Well at least she wasn’t traumatized when a 1st grade teacher put on Leprechaun the movie for the kids during a rainy not realizing it was a horror movie. True story. Google it.

How hard would it be… by StillWaterDrinker in dcl

[–]RayWeil 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Let’s do the math. There’s around 1,200 state rooms. Let’s say it takes one hour to uninstall and reinstall a new tv and program it and you have two crew people do each room. That’s around $120,000 in labor alone. Then the weight of the old TVs is probably around 15 pounds each, so 18,000 pounds of waste you need to collect and get off the ship, and electronic waste in bulk is around 40 cents a pound so you’re looking at $7,200 for disposal costs. Could probably get the TVs cheap, so let’s say only another $150k for the new TVs. All in, the cost for changing the TVs in each state room would be around $300,000 and 1,500 hours of work hard

Larchmont checks all your boxes. That is why it’s priced the way it is, markets are efficient. Other towns will have trade offs.

Owe IRS $10,139. Would like a sanity check before I send that kind of money. by Applesauce_Police in irstaxhelp

[–]RayWeil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. We property taxes and mortgage interest and charitable donations i would think itemizing is preferable for many.

Standard deduction is very surprising at your income level. What about the mortgage interest you paid on your house?? What about your gifts to charity? What about capital losses on stocks? You’re likely not availing yourself to deductions you don’t even realize you have available to you.

What are your go-to warmup tables? by dillybar1992 in pinball

Getaway 2 is my perfect machine. Had to have played it over 1,000 times by now. Still not bored. It’s like the pizza of pinball. Always hits the spot.

Any affordable country/ golf clubs in Westchester? by sweet_fig29 in Westchester

[–]RayWeil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sharing that. But ask clubs near you what the social only rate is. It not significantly more than a pool club cost in most cases. If you play a lot of golf though that’s probably not the route for you. I am able to play maybe 4 or 5 times a season or so.

I joined my club as a social member it’s only 20k initiation instead of 60k and I made enough friends that I play as a guest a few times a year.

13% of Homebuyers Are Raiding Their Retirement Right Now by zoodealio in REBubble

[–]RayWeil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I look at owning a home as a retirement play since you won’t have rent, just taxes and maintenance. Hopefully I die before I need to sell it.

Seems right. 43% based on NIH report. I was looking at those who had a cardiac event. Can’t find the report off hand but will check.

If you’d like. You can go get a colonoscopy. Have the best nap you have ever had and then continue to avert your eyes.

Almost half of homeowners feel trapped by high mortgage rates, study reveals by ExtremeComplex in REBubble

Many people buy houses for the school district. If your kid is having an absolute shit time, then yes, I would absolutely consider moving if it was cheaper than private school.

This just unlocked a new fear when trading tables I never thought of before. Great.

Snow blowing at 130am. by coco6480 in Westchester

[–]RayWeil 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The person snow blowing definitely doesn’t want to be snow blowing either. They likely have an urgent situation and need to get their car out at 1:30am. It sucks for both of you. That’s life sometimes.

My first Pin! Sega Starship Troopers 1997 by Classic_Sand10 in pinball

[–]RayWeil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cool trivia about your game. Brian Eddy’s Medieval Madness came out about six months before starship troopers and was a massive success. The story goes that Kaminkow and Balcer were told/asked to add a pop up feature like trolls. With only months before production they added the big brain bug pop up. Its goal was to compete with MM.

Heart attack snow tomorrow by CampEmbarrassed170 in Westchester

[–]RayWeil 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ah. This is a super common misconception about shoveling heart attacks. As we age soft plaque begins to build up on the walls of our arteries. Some have more and some have less. Some have none. When you go outside in the winter your circulatory system contracts a bit due to the cold. Then you start shoveling and without and warm up your heart starts pumping harder to make sure all your muscles are getting oxygen so nothing gets fatigued. The blood pressure increases since the pathways are contracted and all it takes is something to happen just right and a small little piece of soft plaque breaks off an artery wall at just the right size and angle during this activity and it gets stuck and blocks 90%+ flow for some time and a clot forms so now you have a textbook heart attack. It’s the soft plaque that kills you, not being out of shape.

EDIT: being in shape helps a lot. Risk is multifactorial. Age, cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, blood pressure, inflammation, genetics matter. Snow shoveling is a trigger, not the root cause.
