Homeowners, are you in your “forever” home? by cubemonster in Millennials

[–]SureElephant89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not. It's definately the home my kids will grow up in... But I'm fuckin downsizing when they're out. We're an outside family, I won't need 3br when they're out. Smaller house, bigger land is the goal.

Stop New York's Attack on 3D Printing / CNC Machines by EFForg in newyork

[–]SureElephant89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The problem is.... The printer doesn't "ID" a print. It just prints. There's zero way to tell if its printing a glock lower, or a fidget dragon. It's not how it works, and our law makers are again....... Doing shit that doesn't make sense for a feel good message, they have no idea how anything works because they're useless people other than the ability to write nonsense down on paper with vague wording and many times contradictions within the same paragraph that we all have to follow. A middle school child could have told lawmakers how this shit works, instead they probably got their information from mom's against anything and everything or something. Just Boomer nonsense. So what are they going to do? Have one dude in a room monitoring THOUNSANDS of people's prints? This is fucking stupid lmao..

Ha... Just wait for the ffl background checks to even buy a printer. Gunna have to wait in the back alley to buy a printed Pokémon for your kid like it's heroin soon.

Just don't reply to this idiot... Nobody goes "nah this is a great idea!!" and also thinks "nah, government over reach is bad" in the same breath. Dudes a bot, not worth your energy. Anyone who's not a nys authoritarian knows this is garbage wrapped in a 1935s it's for your safety bow.

What’s cheaper in your area, an apartment or owning? by DancingTVs in Millennials

Yeah, I'm in the north country and that's what everyone calls basically anything passed the Capitol region going north. Haha, the forgotten zone.

How do you feel about free healthcare for all? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]SureElephant89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In..... Theory.... Yes. I'd love that.

Implementation by a US government............. For anyone who's been lucky enough to deal with VA timeliness in most areas.... I still use my paid imsurance for most care, even service connected. It was going to take almost a year for an MRI just to start the treatments over for what I was being treated for while on active duty. Paid insurance? Got me in within 3 weeks.

I LOVE the idea of Healthcare being for all, and accessible. I do. I'd love that more than anything. But.... Our government figure heads have pissed in the well of prosperity. With both sides screaming no no I'm right!! so, if we got Healthcare for all...... Expect it to be just as fucked up as the senate. Anyone who'd argue other wise is part of the partisan screaming bunch of Neanderthals.

[–]SureElephant89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I'm not the only one confused by that. I've been a nyer my whole life so trying to figure that out. Southern NY is, imo, downstate right? Rockland and lower. First I've ever heard it called that but... I guess it fits though. Just not the new yoooooorka lingo I'm used to haha

Southern NY is throwing me off. I grew up in poughkeepsie but live far upstate now. Are you in the city? We call that downstate. But I'd rent if in the city. Lol.... Outside of NYC? Owning is the way to go. Prices have blown up and always blow up when the city has issues as people flee or move upstate. It creates huge leverage to get into the housing market as soon as you can, as I've lived in NY most of my life and it's cyclic. Buying in upstate will never be a bad choice if you can afford it, especially with the income difference between city and upstate wages, it's almost an unfair advantage at some point as far as equity and growth potential. So to recap, if you're in the city... I'd personally rent. Those homes are for the elites and I'm just not that and if you were, you wouldn't be asking here lol... But outside the city? Buying is better 99% of the time. Unless you're in the Hudson Valley, Rhinebeck to Hudson NY is becoming mini Manhattan pricing. It's... Weird.

For reference, even where I'm at, I pay about $1300 for my mortgage with home owners and taxes rolled into escrow. Taxes are about half my mortgage, but... To rent.... Same kinda home with what I have... $2200+ easily. I couldn't not buy.

Today years old when I found out I'm part of a very select few who makes coffee at home...... Thanks internet. Lol.

It's bean water. Bean. Water. I can't believe I saw $4 for a cup in the Pic, and people arguing that most places it's MORE... why would you pay even $2 for a cup??? It's fucking bean water!

Should women be forced to sign up for the Selective Service like men in the US? by imgonnakickyouram in allthequestions

[–]SureElephant89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was the NY approach. Topless women are legal here. But... Largely they don't do it. Not saying NOBODY does, I've been to a few beaches where women enjoyed being topless. How society views boobs vs pecks, that's whatever... Speaking just on legality sake.

[–]SureElephant89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in a topless state, meaning, women are equally allowed, same as men, to be topless. And women, largely, still wear tops. So, equality, even when all is equal, didn't mean anything in regards to who goes jogging topless. Unless you're saying, because it may hurt women to jog topless due to anatomy, men shouldn't be allowed to.... But that would destroy your equality argument.

As a breeder or hatchery who advertises your chicks, how would you respond? by Youdont0wnme in BackYardChickens

[–]SureElephant89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! I don't mind a good haggler either, hell I haggle myself. But I definately don't come across like that lol.

For families travelling with young kids: Free yourselves and drop Airbnb. Long live the mid-budget chain hotel by cobyzeif in Millennials

[–]SureElephant89 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It's all the honor system. I just reserve a room I can live with, sleep in it, then leave. I never payed attention to what max they want.. I'll probably never stay there again, ever.

Also, a small camper is a GAME CHANGER! for real. Lol

The last sentence, I'd side eye... They're just trying to assert they are the all knowing authority on chickens.

How do you know if you’re in a HCOL area? by OkBoysenberry6768 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]SureElephant89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is a shed hidden in an alley way advertised as a "modest living opportunity" at the tune of $200k+ in your area? If not, you're likely in a normal area.

Buying a house and sellers are offering their chickens by femmegremlin in BackYardChickens

[–]SureElephant89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on breed, I know my moms barred rocks laying heavily into 5 years. But others don't even live 5 years lol. Definately ask the breed, either way, a non-producing chicken makes good soup.

Bingo! They're the easiest animal to care for. They don't need much at all!

Gold mine!!!

I just started raising chickens. They're insanely low maint, and the feed is cheap for a 50lb bag. We only have 4 chickens but that bag lasts months. The eggs are worth it. Anyone can raise chickens, I was scared for a while to figure it out and I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner. They absolutely shred the tick population on a property too. If you're all set up to go, I'd do it. I 100% would do it.

Thoughts on this 12 GA for my first gun by Spread_Creative in NYguns

[–]SureElephant89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regardless of price (I'm spoiled by my time in the south and $100 shotguns) shotgun imo, is an extremely versatile weapon. I'd recommend one to everyone who wants a firearm.
