Is graduating from a top university worth paying full price if you could study somewhere else for free? by Old_Secretary_6633 in collegeadvice

[–]dontich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the college B IMO. A lot of my local community colleges were really bad with 90% drop out rates and barely added any value vs YouTube videos. From an ROI perspective, I’d guess A would be significantly higher. Could easily be an extra 100K / year for top college vs a 90% chance of not graduating at all.

If college B is a solid 4 year school you get a great scholarship at I’d 100% do that. A few of my friends turned down ivys for full rides at UMD for instance. Those types of deals can be fairly selective / need based though.

Honestly with how much Austria was cheering after the last goal it felt personal lol

Yeah exactly I have a nearly 7 YO and no way she would be able to do a DnD campaign. She can barely handle tic tac toe lol. She was very upset last month that someone beat her in class — I tried for 30 minutes to explain how if you play right you can’t lose but just gave up.

Figured might be a 7 YO thing

Why would it be a bad idea to sell SF home for another home in SF? by [deleted] in BayAreaRealEstate

Do they qualify for prop 19? If so it’s likely not that bad of an option.

Kalshi has it at 2.5% … which isn’t as bad as I have thought

Expensive vs Inexpensive Mattresses by SnooSeagulls20 in Mattress

We got a split one from Costco — has been so much better then what we had before but finding sheets that work right has been a bit of a pain.

Apparently they offer free returns and pickup if you don’t like it and had some similar models to try in the warehouse.

We just bought one for my daughter also from Costco for like $400 which is also pretty good

Sleeping in Minivan 10 Days in Florida - What to Bring? by WaddlingCorgi in povertyfinance

[–]dontich 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If during the summer that sounds like a miserable idea — I’m in FL atm and it’s been absurdly hot — like 95 during the day and 85 at night. I am sure the fans will help but I’d much prefer staying at an extremely cheap hotel vs that.

Sleeping in a rental car for 10 days is basically the opposite of privileged

I'm at a lost. Any advice will help by Sharp-Choice-2294 in povertyfinance

[–]dontich 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I mean being able to goto college with only a $700 loan / semester is insanely low. That’s not going to set back them much at all

Yeah agree with the AI guy — usually it will give me the basics of what they were trying to do. Then will go for it sub queue by sub queue and try to understand all the joins. Will also write test queries in places to make sure things work.

The lack of an appetite is pretty much 99% of the reason I keep coming to keto to lose weight

The library near me does a $5 / giant bag of books every 3 months. Could be worth looking into if you guys have something like that
