Living on the west coast I'd love to tell you that margs are the best beach drink but the Miami to Key West beach bars serving all the rum runners and frozen drinks was like 1000% more fun. Also California doesn't know how to party on the beach, don't listen to Dr Dre Braksgirl posted:Depends where I am, but I really like the piña coladas with the raspberry puree swirled in them. I also like a mai tai. we can party. I'll go strawberry over raspberry but otherwise 100 and make that mai tai firehouse style with the floating 151

Leperflesh posted:It's (not actually) surprising the journalist writing this article can't see the glaring difference between Zillow etc. risking their own money on home flips, vs. a real estate agent funneling listings to clients. The agent risks nothing, he just picks up his 2.5-3% commission on each sale. Actually you're misunderstanding as well. Zillow's failed iBuyer program charged sellers from 1.5% to 9% in fees (average was 7.5%!) on top of a typical lower price compared to the market value. If the buyer was working with an agent then the seller also had to pay for the buyers' agent commission. It failed because Zillow was/is very bad at pricing homes using a fancy algorithm - in part because of COVID - and ended up with a bunch of property they paid way too much for and couldn't sell. This guy is doing the same thing but using a group of investor money and selling it. It's his risk if he improperly prices the homes too high and can't sell them for enough to make a profit. In either case, commission was being paid. None of this is really anything new. Besides Zillow there have been other groups that have tried this. The challenge is that outside of a subset of cookie cutter homes in a very large market where you have lots of data points to draw from, it's very difficult to determine the perfect price to buy the home, sell it quickly, and make a tidy profit. Generally, this is why you'd want a human person who is familiar with that market and can actually visit the property to determine the price. Everyone wants to disrupt that process with technology but it just hasn't worked yet. Maybe the chess guy has cracked the code or perhaps has just gotten really lucky in one stable market. And since he's not going to be sharing his system anytime soon we don't know how much human input it actually uses.

It’s honestly why i mainly drink water with a few shots every hour to buzz it up. Nice and easy wake-up the following morning.

The one good thing about the US is that its vastness makes for every kind of vacation/destination possible. We got beaches, mountains, deserts, incredible wild life and hiking and a city literally built for fun exclusively, on top of a bunch of other fun places. So yeah, sign me up for only travelling domestically if that means I get all that poo poo in return.

In either case, commission was being paid. Did you read a different article than me? The linked article said he's a real estate broker and has moneyed clients. It does not say he directly invested, nor that he collected money from his clients to invest, and it compares his performance to that of other real estate brokers in his area. Chess Dude isn't risking his own money, unless the article severely misrepresented his business. He's an agent. Impossibly Perfect Sphere posted:I wanna know if the $500k gift was 500k pre or post tax. Cause I bet it's the latter. Weirdly, in 2026, the lifetime exclusion amount will revert back to its pre-2018 level of around $5 million per individual. So, rich people are going to want to gift to their kids/grandkids/etc. right up to the limit before then. Also of course you can just put however much you want into a trust with your giftee as a beneficiary of the trust and avoid tax even on much larger gifts, so y'know. The gift tax is basically bullshit.

LeeMajors posted:Sure, but get a motivated tech millionaire who buys up all the cheapest rooms at Disney for like every spring break and summer weekend for the next 5 years then builds his own market to resell....? I mean, I know not all these folks are competent but this gives a lot of leeway to really gently caress some poo poo up for normal people who are working hard to afford vacations for their kids. It might work for other resorts, but I kinda feel the moment Disney realizes a scalper is making more money off their rooms than they are is the moment that program ends.

MI: Fallout is a fantastic movie, but the scene where Ving Rhames for some reason has to explain what's in Ethan's heart to his ex-wife (or to his current love interest, can't remember) is really emblematic of where Tom Cruise is at as an actor right now.

That’s really loving depressing, I’m sorry goon parents  Re: If I Can Do It Anyone Can house chat, I have an acquaintance who graduated and got a job at the company who’s president just so happens to be his parent’s longtime friend and neighbor and also his childhood best friend’s dad, and then he just worked full time and lived at his parents house until he was 29 and had enough saved to buy like a 300K house on his own. The best part is he’s so out of touch, whenever a house in his neighborhood goes up for sale he makes sure to alert our large group chat “In case anyones looking” and we have to remind him that he’s known us all for 20+ years and should know not a single one of us could purchase these now 450K+ house me in his neighborhood

I'm just numb to it tbh. If I let myself engage emotionally with it the right answer is to leave the country because our country has resoundingly decided we just don't care. We continue expanding access to firearms then wonder why mass shootings and gun violence continually tick up as if there's not a direct connection between the two. Not sending my kid to school or out in to the world is not an option so I have to figure out a way to do so without giving myself crippling anxiety.
