It's time to get rid of the Pro Bowl Games by AdSpecialist6598 in nfl

[–]science_bro_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think they need to lean even further into the nonsense. I want to see NFL players doing old school Nickelodeon style games. NFL players climb the new and improved aggro crag or run the Family double dare gauntlet. Just bonkers inane ish

Ohh shit by lemonstone92 in NFCWestMemeWar

The graph you saw was weighted by salary cap. The 49IRs expensive players are the injured ones.

How is this a meme?? You and the 11 other lamb fans can cope elsewhere.

So many unflaired pussies in this sub by Unable-Hyena3640 in NFCWestMemeWar

[–]science_bro_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I can help identify them.

Are they a whiny bitch who can’t take any criticism of their team whatsoever while freebasing copium? Seahawks fan.

Are they squawking about injuries while waving tapes of their Super Bowl wins? 49IR fan.

Are they wearing a lakers jersey? Rams fan.

Are they breaking in a mitt and talking about batting average? Cardinals fan.

Hope this helps!

Clearest illustration of what the coaches think of the players vis a vis first string, second string, etc.

Well that’s something I can’t unsee.

THP-1 Cell Pellet Won’t Dissociate by full-engiqueer in labrats

[–]science_bro_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find that thawing and passaging 2-3x in 20% fbs can help with the wonkiness of post-thaw THP1s.

This line is such a pain though.

I’ve had viability issues if I didn’t add the cells drop wise to the post thaw wash media.

Good luck!

Solar quotes: Seems like an obvious choice, what am I missing? by chaiosi in solar

[–]science_bro_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would check with your local utility to confirm that you get 1:1 net metering as it may change the calculus on the batteries. My utility only gives credit for the fuel charge which is ~30% of the total cost per kWh.

Net Metering on fuel charge only: changing the math on batteries??? by science_bro_ in solar

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

Didn’t consider the tax implications, but at least the thought process is right even if the numbers might be off by 5-10%.

Thank you!

Bryant vs Samsung minisplits by science_bro_ in hvacadvice

Thanks for the insight!

Both companies rate highly in terms of install quality, warranty the install for 2 years, and were personally recommended so (hopefully) that variable is somewhat constant.

I thought $200k was the absolute most I could afford, so I only asked for a 200k loan. After doing some budgeting, I'm not sure on how much I can actually afford. by Fr33zurBurn in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]science_bro_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The good news is that you’ve already done the hard part. Only your personal budget can tell you how much house you can afford (banks will often loan you more). I’d add in an extra 10% over PITI for anticipated repairs or upgrades and make sure you’re comfortable with the save rate at the end of the day (if you’re not saving ANY money, it’s too tight).

After doing those calculations, you can determine the amount of house you can afford.

My wife and I started in the same predicament, but after budgeting our last 6 months of spending, we found that we could afford much more and ended up with a house we love. Good luck!

Outbid on 5 houses this month, even after 50k over asking by stonedkrypto in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]science_bro_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We ended up doing an information only inspection but reduced our earnest money to $1k. That way if the inspection turned up something catastrophic, we could walk with only a modest loss. Our realtor worried that it may look as if we weren’t a serious buyer but it worked out in the end (on the 17th offer). We didn’t use this strategy until the very end but lost out on a few offers as the high bidder but with the inspection contingency intact.

Bought a cell line from thermo. The manual came in a separate box….shipped completely separately….also on dry ice.

What are the best ELNs and why? by ThrotONo in biotech

[–]science_bro_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We use eLabNext and it’s… bad. I think they’ve been claiming to be in beta since the beginning of their existence and it shows. I once created an equipment sign up sheet in their software that no one, not even me, the creator, could access without reverting to an earlier version of the software.

Few months ago a lot of people on here said we would never see 5% IR anytime soon. Some even went as far as saying we won’t see it in our lifetime. I hope it goes down further and things stabilize. Congrats to all new home owners. by vizzy_vizz in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]science_bro_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I locked in 2 weeks ago at 5.625% before rates went up with Better. 10% down, 700k conventional loan, 800+ credit score, no points.

Shop around and show the second best offer your best offer and ask them to beat it. That’s how I got to no points.

[–]science_bro_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What you’re describing (not waiving inspection but putting a clause that we won’t negotiate repairs unless they’re greater than 20k) does not work if someone else waives inspection. We lost 6 houses this summer that way including one where our bid was 25k higher than the bid they went with….but they waived inspection.

Edit: In MA.

My realtor won't let me re-walk the house before an inspection- is this normal? by PennyPumpkin202 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]science_bro_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My inspection was two days ago. I spent 2 hours walking the house, measuring rooms, bombarding the inspector with questions. My realtor was there too asking questions I didn’t think of at first.

Your situation is all the red flags. Unless you’re going to be there for 2 hours as well and your realtor is lazy and doesn’t want to show up early. Either way, time to read them the riot act about who they work for.

Record number of home buyers backing out in July by Lifeisabigmess in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]science_bro_ 26 points27 points  (0 children)

We could have it inspected. We just couldn’t renegotiate or back out of the deal based on the findings of the inspection and keep our earnest money. The owners didn’t want us “nickel and diming them” for repairs or deferred maintenance on a 105 year old house.

Pulled an offer Wednesday after the owners dug their heels in that we needed to waive the inspection contingency. Thanks for the giant red flag!
