Found on /r/hardwareswap, a guy is selling a gaming PC to buy stock in AMD (who is on the verge of releasing potentially a good CPU that may out perform Intel and looks to invest a quarter of his total income to it.quote:Hey everyone, to begin I have a full PC Build. + Other Parts below.. Your going to hate me but this is the loving truth I swear. I basically do not need a gaming PC at the moment. And my will to game has faded...but my will for gainz is growing. I have recently found the sub /r/wallstreetbets and I'm selling all my poo poo and YOLOing the gently caress out. Edit: I also just checked out /r/wallstreetbets... holy gently caress lol cage-free egghead fucked around with this message at 16:20 on Feb 24, 2017 |

MrOnBicycle posted:And yes I know that we don't pay tuition fees so if you can live with your parents / have a partner that supports you, it's free. Most people have to take loans to live. But even that is cheap. I'll have about $50k in loans @ <1% interest. So nothing to complain about there. That's a good safety net in case you have to fail out of med school. In the USA, if you fail or quit one year before becoming a doctor, you are left with up to half a million in student loans that cannot be got rid of in any way, even bankruptcy. That must be pretty stressful. With only 50k in student loans if you decide "I hate this" you can pay off your loans doing some other job and be free.

From the local craigslist:horse people posted:.ET, is looking for a new home. We had her as an embryo transfer mare for our last foal. I have sat on her and walked around and she seems sane. Walk trot canter on the line. Must go to a good home. Now besides giving away a presumably expensive animal, there is nothing inherently BWM about this ad. But it does hint at something I didn't know existed, but seems real, real BWM: horse IVF

that's how the rich people with the fancy horses do it, because old-fashioned humping always involves some risk of injury to both the mare and stallion (which if they're both six-figure animals, is bad), and also because it's cheaper and easier to transport a tank of nitrogen-frozen semen straws than it is to transport a neurotic horse. horseback riding is fun. horse ownership is just, the worst thing. im so glad i got tf out of my country town

Oh I know they did the AI, but the idea that you do the actual IVF where they create the embryo outside of the horse and then transfer it to a horse surrogate is insane to me.

They sometimes say that you can fail 3 times tops, but don't think it's common at all. If I quit I'll have maxed out my student loans though. 6 years is max from the government. Won't be quitting as there is nothing I'd rather do.

I have a distant relative that is a scumbag and possibly a rapist. He allegedly sexually assaulted a female member of his cohort in his last year of medical school. So he dropped out and moved back home. His older brother bailed him out, and to repay him he was supposed to work at the older brother's business and do data entry for a few months. Tax time rolled around a few months later and none of the data had been entered. His next job he got fired from. He was an assistant manager at a mexican food restaurant, and he would close it down early on the weekends and host open-bar parties for his friends. The only thing that doesn't make me completely revolted by this douchebag is that he's basically unemployable with over half a million dollars in student loan debt. He's never getting unburied from that.

More ways your parents can get screwed: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PACE_financing Essentially you get a loan to do energy efficient upgrades to your house. That's fine, but it is paid off as an increase in your tax assessment that can be 5-20 years. Try selling a house with an excessive tax burden for the next decade.

I think the fear is the ones selling these want the money, and have fewer legal obligations to explain the terms properly. Apparently many are left with a new tax bill they are unable to afford. Caveat emptor, but hey, this is America right?

I absolutely love my mum to bits and she is a fantastic lady however she subscribes to the Australian Mania of buying as much house as the bank will allow you to even in times of record low interest rates, and is trying to apply it vicariously to me. To the point where she keeps on suggesting houses in upmarket areas that in combination with strata fees and council rates will put my expenses above my income and then just blithely suggests that she will be happy to cover the shortfall. Thanks but no thanks, buying a house on a single income while living in a country that looks to be heading towards a recession is daunting enough to begin with, let alone while simultaneously worrying about not being able to afford your fortnightly bills or crippling your mother's retirement funds.

People miss the boat hard on AMD stock. People are idiots thinking it's going to shoot up like apple or google. Insane thinking. Full disclosure: I've held (ironically) amd stock for years because it was $2. Honestly I held it like a child would hold a diamond: It was shiny and fun to play with.

We have two cats that are litter-box trained although the one throws up a lot. The apartment is pet friendly and they know we have the two, one we paid a pet deposit for and the other is a support animal for my mental illness.

I watched a version of this play out a few houses down from ours just this week. Sellers had to pay to have the panels moved and installed at their new home. The house was only on the market for a few days, but the solar panels came off the same day the SOLD sign went up.

Haifisch posted:Someone needs to give them the bad news that cats always smell 100x worse than their owner thinks they do. It's like body odor - your brain gets used to that poo poo since it's around it all the time. If you, the owner, are smelling generic litter box odor, everyone else is smelling piss and death. It must be a fancy one, because you don't need to wait for your tax return to buy a plastic box. Maybe they are going to get a $450 Litter Robot. https://www.litter-robot.com/litter-robot-iii-open-air.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUSdvYriphw A goon got one and said they are really good.

monster on a stick posted:Eh, if it raises property value/lowers utility costs enough to pay for itself, someone will bite. How often does this really happen? I have an old house in a cold climate and there's definitely stuff I could do to improve my heating efficiency, but when I do the math I don't think I can get my money back. There's totally an argument for doing it for environmental reasons, but it seems like you would need to have amazing savings for many years to pay off triple-pane windows or whatever. I always wonder what kind of savings people are actually getting from their energy upgrades.

My wife grew up around there, and I remember that whenever I'd drive out to visit, there'd be a bunch of run down houses and overgrown grass, then I'd pass some invisible boundary and all of a sudden the street signs look nice, the lawns are all well-kept, and the houses are beautiful.

We have had two- one for 8 years that only had one issue and the parts were replaced on warranty, and we bought a new one a few years ago because the technology had improved and it has a much quieter motor. We have 4 cats, so it really is a life saver. But we also have other regular boxes that get scooped twice daily. If you can ever smell your litter box at all, you're not doing it right. For the whole apartment to smell I am sure there was pee on the floor around it.
