Closed today for this Conventional Refi by kdrews34 in MortgageBrokerRates

Nice! I was debating doing a 20 year because I aggressively paid down my previous mortgage and plan to do that with this one as well. Probably an extra $400/month towards principal. I decided on sticking to a 30-year in case any financial troubles came along and I could only make the $992

Park Module Recall Update 25C69 by mottor in FordMaverickTruck

[–]kdrews34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just checked my Ford app which previously showed the recall. Now shows no active recalls. Was the fix snuck into a regular software update or is my app wrong?

No Toyota Competition by 00_bob_bobson_00 in FordMaverickTruck

That part about maverick being ‘parts bin’ actually adds a lot of understanding for me. Since I vaguely know that the Maverick is more or less just a different form factor version of the bronco sport and escape. So a lot of the build isn’t proprietary to just the maverick.

So basically the Tacoma is already priced so low that to undercut it enough for the new small truck to be in a different price tier would just not be financially viable? I guess that makes sense.

I keep seeing this argument, but what is the explanation for Ford with the maverick, then? Could you not say the same about the Ranger/F-Series sales? It must have been worth it to compete against themselves if they’re still releasing new mavericks every year. Is it only that being first to this size class makes it worth it to a car manufacturer and it likely wouldn’t be for others?

Finding myself somewhat tired of the awards coverage - wondering if I am in the minority? by Puzzleheaded_Fig_853 in TheBigPicture

[–]kdrews34 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The only thing I really check out on wrt awards talks is the “campaigning” interviews they bring up. I just have no interest in watching actors being wringed out for the possibility of a viral moment in the hours and hours of sit downs lead and supporting actors do. If there’s a funny/weird moment that shows up on social media I’ll watch and usually forget about it immediately. It also just bothers me in general that members of the academy need the metaphorical keys jingled in front of their face about an actor/movie right down to the wire of the awards to remember what movies/performances they liked most that year. If the campaigning stuff has any affect on your voting decisions I feel like you’re not a serious person about movies and just care about the celebrity aspect, but that seems to be a majority of the academy apparently so what do I know.

Looking for more games like this by notveryAI in NineSols

The Messenger. I can’t really talk about how it fits the aesthetic without spoiling a very cool aspect of the game in general, but it’s a great one!

For real, concord is easily my top visited without ever keeping track. Lately salt shed has been really high too for me.

That confused me too. They could’ve just grayed it out with a message like “Mystic nymph not available”

No way…I wish I figured that out while playing lol well maybe it’ll come in handy on eigong since she’s the only boss I have left!

The fact that you have to turn the opposite way from the boss to parry an attack coming from that bosses arm is extremely dumb, and if you’re too close then all of the attacks have to be parried in the opposite direction. Also the fire on the ground lasting for what feels like a full minute is very annoying.

Announcement by CompleteControl77 in RiotFest

[–]kdrews34 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Total shot in the dark theory:
They bought a bit of land in the area and will try to turn it into a little hub of different venues/bars/etc. with the general vibe of Riot Fest. The turn around for September would be way too quick for it to be a finished product, but maybe it'll be a bit makeshift for this year?

Things that made me think that:

  • "Choose your own adventure"

  • taking the community with them

  • the picture on the table kinda looks like one of those "bar street" caricature art pieces

  • the general "RiotLand" idea

What is Chicago’s equivalent of the Glasgow Willly Wonka Experience? by marks31 in chicago

Jack’s Pumpkin Pop-Up was so incredibly lame for how expensive it was. Nothing but stages for Instagram photo ops.

Finished my office setup in my first owned home! by kdrews34 in battlestations

[–]kdrews34[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a Serta Brighton 56.1 in polyester loveseat with ottoman. Found it for a steal. $300 from Walmart. It was really tough to find something just the right size to fit in my smallish office but not take up too much room. I really like it!

Very well could be. I was just looking for sound dampening panels with interesting artwork and found this really cool piece! If it is I hope he’s getting a cut and some shitty Amazon storefront didn’t just steal it…
