  1. I say the same thing. However, although the sale pricing of the property has doubled, the value hasn't really changed since the money (if I sold right now) doesn't buy a more grand place. Capital gains are only realised by wealthy speculators who buy multiple properties.

  2. Our current home has doubled in value (at least) since we bought it nine years ago. We are in a very small rural town, you could call it a hamlet, and I can see no reason for that sort of increase. Fortunately, all our five kids are now approaching or past 50 years old and have paid off their hex debts and most of their house costs, but the grandkids are entering a very different world.

  4. No it doesn't. Take 12 houses for sale, 10 @ $1m, 2 at $600,000. The average (mean) is 10 x $1m + 2 x $600K = $11,200,000/12 = $9,333,333 The median is $1m + $600K =$1.600K / 2 = $800K

  5. I watch a lot of Youtube but not the AI stuff. Currently watching Engel's coach shop, the Armour museum in Cairns, and the BBC Trump report. I have found that they all get stale after a while. I have given up on the flying ones except for Blancolirio on accidents and Trecanair Flying for Fun, which is about maintaining and flying old homebuilts in Cornwall.

  6. Were they all related? There's NO privacy in small towns. Can be very Boring also, and hard to get things done. Everything costs More and woe Betide you IF you are different. You have to travel for education, or specialist Medical services. No good Jobs for the Kids. Nev

  7. A couple of things I notice with AI-generated voice-overs. The voice-over very often trips over "lead". The mistake is in the use of the long or short 'e' vowel sound. It will give 'leed' when the correct sound should be 'led'. Another sure sign of AI generation is when the voice-over falters of there is a full stop or comma in what needs to be said. It often happens with 'U.S.A." or when saying a number in the thousands where there is a comma such as $60,000. As soon as I hear one of these mispronounciations I click out.

  9. Anywayyyyy, same same. None of this bsing on here does one damn thing. As l said a few pages back. Forget all your gripes and begrudging of whatever you think of the younger generations now and l actually agree on some of it with a good portion of them myself anyway. IT's about our useless pollies and them running our country into the dirt. And that's all in the numbers, easy peasy, they're a disgrace and they're destroyng what's left of us, simple as that.

  10. Sorry, Red, but you have it wrong. The mean is the mathematical average of all numbers in a data set. The median is the exact middle value of a data set when the numbers are sorted in order. Here is an illustration where the an original set of scores has two more included. In the illustration, the numbers 75.5, 83, and 41 &90 are obtained from the original data. The numbers 73.1, 82 and 42 are what one gets after inculding the two extra scores. We give a stvff because a lot of us here have decided that accuracy in posts is important. That is why we like to see where the support for a comment comes from. In my post here, the diagram comes from a Google search for the difference between 'mean and median', as well as the fact that back in the day I did a course in statistics at Uni, and the topic is usually included in high school Maths.

  11. Yeah, but half the families around me when I was a kid, couldn't afford a mortgage, either. Yes, I'd like to see better housing availability. And I'd also like to see fewer entitled people expecting someone else to solve their problems for them.

  14. Mean is the average. Median is halfway down the list between the highest and the lowest.

  15. It's not just housing. The ratio of working age people to retirees continues to drop. It's only fair that income from assets is taxed at the same rate as income from labour.

  17. Did you know that USA is a land of strangeness? Well of course you do. BUT did you know this strange law? From The Britannica:- Presidential $1 Coin Act: This 2005 law outlined the circumstances for creating a series of $1 coins honoring American presidents. The law explicitly stated, “No coin issued…may bear the image of a living former or current President, or of any deceased former President during the 2-year period following the date of the death of that President.” Actually the law dates back to the 1800's. Any of youse bush lawyers care to comment on the Trump coin?

  19. Yep, lets all get all technical on bullshit that doesn't even matter. Out of everything said and going on in your country, you two are all caught up on some bullshit term that means much the same thing anyway. 🤣
