    Sorry boys, I'm on board with PSVR2. I don't really play any high end PC games anymore. I spend too much time at my desk for work as is. Console it is.

    I tried to play this. The login options, Apple auth, Google auth, some other auth... I actually clicked on both apple and google, to humor them, but the redirects pass through something that chrome attempts to translate from chinese to english. It's nailed by my dns ad/spam blocking. Maybe...

    What game(s) had a final area/boss that ruined the game for you?

    I think it was Shovelknight that makes you fight all the bosses up to that point in a row. No thanks.

    You can still get starter homes here. They just aren't $130-160k like people "remember them being" less than a decade ago. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/707-Olivia-Ln-Centerton-AR-72719/70646109_zpid/

    I paid someone to do it. They used an attachment on the front of a skid steer. They used that for everything. I think they even had a cement mixing attachment, along with forks for moving stuff around. There's no way I could put together a fence this well. Although I'm not sure what to think...

    While the markets may be adjusting, they are lagging pretty hard. Like @Drinsic said, it now costs 2x to get the same loan as a year-ish ago. Home prices haven't fallen by 50%; not even close.

    Friend of mine ran the stats on his place near Austin, if he were to buy again today at the same price. It REALLY doesn't look good when you line it up like this. People will always skirt around the issue and say shit about being below inflation, so you're still technically ahead. Yeah...

    I'm getting a fence installed, as I got a new dog. I want an area where I can add a doggy door to the back and he can roam without concern. He does great so far, staying on our land, but I wouldn't leave him outside unattended for some time yet. Just throwing out some costs for people to make...

    I use dynatraps extensively around my property. Including the enormous XL, which probably has about a pound of moths/mosquitos/wasps in it right now.

    Awesome. If you have the right relationships in place at each company, I would be as transparent as possible. Good people appreciate that. I did a similar thing, started full time one place, part time at another, and swapped time commitments after about 3 years. It worked out. My advice is to...

    Good point. My question is this. If I simply put in my resignation, and didn't say shit about an offer... is it really a counter offer? I attempted to NOT play this game. Now I'm conflicted though. I'm going up against two of core traits that I pride myself on... risk avoidance and being true...

    Hmmm this got interesting. I submitted a simple resignation letter Friday, 'please accept my resignation as Title at Company. My last day will be July 1st'.

    I forgot to update the situation on my parents place. The realtor they used was ancient, out of it. The all cash deal they had wasn't "as is" and after getting 5" of rain over a week, he had an inspector out there that found "excess moisture" in the crawlspace. They wanted a $6k sump pump system...

    I haven't watched this particular video yet, but I went to high school about 30 minutes away from Harrison. It's the outskirt cities that had (have?) the racists.

    The battery requirement is what killed solar for me in AR. I was looking at a giant installation (on my shop building, which is perfect for solar) - 64 panels. $70-90k depending on the vendor. Spending that kind of coin on a solar installation that stops working when the grid goes down? That's...

    Around the house, yeah, but it’s mostly in or near the flower bed. The rest is effectively pasture that I mow. House is right in the middle of the 5 acres, so it would be hard to hay and make worthwhile.

    I finally got a break in kids sports to mow. Lanx will hate this image, but this is what my mower at 6”, with a little closer to the house at 4” looks like. It was way overgrown, knee height in most areas. First time it’s all been a uniform height this spring - usually only have an hour to mow...
