All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
My closing is in an hour. We were going to sell last year and travel for a couple years, but COVID happened. Ended up getting at least an extra 20% over what I would have been happy with last year and it sold in two days to cash offer. Will be staying at Airbnb’s from here on out and investing the house money.

lol if that tweet was real the SEC office wouldn’t end it with the precedent would be forfeit and Texas would go to the championship.

2021 College World Series Thread
When you are part of a team like this, college, high school, or pro, it is standard to have rules that the players have to adhere for the benefit of the team over personal choice. You have curfews. I imagine that N.C. State players weren’t allowed to be out partying until 4 am. I imagine that they have to make sure they are at practice. To make the decision to risk the whole season for players and fans to allow a few players to make a personal decision that could have an enormous effect on the whole program is mind blowing.

I thought he was talking about “being prepared” in a general sense for all those things, with a gun for some of them.

How many covid tests have you had?
One. I had to get one to see my dad after his surgery at the rehab place. They also had me wear a hazmat suit to go in there, which was good.

Robocalls - Why don't we fine the companies who spam phones?
I have my dad's phone since he passed away last month. He gets all kinds of emails and texts from political organizations. A guy called right before the defund police vote in San Antonio trying to make sure my dad voted for it. The guy read from this rambling, long script. I just sat the phone down on my desk and let him keep going. I hear "Hello..." so I pick up. I said "could you repeat that?" He says "which part?" I say "The whole thing, I was kind of busy there and didn't hear it." He says "I sure can" and reads his script from the beginning. I sat the phone down again and had a good laugh.

Who's been covid vaxxed? Stand up and be counted.
I assume the old lady had a mask on. I guess she prefers everyone having to wear masks over everyone getting a vaccine.

Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, etc.)
after not following bitcoin at all I decided to look at the chart. it is at 46.9k now. my guess is it will bounce to the 50DMA at around 57k and then fall to the 200 DMA which should be around 42k towards the end of May. whatever happens, the chart looks pretty ugly past any bounce you see short term here.

The Trial of Derek Chauvin
At what point does Black Lives Matter need to legitimize using George Floyd as their bellwether case by proving racism in this specific case? And what does it say when their bellwether case involves zero evidence of racism? Is evidence needed or are assumptions good enough?
-
The Trial of Derek Chauvin
yup. to be found not guilty would require that every black person on that juror voted not guilty. there is no way in hell.

Surly #Stonks
anybody have a broker who lets you buy stocks over $1 to 4 decimals? i use TDA and they only allow that for stocks less than a $1 and it pisses me off.

The Trial of Derek Chauvin
I haven't watched the trial, but has there been any evidence set forth that Chauvin's actions had anything to do with race?

Its happening (stadium renovations)
Only a white guy in his 50's would say he is a white guy in his 30's to 50's.
