> even this list kind of leans toward improving other measures as a means of increasing happiness

Since we don't have direct access to happiness dial, every advice for increasing happiness is going to be like that.

> But be warned, it takes a long time

What's a "long time"? A month, a year, 10 years?

> They're not the cheapest option

Whats "not the cheapest"? 100 EUR, 1000 EUR, 10000 EUR, more?

From their website yseq.net:

- Whole genome sequencing ultra plus (150 Gbases raw data) is €699,- incl. shipping for the sampling kit

- "The turnaround time is approx. 5-7 months at the moment."

700 EUR doesn't seem like expensive for what it is.

Barring not-yet-invented advances in automation, shrinking population means fewer and fewer people providing goods and services compared to the number of people that need them, which means worse and worse poverty for larger and larger fraction of people.

>> fewer and fewer people providing goods and services

Many of them are not needed anyway. Close half of the fast food joints. Or fire half of the IT people. Go back to levels we had in 2006!

Yes, but that is the common terminology.

That's fair, it just really hinders the conversation amongst laymen.

> Our assumption was that we were in a stealth baby boom.

That somehow evaded fertility statistics?

> people just want their recreational drugs

Yes, people want to recreate, doing all kinds of activities with various levels of risk. They don't need to concern themselves with whether you can respect it.

"General aviation" does not include commercial air transport, so that's probably not what you meant.

In Croatia, which is (and has been) seeing a tremendous rise in real estate prices, everyone talks about the high prices, but rarely can you hear about about housing shortage. Indeed, building new housing is sometimes brought up as one of the reasons for rising prices.

The economic illiteracy is just that bad.

> that doesn't affect the sound

That would be the whole shape.

I do not think the exact shape has any influence, especially potentiometer or audio jack placement.

It influences playability, which is functionality. Fender's marketing advertised the shape as a functional feature: body carve for easier playing standing up, double cut for easier access to higher frets

> I do not think the exact shape has any influence

Yes, that's what I said.

Haha I was going to say that but I thought, no, I don't need the downvotes. Lots of guitarists here (including me)

Tetris effect, but with the baby!
