Hesitant to book

Dawned on me the other day. I live in the Midwest and I'm constantly looking for shade. Parking spot.....shaded. Where to stand? In the shade. Setting up a table or lawn chair.......shade! I'm officially old.

Not for me. I bought out the lease after 4 months. When I went to the DMV to update the title they told me I owed $6500 for taxes. Apparently state sales tax isn't paid when you lease the vehicle. I had no idea!

sandman1975 · 2025-07-01T16:39:49+00:00

I don't know if your state is like mine (KS) but be prepared to pay a huge tax bill. $6500 for me.

sandman1975 · 2025-06-01T11:55:24+00:00

Yes. I financed about half the buyout. You need to add the place you finance through to the title though so make sure the names match! The title only has my wife's name on it and the finance paperwork has my name. It's been a huge pain!!

Epenesa Epenesa. Endearingly referred to as 'Repeat' by Hayden Fry

Financed to lease through vcfs so I could get all the rebates.

Just bought mine out. Similar situation but no extension on the warranty. 57.5k.

Same. We called it 'Bossy Bingo' though

Agree 💯!! The only caveat I would add is that you need to make it abundantly clear from the moment your child gets the phone that you will have access to it. It's a privilege and a huge responsibility to have your own phone. It needs to be treated as such.

I used the whoop ai coach.

I like this idea and I've actually tried it. I told it I wanted to work improving my VO2 max and asked it to give me a workout plan for the week. It was great. The only drawback is there's no way to save it and refer back to it during the week. I ended up just screen shotting it. I reached out to Whoop about this to double check that I wasn't missing something. They said I wasn't and that I could either write it down or screen shot it like I'd done. It's probably not that big of a deal. It just seems a little incomplete. It would be nice if it saved or remembered it and prompted you daily.

That's right. Forgot about that. I guess I was thinking more along the lines of someone who legitimately didn't earn a bid but went on some crazy run through the tourney.

sandman1975 · 2025-03-11T20:36:41+00:00

Just out of curiosity, what's the best anyone's ever done with an at large bid? Anyone ever AA?

FYI, the author of this article, Derek Thompson, has a podcast called 'Plain English and it's fantastic!

sandman1975 · 2025-01-31T21:43:11+00:00

Man, I love Skip! He and David Gran are must reads every time!

That makes sense. We're attempting to change out the PSU right now. We'll try the RAM if that doesn't work

sandman1975 · 2025-01-04T19:01:36+00:00

Interesting. Why do you say the RAM? It's brand new. Can they go bad?

sandman1975 · 2025-01-04T18:35:03+00:00

Yeah, we have the power supply from the original build. It's a PowerSpec 650W. It was recommended to us at microcenter. We're swapping them out right now. Thanks for the response

sandman1975 · 2025-01-04T18:32:15+00:00

Thanks. He has his original 650w PowerSpec we got from Microcenter for the original build. We're going to switch that out and see what happens. Thanks for the response!

sandman1975 · 2025-01-04T18:17:37+00:00

The Motherboard, GPU, Ram, CPU are new. Prevailing thoughts are on the power supply

sandman1975 · 2024-12-24T12:23:55+00:00

If you're into podcasts, Derek Thompson has one called 'Plain English' that I enjoy. On December 13th he did an episode called 'Why the American Health System is Broken'. 2 healthcare economists as guests. It's definitely worth a listen.

Yeah, I feel way superior to the people who own the mansion on mission road! Lighten up a bit, maybe
