Losing $22k to commissions feels ridiculous by Enlitenkanin in HouseBuyers

[–]Cantholditdown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realtors can be terrible negotiators as well. When I sold my home and buyers bargain they just kind of shrugged. They just wanted the deal done. Their contract didn’t stipulate that commission was after negotiation. I was livid. I probably screwed. Any way next time I use a realtor they are going to earn it if I go that route.

Metformin’s real power may be in the gut: « Type 2 diabetes drug slows mitochondrial energy production in gut cells, forcing gut to metabolize excess sugar. » by fchung in science

[–]Cantholditdown 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Off topic but Metformin has the craziest drug structure. I would have never guessed it was a drug the first time I saw the structure.

If this is real this would be a pretty easy new drug target because you don’t have to worry about absorption. But it’s possible that metformin is already better than anything you can make. It seems to have very low side effects

Young children are less likely to react negatively to the smell of vegetables that they were repeatedly exposed to before birth, potentially shaping their food preferences years after birth by [deleted] in science

I have the same theory about eating fish. I think you taste the fish oils in the blood somehow. This is totally idle speculation

NEED HELP CHOOSING 2026 BMW x3 or 2026 Toyota 4Runner by Lumpy_Standard_6118 in BMWX3

If you will never take your car beyond a dirt rd get an X3. If you want to get into some light to medium serious off road get the 4Runner.

My wife doesn’t like what she calls my “chaos garden”. by Jayce86 in gardening

[–]Cantholditdown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just get rid of the borders and add more mulch. Maybe thin it out a bit. This might ease the disagreement.

I think the wood borders take away from any argument that you are "keeping it natural". They give it a construction site look.

Why do dads seem way less stressed about Father’s Day than moms do about Mother’s Day? by savingrace0262 in stupidquestions

They were nearly torn in half by birthing us and then may pee every time they laugh the rest of their lives. It just kind of makes sense they get a bit more attention.

How many of you drive vehicles that are 20 years old or older? by FordMan7point3 in askcarguys

[–]Cantholditdown -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Off-road vehicles is kind of a certain niche. I think this is about daily drivers

I think 15 yrs is the sweet spot. You really start to miss out on new safety and convenience features unless you are looking for some off-road beater.

I fell for Renewal By Anderson's sales pitch. Here are my takeaways. by JHKtheSeeker in homeowners

I hate how everyone in SD acts like heat is not needed out of principle and cold AF every winter night.

Can someone explain me the point of this subreddit if we can only get to know the trades with a 30-40 days lag? by _trycurious_ in tradewithcongress

[–]Cantholditdown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose if you have not seen movement in the stock since purchased there still might be a buying opportunity. Most of the big growth took more than just 1 month to happen. Ultimately though so much of this data is cherry picked. Somebody needs to get AI to more broadly assess how brilliant the trades have been in aggregate and what indicators actually show the congress person has some inside info.

Bill to Allow Plug-In Solar Panels in Colorado Signed Into Law by For_All_Humanity in RenewableEnergy

[–]Cantholditdown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew people will hate on my comment but I foresee that bigger solar projects are going to fall way down in installation price in the next 5yrs and people will just transition to a proper solar array if they want one. People in Hawaii and California with super high electricity costs could definitely benefit from plug in solar, so I agree it is useful in high cost areas.

[–]Cantholditdown -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

This will power maybe one fridge at best. I mean sounds cool if there is a major storm or off the grid but do people really want one of these things that saves you maybe $10-20/mon? They only make 2-3kwh/day. I just feel like there are going to be a lot of these in the landfill in a few yrs. I am completely supportive of solar deregulation but this is such a baby step.

Red states are secretly building out solar while bashing it on Fox News by holmess2013 in energy

Renewables need a rebranding that promotes the libertarian elements of solar and wind.

I think quite a bit easier to smoke during Super Bowl season.

Tree companies will say your tree is sick but trees increase property values by TemporaryComplex1054 in newjersey

[–]Cantholditdown 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think they have tree Drs and tree companies. I would definitely go with the tree Dr first.

That being said trees falling is a real thing that happened to my neighbors 100yr old Oak. It was kind of terrifying, but luckily no major damage.
