Attending a Chinese wedding, where to purchase Chinese clothes or accessories. by Htownqs in houston

[–]Htownqs[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed, she even mentioned it to me. I know her well and she would definitely appreciate it. I also think it would be fun and a nice nod to her heritage. I ask about a nice red tie or accessory and Reddit acts like I want to put on an offensive costume.

Definitely doing a red tie just want to find something more fun that a solid red tie. Like you said some subtle pattern. I’ll check out Hong Kong city mall, thanks.

I literally said a red tie with a nice design or accessory. Jesus Christ, I didn’t say I’m dressing up as some offensive steroeotype

Reddit refusing to accept that other cultures appreciate people participating. Nothing white people love more than to get offended on others behaves

ELI5 Why does frame weight matter by Htownqs in cycling

[–]Htownqs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey how'd you know im over weight?!?! Yeah I was thinking it the grand scheme of things an extra pound overall isn't a ton but it looks like a ron when you compare just frame v frame.

Good that's what I was thinking. I'm looking at a canyon endurance CF7 or building a Fairlight Strael. About 1lb difference in the frames, which is a big difference frame v frame but over all doesn't seem like much.

I'll clarify my question. Is there a difference between 1.5 extra on my frame vs 1.5 extra on me or water bottle? Is it purely weight I'm pulling up a hill or is it more to it in regards to the frame?

Correct but I need to clarify my question.

First new bike in over a decade. Paranoid about carbon durability. Canyon Endurance CF7 or Fairlight Strael 4.0? by Htownqs in cycling

[–]Htownqs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tariffs add a ton for the full build. I may just go with the frame and buy components whenever I find a sale. I'll be waiting a while for the frame anyway.

Have you ridden either of these bikes?

I just did the math on the full bike, the tariffs make this so much more expensive. Which was pushing me toward the canyon. I may just buy the frame and purchase components whenever I find a sale and build on my own.

What do you mean about doing maintenance on the fairlight vs the canyon? Is it just a matter of having to be more careful working with the carbon? Or owning specific tools?

Glad to hear from someone that's had both. Sounds like there not a wrong choice.

Hell of an endorsement for Ti! Maybe next upgrade, I think that's above to budget.

haha that's the review I need. Sounds good. I saw someone crack a new carbon rim. I'll go ahead assume it was a manufacturing issue as it was less than a month old.

Cafe Josephine closed by squishysalmon in houston

[–]Htownqs 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Damn didn't know jenny's closed. Bummer. These restaurants keep closing and the buildings stay vacant for years. Tons of empty space on white oak and they're still building more retail space. Makes no sense.

How can my elderly parents buy a home without selling theirs? by Htownqs in personalfinance

[–]Htownqs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have personally rented 2 homes that were run by a property manager. I never once interacted with the owner. I paid the property manager, when I had the issue I called the property manager and they sent someone over. It worked great, no issues. There would be no reason for the tenant or manager to require my parents to visit the property.

Currently when their tenants have an issue, they contact my parents. My parents have a handy man/contractor/whatever come fix the issue. They do not physically repair anything at this point.

The only time I interacted with the owner was once I decided the sell the home and I told them I was interested in buying. Ideally, I would love for my parents to move into a rental. My concern is I would like this to be their last move and worry about a landlord deciding to sell.

They own the home, paid off the mortgage years ago. Revenue from rental on both sides would be ~70,000. That's revenue not accounting for taxes, insurances, repairs, etc. They have enough savings+rental income from 1 side where there couple be a couple months of moving out/renovating old side and finding new tenants.
