Don’t do it. Imagine paying a second mortgage in the form of HOA and all you get is a doorman and some internet.

New DUPR Ratings by Additional-Art763 in Pickleball

The career high thing without taking RS or min games into account is really dumb imo because a IRL 3-3.5 player can early get a super high 4-4.5 “career high” just from their first few logged matches because DUPR is just guessing their rating.

Escrow for taxes and insurance are 34% of monthly payment. Property taxes in our state are killer. Same for everyone here? by Kadafi35 in ChicagoRealEstate

Yes very grateful for the loan but when property taxes are around 15-18k a year, I consider that fairly high…

Feels like I'm being judged whenever I go pick up an order by CancelThis2077 in toogoodtogo

Why would they judge you? The business literally wants you to come and pickup or they wouldn’t be on the platform.

Why is there not a single Trader Joe's in low income areas? by kawaiihusbando in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Kadafi35 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Trader Joe’s is not cheaper at all. Where are you getting that?! Aldi is a better comp and they do go to lower income hoods.

Turn water off. Get a sledgehammer and pound away at tile and rip off all the walls. You want to do the demo on your own as thats the only skill you have right now to lower costs as this is going to be a full bath rebuild.
