My buddy grew up in Omaha and most of his family lives there. All safe from what he knows but it was really close.

Yea I bought in 2020 just as prices were lifting off and right before rates bottomed out. My mortgage is $1400 but if I bought my exact house today it'd be more like $2500.

Re: Vermont
Hell even in Tucson. The median home price is $330k. That works out to a mortgage payment if about $2400/month. The median gross household income is $51k. So net, that's about $3k a month. That's 80% of your net income on your mortgage alone. Rent isn't much better with a measly 2 bedroom going for ...

28 days of PTO, 6 sick days, 11.5 paid holidays for me. Plus 6 weeks parental leave. Any unused PTO rolls into a medical reserve account. I'm probably in the top 10% when it comes to paid time off and if this was Europe I'd still be getting the bare minimum.

What method do you use? I use Kenji's oven "fried" one where you use salt and baking powder to dry brine the wings in the fridge for a day in advance then bake them in a convection oven. Just as good as any fried wing I've had. Much cheaper too.

Re: Jedd Fisch
We crossed the Rubicon on college football not being just the NFL minor leagues about 20 years ago. Money and winning are the only important factors. Period. It's a multi-billion dollar business and anyone who thinks it's about the student athletes or traditions or loyalty is stuck in the 80s.

I have these giant splints in my nose but no.packing and lots of sutures. Apparently the ENT said he is convinced id broken my nose at least twice but that's news to me. He had to clean out a lot of scar tissue that had started turning to bone I guess. Said it was really bad up there.
