The prices are high over here as well, when the interest rate drops again I’ll look into taking a HELOC or refinance. I’m trying to put as much money into the principal as I can in the mean time.

Mine too! There’s slight water damage to the bottom kitchen cabinets and wooden floors, that we can for too fix, as water slowly leaked down the walls, but at least we got new roof, windows and doors.

She’s doing it on purpose! the aorta moves blood away from the heart. She took the class with her as an alibi for the murder.

I remember going to my aunt’s home where they had a chicken coup. I asked why the chickens where so skinny, thinking the poor chickens weren’t being fed enough. My dad said this is a normal chicken not those super fat chickens made for their meat. So I looked into it and saw how chickens were treated and problems with their sizes. Truly eye opening.

Was that 8 balls in 9 pitches for the first 2 walks?!

I’ve bought slay the spire, factorio, binding of Issac, etc as gifts to friends as a ty for a great game. Dev gets their cut, friends get a good game. Win, win.

I love the poorly educated

There are a lot more jobs in the medical profession than doctor or nurse. It’s indoors so climate controlled. There’s 2 yr programs that start out around 60k a year.

Helped change a water heater at my parents place. Got quoted 1k in labor. Took us a little less than 2 hrs of actual work to do it. Had to buy new flexible connectors and Teflon tape. Possible fire or water damage is no joke so i understand the hesitation to DIY, but the work is pretty straight forward.

Trades are absolutely a viable option. There will always be a need.

Good, don’t forget about Estonia and Latvia you fuck.

Great grandpa was a woodworker, there’s been at least one in every generation, and some how got a hold of a late 1800s or early 1900s Stanley No.1 plane. I think it sells for around 2k to 2500. Its got wear, but it still works just fine.

I rarely use it, but it’s something that’s been in the family for over 100 years. I do a little woodworking, mostly utilitarian stuff like boxes and shelves, but I’ll never sell it. 3 generations of people used it to make a living.

Huh, I thought a space instead of a coma or period was the standard. Ex: 1 000 000

Was it Gandhi that said something like: I like your christ, but I dont like your Christians. They are very much not like your christ? I’m glad they call out these hate groups with what are effectively propaganda wings.

Nothing makes me learn as quickly and thoroughly as sheer panic and hoping someone was a stupid as me and there’s an answer already posted somewhere.

I absolutely love tinkering, building, and fiddling with things until I get it just right. Watching scotto was like offering crack to someone who mentioned they enjoyed Ritalin once. Cheers :)

Same. lurking here is like watching cooking shows on a strict diet.

Napolean from Animal Farm: "The truest happiness, he said, lay in working hard and living frugally.”

I thought VPs already didn’t really do anything, but being on the board and meeting 2 or 3 times a year is definitely less.

Then 6 months later gets a VP job somewhere else because he “has experience” all the while eyeing another run at CEO.

I wonder if there will be an Operation Paul Bunyan type incident where Philippines and Japan send fishing boats escorted by frigates, cruisers, and whatever aircraft carrier is in the area as a show of force.
