We just thought streaming video subscriptions were annoying. AI subscriptions are gonna be fugly once we get reliant on them.

Yeah ChatGPT and the like are basically free now. They are gonna wait until they get their hooks deep into society and then start dialing up the subscription costs.

Bet.

How tf would a retirement account help a Gen Z kid buy a house?


It probably wouldn’t. But if their mindset is to gamble instead of save for retirement…..then they are likely doing other things that aren’t so financially smart.

Are people frequently using retirement accounts to buy homes?


Probably not. But if their mindset is to gamble instead of save for retirement…..then they are likely doing other things that aren’t so financially smart.
Yahoo Link LINK

Maybe this is why they can’t buy a house?

Also, are we regretting legalizing all these sports betting apps yet?
We didn’t have many fireworks for Christmas but dad wasn’t gonna let that get us down.

Dude got his oxy/acetylene torch and filled a balloon up with gas. It was a big arse balloon too.

He stood back maybe 5-10 feet and shot it with a Roman candle. Damn thing was powerful enough to blow his hat off his head.

It was this moment that I realized all of my dads wild stories where probably true.
Letitia James is back there looking like a bag of hammered cat shite. That’s one fugly woman.
Soooo I read that to say it was a Ford Lightning.

Funny thing is I’ve heard two excuses from millennials “Boomers are hoarding all the wealth” “Boomers are holding up all the good jobs by not retiring because they didn’t save for retirement” Well which is it?


Regardless of which it is…….its just a bunch of whiny MFers looking for a reason to validate their lazy arse choices.

After? They cut dirty hair? Do they wear gloves?


Never had a haircut my man?
On that note, i’m not letting the male barber wash my hair after a cut.

My wife thinks I’m odd for only letting a female wash my hair after a haircut.

I feel like most men think this way.

Puhhhh, I don’t even like people enough to have a friend.
Dude my family premium went up to $810 a month this year. Was like $500/mo previous years. Nuts.
Me and the wife are going through the same debate with building our “forever” home.

She wants to stretch the budget and I’m trying to be realistic.

Here’s my advice. Budgets are great and you have to have them, but they are sometimes theoretical and not practical. So in addition to a budget I say really focus on saving for 3-6 months before making a decision. During that time how much are you really saving without a ton of effort?

If it’s enough saved monthly to cover the extra mortgage, then go for it.

However if you have to jump through hoops that aren’t practical long term, use common sense.
Yes I’ve been called 3 times. Sat on a personal injury trail once. This lady was suing a trucking company that was at fault for a car accident. She was asking for 5.5 mil due to needing a back surgery. We decided that amount of money was insane given she was fully capable of still working. We gave her 1.8 mil. Very cool experience being on a jury though.

I also have learned what to say and not to say during selection, if you do NOT want to be on a jury lol.

550 Canada geese euthanized in north Alabama over HOA complaints


Our HOA just did this in Youngsville with about 30 ducks. We had about 60 or so ducks in our neighborhood pond and there wasn’t enough for them to eat. So they started wondering the neighborhood, shitting everywhere, getting run over.

Apparently LDWF doesn’t relocate. Or they didn’t try to. They sedated them somehow, then brought them elsewhere to be euthanized.
Yes Mallet. They will build that size concrete and all for under $40k. And will rate it for 150 mph hurricane.

Edit. Electrical not included.
Flintlocks fire about 3 rounds per minute accurate to about 100 yards.

Modern light machine guns fire up to ~700 rpm accurate up to 800 yards.

Belt-fed is a helluva thing.
