re: Closing Costs on a Home

Posted by Tiger Prawn on 7/7/26 at 10:02 am to Double Oh

Unless he's giving you a hell of a deal already, you should at least negotiate that the seller pays the closing costs. He doesn't have to pay a realtor commission and you're buying with cash, so he doesn't have to worry about the sale going sideways because of issues with the appraisal or buyer's mortgage approval.

Don't go cheap and just try to pay a couple hundred bucks for a lawyer to draw up sale docs and notarize it. Make sure you get a title company to do a full title search to make sure there's no liens or other parties who have claims against the property. Probably should get title insurance too just in case, but that's on you. But at least get the title search done.

I'm still unsure what game Larys is playing. Why would he give Otto to Daemon?

Larys is after power for himself and he's cunning and manipulative about it. He can manipulate Aegon and Alicent, but Otto is too wise for Larys to fool.

Larys probably knew that Otto would be executed if Daemon ever got his hands on him. Remember that Larys is a master of whispers, so maybe he was aware that Alicent secretly went to meet with Rhaenyra. If so, then serving up Otto's head on a platter for Daemon / Rhaenyra to take could drive a wedge in whatever peace that Alicent was trying to make with Rhaenyra. And at the same time, Larys permanently removes the biggest obstacle he has within the greens for him to be the king's right foot man while the blacks are the ones who swing the sword and will get the blame from Alicent, Aegon, and Aemond.

Why would they purposely not quote the worst part of the emails? Based on the information available in the OP....where's the threat?

There is no threat in what was quoted in the article.

But......skimming the article author's X feed appears to show that he does not hold a positive opinion of ICE. The man the article was written about also appears to be against ICE.

So without seeing the full, unredacted email that the guy sent to ICE, then I'm going to be skeptical about whether something was omitted from what was quoted because it wouldn't have fit the narrative.

a no appeal process

The team / country can't file a formal appeal. But FIFA has a rule in place that allows FIFA to take it upon themselves to review.

quote:
27. SUSPENSION OF IMPLEMENTATION OF DISCIPLINARY
MEASURES

1. The judicial body may decide to fully or partially suspend the implementation of a disciplinary measure.

2. By suspending the implementation of the sanction, the judicial body subjects the person sanctioned to a probationary period of one to four years.

3. If the person benefiting from a suspended sanction commits another infringement of a similar nature and gravity during the probationary period, the suspension shall be revoked by the judicial body and the sanction inforced without prejudice to any additional sanction imposed for the new infringement.

4. Disciplinary measures relating to match manipulation cannot be suspended.

The Europeans weren't bitching when Ronaldo was supposed to be suspended for the first 2 games of the World Cup until FIFA used the same Article 27 rule to allow him to only serve 1 game of the original 3 game suspension so he didn't miss any World Cup action.

They are following the rules. FIFA has a mechanism in their rules for this exact situation.

There's no appeal process for a country to file an appeal on their own. But there is a FIFA judicial body that can chose to take up a review, which is what happened here. UEFA, Belgium, and the TDS patients are missing that part.

The foul in question didn't even get called at all when viewed in real time because both players were playing the ball and the contact was incidental to that, not malicious or intentional.

Daemon: "Aegon conquered Westeros with only 3 dragons and we have 6. Lets go conquer the entire world now."

Lack of action in episode 3, but to be expected after the first 2 episodes of the season.

Rhaenyra is an idiot for not legitimizing Corlys’ bastards. Risk losing the house that’s been her biggest ally the entire time…and has a dragon. Not including Baela and Rhaena who are caught in the middle now.

Maybe the dad is an addict, abusive, or involved with a gang. I could see those kinds of situations where the kid is probably better off without the dad around at all.
