TI-Burr-Brown parts shartage?

More likely the economy is doing so well that demand has outstripped supply.

The collapse of the U.S. housing market should solve the problem fairly quickly, but if it affects you directly, you may become part of the solution ....

Sno-o-o-o-ort!

I just found out that my "post-collapse" house that I bought 13 years ago for $360K is now worth $957K.

Of course the only thing "24-foot-wide" in my house is the great room... 24'x24'. Lot size is 1/3 acre... it's pie shaped (Cul de Sac), so I can't remember the dimensions without pulling out the blue prints, but the back edge, against the "preserve" is about 130'

And the east valley suburbs of Phoenix, Gilbert and Queen Creek, are the fastest growing areas in the WORLD!

Much to the chagrin of Philadelphia, who we recently passed in size... the "City of Brotherly Love" (*) has resorted to bad-mouthing Phoenix.

(*) Isn't that a suspicious title ?:-)

How does that price per square foot, in denominations of=20 gallons of regular gasoline compare to what you paid per=20 square foot, in the same denomination?

I think the baseline for comparison is supposed to be the Big Mac.

And how does that tie into the availability of Burr-Brown parts?

Sorry to disappoint...

There's noise in any signal, so rejoice while you can. Longterm, people need somewhere to live.

Mo and I walked down the lanes into Glen Park Village for lunch and to nab some catfood. On the way down, there was an open house for sale on Sussex Street, so we did the tour (we always like to poke around in other peoples' houses.) It was an old Victorian on the standard

About 1/2 that around here....

Not unless their weight and composition are as well=20 controlled as a gallon of gasoline is.

I think she (the realtor lady) said about 2000. It was really spacious and light feeling. The original Victorians around here had lots of tiny rooms, tight gloomy little staircases, no closets, and almost no light. The trend is to practically gut them - sometimes literally leaving a few sticks from the original, so it's still a "renovation" - and open them up and lighten them up. Few people have 8 kids these days.

Here, it's not as crazy away from the coasts, but there are fewer jobs there too.

San Francisco is going insane. The skyline is a forest of those huge tower cranes, putting up dozens of office buildings and monster

Luckily, the voters here passed a referendum some years back, prop "M", that restricted high-rise development to a clearly defined "downtown" zone, so the quiet residential parts of the city won't be overgrown with huge developments.

Roughly 200 gallons per square foot here, sometimes more.

Dunno. Ask Bill S. He could find something anti-American in a trig identity.

Over a 20 year passage of time? I don't think so.

Actually, I wonder which has more calories. A Big Mac, or a gallon of gasoline....??

I wasn't being entirely serious but...

Over the short term gasoline composition varies by season, refineries here are apparently switching from winter to summer formulation. As well there are apparently formulation differences from country to country. I don't believe Big Macs vary from country to country or season to season, that was a big reason for using them as a standard cost comparison.

As far as variation over decades it's not as if gasoline formulation has been constant over that time. As to which has been more constant I couldn't say but I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be MacDonalds. How you would measure that I don't know and I'm not about to speculate.

I wouldn't eat a fresh Big Mac, let alone one that's 20 years old.
