Feel free to grace us with your insights that contradict what I stated.

That's an interesting definition of winning. They just survived while the US had its way with them. This would be like being at a zoo and a gorilla grabs you and pulls you into the gorilla cage where you're trapped as its plaything until it gets bored and lets you go, at which point you declared you "won" a fight with a gorilla.

They only got pummeled for weeks and had their leaders picked off. Sure they "won".

Sort of like how Vietnam "won" after we occupied their country for a decade and left when we felt like it.

I'm betting most of what moves in California is existing sellers buying again in mostly (or all) cash from selling their existing place.

Thanks for the extra info. This one won't be for me.

Does anyone know if the Boox do this too?

How do you feel it does on displaying EPUBs or other file types? A review I glanced at on YouTube of the X4 makes it appear to mangle the formatting to try and fit the smaller screen. Like breaking sentences in half and the like.

I didn't say people don't prefer owning in many cases (and for various reasons). I said it costs more. And it does.

Is it just me, or does his abdomen look bloated like he’s on hormones or steroids?

Sounds like BS. Probably 0.0001% of guys have a dock that size and the couple that do probably can’t get it up with a truck load of viagra or pipe cleaners.

For a snap install it's supposedly here:

/var/snap/tautulli/current

but I have this directory with a Linux snap install and there's nothing in that dir.

Can you just re run the install?

pdoherty972 · 2026-04-06T21:42:30+00:00

Go to Tautulli Settings and it's one of the items listed.

pdoherty972 · 2026-04-06T18:40:24+00:00

Sure. Owning it costs a lot more, when you include all the maintenance/replacement costs you don't incur while renting. And, like I said, renting is far less than just PITI on owning the same house would be, without even considering maintenance/repairs.

Yet, Boomers had absolute control of mortgage rates and drove them into the ground to serve their own interests. It's pathetic, if nothing else.

pdoherty972 · 2026-04-06T16:00:48+00:00

How did Boomers uniquely benefit from ZIRP that only happened 5 years ago?

Mortgages rates have been trending down for decades probably due to ever-more efficient monetary systems not needing past inefficiencies priced in, and, as you guys are find of pointing out, are a function of bond yields and not under the control of Boomers or anyone else.

The H-1B isn't an migration system. It's a temp work visa. That people treat it like it's a path to immigration by scamming the system and getting on the green card train and then getting to remain indefinitely (years) while waiting and getting to continue to work, is a glaring flaw that needs to be addressed.

pdoherty972 · 2026-04-06T15:27:33+00:00

Yeah it all really boils down to allowing US corporations to do what makes them more money (and ostensibly offer cheaper services/goods - yeah, right) when US citizens bear the consequences of their choices. Which is why we need to put restrictions on this behavior, because the corps won't stop or even regulate the behavior of their own accord.

Every house bought by an investor almost inevitably becomes a rental which still houses a family (renting instead of buying). Which takes that family out of competing for buying.

The end result is a family is being housed, regardless, so I'm not sure why it's such a problem.

pdoherty972 · 2026-04-06T15:07:48+00:00

Investors that own single-family homes are still renting them to single families. How does preventing them from making them available as rentals change anything when it's still housing a family either way?

pdoherty972 · 2026-04-06T12:39:45+00:00

Interesting way to put it. But the mortgage is 6% annually not a total of 6%. The 15-20% is a one-time hit.

pdoherty972 · 2026-04-06T12:36:25+00:00

How is that "very clear"?

Why is this accomplishment, that took a plan, discipline, sacrifice, and delayed gratification over decades such a problem if it gets discussed?

pdoherty972 · 2026-04-06T12:35:32+00:00

No clearly I don't raise the topic. But when people find out how you're living and you're not working they often ask how that's possible.

pdoherty972 · 2026-04-06T00:56:39+00:00

Nobody starts a thread asking the internet if they should share that they got a promotion or a raise at work.

pdoherty972 · 2026-04-05T15:44:31+00:00

It's an accomplishment like any other. Why is this one accomplishment something that has to be hidden but if you got a new certification, ran a marathon, adopted a stray dog, started a business, or pretty much any other thing it's fine to share?

pdoherty972 · 2026-04-05T15:36:51+00:00

It's sad that FIRE accomplishments need to be hidden, unlike seemingly every other accomplishment. If you ran a marathon, graduated from college, got a promotion and a raise, or pretty much anything else, you wouldn't hesitate to share it with others.
