I think "are caused by" is too strong of a descriptor. It's more like zoning laws contribute to high housing prices. There are lots of factors that determine the cost of housing and zoning is just part of that.

The article doesn't mention anything like causality. From the article:

Restrictive land use regulations and zoning laws have been linked to higher housing prices, reduced construction activity, and a decrease in the elasticity of housing supply.

I didn't know Mordor had a football league.

But.. it's the states that run elections, not the federal government. This doesn't make any sense.

I bought a copy of Gender Queer recently because I found out it was getting banned. It's a great book, highly recommended to everyone off all ages.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. I love talking about politics. Oh wait, I think I'm that family member.

For the basics of programming, just pick any language to learn the syntax. Once you know one language, it's pretty easy to work with anything else. I'd recommend JavaScript or Python for that, but really anything is fine.

For advanced programming, the best thing you can do is learn to learn. Really than means being able to turn your concepts into concrete ideas that you can communicate into something other people will understand. Try taking a concept and doing Google searches for instructions on how to do it. Take other people's code snippets and make them work together for what you want to do.

Specifically regarding your desire to self-host something, pick a service and Google "how to self-host x". Maybe set up a PiHole or an Immich server for photos. Docker is widely used for easy portability for servers, so it will help if you learn how to use that. When you come to something you don't understand, do more Google searches and read everything, even if it makes your head spin. Read every bit of documentation you can and keep doing Google searches. Eventually, with enough iteration, you'll get something to work. Good luck!

Maybe it'd help if they released it on Steam. I went to buy it the other day and noticed it's only on the Epic Games store. I already made that mistake with Assassin's Creed Valhalla and I won't be doing it again.

That does look good. Thanks, I'll keep this one on my radar.
