Just hit 2 months with my current leak. First roofer wasn't interested in anything less than total roof replacement, second roofer re-did some flashing but the leak is still there and he's terrible with follow up, and third roofer told me they don't do repairs under $1,000. My insurance guy quoted me $1300 for roof repair and drywall repair/replacement. Now I gotta find roofer number four. Thank god the leak is only in the garage. If this was in the bedroom or living room I'd imagine the only way to get a roofer to take it seriously is to offer a cash bonus for successfully completion.

Are you in Dallas? Because threatening to call the cops would definitely make me laugh too. My recommendation is to either not answer the door or at least let them know someone is inside but they're not interested OR tell them you're a renter. The latter only works for stuff like roofers and insurance salesmen.

Vanguard's federal money market fund and the long term corporate bond ETF both have a yield within half a percent of each other. Holy shit.

Cars for kids. Write off the car, not the kid.

I don't think I've ever mentioned this before so apologies if I have. I have an estranged uncle. For whatever reason he wants nothing to do with me or my family. I've seen him maybe twice in the last 25 years, once at my grandpa's funeral and once at a family get together. He allegedly told his kids (my cousins) early in their life that we didn't want anything to do with them so I've had no relationship with them at all. It wasn't until a few years ago that my sister reached out to them and learned this. I have wanted to meet them more and get to know them because....I mean come on man they're family. I have 5 first-cousins in total and my uncle's side has 3 of them. My other cousins I know them, their spouses, when they graduated high school, when they graduated college, their interests, etc. I know nothing about my uncle's kids. We went to one of their weddings and I brought my wife with me. On the drive home the first thing she said was "wow that was awkward, they acted like they didn't really know you". I had to tell her that was kind of true. They don't really know me and I don't really know them. My grandma wasn't at the wedding. She lives alone 7 hours away but we have the same experience. She doesn't really know them. We've tried multiple times to meet up and things always fall apart for one reason or another. I finally said to myself you know what if they want to know me they can reach out to me. I bring all of this up because one of my cousins is pregnant. My grandma is about to become a great grandmother. I have no idea if she's going to make an attempt to be there for the delivery. When I was born my dad recorded her and my grandpa literally sprinting into the hospital and grabbing me from the nurse's arms because they wanted to hold me. They were so in love with me as a baby. It just breaks my heart that this baby won't get to experience the kind of love and affection I got from her when I was born. I only had 1 great grandparent alive while my mom was pregnant but she (the great grandparent) passed away 2 months before I was born. I wish she got to see me and hold me. Breaks my heart man. Thanks for reading this.

Add me to the Discount Tire team. Good price and much easier to schedule rotations and balancing. Great with flat repairs too.

I think the reason I have a much harder time watching this show is that it now feels like the characters know they're on TV. Everything just seems like a performance rather than the earlier seasons when things were chaotic and it felt like you were watching like an eye in the sky. This year's premiere was fun but the other episodes have been pretty bad. I don't see how this show goes on for 3 more seasons at its current rate.

Sorry for the large resolution but here's a side by side comparison between RIF on the left and the official reddit app on the right. It's like night and day.

I've probably mentioned this before but whatever. It happened again. You're a piece of shit if you knock on a bathroom stall door after trying to open it. What am I gonna do, open the door and let you sit on my lap while I release my diarrhea?

Thought this was pretty clever

Friend of mine got murdered in November of 2020. They caught the guy in January of 2021 but he's been locked up in the county jail since then. Haven't heard anything about a trial

Just got back from Marfa and wow, what a difference a year makes. Some restaurants have closed down, some coffee shops have closed down, and Convenience West gave me some of the worst pork ribs I've ever had. My airbnb host called me on my drive into town and freaked me out into thinking someone was trying to impersonate a member of my party. I cut my trip a few days early. But on the positive side, I took a different route to get there and went from the northern part of Jeff Davis County through Balmorhea. Beautiful area! It will be my focus the next time I make a trip out to West Texas.

Are these bottles available in stores or online only? I've only ever seen this brand on Facebook ads

The Ticket vs The Freak talk cracks me up so much because everyone seems to ignore the Fan that pulls in pretty good ratings without a big name like Rhyner or Sirois. They're consistently in the top 5 of the money demo and sometimes beat the Ticket in total listeners too. Wake me up when the Freak beats Dan Bongino re-runs on Saturday

How long does it normally take for a murder case to go to trial after the suspect has been arrested?

This has been the best year I've ever had for reselling my season tickets. I put up my tickets for Saturday at a wild price and they sold this morning. Fucking insane.

Well there goes my football season cash cow. Where will I get my picks from now? Scott Ferrall?

Don't be a cheap ass. My grandma had a fall and broke her femur. Left the cell phone inside the house so she was outside for 7 hours before someone heard her yell for help.

If yall think medical billing is nuts you should see what I have to put up with in the pharmacy billing world. Patient brings in an order for vancomycin capsules to treat diarrhea caused by a specific bug. I process the claim and get a gross profit of -$85 due to MAC pricing. So not only are they paying me $85 below what I can buy the drug at, they're enforcing a maximum allowable cost on me so I have to shop for this price. Call the insurance up and ask them where they're finding this drug at the MAC price. "Sorry that's proprietary information." Now I have to decide between turning the patient away, filling the prescription and filing a MAC appeal with the insurance company hoping they give me my $85 120 days from now, or fill it and lose my shirt.

I don't know why he denied it since he posted the audio of the phone call where he told them he'd go away for $10 million lol

This got linked in the reddit DT thread and you nailed it. Reddit doesn't produce any meaningful original content and is entirely dependent on the users. It's Digg by another name. When Digg v4 was introduced, we all dropped them like a bad habit. We'll do it again.

I have a perspective both as a mod and a user. Like @Rimbo mentioned, I'm also someone who left Digg for reddit after they destroyed how we accessed content. Ads don't bother me one bit but if you're going to make it more difficult for me to access content and communicate then I'm gone. I get all of the comments about how the API is structured, opportunity costs for Apollo & RIF, etc. Trust me I get it. I just don't give a shit about it. This protest will do nothing for third party apps and I've come to accept it. I will become a desktop-only user which will cut 95% of my reddit time per day. I have no loyalties to any social media conglomerate. I cut Digg out like a skin cancer and I'll do it again.

Oregon manager should be fired. How the fuck are you gonna pull a vet so he can get an ovation and then lose your fucking ass on a play like that? I hope Oral Roberts deep throats them the hell out of the tournament

I just got back from Marfa and Convenience West gave me some of the worst pork ribs I've ever had. Went waaaay too heavy on the pepper and paprika.

Holy shit the court ruled for Jack Daniels in the Bad Spaniels dog toy case. Unanimous opinion.
