Is it the offseason already?

Yeah, Tech STD variants

It's rare that a picture of cheerleaders makes my dick go limp.... but damned if you didn't find the picture that did it.

Admittedly, I have enjoyed your past contributions to Surly. Now you are just being an ignorant troll. What’s up with the bipolar bullshit?

fify

Get that shit outta here!! Get it together!

All Gas, No Brakes!!

Got rocked by a couple buffs

From my Zoom meeting... FIGHT!!!

Thanks for sharing!

Can I get a clip? I missed this moment, but considering I heard it was a redhead, has me curious if its my neighbor who was a GA for Tom, and got hired on by Sark.

Special Teams continues to show up. Great improvement.

Burnt!!!

@Huckleberry Got my password and whatnot to work. Where do we pay?

WTF? Wood bang!

Interior thermostat talk not going away! You fuckers that keep it hot (> 73 degrees), clearly don’t drink bourbon.

@Huckleberry Are you planning to run the prediction contest again this year? Have really enjoyed that the last few years.

Micheladas FTMFW! Colombian style...without the tomato juice. Lager of choice + Lime Reduction + Salt on the rim. Add a splash of Tapatio if you like...but don't overwhlem the fucker with tomato juice.

Purchased 3 copies. Sent 2 of them to my brother and father, along with some All Gas hats. Let’s goooo!!!

My official hypothetical thoughts on the move? ALL GAS. NO BRAKES.

Am I the only one itching for some @THUJONE paint right now? I need a cartoon to distill this shitshow into a clear message.

Its been out for about a year on Stadia. Super fun game…my son and I have enjoyed trying to fend off the horde. Excited that they are opening it up to other platforms….and hopeful for cross play.

Hey man - first and foremost, I didn't mean to target anyone or disrespect your line of work. I have really appreciated reading your perspectives on the forums, and I didn't mean to come off as ungrateful. That said, I stand by my comments based on my personal experiences...which is to say that I've met more realtors which didn't really seem to be putting the pieces together, while a select few shine brightly above the rest. Perhaps I stated it too strongly. I'm 100% on board with letting the market play out. This is the way. I just wish more realtors would simply say that, instead of "we should list your house at x because every house in your neighborhood (in the past 12 months) has sold for y / sqft". I am admittedly simplifying that a tad (a lot), but it feels like I've heard that story more often than not...and not just from the folks we have worked with. I'd love to hear how you go about valuations, tracking the rate of change, or if you just simply find a strong baseline and let the market speak. Sounds like you put in some significant elbow grease into the numbers and are confident that it impacts the outcome. Maybe I expect too much from a realtor. Maybe I've had shit luck finding good ones and need to evaluate my sources. We've actually enjoyed keeping up with Redfin. They have pretty recent updates once contracts close...not sure how they get the data so quick, but they seem to be ahead of the MLS. We have fact-checked about 10-12 local homes in our neighborhood, and they have been dead on! That doesn't mean all of them are, but it gives me some confidence in their data. If you have other recommendations for sources of data, please share for the idiots.

Any leverage to be considered here for the SEP-IRA's?

Fuck that. Most of the realtors I've encountered are fucking morons. I've learned to trust a select few, but have met WAY TOO MANY that simply pull comps - and then try to sell you on some rudimentary logic. Unworthy simpletons not willing to do any real work to come up with a compelling valuation / strategy. You'd be better off pulling "listed vs sold" prices off Redfin, model the rate of change over the past 6 months and build your own spreadsheet / projections. EDIT: It's possible I've just had some bad luck with folks, or am a bit too analytical and expect the same. We had a neighbor that genuinely thought her home was only worth about $415K a month ago. Old Milwood area and no updates to the home (it's mostly original early 80s). Her agent (also an investor / broker) recommended she spend over $15K to upgrade a few things in the house to try and get an extra $30K. Sounds logic, if the world worked that way anymore. They have a friend who has a friend that wants to move to Austin from Nashville, asked for pictures. Family offered $560K, with expectation to completely remodel the home (~$125K worth) before they move in. My point is that a lot of realtors just aren't able to mentally shift their perspective based on what's happening today, and owners aren't either. As was said above, I would have let the market dictate the value. I'm still waiting for someone to list their home for $1, Ebay style. Also, WTF. I'm starting to get offended that I'm not receiving any letters in the mail about my house.
