    Bathrooms are one of the rooms with the best return on upgrade/remodel investment IIRC, and that does look great!

    Great googily moogily.... To give some perspective. I'm in North Texas. And this year for $40k total I had a complete 450 sq ft fully enclosed patio room built (I believe pics are already in here). That's framing, walls, roofing, electrical, windows around the whole thing, and 4 sliding...

    FOH Shower Thoughts

    I used to only know them as "hippy sandals" or "Catholic lesbian sandals". Then I knew someone who gave me a pair. And I swear they are the most comfortable things I've ever worn to walk around in. And if you can keep your dog from chewing one up (looking at a certain dog of mine....) a pair...

    This is very true... What I was talking to him about was the difference in trying to make a chatbot/LLM "be" the support agent and instead have the chatbot/LLM listen to the conversation and keep feeding the support agent information/tips/direction. Basically use the LLM to "supercharge" the...

    I have a customer I support in the call center industry. Talking with them the other day about AI/Chatbots/LLMs/etc as it pertains to some of the products I help them with (automation-centric) and they showed me the goal chart. Currently around 15% of people's problems they call with are...

    Saw this in another thread and it was a nice format and one I haven't used before so I thought I'd steal it... Kept it to percentages because we're not gauche savages and improper/unpolite monsters... And I'm not a Foler alt... I'm interested in how others are balancing this stuff...

    Best Credit Card with Cash Back Rewards

    That's close to my layout... Chase Amazon for just about everything.. Chase Sapphire to back that up.. Capital One Venture One for... uhm... I honestly have no clue as to why. Then a few other cards I'll use and then pay off each time they send a "use this or we're gonna cancel it" notice....

    Best Credit Card with Cash Back Rewards

    But if you use Amazon much you just use the points for Amazon purchases where you get the full value, and prevents it from becoming card balance.

    I would argue that it's not sad, it's a discussion of human nature. People live better lives when they have a purpose, that has been my personal experience, and what I have observed in many others. Now, for some people that means working a job, having a boss, all that. For others it means...

    First, the average age for a male in the US is well over 70 these days, so plan for probably 80 or longer if you're keeping decent care of yourself. And another nugget of wisdom from my hairy sack of experience.... So you plan on retiring at 50, what are you going to do with yourself for the 30...

    Ah that does remind me of another snore trigger to me.... dehumidification. I was trying to tinker with the overall comfort in the house so tested out a dehumidifier to dry the air a little. When the humidity was consistently in the low 30's I started snoring like crazy. When I shut off the...

    I'm a side sleeper as well. Top end memory foam/gel mattress and in the last month I've started getting some pain in my right hip. I'm still in denial that it's because I'm in my mid 50's and arthritis runs in my family... So let's blame the mattress. ;)

    So slightly off topic but still in the sphere of investing question. Is it offensive to reference how much physical silver you are purchasing denominated in "Jesus"s? A traditional Sheckle is 11.5g, meaning Jesus was sold out for around 240g of silver, or around 8 ounces. So if I'm picking...

    Amazon Vine... Does this make me a shill?

    Depends on your impulse control... Let's say hypothetically you're in the 25% tax bracket. If you can look at it and say "I'm getting this item for 75% off it's list price which I'll pay at the end of the year" and it's still worth it so you buy the thing, then you're OK. If you look at it...
