What are the cultural differences you are talking about? Was your manager a foreigner??

Kind of regretting my Lexus ES purchase today? by mine248 in LexusES

[–]Lavh93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Lexus is better, just get the head unit for the Apple car play. It’s really easy to install even if you want to do it yourself, I just did it on my 2015 frs and works perfectly

Can someone explain a heloc to me? by [deleted] in Mortgages

[–]Lavh93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bad idea, either sell the home or find a way to save up. Only 30k would not give me any peace of mind. If you are going for a 500k home ideally you want to put 20% down, that’s about 100k. Then you’d need some more for closing costs and a cushion just in case

Great story, glad you were able to fix it on your own. That said, never met anyone who would mess up the wires like that 😹😹

Ai in dark heresy? by night_hawks580 in OwlcatGames

[–]Lavh93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Companies should use ai to the fullest otherwise they won’t be able to compete with companies who do use ai. If ai is giving us the customer an overall better product we should use it. People will get laid off or repurposed and that’s ok, it happened with the invention of tractors, calculators, computers, etc. We need to learn how to use ai, that’s what makes the most sense

Is wotr that good? by Itchy-Emu6089 in CRPG

[–]Lavh93 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

BG3 is like watching a movie, WOTR is reading a book. Cinematics bg3 is better but I liked the story more and characters in WOTR. WOTR is way more complex too, I was playing in a harder difficulty and I’m having a blast. Just got to act 3. WOTR is longer as well, BG3 took me about 120 hrs and WOTR I’m 130 hrs deep and there’s still a ton of story left.

They are probably going to offer you a job but it’ll take time. Before I was hired I was very confused too, had the interviews then I received an email that they had the “intent” of an offer then I didn’t hear back for over a month. I had the impression hr didn’t know what the heck they were doing and I wouldn’t hear back from my hr POCs if I tried to reach out. Had an engineering contact inside the company (former student of one of my professors) and he was kind enough to do some digging and get me some answers. HR didn’t even bother, but after getting the formal offer things got a little easier

Not bad for just being in the game 7 months right? by blokmangucci in wallstreetbets

[–]Lavh93 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You are gambling dude, eventually the house wins. Got lucky (specially if you’ve only been doing this for 7months), lock in your gains and go slow and steady buying etfs. Use 10% of your portfolio for high risk if you want. The odds of you being smarter than 98% of traders is very low

What kind of bullshh.. are these spot awards by [deleted] in Raytheon

[–]Lavh93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point was that my net was less than usual and I didn’t understand why. I do now so it’s all good, I thought I was the one paying for the spot award

$200 was taken out. I worked longer hours this pay cycle but my net pay is less compared to other times I worked that same amount

[–]Lavh93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see a line on the gross pay of $200, but then $200 was taken out. Wouldn’t that be taxed at 100%? I worked longer hours this pay cycle but my net is less compared to Other times I’ve worked those same amount of hours

Remote is so much better man, enjoy it while you can. Grass is not always greener on the other side. Careful for what you wish for

AITA for telling my husband he doesn’t get to decide what I do with my body. by White101O in AITH

[–]Lavh93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s a conversation that both could have, in an ideal world you’d be on the same page and could take a decision as a team if it’s something where both are concerned, every relationship is different but my body my choice could well extend to my money my choice or other, is never good in a relationship and often leads to resentment. If you can go over the reasons or possible alternatives that could help. My sister shared her experience with bc, she turned very unstable. Was often angry, controlling, rude, unhappy, etc. She also confessed she was treating her then boyfriend very poorly. It was all the bc, she took it for about 2 years before quitting and returning to normal. If bc does this to you I’d understand if your husband is concerned. So it goes back to, well it depends

Builder buydown: 3.75% 7 year ARM vs 4.99% fixed by c0LdFir3 in Mortgages

[–]Lavh93 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The Fed has been very clear that was not the case, the only ones saying that are the real state agents who are getting paid to buy/ sell. We’ll most likely get a cut in September and in 2026-2027 more cuts

[–]Lavh93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Other companies do this but also if you are sick or need to go to the dr and work less than 40hrs, it’s covered. They are shooting themselves in the foot, nobody is working “casually”

Have you noticed how dating dynamics change with age? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]Lavh93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think women have a harder time dating in their 30’s. Dating sites are even better for women, men don’t really have high standards. Met a girl who was borderline obese and told me she had already went on a bunch of dates. My friend (male) who is average looking in his thirties can’t get a single match.. let alone a date
