    600k house on 120k salary is house poor territory. I'm honestly surprised that even got pre-approved.

    Residual Tesla effect I took a look at that company and not really sure how they plan to really take off but it still seems like a decent buy before the Nikola IPO simply because of Tesla blinding the average investor.

    I can't speak to how many applicants there are, I just know we are still hiring. I'm a consultant with an indefinite contract so I guess I should say "they are still hiring", not we.

    He's talking about buying property in the future, after prices have fallen. He's thinking this virus is going to have a downward effect on the housing market, a position I'm inclined to agree with.

    Finishing sous vide fish and chicken is really the only use I'd have for a torch. All that albumin on salmon is kind of off putting and torching it makes it look way more appetizing.

    You save ~1k in monthly payments for the first 15 years. And then you spend ~2k more in monthly payments in the final 15 years. You would have to take the money you saved in the first 15 and double it via investments over the same time period to "break even". With compounding returns it's more...

    You can borrow against your 401(k) for a primary residence without taking any early withdrawal penalties. In fact you can borrow without those penalties for anything, the term is just longer (up to 30 years) for a primary residence. I had to borrow against my 401(k) years ago for a failed...

    Witcher 3 is not very difficult, even on Death March. It sounds like your issue isn't with the crafting system, but rather the alchemy system. You don't like having to constantly re-apply short duration buffs and have to meditate to re-stock the supply with alcohest. It's not the difficulty...

    What We Do in the Shadows

    Colin is also an absurd character. It makes sense for his character to not resonate with people who don't work in an office environment but he is actually an over the top, absurd amalgamation of several different terrible office colleague cliches. It's not a realistic character.

    Networks and TV stations don't need to migrate anywhere. All their content is already available to stream on their own websites.

    I'm glad I work with software that doesn't have a million different libraries/frameworks/dev tools. I'm sure the weekly arguments in every "scrum meeting" about which framework is the best and what new dev tools are in style for Memorial Day weekend are wonderful to listen to.

    Well, we were talking about people who can afford either. He was asking for opinions on both, and I did mention difference in monthly payments. And in my opinion if you can't afford a 15 year mortgage you can't afford that house, but that's another conversation

    I was never allowed to drink soda growing up either. I didn't understand it as a kid but I'm thankful for it now. Never had a sweet tooth, think soda is disgusting, and never have to worry about diabetes.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It's a good idea in theory but it's usually very difficult and time consuming to find buyers because most server clusters have A LOT of competition. I sold a bunch of M+ runs at the beginning of BfA but it would take hours to find a buyer in some cases.
