Very firmly no. Even PCRs are not useful. People can pull out an example of “my friend infected me when her test said X” but that’s just coincidence. This has been studied extensively during COVID and there is no reliable correlation between test value and infectivity.

Argue all you want. I gave you real numbers. That was my quote without a down payment.

We live in very different places. Multiply most of those numbers by about 6 and you have my area. I’m not exaggerating - 3 bedroom attached house of 1.5million, mortgage of 6.5k, PMI of $2500. Average rent is 2-3k for a 1 bedroom.

I’ve lived it. If your average home is $250k, your situation is nothing like mine or half the country that lives in cities. Your advice only applies to rural areas with extremely low cost of living.

People don’t do this because it’s not a good idea for almost everyone. If you don’t put money down, your monthly payment will be astronomical, and THEN you will have to pay PMI on top of that (which isn’t applied to the mortgage OR interest) until you hit 20% paid. That money is thrown away and depending on where you live, it can be close to a rent payment on its own, without the actual mortgage payment. If you can afford a massive mortgage with PMI, you can afford to save a down payment. The only time I would do what you suggest is if my income was way more than rent and I was in a rush to move into a house.

Fannie and Freddie are legit, use them!

I find it very tasty, however, I think hot sauce is adding more moisture to a food that’s already pretty wet. I prefer red pepper flakes to balance this out. But she should do what she wants

Idclip OR idspispopd depending on Doom 1 or 2

Lol yeah the geometry of the noses would pack tighter. However, you could get a situation where you can’t get out because the noses are all angles in towards each other

First!

What did I just read! Wow that was a wild ride, thanks for sharing. Someone could write a PhD thesis on how this worked

What is a “pick me?”

I had more or less the same experience. “Terrorists” were the villains in spy movies and they were NEVER in the USA. I thought we were invincible? Get a little older: oh look at the social services and infrastructure that other countries have for free.

Bob Hopkins. Though I respect the Captain, Bob will always have a special place in my heart. The way he finally came around to the world and used the mushroom in the end was great 😃

That last line killed me 💀💀💀

I love ghost pepper sauce 🤤

I am perfectly WHELMED by this discovery.

It’s only tea if it’s made from the tea region of the plant. Anything else is sparkling suspension

My company just bought 30 new 1080p monitors for my office which can’t display our main software completely. Imagine spending thousands of dollars for tech from 20 years ago that still cuts off information for average use. I could rant for hours about resolutions…

1600 x 1200 at 60hz is actually quite respectable today. You can still buy laptops with 1366 x 768 resolution in 2024!! 🤢🤮🤢🤮

I remember having a 1440 x 900 monitor and wondering how far we would go in 10 years…10 years later 1366 x 768 was more common and I wanted to die.

Amazing project btw, you might inspire me to do something similar.

I think the branding as a “repair” is meant to mislead uninformed users but I am totally with you, I would LOVE to get a list of settings that are going to change after an update so I can approve them. I can’t tell you how many times a random update reverts something I set up ages ago when I installed windows. Most of the time I may not notice the setting change for a while, until one day a feature doesn’t work as I expect it to.

I got chills…
