Homes aren't selling because they aren't affordable. High interest rates are a big part of the lack of affordability, given the federal government's large budget deficit and it's impact on the long end of the yield curve, I don't see that changing anytime soon and it will likely worsen. Pulling your home off the market because you won't cut your price isn't a great move unless you want to continue holding on to your home for many years to come.

I will never own a grill that has to connect to wifi. In fact, I actively avoid any appliance that adds unnecessary IOT functionality.

Being sensitive and being led to believe that you're too sensitive are not mutually exclusive. I grew up an abusive environment, and being able to quickly tune in on the moods of the adults around me saved me from plenty of beatings. Unfortunately, I also experienced a lot of emotional invalidation, including repeatedly being told I was "too sensitive". This not only gives the abusers a free pass, it grooms you for abuse by others, as you tend to doubt your own feelings. It wasn't until I learned about facial microexpressions that I was able to recognize the basis for my intuitive "gut" feelings - I have an almost superhuman ability to read people, undoubtedly because I learned this as a child as a way to protect myself from my parents. So yes, I am "sensitive," but I've learned to trust my instincts, which are almost always 100% right at picking up on an off "vibe".

Telling you that you're too sensitive is a classic move by manipulative people, including parents, leading people to believe that they're overly sensitive. If your gut is telling you that something is wrong, it likely is.

I was really hoping to see Lewis on the podium, but this was an amazing drive by Hulkenberg and was happy to see him get the podium.

It was an exceptional race. Don't often see Verstappen losing it and giving up positions.

I hate when cats do that to you.

You make a good point. I see it as the U.S. being in a Cold War type situation, but as you note, there are already regional conflicts. However, even during the Cold War the U.S. was involved in conflicts in Korea and Vietnam, where it saw itself as trying to stem the growth of Communism being spread by the Soviet Union.

 

I'd say 2005-2015. Mature enough to be useful, but didn't really go to shit yet.

Well, we are currently teeing it up.

My favorite are the old bathtubs stood up and half-buried with statues of the Virgin Mary or Jesus inside.

My question is whether nuclear winter will mitigate the CO2 warming.

Where would you move to ride out a potential WWIII?
