My favorite from my time working in the news industry:
Neighbor puts toilets in their yard facing other neighbors house. That neighbor builds a fence so they don't have to look at the toilets. Original neighbor then hangs toilets from the tree so it is visible over the fence. Cue complaints to get toilets removed by city/county.
I believe the original dispute had to do with tearing out a shared bush and parking on lawn, but I don't recall the details.
I didn't have very high expectations of it going in, but I was absolutely blown away. It deserves all the acclaim it's received.
I just finished watching The Bear. I absolutely loved it, though there is certainly a lot of yelling in that show.
Oh fun. $330k for a 500sqft shack that is partially collapsed. The only info on the listing states the lot will need to be scraped, so basically that is the cost of an empty lot.
Going out a bit further, you can find a couple of houses around $350k that are liveable. They are 700-900 sqft and 0-2 bedrooms.
It's just lovely when a c-level exec makes delivery promises to a customer without consulting with the development team. Now we have to somehow complete a very complex feature across multiple teams in 1 month.
At least I'm that much closer to RE with today's ridiculous market gains.
How high are you OP?
A while back I applied with the USPS and got called in for an interview. It wasn't a real interview, but more of a presentation on all the required next steps to be hired (there were at least 20 of us in the room). I ended up getting a different job before my start date, but if you were able to do all the steps by the deadline the job was yours.
Nice! I'm still waiting on a couple of forms from my spouse before they will be completed. Getting married has really messed up our numbers. The first year we owed somewhere around $5000. The last couple of years we got back that amount instead. I miss the days of filing single and getting within a couple hundred dollars of the right number.
That is the example that OP referred to in their question
In this week's edition of celebrating random milestones:
It took me roughly 10 months to earn last years gross salary in portfolio gains. Glad to see my portfolio earns more than I do, especially since it doesn't have to pay taxes on that income.
Assuming you're mostly in a broad US market fund, the numbers should look pretty nice from a year ago.
I no longer buy cereal because it has become way too expensive for the low nutritional/satiety value. Sorry, Kellogg, you'll have to do better if you want to convince people to eat more cereal.
