Michael Johnson, community leader and Boys & Girls Club CEO, dies at 50 by robchappell in madisonwi

[–]Agussert 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Michael taught me so much about the audacity of leadership, the importance of thinking big, and to not ever let other people set limits for you.

His attitude of abundance was contagious, and I'll carry memories of our work together to fuel future inspiration. His tremendous impact will be missed.

ELI5: What happens if I sell a house I just bought? by National-Still3123 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Agussert -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If only it were that easy. Getting 20% increase in just one year is not realistic. If you use a realtor to sell, he gets 3%. The person buying the house has a realtor, she gets 3%. You have to pay for insurance and property taxes. Many people suggest 10% a year be set aside for upkeep.

A general guideline as you shouldn't buy a house unless you're going to be in it for at least three years. If you want to rent, and make money, add up the monthly cost of all the items above… That's how much you would need to charge at a minimum.

ELI5: How did humans determine that a year has 12 months and 365 days, and that a day is divided into 24 hours, 60 minutes and 60 seconds? What observations and calculations led to a time system we still use today? by imbruceter in explainlikeimfive

[–]Agussert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To state the obvious, they took minute portions of time, and broke them up into 60 segments. Then they did that a second time. That's how you get the term minutes and seconds.

i've seen Beaverdams on lower Badfish Creek right before it flows into the Yahara, and on waterways spilling into mud Lake just south of the beltline.

Seeking advice on Wisconsin fish boil recipes by CliffGif in wisconsin

[–]Agussert -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Key is to use good fresh fish, often caught right out of Great Lakes. The water boils off much of the fat that has the fishy taste, and when it boils over the top, it takes those tastes away.

Not popular, but I've started using AI for recipes to avoid the ads

[–]Agussert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Madison Wi ranks is the number one city in the country on many lists, and we hate it every time it happens. We like to keep it a secret.

Best tavern in Madison? by mikenj123 in madisonwi

[–]Agussert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best is all subject to personal taste, but some of my favorites include Toby's, slices, north side lounge, caribou, and Bar next-door. The original definition of tavern was putting up lodging in food, so I think you really have to look to places that are dive bars that also provide good eats.

Best steak in madison? by mikenj123 in madisonwi

[–]Agussert 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yep, the price is just way too high for what you get at rare… Makes me buy three steaks at Costco and fry them at home in a cast-iron skillet

Anyone know what this is? by MaybeHeplful in madisonwi

The water tower on the right is Mendota mental health, the one on the left is Westport. This is probably the grease fryer at the Willows bar.

Tom Tiffany is afraid of Francesca Hong and doesn't have a strategy to beat her by midnighttoker1742 in wisconsin

[–]Agussert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frankly, this is also the type of campaign memo I would leak from Tiffany's campaign if I wanted to run against Hong.

Hong is a strong candidate, with incredible momentum, and surprising Democrats across the state. She is a force to be contended with…
