> If you increase interest, prices will (eventually, slowly, since this is a seller-dominated market) fall to match. That may “fix” home prices but not the important thing to most, monthly payments.

I beg to differ. Every government agency I’ve worked at will gladly pay SQL server license fees.

I’ve done oil changes decades ago but don’t bother anymore since I don’t feel like jacking the car up but using an oil extraction tool from the top does sound intriguing. Can you replace the filter from the top or does that require a jack?

The gov and insurance company will still want their taste. I think my escrow portion is probably at least 1/5 of my mortgage payment.

Youtube premium is like $15/mo. I believe it was more for the family plan I used to have. I canceled it like a year ago and don’t feel I miss it at all. I just don’t think Google is a company I should ever give money to directly. If so

I’d prefer to see a solution provided by technology that negates surveillance. Could be a very lucrative industry to start selling Bond style tech to the masses.

A bit hyperbolic. I’d rather walk outside in Phoenix in July for 20 minutes instead of 10 minutes in Tampa.

It’s not great for everyone but if you have kids with braces, family members who need yearly glasses, consistent prescription costs, etc then it is pretty easy and worthwhile.

Love this. I am also 45 and been a beer loving “alcoholic” since me mid 20s. I was rail thin until maybe 22-23 and then gained around 40 pounds over the next several years. I’ve lost maybe 20 of those pounds once and looked and felt great b

I live in a very suburban neighborhood in Arizona and we have 2 neighborhood parks within a 2-3 minute walk. There are 2-3 more parks in the 5-10 minute range. There is a 10 minute walk to 3 grocery stores, a bar, many fast food restaurant

I don’t really want my kids have that much personal freedom because they’re kids. I live very suburban and my kids could walk to one of the neighborhood parks (2-3 minutes) or to a friends house but I don’t see them needing more than that.

All of that could potentially been avoided had Joe Biden decided to pick a popular and well qualified running mate rather than a diversity hire that checked certain boxes. Go read opinions on Reddit and they seem to think Biden was right an

Democrats have learned that 2 of last 3 elections. Based on what I’ve read here and Reddit I am not convinced the lesson has stuck.

I find this mentality very strange but maybe it’s because I don’t have as much saved as I’d like to have. If I were out of work I’d find significant motivation to do whatever I could to pass an interview and at least make some money while l

Private driverless cars will surely be a thing in the future because people will want them and be willing to pay for them. I sure would buy a Waymo style car if I could. I think it would be cool if they could drop you off at your destinatio

> That's still a massive win. To replace 10 single family homes supporting 2-3 people each with a 9 story building supporting many multiples of that is a win for society. Not if society wants to own their home.

Yeah they currently could sell their 4 bedroom and buy a 2 bedroom for the same monthly mortgage because the high interest rates. No thanks.

Yup. And if Anthropic CEO or whoever wants to drive down to the library and check out 30 books (or whatever the limit is), scan them, and then return them that is their prerogative I guess.

The point is you never pay tax on that money. 1. Your contribution is pre-tax 2. Your growth is tax free 3. Your withdrawal is tax free as long as you have receipts for qualified expenses. I personally don’t have an HSA because it seems l
