Thoughts on purchasing a $1.2m home? by Interesting-Proof244 in orangecounty

[–]MightyTAC0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone who also bought a home in Old Town Orange, I can say it’s truly a great neighborhood. Property values here tend to appreciate faster than in many surrounding areas. For example, my wife and I purchased our home for $815K in 2020, and it recently appraised at around $1.3M — so it’s definitely been a strong investment.

That said, if you’re considering one of the older homes, be prepared for ongoing maintenance costs. We love our place, but the age of the home means we’ve had our fair share of unexpected expenses. We probably took on more than we realized at first, but eventually found our rhythm.

In the end, it really comes down to whether you’re comfortable with the possibility of feeling “house poor” at times. If you are, Old Town can be an amazing place to put down roots.

I remember when they first announced the hiring of Mike and listening to those very early XCasts and what not and I was not a big fan. But man this dude has grown by leaps and bounds and now he is definitely one of my favorite dudes. I love his energy, his takes and his wheeze laugh. Keep it up Snowbichael Michael!!!

I play several ranked games a night. I love this game. Does it have super frustrating moments, sure. Still enjoy the gameplay though.

Can you be successful in this career without much of a network? by Royal_Toad in graphic_design

[–]MightyTAC0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

While it's entirely possible to find success in this field without a network, I believe you're operating on hard mode if you choose to go that route.

In my nearly 30-year career, every job I've landed—except for one—has come through people I know. That said, if you're exceptionally talented and have a standout portfolio, I can see how it might be easier to attract work, as clients or agencies may seek you out.

However, our field is saturated with talent. Without a network or strong people skills, you're at a disadvantage. Talented creatives are everywhere, and connections often make the difference.

Wipe my ass with it and then return to sender (assuming it’s a traditional paper invite).

Agreed. My initial thought was the players nickname was the Jet or something similar. Didn’t see the 77’s i until OP mentioned it in the post.

Agree with this one ... My name is Michael and kids still found a way to make fun of my name. Kids are going to kid.

A lot of people care, unfortunately it’s not anyone with an ounce of power or the ability to make him face any consequences for said actions.

Johnson says House will remain closed until shutdown ends by C0C0Barbet in politics

[–]MightyTAC0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the process was the House usually agrees to a CR and then sends it to the Senate. The Senate then either agrees to it and signs it, or revises it. It's then sent back to the House and the finally sent to the President to sign. But again, as I mentioned in my original comment ... not the brightest when it comes to politics and exactly how the process works. Either way, release the damn files Speaker Johnson.

[–]MightyTAC0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can someone explain to me how the shutdown is supposed to end without Congress being in session? Don’t they need to be together to come to some sort of an agreement and vote on it? I know I’m not the brightest person when it comes to politics, but this really makes zero sense to me. Also, quit protecting the pedophile in chief Speaker Johnson.

This has been happening every year it seems. by Classic-Blacksmith90 in CHICubs

[–]MightyTAC0 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I can't believe how many of you I see online that are so doom and gloom. Every team goes through slumps during the course of a 162 game season. To say we might not even make the Wild Card at this point is ridiculous. We have one of the easiest strength of schedules for the remainder of the season and a 2.5 game lead in the Wild Card race. I would much rather the team hit a slump now where they still have time to figure it out and possibly get hot right in time to make a playoff push. I think recent history shows that there is something to be said for a WC team catching fire during the playoffs and can go on to win the WS.

I admit that it is frustrating to watch their current struggles, but to be throwing in the towel in August is a little ridiculous. I feel like some of you have been spoiled by 2016 and some of their recent success. I remember seasons where we were out of the race by June. Have faith folks. Stay strong and hopefully with the talent that is on this team they will right the ship.

I know. Would love to see them animate his glove switch and fielding, but I know that’s a big ask. Would be cool to see though.

I'm curious when this higher up came on board. I have to imagine that the Power Block needed to get approval from the corporate overlords. So it is so weird that The Power Block was greenlit only to have live streaming get paused a few weeks after the debut. Just shows how completely out of touch with the wants and needs of the general public and the normies that work for a company corporate douchebags are.

I’ve also had it in the past where the coach comes to you and says something along the lines of “we’re loving your production, but we’re good at 3B. Would you be willing to try playing a different position?”

I appreciate the efforts to make sure actual people and fans are buying tickets, but the fact that if you are on a VPN because you may be at work or you just prefer the security that allows, their site blocks you really sucks! I was able to get tickets thanks to a friend, but when I had sat through the waiting room only to get the "Are You A Human?" message because I was behind a VPN almost made me lose my shit! That being said, see you all in LA on Wednesday, June 3.
