I also went to ROTC field training at Maxwell, and had a similar experience. Once on the way to the dinning hall with another cadet, we were saluted by two new medical officers who were very confused.

A lot of times you have to set a “deadline” when interacting with other teams/orgs, or they will just never get back to you.

Your principal and interest payment can never go up, but your property tax (which is included as escrow on your mortgage) definitely can. I live in Texas, and my mortgage will be $400 a month more next year because of rising property tax.

A reasonable US-specific problem. EV limitations like this are are why millions of people aren't currently interested in buying EVs. Compared to ICE, and EV car is more expensive, and essentially has the "road trip" feature

Iowa State is a good school, I went there and ended up at Amazon and then Microsoft. The engineering programs are pretty decent and have good student outcomes, I don’t see how going to Iowa State would be disastrous for your son’s future.

Just cancelled. The value proposition of YouTube TV was great a few years ago, for $40 a month. They've added a bunch of channels I won't watch several times, and raised the price multiple times now. I wish they had a cheaper op

“How many people have quit your team in the last 6 month? Last year?” Turnover is a major red flag. Every hiring manager thinks their team is great, so asking subjective questions like “how’s the on-call?” Probably won’t yield useful answ
