    Going to College as an Adult

    Personally I question how far school name gets you. I've never once heard of anyone (in the tech industry) giving a shit about school name. I am sure it happens but seems its a few and far between kind of thing.

    Does the underlying basis of super shitty loan practices come into play this time around? What form will the collapse into underwater mortgages take?

    My current house, in the Austin fashion, had the tax basis increase by $35k for 2022. Yay.

    Yeah I've heard that line before. Lots of diversity due it being an oil town/shipping.

    Pretty much. I got a similar house a 3bd/2bath 1450 SQFT but no basement because its Texas. I never considered mine a starter home. But it was what I could afford at the time. Now that we are both committed to WFH and the fam has expanded we are moving into a 4/3 with a dedicated study (for...

    Even before the Rona I was doing 1 WFH day a week pretty much. Any place that is against WFH is a place I won't even consider working. End of story.

    Yeah, in Jackal it isn't even brought up other than mentioning spell rankings. Which works into generic fantasy tropes anyway so its fine. There isn't levels or systems or anything. It really excels in subversion of the Isekai tropes. Minor spoilers.

    I know I and others have mentioned it before but the best more recent one Jackal among Snakes. Much like the other really good "LitRPGS" like He Who Fights Monsters it mostly abandoned the actual litrpg aspects and only mentions them in passing from time to time. Solid fantasy otherwise. It...

    Well clearly people are wanting to and buying houses thus creating a lot of pressure on the market. But the person who could afford a $400k house is going to struggle paying for that same house when it costs $800k. My income increased dramatically with the Corona, but not astronomically.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Play bullshit for a year and half (while paying the whole time) until the game is in a state you can actually enjoy somewhat? That's retard shit.

    While I always agree that real estate markets are highly localized and Austin is a center for madness lately. This kind of lunacy seems to be all over. People don't seem to have much of an issue gulping these houses up despite the ever rising prices.

    If I bought the house I am building today as opposed to Jan 2021 when I did it would be $1100 more a month with today's interest rate. Based on the loan amount differences only. As the same house today starts at $200k more than I paid for it. Edit: Oh wait they changed it again! Jan 2021...
