re: How to deal with living in a money pit? Feeling a bit stuck...
Posted by CalcuttaTigah on 9/30/26 at 5:38 am to StringedInstruments
Houses are a money pit indeed.
To me, this sounds like shitty inspection which is strange because those guys are usually trying to sell their own handy man services. I moved into a 1980 home in 2020 and the inspector pointed out every little thing and gave me his business card at the end.
Also, not trying to be an ahole but “droppings in the attic” means you removed and replaced all insulation? The vibe of that full write up sort of feels like you are being taken advantage of in certain situations and also don’t know much about what’s normal/maintaining stuff yourself so just replace everything to the fullest extent possible for peace of mind which of course is very expensive. Obviously certain stuff you had to do but still.

re: Just a hunch, the “AI slowdown” talk isn’t a foreign conspiracy or genuine concern

Probably why OP mentioned liquidity, not ROI and breakeven analysis. They are building so fast and just praying that the market sorts out what to do with all of this computing power before they run out of cash.
It’s why they need an IPO so badly which will be underwritten based on a future that is all guesswork and potential.

I use to do this work many moons ago and I cannot imagine how much easier this would be now with LLM, meeting prep, etc. I could probably do 4-5 times the amount of work now than I used to do then.

Leavitt will get a pitch from RB in that formation before the season is over.
re: Unread work emails. How do you people function? I read all of my work emails

Yea sorry but I’m guilty of this. I can see the message in preview mode and know within 10 words whether it’s worth opening.
If you have time to read and neatly categorize every single thing that comes into your inbox, you aren’t busy enough in my opinion. That would take me at least an hour a day to organize which is an hour I’m not providing value.

re: A disruptive peer in elementary school leads to a 3% decrease in future earnings

No way you can control for all the other variables that would influence those outcomes. Disruption in a classroom is more likely just one symptom of a larger overall problem with being in both an educational and home environment that contributes to those outcomes.

I’m sorry but how absolutely pathetic of a son is this kid? Can an 18-19 year old not take care of themselves anymore?

There is a lot of outrageous claims being made in this thread haha. I love the optimism but hope nobody on here is going out and buying a Ferrari today. This is a long term play, let’s build some momentum with a good tour today to get some publicity and take it from there.
re: Who all pays monthly bills on a credit card?

Fraud protection alone is reason number 1. Points is reason number 2. I have all my bills except truck note and mortgage on credit cards.

I can’t stop laughing at this comment. Literally laughing out loud.

Yep, getting greedy in this space and out over your skis is how you lose your arse in the EPC world. Stick to what you know.

What is your goal for 5 years now? Exit? This matters for your next move in my opinion.
re: Fraud in Public Companies - Enron, WorldCom, etc.

Ah, that is a good one from recent past. That chick tricked a lot of dudes on the board for sure, including a general I believe.
Fraud in Public Companies - Enron, WorldCom, etc.
Posted by CalcuttaTigah on 7/19/26 at 7:25 am
A bit of an off topic but feel this is an appropriate place to get a broader perspective. I remember hearing about WorldCom, Enron, HealthSouth, etc and it seemed like there was a window of time where a large number of big public corporations were committing big time fraud. Yet you rarely hear about anything like that anymore.
Am I just paying attention less? Or have audit regulations and accounting rules been that effective since that era?

Are you thinking of preventative or do you have a current issue?

Right idea but Apple Watches have to be charged every 24 hours. I’d say just put an AirTag on keychain and be done with it.

I’m at $6 for 2000 shares and $4.50 for 1000 and still not concerned. Hope everyone feels better now.
re: Where to go on 5ish day bass fishing river float

What portion? I’ve heard good things but never looked into it. The fishing is my biggest thing I’d be interested in.

I can't recommend the Devil's river trip enough...did the trip pre-covid in 3.5 days. This is indeed a trip of a lifetime. Tough to get to but totally worth it, though the river levels need to be good and the camping aspect is a total pain in the arse because of Texas landowners.

Pod of Geauxld, once a week as the season starts. Feels like I’m catching up with some old buddies talking about football. Not the most analytical but definitely the most relatable.
