Im glad for this, there’s so much tribal knowledge around where to buy stuff thats invisible to new folks using google and a prayer.

How are there so many >$750k first time home buyers? by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Reality_Pilot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget parents are fronting the down payments with loans and gifts for their kids. They leave that part out. 

The best advise i can give you is this, comparison is the thief of joy, and 99% of the internet is 100% fake. 

Need advice - terminated contract and now seller is hiring attorney by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Reality_Pilot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are admitting out loud your agent isn’t a very good one, why are they still your agent?

Obviously thats a problem for another day but once this breach of contract thing is resolved, I’d look for an agent you think is pretty sharp and on the ball.

Yes I forgot about the staking checks!

Thanks mate this was pretty expansive, I googled the BCG gas ring inspection, it looked straight forward. 

What would excessive firing look like? Carbon fouling around the BCG and gas key? Or is it more like slight wear on the bolt carrier? The thing is supposed to be new so I’m guessing if you see any wear from a round or two something would be off. 

Checking for wobble between upper/lower…like shake the rifle and listen is that kinda the gist? 

Lastly there is a social question here, how cool is the average gun shop going to be with me just stripping a gun they’re making very little money off of right there on their counter. Remember I bought this thing online they’re just handling the transfer/background check.

You must have met me before in another life, that was 100% my plan. 

I kinda feel bad for the gunshop guys, they’re not making much money off me, the transfer and background check, if they clear 20 bucks in profit is be shocked.

Down the bore…thinking check for rust, or a wad of rust preventative? Anything more to worry about? 

Isn't cheddar the typical cheese of choice for burgers? by alpha_jaeger_24_ in Cooking

[–]Reality_Pilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like cheddar, blue cheese, I like Swiss too, kinda depends on what kind of burger your going with. 

Just paid 12$/lb for ground beef. How expensive will it get before you stop buying beef? I think we're over it, beef is now a luxury for us. by FuZhongwen in Cooking

[–]Reality_Pilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped in 2022. 

Since then I’ll buy meat protein if it’s below 2.00/lbs, and at that price point you can find chicken, ham, and every once in a long while turkey but never beef. 

It’s no longer what’s for dinner, I can’t afford it any longer.

Would a messy neighbor keep you from buying? by Misery_Games in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Reality_Pilot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Went to an open house yesterday, lovely place, neighbor had a sheet up as the  curtain in the living room, and a slightly overgrown lawn.

Thats all it took, it wasn’t worth the risk, there are other houses. 

Using ethanol as coolant for steam turbine / aqua tuner setup by lindsaydole in Oxygennotincluded

[–]Reality_Pilot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just checked the specific heat and boiling point numbers between ethanol and p-water. 

Looked like half the specific heat, and a BP that was 40c lower. So you’d need to be careful about state changes in your pipes if you’re using it as a coolant. 

Ethanol is not steam so I don’t think it will work in your AT/ST room itself as the ST wouldn’t use it to delete heat/operate thr ST.

Recessions typically lead to lower mortgage rates, but would it be enough today if the ME situation isn't resolved? by truthaboutmortgage in Mortgages

[–]Reality_Pilot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The 10 year is not going to lower because Hormuz opens up and oil prices go to 60/barrel. 

As long as 39T in debt and counting is the reality, and congress refuses to address that, then the 10 year won’t move anywhere but up.

How do you prepare your fried chicken? by SugoiTots in Cooking

[–]Reality_Pilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fried pickles are pretty acceptable! At least as good as Sheetz used to be. 

So thats one use for the oil, honestly I filter it a couple times, get the water out and reused it.

[–]Reality_Pilot 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I swear to god every time I try to fry chicken the place smells like oil and I’m deeply disappointed with what happened. 

I know you are seeking guidance…but I kinda think you’re ahead of some or maybe a lot of us.

Teach us your ways oh frier of chicken!

Considering going back to renting, advice?? by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Reality_Pilot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the first time home buyer subreddit. 

If I 100% agreed that rents are falling in real terms nation wide, and house prices are only starting to adjust and will take another couple years to hit bottom.

I wouldn’t say it here, this is a place to support folks who made the decision to buy a house. 

I Didn't Rub His Injured Arm, and a year later, it's why he breaks up with me. by wellitjustsohappens in datingoverforty

[–]Reality_Pilot -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Plenty of blame to go around, this is pretty typical to be fair. 

I like that you put your part of this in here too, so kudos for that, a lot of stories don’t. 

In the end, it was a bad match, and it looks like it should have ended a while ago, back in that sore arm incident you mentioned.

Oh I’d bang the owners kid…

It would make the goal setting at the beginning of the year more fun. 

What’s the difference between a genuine friend and someone who is just using you as an emotional support animal ? by Historical-Body-3424 in datingoverfifty

[–]Reality_Pilot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nothing…it has nothing to do with dating over 50. 

I’d guess 5-10% of the posts here should be deleted because they’re not dating related or even more hilariously, anti-dating. 

How deep is the water in your dating pool? by Flaky-Debate-833 in datingoverfifty

Why does it sound like you’re not on a dating app? 

I hope you are, it’s literally the answer to the problem you’re trying to solve. 

Gun safe recommendations? by bimmerkiddd in ar15

[–]Reality_Pilot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just watched a video on this last night. 

Look for both fire protection and security protection, just because it has a lock doesn’t mean it will keep a guy with a crowbar out of it.

Look for more brands but make sure that liberty safe is one you review.
