many guards on the ship patrolling constantly. I was wondering if there's any mission in assassin's creed unity like that.

Q: Massive Witcher 2 graphics corruption

So I got halfway through the "In the claws of madness" quest, which is not far in to Flotsam. I quit just before having to fight the first 2 wraiths and the next time I went to load the game, all the textures in the game became blurry to non-existant, like a little kid colored everything in with ...

Recent Questions - Arqade Meta: Does refreshing the site help to get new nofications?

posted on December 11, 2014 by codermaster

I was wondering if refreshing from time to time actualy shows me new nofications of reputation changes? I guess it might help sometimes if internet connections are slow or if I am on a protected proxy (like I am now). Does refreshing actualy do anything?

Q: Does a copy Dragon Age: Inquisition bought and activated elsewhere work in India?

Dragon Age: Inquisition is not sold in India, for conformance with 'local content laws'. Fallout 3 was in a similar situation, and getting a friend in the US to buy and gift it to me worked with Steam's region-locking. Will something similar work for Origin and Dragon Age: Inquisition? I can get...

@Arperum That was a latent answer

@fredley turn over pringles can.

@fredley keep your sink clean, you filthy animal!

@fredley I decided to after reading some random part of the transcript.

fredley

THe funny thing about lifehacks is that most of the situations you're in would not allow you to Google for an answer

Case in point

I mean, I don't think there's been a single 'real' question yet, they're all hypothetical

There's so many gems

@Arperum Because it's Christmas?

AND IF PEOPLE COULD STOP FUCKING UP THE URL OF THIS FUCKING WP SITE IT'D BE CONVENIENT.

WP requires a specific url to work, if you keep changing that without tchanging it in the backend, everything stops working.
