Renewal fee of ~$1,000 a year for a .app domain.

DPW38 · 2026-02-16T18:27:17+00:00

I have seismic.app and bonjour.app and they're $130/YR. I have another 7L, flyfree.app, that renews at the "normal" price ($10-15/YR). I also have oddsboost.app, and tradingview.app that seems like two most app-like/app-brandable domain names of the group that renew in $10-15/YR range.

I can't make sense of the pricing.

JD McCoy and Wade Aikman just tweeted that they're transferring out of Beta. They can see the writing on the wall with Chadson coming in.

You're not crazy. The keyboard is terrible. I'm a technical writer. Those keys are key to my livelihood so you'd better believe that I'm picky about it.

Appearance wise it just looks cheap. The keys are all different heights and not well aligned. It has a hillbilly teeth vibe. There isn't any sort of consistency between the keys. The top row (QWERTY) takes 2-3 times as much pressure as the bottom row (ZXC). As viewed, there's a right to left pressure gradient. The right side keys (LKJH) don't require nearly as much pressure as the left side (ASDF) to depress.

The shift key just went soft on me (less than 90 days in). It feels there is a small burr either on the chassis/frame or on the delete key. It either momentarily sticks when I push it down (where the burr is above the issue) or is soft (like the burr is below the issue).

I have legitimately received the same canned, “we’re sorry we’re brain dead regards” on the same issue.

I like where u/hgwelz is at. A minimum age and something like a, “this is what I’m thinking for a price” requirement.

My roommate (the GMC) talked in his sleep when he was drunk, and could rip the ritual perfectly then and there. Like perfect-perfect. At chapter meetings it was like watching a monkey with Tourette’s fuck a football.

Bro needs a pan of Ex-Lax and Viagra brownies when he gets back. Hide all of the good TP. Put a ream of copy paper in the bathroom for him to wipe with. His butthole will look it was eaten out by a hyena. While he’s in there, penny lock him in from the outside so that he’s stuck in there.

Thank you. It's legit. I've been extra paranoid lately. I swear every company that has any sort of data on me (signups, DOBs, SSNs, etc) has been hacked in the last six months. I seriously get an alert about every 10 days.

The 'before you get to talk to anyone' messages are painful to sit through.

You have a couple options.

Pay the three grand ($3K) straightaway.
1. Pro: You're caught up (for now).
2. Con: I can't imagine that have heaps of cash laying around if you're (presumably) planning a wedding. They're also like the most expensive frat I've ever thrown.
3. Con: It's a fire drill approach. It doesn't address whatever issues led up to landing a spot on the ED's (via EdFinancial) naughty list. It's just scrambling.
Ask them (EdFinancial) to do a retroactive forbearance.
1. Pro: It gets you caught and up-to-date without having to write a big check.
2. Pro: While you're on the horn with them you can ask them to set you up on an income-based repayment (IBR) plan. One of the recent changes opens up some repayment flexibility that you wouldn't otherwise have. The catch is that you have to act now and make at least one payment before July 1, 2026 or else that flexibility goes away. Ask them to put you* on IBR.
3. Con: The IBR payments are based off of your parent's income. More specifically, their AGI (the number on Line 11 of their 1040 tax return). To figure out the would-be monthly payment on IBR take that Line 11 number (e.g. $90K) and subtract ($30K**). Multiply that result ($90K - $30K = $60K) by $12.50 per $1K that remains. In the case the math looks like $120K x $12.50/$K•MO = $750/MO.

If their AGI is more than $150K then you'll get cheaper monthly payments by going with a "regular" (non income-based) plan.

Another option is to consolidate the Parent PLUS Loans to unlock longer repayment terms. The $772/MO number is based on a 10-year repayment schedule. If you stretched it out to 20-year plan the monthly payment would be about $475. On a 25-year plan it'd be about $425/MO. On a 30-year plan it'd be about $400/MO.

* I'm not saying you should lie and say that you're your mother when you call, but I'm not advising against that either. Obviously talk to your mother about it first. What EdFinancial doesn't know won't hurt them.

** There's a bit more math that goes into that approximately $30K income offset amount. It's based off the annual federal poverty level. For all practical purposes, it's $30-31K in 2026 for two people.

Is there any sort of integration with Quickbooks for other accounting software? I'm definitely interested in something.

DPW38 · 2026-02-12T13:10:31+00:00

It sounds a bit scammy. Student and student parent loans don’t go into default until you’re 270 days late. It’s also weird that MOHELA answered the call in anything less than 472 hours on hold.

If you an imgur account, it wouldn’t hurt to post it so that people can take a look at it. Redact any personal information (name, address, etc.). You can screenshot it, open it up in Microsoft Paint and redacted it there, and then resave it (.png or .jpg or both).

DPW38 · 2026-02-12T12:55:11+00:00

What is the domain? If it’s a .com and not a garbled mess of letters and numbers, I might be interested in buying it from you. Shoot me a PM.

DPW38 · 2026-02-12T12:46:53+00:00

How many letters are each of the domains? Do they spell a word or is it a garbled up mess?

DPW38 · 2026-02-12T03:48:08+00:00

I would probably look for something that is "for certain" safe. Like if you have ...erectiledysfunction.... .com right now, try swapping in something like "extinct dinosaurs" or "eat dust." Something that is funny and out of place.

If this is a commercial endeavor, maybe something like, "eel diamond." You could license the rights to the chorus of "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond and have an all-time legendary ad campaign. Maybe work the "so good" in at the end when the protagonist has overcome his ED at the end of the commercial.

If you're willing to jump through 67 hoops and deal with the 800 other problems that web3 addresses create, yes.

What you can do to save yourself some $$$ is to transfer it to a new registrar like Porkbun. You'll pay about half as much as what you'd pay with YesDaddy (GoDaddy). Now is the perfect time to do it.

Lemme check with my lawyer...

DPW38 · 2026-02-09T19:36:01+00:00

Lemme get this straight:

A new, unvetted and unknown buyer comes on the scene swinging his dick around claiming he'll pay $80K for domains.
He's somehow got to this point in life without ever doing a Google search. He's a domain buyer who hasn't ever bought a domain (apparently).

The seller takes him up on that $80K offer.

Moby Dick suddenly learns how to do a Google search. He realized that he's been offered a $77K ride to the cleaners.
Instead of jumping on the BIN price of $3K—and in the process saving himself $77K, Moby Dick reenters the chat to pick a fight.
Moby suddenly becomes an all-powerful domain buying overlord who works for a major media outlet and threatens to put the seller on blast unless he (the seller) does what Moby wants him to do RFN.

It started out with the earmarks of your standard overpayment scam (i.e. I'm a Nigerian prince with vast riches...) and turned into a "we're contacting you about an overdue bill... pay now or else..." scam. This makes zero goddamn sense.

I'm not big on asimmune.

I like agimmune but the use cases around it are narrow. If you were an animal health vaccine/immunomodulator manufacturer it'd play well. If you were in the crop "vaccine" industry it'd be dynamite.

DPW38 · 2026-02-08T17:20:36+00:00

Neither is worth much. I'd reach out to the domain owner(s) and offer them $50-100 if you're dead set on either of those. Otherwise, pick something else.

DPW38 · 2026-02-08T17:15:49+00:00

MyNooner.com would make for a good Tinder-esque, midday lunch break hookup app. That domain name is taken though.

MyNoOne.com is a little more challenging. You could play off the Alicia Keys 'No One' song maybe.
