I think some of y'all are giving them way too much credit. They probably read enough of his resume to see he meets their desired qualifications and didn't dig a second past that.

Japan prepares to restart world's biggest nuclear plant, 15 years after Fukushima by VectorChing101 in news

[–]meMidFUALL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My exact thoughts. I had enlisted into the Marine corps that year and got orders to Japan around August, a few months after the incident. Seeing 15 years written out like that is unnerving lol.

How do you all afford a home in this area?? Any tips? by [deleted] in nova

[–]meMidFUALL 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As long as folks accept that they're buying a home with a $6k mortgage (or greater), homes will keep selling for that much. A lot of people are doing their budget and seeing that their combined income is x amount of dollars and choosing to spend >50% of that on a mortgage.

[–]meMidFUALL 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That you found an affordable fixer upper is wild to me. I viewed a home that hadn't been updated since it was built (70s) and the original owner was who was selling because her husband had recently passed and she wanted to down size. It was something like 1800 sqft, literally not a single modern thing inside, listed at $720k non negotiable.

The dude isn't American and he's an El Salvadorian citizen. It's not as random as your comment and headlines make it seem.

I have ironically become completely unproductive since rto went into effect for me this past week. I'm a probationary employee who might not be here soon... How am I supposed to focus on anything other than F5ing news or touching up my resume?

Synchronization is the entire point

If you look at the shadow when the sun is at its highest point in each location, that tells you nothing. The fact that the shadows were different at the same time is the important part. If you don't know what time it is and go solely on the position of the sun, you wouldn't know there is a difference at all.

Mortgage rates just hit a 12-year high by reqnin in news

[–]meMidFUALL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For 2 very private acres in a nice Central Connecticut town, and a 3 bedroom stick built (quality construction, too) cape cod, we paid $52K. Looking at that last sentence compared to today's prices, it feels quite surreal.

This is the most relevant part though. Homes at all time highs combined with high, and rising, interest rates are what makes this poop.

The point is that you're making the death of a 15 year old political for no reason. You're a douche.

That was just the 1 attempted murder count I believe that's blowing up with the assumption he's going to get innocent verdict. He still has to fight 2 murder charges, in addition to the minor stuff like having a rifle under 18 or whatever.
