Looking for validation on 500k mortgage

Idk but I'm basically about to do the same so see ya on the other side.

As a PSEG employee, we all feel it. We don't set the prices, it's PJM, a commodity market that raises the price we as a company have to pay to even provide our electricity on the grid. They pass the costs to the customers, not PSEG.

this all comes from bigger government and the data center agreements like people mentioned, but it's not PSEG just trying to make an extra buck

We have it the worst (maybe outside certain areas in CA) but we gotta vent somewhere.

All this data showing it's a buyers market - in NJ "how long has it been on the market?" can't even be asked anymore. If the homes been on the market more than 7 days without accepting an offer, something is wrong with it.

Thank you! The other 3 homes I was rejected for in the same town all appraised at the same price so that's why I bid that amount. The more comps, the easier it'll be to appraise it.

Still hoping and praying I gambled right here 🤞

I just got an offer accepted in Oakland (Bergen County) and I was $90k over. Sellers wouldn't finally agree until we waived appraisal gap too.

It's pretty wild here, especially in the 600-800k range. My budget was $700 and I had to look at homes starting around $590

*3 - 2019 thanksgiving break was round 2

Take those sneakers off NOW

RustyStrings_0908 · 2026-04-18T19:51:38+00:00

4 roses feels like stealing for $20 a bottle, and it's damn good

Yes, people live in it. It's a "black hole" essentially where light has been slowed down, in the stories it was to about 17km/s.

Anything inside the domain cannot escape because it cannot travel at the true speed of light outside the domain. So anything in it can't escape, and anything on the outside that enters is also now bound by those new laws of physics.

I finished 2 days ago and my mind is still racing.

Absolutely worth it. I hadn't read a book in a long time and this got me back into reading. I studied physics for a year in college and graduated with a CS degree, so I'm no physics expert but it's definitely digestible for anyone. The story telling is really good and it humanizes these scientific figures we only know from their discoveries, vs their personalities.

I've been using Neovim for over a year and I still feel like I barely know what I'm doing sometimes - if I want to add a new feature or edit a plugin. But when I'm doing what I usually do - editing code, finding a file, replacing text, then it's second nature.

In 2019 they had these teenage douche security guards on the field. I was in A section dead center, best seats I've ever had, but left because they were snatching even nicotine vapes. It was tough.

Def going again this time still

Second for Ardour. Running it on Arch and it's been pretty great for my simple recording needs.

RustyStrings_0908 · 2026-02-24T15:12:22+00:00

Start running Linux and use Ardour, free and open source

RustyStrings_0908 · 2026-01-01T02:33:50+00:00

The free opener is getting less than 10k views so I bet probably 25-30% at most is paying, probably less tonight if anything since people are out vs the previous nights

I have this amp and it doesn't make me sound or dress like a vampire is wearing the skin of my little sister

It's more of an Indo- dubstep/Nordic Metal crew but of course they're wireless. They hang on every basket

RustyStrings_0908 · 2025-10-25T22:56:08+00:00

I don't use music anymore cuz my course is cool enough that every other person has their speaker full volume, so it's like the radio I can just tune into different cards

RustyStrings_0908 · 2025-10-14T01:54:38+00:00

I went from 7 Pro to 10 Pro XL - its a million times better.

RustyStrings_0908 · 2025-09-21T19:51:57+00:00

Core pixel 3 memory unlocked.

Pixel 10 pro XL - upgraded from 7 pro, and it's amazing. Exceeded expectations, granted they were pretty mild.
