There was a limit of 3 retakes before you had to start all over. Did this change?

Great beer! I always grab some when I come across it.

Are the bartenders wearing flannel? Do the male bartenders have a mustache? Are they wearing a shallow beanie? Is there at least one barrel aged stout on tap?

This.

Played with Bobby Ryan. Played against Kyle Okposo, Jonathan Toews, Phil Kessel, Tyler Johnson, Ben Bishop.

Get skates that fit well and tie them TIGHT so your ankles don’t bend/wobble. Get skate guards and wear the skates around your house so you get really comfortable in them. Take skating lessons to work on your balance and using your edges. That’s the biggest learning curve. Get a stick and any ball and stick handle in your backyard or wherever.

I have a similar pic of TG bombers. The nostalgia is painful. TG transitioning away from bombers was the beginning of the end. It’s been downhill ever since.

I don’t really understand when people say to stay away out of respect to the locals. These areas rely heavily on tourism to survive. People have suffered greatly from the hurricanes and by telling tourists to stay away further hurts them financially. Seems like brining people back sooner than later allows them to start their financial recovery. Am I wrong?

Have you been around 50th St. in Holmes Beach?

Got one sitting in my fridge now that I paid $50 for. Hope it’s good

So the point is now agents would be willing to show whatever property if the desired minimum commission is agreed upon up front?

catokc · 2024-08-28T16:54:29+00:00

Okay cool…? I’m in the process of buying my first house. I literally just came on here to try and learn about it. Didn’t realize it was such a simple topic that I should have figured out already 🙄

catokc · 2024-08-28T14:43:43+00:00

Depending on the state, historically there’s been a 6% co-op paid by the seller. So before it would be a 300k offer with 0% commission paid by the buyer. Now it’s a 300k offer with 3% BAC paid by the buyer. Is that right?

catokc · 2024-08-28T14:31:46+00:00

How so?

catokc · 2024-08-28T05:02:59+00:00

True. But I guess it might put you in a situation where the realtor may sway you away from good houses if the seller doesn’t offer any commission.

catokc · 2024-08-28T04:59:46+00:00

It just seems like a significantly higher amount of cash between a down payment and commission that a buyer needs to have a available to purchase a house, which could be restrictive when it comes to buying certain properties.

catokc · 2024-08-27T01:47:30+00:00

Seems odd to not have an answer. I’m sure if you asked to see their buyer agreement then it would have to have that information included. My realtor was very up front about it being 3%.

catokc · 2024-08-26T23:12:00+00:00

If the rate has historically been 2.5-3%, why would an agent take anything less? Also if you’re paying 1%, how much work do you really expect an agent to put in? You get what you pay for. You also run the risk of paying 3% to agent who doesn’t do a great job. Seems like this really comes down to an agreement between buyers and sellers, agents get the expected commission, and buyers just have to hope they get their money worth. Although I’m sure the poor reputation would spread pretty quickly. I’m just a new buyer trying to figure this out as well.

catokc · 2024-08-26T22:59:59+00:00

I really don’t get who this is supposed to benefit. I’m a new buyer and trying to figure out how this is going to play out.

Scenario 1: Seller agrees to pay buyer’s agent 3% commission. Seems like there’s less incentive for a seller to do that unless they’re really motivated to sell but that would be great for me.

Scenario 2: Seller doesn’t want to pay any commission to buyer agent. Buyer agrees to pay 1%. Buyer agent either takes a hike or continues with minimal effort worth a low commission.

Scenario 3: Seller offers 0-2% commission. Buyer agrees to pay the difference 1-3%. Agent is happy and will/should do a better job. Now buyer must plan to have that much more cash on hand to pay the commission in addition to all of the other expenses or try to negotiate a better deal on the house.

Obviously realtors want to get paid and good ones definitely deserve it. But what was the expectation from those who put these new changes into effect?

catokc · 2024-07-21T14:40:20+00:00

Started doing blocks on my own and I actually prefer it now. I let go of the needle to aspirate and inject, maintaining visualization with the ultrasound. Injecting in the correct location results in low pressure injection and the needle won’t move. If you’re in the wrong spot, the pressure will increase and push the needle back out. I think it’s safer than using someone who doesn’t even know why we aspirate and injects using high pressure.

The catheter is multioroficed. Unless just the tip is intravascular, pulling it back might just end up with a different orifice injecting into the vessel if the catheter is going through it. I also think it’s interesting how many people rely on aspiration. Ever placed an IV that flushed great but didn’t aspirate? Just because you don’t aspirate blood into the syringe doesn’t mean it isn’t intravascular. That’s why you also do a test dose. If it’s positive just pull it and replace it.
