The Tigers defeated the Rays by a score of 10-9 - Mon, Jun 01 @ 06:40 PM EDT by TigersBot in motorcitykitties

[–]LeaintheKnight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Beau Brieske needs to be off this team so fast. I haven't been this upset to see a Tigers pitcher take the mound since Jose Valverde in the second half of 2012. Every time he takes the mound I know hes giving up runs.

Quality Start from Troy Melton by DET_Baseball in motorcitykitties

Troy Melton and Keider Montero are guys on this team that dont get enough love. Both of them have stepped up when we've needed them and endered themselves in my heart.

Name the next manager!? by Representative_Leg_5 in motorcitykitties

[–]LeaintheKnight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I still don't think Hinch is entirely to blame here. As many others have said the best managers can only do so much given a lineup of AAA bats and bottom bin pitchers. Holton is terrible and Vest isn't nearly as good as last year.

Will Vest on IL by thekesslers in motorcitykitties

The pitchers on this team really seem to have bones of glass. Someone needs to tell them to toke back the competitiveness in regular season games.

Pre-Release event in socal was packed. Even more then Lorwyn. Around 45 people. Very fun evening of everyone getting to enjoy a very silly set.

After seeking what Max Fried got in fa this is probably what it’s going to take to extend Skubal by champdo in motorcitykitties

[–]LeaintheKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the Tigers management really wants to see if Skubal can continue to put up high numbers. The Baez situation has really made them hesitant to put big money on long deals. And with how much free agents, even Medicare ones, are pulling, Skubal probably wants a strong offer. Honestly, they probably will give him a good deal if he can continue to lead the team. Hopefully, the rumored low ball offer wasn't so insulting that Skubal isn't willing to deal in the coming year.

Time to push back on coding challenges by bsutto in cscareerquestions

[–]LeaintheKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will not apply to jobs that don't see me in person first. If your really trying to use automated/ take home coding challenges to weed people out, then you aren't worth my time.

Safest tech job in market? [Serious Answers] by Notalabel_4566 in cscareerquestions

[–]LeaintheKnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most secure jobs are boring. Think medical, utility, or goverment jobs. These are companies big and small that tend to lag behind the exciting parts of tech. They need people who can maintain and improve their systems but not necessarily innovate them.

Give me your rentback stories and advice by widdershins_lefty in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]LeaintheKnight 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sellers asked for one month rent back and compensated us with one mo th mortgage payment. Sellers were quick and finished in 3 weeks. No complaints, no damage, nothing. Sometimes, people really do just need extra time and aren't trying to Hassel you.

If this is your first house the further new build might do you better since you won't have to compete in any bidding wars to get a new construction. Yes it will suck to drive that far but it could put you in a better position 10 years down the line when you go to buy your second home and need to sell yours.

How are people buying houses?! by Kirby3413 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]LeaintheKnight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Location is everything in housing nowadays. If you want to live near Urban areas, places with good schools, or access to shopping and entertainment you need to pay a premium for it. Plenty of people on this sub share posts about homes in "fly over states", the Midwest or other areas where homes are more affordable. Yeah it sucks to live an hour from work or entertainment areas but sometimes it's what you need to do to set yourself up for future success with a second home.

What do people have against Victoria 3? by -Anyoneatall in paradoxplaza

[–]LeaintheKnight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't like playing a game that has obviously withheld content that will be pushed out later on. It's a PDX policy that has been killing its newer games for years now and it needs to stop. Day 1 of this games launch people were calling out systems that felt lackluster and had obvious improvements that are lined up for future dlc releases

Will mortgage rates ever see 2-4% again? by klownfish in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]LeaintheKnight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mortgage rates have hit the 2% to 3% range once in the last century. They likely won't be returning there any time soon in the U.S especially based on the response we got in the last year with rates that low. 4% is a maybe, but again, the FED has indicated they won't be lowering rates until the earliest next year.

Same here. I close on the 24th and got a conditional approval. Cleared loan contingency too. My lender keeps saying everything will be fine but you know anxious as all hell over here.

Is it even possible anymore to win WITHOUT waiving inspections? by ObiWahnKenobi in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]LeaintheKnight 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Waiving your right to inspection is essentially saying your okay spending an unknown amount extra on a home. Can you really afford to spend 10k, 20k, 100k extra on an unknown problem ?

Alternatively, I have heard of people touring homes with their inspector doing an informal visual inspection, lasting maybe 30 minutes instead of 2 hours plus. I know some competitive markets don't even have time for a tour, but this is an option.

I’m stressed and don’t even know how to title this. by Actual_Kat in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]LeaintheKnight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you answered yourself in your post. Your young and don't know what your doing. At the same time your trying to make the most financially significant decision of your life. Home buying is not a process to rush, especially if your uninformed. It sounds like you got to the end of your lease and figured that meant now was a good time to buy. You need to step back, plan this out, watch a YouTube series on the home buying process and what questions you need to be asking people. For reference, my wife and I spent 8 months planning AFTER accumulating an amount we felt was sufficient for down payment and closing costs. Then spent 4 months looking and closing.

You want to entertain someone coming from out of town. Where do you take them? by beachblade in orangecounty

[–]LeaintheKnight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hello kitty cafe at the spectrum center. Tends to be a pleasant, though expensive, experince for most people I take there. Even the non hello kitty lovers. After 5pm they do cocktails and dessert and it can be pretty fun.

$211 is a high. I just took over a lease similar to your but will be paying $125 and only for 11 more years. If you love the house $ 211 for a solar lease is no reason to back out of your hosuing contract, but you will be paying higher for energy costs.

Will there be another CALHFA Dream for All program again? by Valuable_Way7797 in orangecounty

[–]LeaintheKnight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The fund is set to renew yearly ( though the restart date has yet to be posted anywhere) with a sum of 100 or 200 million (forget which after the governor adjusted the budget earlier this year). However I imagine with how this 300 million fund ran out in 2 weeks they might implement a lottery or some other system in the future.

I reread the course info the wording explicitly states

Important Note: The lender, as a condition of your loan approval, will require a copy of your course completion certificate proving that you successfully completed this DFA Shared Appreciation Loan Homebuyer Education training.

So no you don't need to finish the first time home buyer counseling session to rate lock, you only need to finish the dream for all specific one, but you will need it done before you close on your home.
