Damn.  You know you're in a joke job when Jewish lawyers take shots at you.

Exactly. Everyone is all up in your personal space in a studio. Only good if you want people joining you in your bed.

DG's an actuary. So clearly, that's not an issue.  :P

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Your race is in flux.  At any given moment there is a non-zero chance you and I are the same race or that your are a Martian-American.

Does that bother you? An ill-defined construct loosely applied?

I always found quantum mechanics kinda weird.  The idea that you exist in cloud of infinite uncertainty and only decohere into one human being because someone is observing you is disconcerting.

Not entirely on-topic but an example of what these micro-apts compete with in the city. :D

Also, I realize that I'm fucking up. I could probably make some good rent off my living room!

Studio flats in my block about that size currently retail for $250,000. I at least have a couple of proper bedrooms  :bowler:


According to this story micro units of 226 to 291 square feet rent for about $850 per month in downtown Vancouver.

I can understand downsizing that far, but not for that price. A buck a square foot maybe. Not four.
