Thanks for the info. When did you guys switch to 1/1.5 base? Is that new this year?

Alliant Credit Union has a 2.5% cash back card for the first $10k per billing cycle (month). I think after that it drops to 2%.

I have a Pended 2% back credit card and a State Department Federal...

Sierras look awesome this year. I think my GF is going to pull the trigger.

How many fucking people are wasting away in American jails for the exact same thing? And now we need to trade an international arms dealer who helped kill countless people to get Griner back?

Any word on the password?

That worked, thanks.

^right on Mud! It's so cool to see the stuff sealife that would otherwise be out of view.

I'm glad to have gotten my cert. I've used it in some cool places since I made this post back in the day-...

Double check your link- the link in that post goes to an article about inventory liquidation.

I think you were trying to post this-

Thanks! My house is luckily already a gray/ dark gray trim color scheme.

I've been using only merino wool for skiing for roughly 15 years. I use lightweight ~150 grams/sq meter wool if I'm doing anything active or it is warmish. I use 200 grams per meter if I'm doing...

Perhaps a scope camera down the PVC could be viable way to investigate?

Thanks very much, everyone. Fascia is maybe rough ish but hard to tell what it was originally. The combination of plumb fascia, it being 8 inches in height and the acrylic stain on fascia makes so...

I'm in the market for getting my house stained. Entire house is cedar siding. House is 3k sq feet and two stories. As best I can tell, it was last stained in 2018 before I owned the house.

After...

Sounds cheaper and more reasonable than 2021. How much would that house have sold for in 2019?

10 acres including a house or just raw land?

This is interesting- https://encorebubble.com/visualization-of-price-drops/

Good call.

Jan 2022 to now inventory went up by 50% but months of supply went up by 100%. The only thing that can account for that delta is a massive reduction in demand.

It's showing me no data before June 2021

^ It would be really nice if the existing supply data went back before last year.

No mountain biking is allowed in the Grand Canyon (or most other US national parks).

For a MTB trip from DFW I'd say go to Durango or Crested Butte.

Number of homes sold in the US were down 5% YoY in June, but median sale price set a new record high of $416k.

Sales are slowing, inventory is rising but buyers are still paying record prices...

Right on. Hope you have a good time in New Orleans.

For a future trip, Rim to river to rim trail running is possible in the Grand Canyon one a one or two night trip in the spring and fall when it...

What are you into? Mountain activities? City stuff? Food?

For city stuff, there is Austin and New Orleans are quick flights. It'll be way too hot in both at the moment. Vegas sucks. Not fun as a...

What is up with all these days that open down in a big way and then come back to even or up by close? It seems to happen again and again.

You still sticking to your thesis that low wage workers are better off with negative interest rates and accelerating inflation while real wages lose ground every month?

Real interest rates are -7.6% and the Fed is sitting around wondering why it's accelerating. Absolutely unbelievable.

One time coming home AMS-IAH-DEN I had half of a 300 mg space cake left over from a night out with a friend that lives in Amsterdam.

Once I was sure I was going to make the flight but before going...

A couple weeks ago Snapt mentioned that hotel bookings in Teton Valley were down 75% compared to last year.

You'll never regret buying him that rt flight even if it seems like a lot right now.

Did a 60 mile ride from our house over the weekend and connected some forest service roads into a big loop. We had a 25 mile stretch where we didn't see another person.

Vocal about what, exactly? The post that Conundrum referenced was when I said I'd gladly pay more in property taxes so that local public servants could get paid more. Should I just get in line with...

Most attend school in Driggs, a few in Jackson and few get shipped off to boarding schools.
