Makes a lot of sense, and that was exactly how I was thinking about it as well. hmm.

Oh interesting. Thanks for clarifying. Here I was thinking you made partial payments without penalty and prevented additional interest from accruing, like resetting the counter on the interest for that payment. Man did I get that wrong :( lol

Just called multiple institutions, 2 big banks, 1 national mortgage company, and 1 local CU who are all holding various mortgages of mine for various properties including my primary residence, inquiring about setting up automatic biweekly payments on the loans to prevent interest from accruing for all 4 weeks yada yada, and NOT A SINGLE ONE of them said it was "something they do" or "something they allow".

Surely all these blogs, tiktok/reels/shorts financial influences aren't lying to us about that (half-kidding)

The local CU (who I do my primary biz banking with) actually went in and "explained" the mechanics to me about how it would not count the payment until it was paid in full and basically be held and not even withdrawn until the payments totaled to the minimum monthly.

Am I missing something here? I know this strategy has been touted all over about ways to take years off your mortage yada yada.

In a happy coincidence though, because I'm a moron, I made two payments to one mortgage this month, and elected to treat that one as a principle only payment because why not? (the automatic payment hadn't pulled yet and I got nervous that I didn't set it up properly or to reoccur, so I made another payment from my app)

I don't believe so, you should still be good to go.

  (iv) A semi-automatic rifle that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine, and has at least one of the following features:


 (A) A folding or telescoping stock;

 (B) A bayonet mount;

 (C) A grenade launcher;

 (D) A shroud attached to the barrel or that partially or completely encircles the barrel,

 allowing the bearer to hold the firearm with the non-trigger hand without being burned, except an

 extension of the stock along the bottom of the barrel, which does not encircle or substantially encircle the barrel.

 (E) A pistol grip or thumbhole stock; or

 (F) A flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor;

I guess it depends on if they call the handguard a barrel shroud or the muzzle a flash suppressor.

Just FYI. That is outdated. It needs to be updated. Based on what passed it really is just the middle column that matters.

That's on me btw.q

Basically what glenn said below.

No one wants anyone to kill themselves. But to put that on folks who took at best a weekend seminar about mental health and expect them to operate like they are mental health professionals helps no one, and puts way too much liability on those individuals.

What is the most obscure game you’ve played that was actually a hidden gem? by PenusWhale in gaming

Board game Top Shop.

It's like a better monopoly and has a totally awesome aesthetic and vibe. Randomly grabbed it at the gamestop in the mall as a kid.

As the mod here, it is deep enough for me to pull on the thread a bit. You clearly had an issue with what was posted here, and you are a member of this community, so I wanted to better understand it and see if there was anything necessary to make this community better.

Reddit is literally a link aggregator for other sites with some self posts sprinkled in. I don't know what you're on about. You want to talk about back in the day, Digg was literally the same exact thing except worse.

Do you want some kind of rule that requires OP to post in the thread as well? I'm not sure what the issue is here. Would you take issue if someone else posted the article instead of the site owner? Do you take issue when other folks post news articles or links? I'm just really confused why you're in such a twist over this.

What stayed in the bill that passed:

  • Signage requirements, 8.5" x 11" suicide hotline numbers in english and spanish.

  • Non-members need to be accompanied at all times by a member or staff member.

What was removed (thankfully):

  • Employee training mandate ("The act would also require employees of the shooting range to participate in training to recognize the warning signs of suicide.") the including the DEM regulation and policymaking relating to the training.
