All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
I’ve rented to 3-4 with our Airbnb during the offseason. However, we never got 2 chicks at once, only whole house rental on our 2-1. As far as renters go they were fine. As far as keeping the place rented all the time and dealing with STR headaches, well the property is a long term rental now (mostly Airbnb / vrbo headaches though)

Media Bias
1. Sock gets banned. 2. New sock gets made. 3. New sock acts normal to build some rep 4. New sock starts just asking questions outside of CR 5. Go back to 1

Surly Dad Thread
I need some phone advice help. Daughter just turned 12. Wife wanted to get her a phone for Christmas despite for months me saying she’s too young for a smart phone. Wife got her a Gabb phone. Rules were set. Rules were broken - and not just in an accidental way but a trying to get away with things way. Phone part of camera was abused (nothing sexual). Anyway, look who was right, wife went nuclear option, she’s too young for a smart phone now. We still like her having a phone that she can take with her when she goes out to play. That was definitely nice that we copied let her roam a bit farther on her bike (and her younger birthed). Any recs for a no camera / internet phone? The flip phones look good, but I haven’t seen one that has a text monitoring option.

Temu: the Amazon of cheap shit people don't need but will buy because cheap prices
I use wire strippers just enough to need them but never find the pair I bought the last time I needed them. They have some for $10 and I’m pretty tempted to get about 12 of them.

I bought some stretch bands for working out, cheap kids size sparring gloves and “helmet”, and some hiking boots for doing yard work type stuff. Probably spent $40 total.

Rodney Terry has been fired
I was a freshman in 2001. At least by my junior year, there were the clickbait articles claiming we might be best overall football + basketball + baseball school. I graduated the year we won the NC. It never occurred to me we could be less than really good.

Best Surly Approved credit card
My Chase CC has a ~20% interest rate, quite a bit higher than my WF cards. I got a Citi card with 0% interest for 21 months and 3% transfer fee, but the balance isn’t high enough to wipe out my Chase card. I need a couple more. Anyone have any preferred balance transfer cards?

Tell me about Ozempic (Wegovy, etc)
At least in my case, I had a lot of acid reflux and burped a lot. Maybe she was just smelling the burps?

Star Wars: The Bad Batch, new animated series in 2021
I know as Clone Wars was wrapping up, most assumed that Ahsoka and all other Jedi had to be dead based on how SW started and how RotA ended, but of course we ended up with Kanan, Ezra, more Ahsoka, etc. So it kind of feels like this can’t have a good ending for Omega. This is setting up (far in the future) mandalorian stories, that so sets up /tries to save RoS, so they’ll probably save the clones but part of the research will escape. Maybe they can save Omega by having the older Omega go instead The pods look very much like the pod Grogu was in.

Yes I have insurance, but I’m not positive what happens after they are on the deed. I did find in their FAQ letter that the insurance will stay with me and they are responsible for paying. Not sure still what happens if there is a claim. The money would come to me the way I understand it, and I would send it on, but how do they guarantee people would send it to them?

Too late to edit, but probably worth mentioning they are offering my asking price. So probably my biggest concern would be what happens if the house burns down / washes away and they walk?

@UTPhil2006 and the other Texas real estate guys/gals - have any of you heard of Guerilla Investments? They made an offer on a house we have listed for sale that is Subject To. I have heard of these but have zero experience with them. From the details in the offer, it sounds like a good deal. Good deals make me suspicious though, on the other hand we ReFi when rates were super low, and any rate these days will be almost twice as high Thoughts?

immamac has permabanmed me against bob’s wishes. read this thread before it disappears.
What standard? We have some really shitty posters that only seem to be here to start fights or spread disinformation. They stick around. That is true. But maybe “we” don’t need to be that way? Or at least not as much? Friends give each other good natured grief / ball busting in small amounts and that’s fine. You do it too much and you’re just a jerk. When a thread / board devolves in to trying to respond with snarkiest / shittiest comment just to get some +rep - and there are more people in the community like that because they were attracted to those types of discussions, it can make a pretty shitty environment. I see a lot more of that around here now. I’m guilty of it myself. I’ve tried to pull back at times. It’s the enshitificstion of this board, and our society in general. @Dbeasy I don’t mean to direct this at you as if I you’re the problem.

I was never on HF. I think I was on Shaggy for quite a while, but I was not aware of the Lorree thing people are referring to. Can someone fill the rest of us in?

This story, about this Alabama pastor...

It can only pump out about 1/4 of what we use per day. I think it’s supposed to last about 3 months full. Of course, if we’re in Spr is only source mode, most of use aren’t going to make the list of ppl important enough to get it. Most of us probably won’t make it.- Vontae Davis (RIP) retires from football...at half time
From what I’ve read, $65k a year is a better pay out than most people’s 401ks that retired in the 90s- Drastic increase in student absences
Yeah, I’ve wondered about it too, but I’ve come to the conclusion it’s much more anxiety based than Uncle Rico based. The football dreams started after high school, and the test dreams didn’t start until after college. There’s nothing happy about them. I think it’s just that we spend 6 or 8 years of our lives with that being one of the most time consuming things in our lives, and while there was a lot to enjoy, we (or at least I) had a lot to stress over too. Guess the mind just isn’t done stressing yet.- Drastic increase in student absences
Exact same on both of these. And I wake up feeling terrible and be like I need to be medicated. I don’t think I’ve actually gotten to play a snap in any of my dreams the last 20+ years.- Dumbass Shit We See On Facebook
Went on a few dates w a girl a UT that grew up probably having her parents do everything for her. She put pop tarts in a toaster w the wrapper still on. - Hey Oil Barons.......
