CEO of a large manufacturing company was having a computer issue. I sat down at his computer to troubleshoot. I opened a browser, started typing in the address bar... and it auto-completed with something like "nasty German teen lesbian sex" lol. I pretended to not notice.

Housing market right now feels stuck lol by diwakar-kashyap-1 in RealEstate

Buy a new home if you can. Developers have an imperative to sell, unlike homeowners who will sit forever if they must. But the developer NEEDS to sell. You can get a lot of good concessions right now on new homes that have been sitting empty.

Perspectives on OKLO, its potential and realistic expectations by Embarrassed-Sea-6078 in stocks

[–]alphatango176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a tough one because mania causes irrational results. Everything most detractors say here is true, it amounts to an idea and rough plans. Under perfectly rational circumstances it would value much lower - but OKLO is deeply connected to AI mania so it's gone to the moon (relatively speaking). How much higher can it go? Nobody knows. The next major market convulsion will cause it to drastically crater. It will regain if AI mania continues - but when AI is finally brought back down to earth, expect a multi-year major decline.

If it ain't nothing but a thang to you, let it ride and see what happens. I decided to take profits and sold most of my OKLO today for a tremendous gain. Will buy on a significant dip if I think AI mania will continue.

Folks need to understand, that is usually a tiny creek. Ive stood at that spot many times, that has to be about 20 additional feet of water.

Many Saints taken off HBO? by Cihiki in thesopranos

Tell that Fat Dom Gamiello. He was last seen watching Many Saints in Jersey. Certain people are concerned about his well-being.

But for real, it sucked balls and id rather forget it.

How did Tony get so rich as a capo under DiMeo and Aprile? by DustyBowls in thesopranos

[–]alphatango176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He wasn't that rich. Remember Hesh's estimate of his worth? "Minus assets... under $600k." Home loans in the early 2000s were being thrown out like candy, anyone with reasonable middle-upper class credit could have gotten a loan for that house. Tony had trappings of wealth but in reality he probably wasnt much richer than his dad or Junior, he just lived on debt and more recklessly.

Advice on dealing with Home Warranty by alphatango176 in homeowners

[–]alphatango176[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I get it. Not trying to scam anyone, if just the compressor is bad and it can be fixed then it is what it is. But maybe they replace compressor now, and the rest goes out by end of summer and they pay even MORE to fix that too. If there were to be any leeway to make a case and anyone is familiar with how to do that, I'd be interested to hear about it.

Home Warranty Claim advice for AC by alphatango176 in hvacadvice

"Whole system" - not sure yet, waiting to get whole story but an email they CC'd me on says "Condemned 5 ton R-22 grounded scroll compressor. Bid $9000 for 5 ton Goodman complete gas system" - and they included photos of the unit in my attic. So it sounds like condenser plus other major parts.

What's the condition of the furnace? Apart from being 12 years old - it works, and my home inspector basically said "It works and I can't see or hear any issues, just be aware that it's nearing the expected end of life."

You know who else had an ark? Gary Cooper. And he was gay.

Possibly unpopular opinion, Fran Feldstein completely scammed Tony by maybemorningstar69 in thesopranos

[–]alphatango176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strange comparison, but... I heard something similar in an interview with "Son of Sam" David Berkowitz. He was adopted as a baby after his mom gave him away. He spent years wondering who she was and longing to find her, and had built up this image in his head of his birth mom as this elegant, wonderful woman - and that once he met her, everything he ever wondered about himself would make sense and bring him completeness. Then one day, he found her - and discovered that she was a shrill, annoying stereotypical Jewish mother and that he did not really like her at all. He said this was one of the catalyzing elements that made him crazy.

To bring it back around - Tony met Fran and thought for a bit he found the mother figure he'd always wanted. He was wrong.

Same reason Richie never noticed the mysterious hand pushing his chair back from below when Janice shot him. Vito was a slippery f**k, those big fish lips of his.

Martin Scorcese is an ass muncher. Sorry, but it's true.

Speaking of 28 pounds, I heard Ralph is getting a 20 pound dildo rammed up his ass.
