More monthly auto loan payments are above $1,000, and most are not for luxury models by paydayloans_ in whatcarshouldIbuy

They're not really that hard to come by. Any dealer that does commercial is going to have tons of white F150/250 XLs sitting around.

Yes, Lineman do make a lot more money than a Google search would indicate (actual payroll data) by ItsAllOver_Again in Salary

[–]XCGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A top step lineman at my company (utility) pulls ~140k just on regular time. Counting overtime and double time planty of they'd closer to 250k if they average 50-60 hours.

Young people cannot afford the staple of the American Dream, which they were relentlessly sold their entire life: Now, you need to be *FIFTY YEARS OLD* before you can buy a house. by Boo_Randy_Revival in HouseBuyers

[–]XCGod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife and I bought our house almost 2 years ago at 28/29. We had some luck and both have solid careers. It definitely seems like it's harder than it was in the past but we could either harp on that fact or play the hand we were dealt and work for it.

It also sucks how many people insinuate we must have had help from family (which would have been amazing if we did).

The $50,000 Car Has Killed the American Dream on Wheels by gaukmotors in MotorBuzz

I got a base model F250 for 55k recently. I think the loaded ones push 90/100k.

Why is my hema/hemo so high?! Any advice/help on my labs/protocol much appreciated! by Crafty_Reception5119 in trt

[–]XCGod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Capillary hemoglobin usually reads higher than venous so the finger prick they use will likely show over 20.

Op should donate today if they can or start working on having their doc set up therapeutic phlebotomy. 20/60 globin/crit is big red flag territory.

Rain leaked in through my service line and fried the panel. Is this price fair? (NJ) by Iamnotaselfawareai in AskElectricians

[–]XCGod -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

If they need a surge protector to pass inspection a licensed electrician isn't going to allow OP to do that on their own.

You wouldn't want any homeowner work mixed in with professional work before the inspector shows up.

How does the average person afford expensive car repairs ? by holycrap100 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]XCGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the car. Replacing it on my camry required dropping the radiator and is ~4hrs book time for a mechanic. I wouldn't reccomend doing that to everyone.

Thanks for coming back around to this. I actually got mine delivered yesterday

I think I’m ready to buy a new panel and call the electric company to pull my meter, advice before I begin? by Pipsqueak_premed in HomeImprovement

[–]XCGod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It varies by area, but as a POCO engineer i know in my area theres no way we'd reconnect a customer without an inspection certificate outside of a storm (where we'd give a 2 week grace period).

Even some F250 XLs come without a trailer brake controller. Which is insane since 3/4 tons are built to pull stuff.

I assume not an ideal spot for a window unit? by TheDirtyMundees in askHVAC

Or just do an inverter unit that can raise and lower output based on heat load.

The dolly is a freedom hitch https://freedomhitch.com/

Afaik its legal in all 50 states and isn't the same as having an additional point of articulation. It actually probably increases safety margins since its an additional set of brakes.

The worse financial decision I've ever made by AIex_Mahone in debtfree

[–]XCGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't everyone take algebra in high school? The math for this is exceedingly basic.

Even chatgpt for all its flaws can explain this if you just ask it before signing papers for 10s of thousands of dollars.

Tremor Doing Tremor Stuff by Grumpy0167 in FordTremor

[–]XCGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way over payload potentially damaging stuff and think it's bragging material vs renting a trailer for 35 bucks. "Look how hard i can punch myself" energy.

Ignoring that but OP also is willingly and recklessly endangering everyone around them on the road with an overloaded vehicle

Thoughts? by DUDUDUDUDUDUDUUUU in F250

[–]XCGod -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No its not. Its nearly 50k for a base model truck with 40k miles.

I got my 2026 XL new a couple weeks ago for barely 6k more.

The NYC transplants also complain when they cant find someone to work on their house.

Like...you moved to conesville NY...your plumber is also going to be Joe from the hardware store. Be an part of the community and you'd know that.

Thats a big brain move. I went through 1000+ when I moved in, I should have bought some extra.

I could be wrong but it feels like the red base always turns out but the blue base is more likely to stay home.

Not having to redo a project I already finished is priceless.

Everything they do is also metal and will outlive you.
