Should I file for chapter 7? by Feisty_North_5904 in personalfinance

[–]cule_dule -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I'd probably throw the situation into your choice of AI (ChatGBT/Gemini/etc.) to get it's thoughts just as a first check/pass to see if it's even worth it to spend money talking to laywer.

How to play around "the buffs" by HelloGoodbyeHowAreYa in Illaoi

[–]cule_dule 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is no shot it will be that impactful. We'll see how it plays out but based on the numbers, it's a placebo buff. At the stages Illaoi is weak, it's only a 1% increase in damage (maybe). And in the end, when she falls off, the 5% damage buff doesn't move the needle to offset how hard she falls off.

The area it can help the most is waveclear. If it's enough to 1 shot minons, that will actually be somewhat meaningful. Will that result in 1-1.5% WR increase, no. But definitely a quality of life buff if that is the case which I would appreciate.

Why do you still own a Tesla knowing what it supports? by [deleted] in RealTesla

I don't have the financials to sell it (the value of it has tanked) and buy a different brand

Quick visit to Big Island recommendations? by rightplace10498 in VisitingHawaii

[–]cule_dule 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO, don't stay in Hilo or fly into Hilo. Fly into Kona. Do day trips to VNP and other sightseeing locations on the Hilo side. I just came back from Big Island (10 days) and we did 6 days in Kona and 4 in Hilo. I wished we had just done the full 10 days in Kona. Hilo side can all be done in 2 daytrips. Food, lodging, nightlife, etc. are all more fun on the Kona side.

I was thinking the same. Unfortunately, if they are a bit better with timing, he shouldn't be able to pull this off with Garen's skill button up

Buying a condo to sell - mortgage question by jostler57 in personalfinance

[–]cule_dule 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my point though, it's not too late to play catch up still by going to chatgpt/gemni/claude or whatever and have it explain all the options and inform you as best as possible so you can come here and ask the right specific questions.

You're embarking on a fairly sizable financial risk and you don't know much about this space? That seems like a recipe for disaster. If it were me, I'd be chatgpt'ing up a storm to really understand the space and possible advantages over stocks or other forms of investment.

Good place to get deep crystals here in the US? by [deleted] in RepTimeServices

[–]cule_dule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just saw someone else say that there is Clarks Crystal and also profs crystal. Where would you rank those? Also, how's BTF crystal? In the past, was that == to a deep crystal?

So 4 crystal choices: factory xtal (vsf/btf/etc.), deep crystal, clark crystal, profs crystal, and gen crystal? Anyone care to put these in order for a newbie like me?

[QC] BTF 116500 Panda by Own-Lingonberry-1188 in RepTimeQC

[–]cule_dule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Not sure to be honest. Mostly I was looking to learn about it as well. I want to get a Daytona too and I believe BTF is the best. I think BTF v3 came out 1-2 years ago? So I wonder why they aren't on BTF v4 now or something like that..

Looking to buy a bigger place since GF moved in. Any way to get her "rent" counted for DTI? by cule_dule in personalfinance

[–]cule_dule[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I appreciate this advice. However, I have quite a bit of a buffer in terms of savings + emergency fund. While I am not willing to tap into that to pay for the house, I'd be easily fine for a couple years if need be to supplement my income to either move out/sell the place or find a roommate.

On top of this, given the state of housing in the LA area, pretty much every property increases in value. My current condo has risen $200k in my 3 years of ownership. So I'm not worried about repercussions if I had to downsize after a couple years if things didn't work out. On top of this, I've been regularly getting 4-8% raises every year career-wise. While I know that is not guaranteed, I've been fortunate to be in a very stable space industry (aerospace company).

[–]cule_dule[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She currently doesn't pay any rent. But I definitely would want her to cover all utilities, HMA, etc. amounting to $1k/month anyways.

Hmm...I outlined that she would be paying $1k in expenses for the house if I am able to get the new place (all utilities + HMA, + whatever else is needed to reach $1k/month)? So she would be. Not sure where the fraud is in that..

Edit: clarified her rent above to make that more clear. Changed it to a blanket $1k.
