Here's a meme for my fellow idiots living in the 1984 style dystopia previously known as the United Kingdom.

See guys....it works IRL too.

Thanks

New tattoo. You may recognize it If you are into US history.

You should set up the ability to accept bitcoin via the Lightning Network. Very low fees and nearly instantaneous transaction.

Spend a few years sailing around the world in a fully crewed Nordhavn 120. I have a goal to do this, but if it ever happens, it will more likely be on a Nordhavn 60 shown below...and we will be spending winters in the Caribbean and summers in the San Juan Islands, with a Great Loop trip here and there....and without a crew.

Thanks @Intruder just joined Discord server. Will try and get my game updated and see if I can get on our server at some point later today.

This is too funny. RPReplay_Final1700652160.mov

@BeerGoatI guess I am unsure what mod / version I need to join our server. I know I own the game and at least one mod, but I haven't played on it since back when Day Z standalone came out. Anyone point me to what I need to join you guys sometime?

No shit @BeerGoat? Do you play on it? I have always wanted to try Day Z along with people who know what they are doing. How many people here in XI play?

Show me a screenshot of a cross section of your recent albums on your device? Here's mine from Apple Music. I find little to no interest in most current music being produced.

Wait...what is going on with my bud @FunStick? Wishing you well bro.

I just saw this post now and am so sorry for this devastating loss. If you ever need to talk to someone shoot me a DM and I'll gladly give you my mobile number. Sometimes it helps to talk to someone who doesn't have an emotional attachment to your experienced loss. Hoping you find peace amongst the chaos

@YACCster I'm stopping in the DR on a Holland America cruise over Christmas week. Would like to grab a box of cigars to bring back...what should I look for?

Real estate has been, and always will be local..however, some of the reasons for that may be changing. Prices usually went up and remained stable in places that had good paying job opportunities. The pandemic changed much of that with a big shift to “work from home”: Many companies are never going back to the office. This means people with high paying jobs in tech can go live in Omaha Nebraska, rather than in overpriced Seattle/SF etc. These dynamics are going to result in some variations in the real estate market we have never before seen.

@SammyReal estate, like most things, is subject to the laws of supply and demand. The pandemic kicked off a major supply shock in housing, which combined with ultra low interest rates, resulted in a step function move up in prices. In the US, we currently have about 39% of homes owned by people with no mortgage, and the rest have rates of 2.5%-3.5% on average…given the current rates of 6.5% and likely heading higher, most people that have a mortgage are pretty much “stuck” unless some external force makes them move. Why would anyone want to make a “move up” house purchase if they have to give up a 2.5% loan and replace it with a 7% one? Well, if they don’t have to, they won’t. Downsizing has the same problems. On the other side of the supply coin, we are likely now heading into a global recession. If this happens, we will see many job losses which will in turn increase forced selling and along with it supply. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out. Home builders have started to cut prices and are adding rate buy downs to lure people in…this will put pressure on the resale market. Given that overall America has actually been short on constructing new housing units to meet our needs ever since the GFC of ‘08…there still could be an overall supply shortage and help put a floor under prices at some point…where that floor is is anyone’s guess. I know if something happens in my life that forces me to move, I’m never giving up my 2.5% mortgage as we head into a hyper-inflationary world. I’d convert my current home to a rental. Good luck whatever you decide to do. If it were me, I’d get the hell out of CA as soon as possible, before they try and pass some sort of exit tax

That’s a brutal surgery to recover from. Wishing you a rapid recovery.

My wife has been going on and on for the last 6 months about how she wanted to get a new Mini Cooper…she had one about 10 years ago and wanted it back. So on the sly I was able to figure out what colors she wanted and I factory ordered her a new electric Mini Cooper a few months ago. I just got the update that it’s at the port now. This is gonna be epic when I take her out for lunch one day soon….and wind up at the Mini dealer to collect her new car.

Who would have guessed that Smeg was good at playing with himself?
