"People with underlying medical conditions such as heart disease and diabetes were hospitalized six times as often as otherwise healthy individuals infected with the novel coronavirus during the first four months of the pandemic, and they died 12 times as often, according to a federal health report..." While I don't believe this virus is a hoax or government plot, this virus mostly kills people that have serious lifestyle-related illnesses. If you choose to smoke, have unprotected sex, drink to excess, be sedentary, and eat shitty foods, you're at risk. If you're in decent shape, you'll have a bad case of the flu. Counter-argument is that some people that have non-lifestyle related illnesses such as cancer didn't cause their problems, but those people with compromised immune systems weren't going out anyway. So should the rest of us compromise or give up our livelihoods, football, movies, concerts, and socializing because people made bad lifestyle choices? I would hope that after this is over people might get off their fat asses and lift a dumbbell and shed a few pounds, maybe choose a salad over a calzone, but I seriously doubt that's going to happen.

I pretty much knew credit unions were the way to go, I'm seeing Penfed offering 2.99 right now for used car loans. I thought they could treat this like a refinance but I guess because it's a 2017 they consider it a used car loan. I've financed plenty of cars before, I usually just take the 1.9% offers from the dealership (I know they just find another way to screw me and make the money back they lose on that low interest rate). I've just never wanted to keep a lease before and didn't know if there were better ways to do it. I appreciate all the answers.

Completely understand this. My warranty goes a year past lease close and I can always extend it. I know that educated buyers don't usually keep these but I truly enjoy driving the car.

No, that's the RS3. That's a fast beast, I'd probably kill myself in that.

I appreciate the answer. I guess I should clarify, I’ve got an excellent credit score and I’m not poor. I’m just looking to find the best interest rate because I’m a cheapskate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nope. No banker or financial advisor.

In late 2017 I leased a new Audi S3. Kind of a midlife-crisis sports sedan since my twins were going off to UT and I was becoming an empty-nester. Figured I'd go 42 months and then get another one, so a lease seemed to make sense. Fast forward to 2020. My lease is up in 7 months. I absolutely love the car and probably want to keep it for a while longer. I have a year left on the warranty, so maintenance is not an issue for a while and I can always go extended warranty later. I'm way under the mileage allowance and the car is in excellent condition. If I choose to pay it off, the amount I'd pay is around $5000 less than the trade-in value, and probably a larger amount difference if done by private sale. So I can definitely recover some nice equity in the car. In addition, S3s are nowhere to be found. Audi probably isn't going to make them for a while which means I won't be able to find one to replace it and the demand for a used one is greater for when I sell. Again, I love this car. It drives great, fast as hell and I love the fact that pretty much nobody else has one. What am I looking at as far as loans? Is this considered a used car loan or is there a specific product for this that I can't seem to find online since I'm not sure what it would be called? Any recommendations for lending institutions with good interest rates on a 2017 car loan?

This. I'm Tier 2 level so I'm guessing I'll go from west side upper deck to end zone. I picked option 2 but I'm probably going to cancel my tickets and apply the funds towards next year.

Its showing San Jax and Manor both have availability and I choose in 10 minutes. Both same price. Not sure which to get. Seats in 107 (if there is a season).

Newest addition to the family.

Nice setup. I've got one of these and got one for each of my kids. What holster is that? I can make out the word "Romeo" on the optic, so I know it's a Sig, what model exactly?

I've been carrying mine for about that long also. It is an awesome CCW. My twins fell in love with it. One pulled a 4.0 this semester, the other just barely missed it but made the cut for the Texas Creative program (humblebrag) so I figured they deserved it.

Picked up a pair of Sig P365s last week for my twin sons. They turn 21 later this year and are taking the LTC course this weekend before going back to their apartment in West Campus. Found 1 in Austin Academy and 1 in San Antonio Academy, 2-tone gray slide models with manual safety. Between UT tuition, room and board, insurance, student tickets, and now firearms and LTC classes for these guys, I'm never going to be able to retire.

I wonder if aggy will take a World War 1 artillery piece and load it on a train to Amarillo, in furtherance of their tradition?

Scouting the Aggies: Texas A&M is a midtier regular in the FPR team projection, but the upcoming season will show whether the program can move up in class. "Midtier regular." Pretty accurate description of their ranking in everything.

On the one hand, I'm in good enough shape for almost 60 that I don't think the virus is likely to hurt me if I get it. On the other hand if I catch it and I'm asymptomatic and I unknowingly give it to someone else, that would suck. So the answer is I go to the games and you fuckers stay home if you've got health problems.

Will Son of Godzillatron be smaller than old Godzillatron?

If any of the recruits from the last time aggy won a NC are even still living, they're probably back in diapers.

I didn't intend to binge watch the entirety of season 3 this past weekend. Hell, that show is addictive. Best season yet.

No worries. When you owe a bank half a mil you are ****ed. When you owe a bank half a bil the bank is ****ed. We call the shots no matter what. aggy logic.

Twins are home from UT, each night they are re-watching in chronological order one of the 23 movies from the Marvel Universe. They talked my wife and I into watching them for the first time . Finished the films in Phase 1 yesterday, watched Iron Man 3 tonight which begins Phase 2. Damn these flicks are fun.

10 minutes ago I was supposed to take off on a KLM fight from Houston to Edinburgh, Scotland for 2 weeks in the UK. Planned this trip 6 months ago. Fuck Covid-19. I guess it's still better than being in an ICU on a respirator.

Leaving the Rose Bowl that evening I seriously wondered what the point was in renewing my season tickets. Nothing could ever come close to that game and that season.

Same with me as well. I've been preaching the gospel of the Bidet for a while now.

As a patent attorney, I'd love to write the detailed description in the application for this invention
