Cortisol

I found a set of Makita tools for 60% off last year and now I’m Makita battery dependent for the rest of my life

When Trump got elected in 2016 I thought, “Okay, now that we’ve done this everyone will see what a farce it is and never let it happen again.”

But that didn’t happen. It got worse. These kinds of people got their inch and now they’re in it for the mile. This is a “keeps getting worse” scenario unless we kneecap it now.

He pulled some strings

Two years ago I became a first time homeowner. I’m moving in 6 months and am going to keep this property and rent it out. I cannot afford to buy another house almost anywhere in the US. I will be renting. However, I closed on this place with 3% interest and pay $1500/mo for the mortgage, plus about $250 for utilities. Round up to $1800/mo. Anyone buying at today’s interest and value with 20% down is looking at a mortgage of about $2300/mo, before utilities.

I absolutely resent this market, but I refuse to let this place go into the hands of anyone like Blackrock. And since I don’t care about maximizing profit, I can keep the rate on the lower end and help someone live here for a few hundred a month less than they could with a new sale. I can rent it for $1700-1800/mo to cover incidentals and repair and still let a renter live here for less than a new mortgage.

I’ve been toying with the idea of counting every dollar the renter pays against the mortgage and selling to them at the difference when (if) rates come back down.

Certainly not ideal, and a little bit apologetic, but in this situation it’s about as close as I can get to a win-win. Or least lost-least lost.

This is just Westworld.

I’m tired, boss

Time to draw some free body diagrams!

Actually it would be the same force on the car if you removed the arm holding the magnet and placed a block of wood in the space between the magnets. It’s a static system

I think this one?

I fucked around with dozens of these trying to get my steam linked email changed, only to find out it’s virtually impossible. Then I sent an email to the support line explaining why I’m never buying another Rockstar game.

I read those stories like 20 years ago. Good to see them coming up again! Is he still writing?
