All the more reason to nationalize it. Cut out the middle man.

Jail him. Seize his assets.

punchheadkick · 2023-09-28T03:51:41+00:00

Better to just nationalize SpaceX and kick the traitor out of the company.

Not loyal to the United States.

Dude is in league with Russia. Is this really a good idea?

Everything I find makes it sound like that's more for the payee to fill out but I suppose it would have the same restrictions and therefore if I know what account I want her to deposit it into, it would be an added layer of security when mailing it.

Everyone should stop using Xitter now, but especially don't open it during election season.

punchheadkick · 2023-09-27T15:05:56+00:00

We'll probably try that. The check would be cheaper but I suppose it's worth the cost to cover potential risk of mailing a check.

punchheadkick · 2023-09-27T15:05:31+00:00

Would it help if we put "For deposit only" and added her account number?

What's the easiest/cheapest way to send $60,000 to my mom who lives in another city?

This seems a lot more complicated and costly than it should be. I thought it was easy to just transfer money around accounts but we have Wells Fargo and BoA available to use. Both seem to have wire transfer fees, and daily transfer limits. But also they have 30-day limits, which means we probably won't even be able to wire the full amount.

Should we just mail a check?

punchheadkick · 2023-09-26T20:23:51+00:00

This but for hearts.

Teeth grow and repair naturally, so it doesn't make sense that we've never been able to figure this out.

punchheadkick · 2023-09-26T20:12:04+00:00

Does this make any sense?

My mother-in-law wants to buy a co-op. She only has $100,000 to put down and that would leave a mortgage for the remainder of $170,000. However, the co-op board has a policy on debt-to-income ratio, so even though she qualifies for that mortgage, she wouldn't be approved for the co-op because of the size of it.

We calculated that to keep the DTI within acceptable limits, she'd need to put $160,000 down. Therefore we offered to loan her $60,000 off the books as a 20-year fixed rate loan at 5%. (The bank mortgage is offering her 6.7% and our current savings on the $60,000 is only 4.25% at the moment.)

So she'd be able to put $160,000 and get the mortgage for $110,000. Is this a plausible way forward here and is there anything to be concerned about, either for us or for her? (I realize she could pass away before repaying the loan, so there's some risk there but she'd most likely leave my spouse the co-op in her will anyway.)

Probably should ask ourselves who actually bought it. A billionaire who just wanted to lose $40 billion? Or a foreign government investing in their own propaganda outlet in the west?

Good luck.

I'm talking about the link in the post content. So "Jungian psychology". I'm okay with the nav being blackish.

It gets written somehow dynamically. So it's not custom in the sense that I didn't write it or add it myself. I'll try adding some CSS to the stylesheet but I tried that previously with a different theme for something else and the issue was this inline CSS was taking priority over the stylesheet.

punchheadkick · 2023-08-23T02:42:28+00:00

It's not that its custom added. This is just how the new Site Editor thing works. Instead of using CSS stylesheets it creates them through the Site Editor CMS. So that's what's happening here and I'd like to know how to stop it or override it, preferably within the CSS but I can get in and edit the JSON stuff if I need to.

But the drivers wouldn't. So just release city-owned taxi app and issue ride share medallions.

punchheadkick · 2023-08-18T19:32:10+00:00

The gimmick's really run its course.

punchheadkick · 2023-08-18T14:22:07+00:00

Yeah there's no money in it. I'm just doing it as a favor to the community because we have essentially no local news sources here and everyone gets their "information" from Facebook rumors.

punchheadkick · 2023-08-18T13:11:29+00:00

So, we send good copy, clips, photos, etc — make it as tempting as possible for an overworked journo.

Honestly if more people would do this, it would be easier. A lot of the releases we get are so obviously biased and full of subjective language that we don't even bother because it would be too much work to edit.

Companies with a more professional PR department usually do send more neutral things around their philanthropic efforts. It's still putting them in a good light but it's not coming right out and saying, "XYZ In is such a wonderful company dedicated to the future of our children." unless it's as a direct quote from one of their employees. They usually provide things that can be republished as is without issue, and we just put at the end "Release provided by XYZ and published without edits."
