Incredible that the builds were ever 10min. How far things have regressed.

They should just increase the taxes on rental income to make it less profitable. It's too easy to be a bum landlord.

Higher rent means more people will opt to buy. That's not necessarily a bad thing in perspective. Assuming the other side effect is a decrease in costs due to a lower profit margin.

Why's this so highly rated. Y'all don't know that fast is good?

Love that this company is still around. I've seen some of their rolls in the wild but assumed they were long gone!

I went to maybe slightly above average high school for my area and didn't have one. But there were programs where the school partnered with community colleges and students maintaining decent grades could attend classes elsewhere. And those had shop as well as other vocational programs.

They probably sent us home with a pamphlet with information at the beginning of the year, but I don't remember.

I usually wait 6mo to a year in order for composer dependencies I use to get updated. Then its usually a trivial upgrade. I've upgraded sooner before for simpler projects though and things are usually pretty stable upon release.

Modern in software terms almost always just means recently written. Last couple years. It's a pretty useless adjective to describe software.

E.g. sqlite probably wouldn't be called modern, but everyone loves it so who cares.

This is nothing new or exclusive to Roblox, I recall this sort of language in every online gaming platform.

for a long time it hasn't been a software problem. It's been a reputation problem, the only recent change is we're more interested in the domain then the IP now.

I've been using mkcert for ages now for local development. Free, open source, and works offline.

Why use any service for this?
