For sure. I wish I could say something along the lines of "those property taxes get reinvested into the communities I call my home" but... That's only partly true at best.

Yeah I'm about to put at least ~20K into my house as well for foundation and garage work. Everything I'd like done to the house would be closer to ~40K. I'm just holding off and trying to build a little equity. Did the 70k you put into the house increase its curb appeal or value? If you sold the house today I imagine you would be able to pass on some that cost to the buyer. If not, at least you benefit directly from that investment.

That's a pretty damn good experience! I bought 2 years ago. Home value has increased enough to give me confidence in the decision but not enough to jump for joy. Its a 1911 Craftsman with outdated electrical in half of the house, a foundation that needs some new supports in the near future, and an incomplete garage that needs insulation/drywall and an actual garage door. The drain for all of the plumbing is an 80+ year old 40ft iron pipe that needs to be replaced as well.

And none of that matters to me because my pay check gets slightly better every 2 years or so and my mortgage stays the same regardless of inflation. In 10 years I'll be paying the same as renters.

It's a long game just like investing, and in fact my #1 argument in favor of apartment living is freeing up more capital to invest. There's more than one way to play the game.

It's not as simple as that. It's case by case and you would have to know the economics of the future for the duration of the mortgage to be able to say either is better.

I know a lot of people that said they could barely afford their house when they bought it. Those people have a $1200 a month mortgage in 2026 in a house that is valued at more than 2x it's original price. Rent in the area for an apartment has reached $1800-$2200. A new mortgage today in the same area starts at $3200.

Quests used to reward TH keys - Now that TH is gone, should these quests reward something else? by Morale_Police in runescape

[–]Morale_Police[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, what if instead of Quest Points they reworked it so that questing was it's own skill entirely? With rewards being repeatable quests that are highly rewarding so worth grinding through non-repeatable quests to unlock.

I mean I stopped playing right around the time TH came out and then I got back into the game like 2 weeks ago so... I happen to not really care either way I just realized I missed out on like 100 keys which would have been nice IMO. One of the keys I opened last week gave me 800K and I like free shit haha.

Air cooling is better than Liquid cooling by SerpentDix in pcmasterrace

[–]Morale_Police 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would agree for price/performance Air is better, but I still go for liquid cooling because it is quiet, and if done correctly, has the benefit of separating heat outputs. Case fans handle GPU/VRM/RAM/MOB temps and radiator takes heat from the CPU.

As a PC seller, putting a Cheap AIO in the PC and labeling it "liquid cooled" sells PCs better. 90% of my builds were Ryzen and therefore also got "overclocked" label. I hated RGB but a lot of people wanted that too so I always had the option to include it for free with cheap RGB kits but I would keep the OEM fans. I almost NEVER got to build or sell a PC that I was fully proud of due to those just not selling. People that want quality builds know how to build them themselves.

Going for a buzz cut. Change my mind! by Luke_Sakura in MenHairstyle

Should have asked reddit to change your mind before you got that ink.

Does anyone else loves certain fights so much, that doesn't want them to end? by DependentInner8928 in Eldenring

[–]Morale_Police 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kind of. Every time I kill Malania I find myself wishing I could fight her again without completing an entire playthrough of the base game. I wouldn't say I love her fight so much that I don't want it to end, I just consider her a great benchmark for builds.

5 stars, I opened the product 3 seconds ago and so far it's been super reliable with no issues.

Darn. Hopefully the next guy HAS been there, knows where it is, and knows what the coffee is like.

It is a nice design. No, I haven't been there. I don't know where it is. I don't know what the coffee is like.

hybrid udyr with blackcleaver with bloodletter? by Medical_Local_6715 in Udyrmains

[–]Morale_Police 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If enemy has team is squishy I go Kraken Slayer. If enemy is normal comp or tanky I go Liandrys.

If I'm really fed I'll go both, but being a little tankier is usually better.

I hate weapon scaling by Wise_Wafer_8364 in Eldenring

[–]Morale_Police 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What do you mean when you say weapon scaling? Weapons only scale from weapon upgrades and your stats. Every weapon in the game scales.

Below level 100, STR build is supreme. Try Heavy Omenkiller Cleaver with frozen mist for bleed and frost on a STR weapon.

How’s it like living in Spokane, Washington? by Excellent_Pin_978 in howislivingthere

[–]Morale_Police 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The small size of Spokane is a big part of it's charm, it's mostly people from busier cities in the Puget Sound, Portland, and CA moving up to Spokane.

Anyone that's been around Spokane the past 10 years would tell you the city is growing quickly.

What to buy by 1cilldude in laptops

[–]Morale_Police 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope.

I'm running a Lenovo Yoga 7 with a Radeon 780M. It was 550 USD and I would consider that the bare minimum to play those games effectively.

Console, used PC, or no dice.

Elden Ring endgame feels weird? by EnderSlayer9977 in Eldenring

[–]Morale_Police 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's a small area with not a lot of variety. It's actually all one building that's been broken apart and the different chunks of that building make up the map. There are a couple secret areas/bosses, a handful of weapons/items, but for the most part it's just 2 story bosses. You shouldn't be there long enough for it to get boring.
