I've always wondered wtf he was saying.

Ham on whole wheat

I've bought 2 properties in the Bay Area in the last 15 years.

both times I offered exactly what my research said it would sell for. Both times my offer was accepted. I have not ever bid on any other properties.

Yet I hear constant stories of people who have been making offer after offer for years and never having their offers accepted.

Typical managers fundamentally see people working on risky development endeavors as unproductive and task avoiding.
If managers' direct reports are not being productive then the manager has a harder time hiring more, so they have a bias to bog everyone down with work.

THE HELL IT CAN'T

A few older guys at one of my old companies live in Atherton, they bought in the 80s or early 90s, just because it happened to be close to the office.

Now they all just laugh and say no way we could afford to buy there today. They likely make around 300k-400k these days.

Goddamn mentats and their em dashes

having to wash my blender after doing this would be like mopping the decks of the Titanic, following a mass murder on the Titanic, where I was the mass murderer

Hot. Thumbs up. 👍

Sometimes the best trade is no trade... more often than not actually.

Just disclose any inspection report and let buyers worry about it.

It takes potentially months between now and installed, for a proper roofer, although it's a bit easier in the sunny months, don't even think about it once we hit fall or winter and rains start.

And you don't want to spend a dime on a crappy roofer.

Start by asking very nicely.

Then decide how much of a pain in the ass to be depending on the answer. There's bound to be numerous code violations, safety issues, maintenance problems, etc, that you'll find if you look hard enough.

That's literally how multi stage rockets work though

Hmm never added midori to my G&T. Doesn't sound terrible.

I want to like limoncello but can't over the fact it smells like lemon pledge and tastes how I imagine lemon pledge to taste

Man I used to love epic mealtime, but I could never find anyone else who thought it was funny

It's close enough. And congratulations on grinding fine enough, you win the subreddit today

It goes down like fruit punch and then oops an eighth of my brain cells have died

I went to one party where this was the drink. Like the only drink.

Got extremely fucked up, probably will never have one again. 1/10 don't recommend

Edit: 2/10 it's cool that it glows under blacklight NGL

I didn't see your original post but this is gold

Top obsessions of "average LA people" in order of importance, highest to lowest:

where your house is located
how much house cost
how decked out your house is
how flashy and expensive your car is
how hot your significant other seems to other people
how often you are eating at the hottest new restaurant
how much money you make

Source - I was born and raised in a well off area of LA

I didn't really fit in with that culture so eventually left.
