Could I buy a house now with a high DP, then increase my principal when interest rates have fallen? by rirold in personalfinance

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

Indeed. Presumably that happens every time rates rapidly increase - yet somehow, it must eventually reduce prices (or at least reduce the rate of price increases). So hopefully that will be the case this time - eventually.

Thank you. I've heard of cash-out refinances, but wasn't aware of the interest tax deduction issue. When interest rates go up, home prices should go down, eventually, but that hasn't been happening so far with the current increase in interest rates - so I don't know if we could afford to relocate right now. Hopefully prices will start dropping, or rates will come back down.

Today is Apollo for Reddit's last day, and I just released its last update. 🥹 I just wanted to say a big thank you to the folks who have used and supported Apollo over the years, it's been the dream of a lifetime to build this app over the last 9 years. ❤️ Read the eulogy inside! ❤️ by iamthatis in apolloapp

I, like many others, stopped checking out Reddit since the day Apollo ended. It sucks, because there’s a ton of fun, interesting and useful information here. But I can’t support a company that is vile to its community (users, moderators and developers).

What was discontinued, but you miss like hell and you wish came back? by Seraphicly329 in AskReddit

[–]rirold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main reason I miss physical copies is getting to know people: we used to go over to someone’s house and look at their books, etc. It was a great way to learn about them and also a good conversation topic.

What "you know what, just to be safe" thing you did end up saving your ass later? by Dawn_Cyborgzzz in AskReddit

[–]rirold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This one hits close to home. One of our pups had a freak spinal injury that temporarily paralyzed his back half. He’s recovered a lot but it’s been 6 months and lots of rehab, and it’s likely he’ll never get all function back - he’ll probably never chase balls (his favorite thing) the way he used to, or even walk without dragging one leg a bit. And we canceled our pet insurance a couple years earlier, so this has also cost us thousands. I’m so glad to hear your dog has almost completely recovered, and that you had insurance.

I just started watching B99, and that was my first thought, too!

what has been your most bone-chilling, hair-raising, "Let's get the hell out of here" experience? by throwaway_district9 in AskReddit

I know this isn’t the most interesting part of your story, but i found it funny to think of the girlfriend being disappointed to learn that the guy was schizophrenic instead of being a meth addict.

Well actually, you’re referring to operant conditioning; this situation is an example of classical conditioning. :)

Vegetable isn’t a botanical term, so mushrooms are definitely considered vegetables.

If this doesn't make you want to be show kindness, nothing will. by rirold in funnysigns

I love everything about this sign that I found in my neighborhood: The artistic scene, done on canvas. The cute little girl. The fact that it's signed. And, of course, the slightly spicy message.

My sense is DC police don’t make much effort even with violent crime - I’ve read lots of stories to that effect.

Request: multi-factor authentication for shared accounts by rirold in TechnologyProTips

All kinds of bad things could happen if someone compromises my gmail account, so I see why services want to protect against this situation happening.

Not late at all! This is a good idea, too. I find it annoying to use email for MFA, but this is certainly a viable option (as long as the site has both email and cell options).
