  3. Most of America when it comes to drugs
  4. Jimmy dean complaint quotes go brrrr
  5. To be fair, quoting a single individual's statistics to refute an actual study? Would be a running joke in any statistics class in the country. Could you PLEASE give us info on these rentals. It sounds as if you have been holding at least some of the properties a decade? I don't want to argue against you. I am just curious (and personally scared) because I am thinking of writing a check, to buy out my sister to get my Father's home upon his demise. I PM'ed you if you don't want make that info public. Which I understand. What is certain, is that Multiple things can be true. Builders have not seen prices rise by the same percentages as lumber futures trading rises. Have prices risen at Lowes and Home Depot on Lumber? Absolutely! But retail responds more quickly ton inflation for a variety of reasons, than price increases for wholesale volume buying through established B2B supply chains. Housing and rent has increased dramatically. Again for a variety of reasons. IMHO mainly because corporate and private equity has entered the market in a way we have only seen previously after steep market retreats. I was told by an agent in the Belton area that over 30% of the houses sold in Bell county in 2024, we not to individuals, but to corporate investors. Please correct me if I am wrong here, but presently the percentage of non-homestead home purchases is as high as we have ever seen in a "normal" market? You can lose money on rent houses or make money on rent houses. Depends on what you paid for the property and how much rent you can get. If you bought a rent property in the Spring of 2023? You are likely not covering that nut. Just like you couldn't when you bought the home. It's also true that for many people turning a "profit" on rentals never comes. Unless you exclude the generous, depreciation income deduction, from your bottom line. I for instance would never buy a turn key investment property. The longer term increase in equity in the remodel and higher rent because of the remodel. But a lot of folks buy retail, rent retail, and thus have a lot thinner margin to make a profit. I will say I found @Captainant link interesting. Looking specifically constant dollars, versus current dollars. Since 2020 in Texas $1091 in 2020, $1503 in 2025 in current dollars. In contrast in constant dollars $1091 in 2020, vs $1183 in 2025. I have no idea about the veracity of the site. But I would find it extremely difficult to even remotely suggest that wages have kept pace with rising rents. So since this is the Market rather than RE thread, which of you guys are placing big stock bets on builders this week? How are you investing in stocks in relation to the RE market? I searched for "top real estate stocks", and got a yahoo link that shows and compares the RE stocks to the S&P. Glad I chimed in on this. As I am considering taking all of my inheritance in a future rental property, than in cash and stock. This link makes me wonder if the cash might be a better option? Anyhow interesting to look at the sectors that are kicking ass and which are not. I was mainly looking the 6 month (current) and 5 year (historic) numbers. Interesting stuff. https://finance.yahoo.com/sectors/real-estate/
  6. He also seems to be back on the S&C tangent he was on in 2021, based on what he said on his podcast yesterday. Something about how the way we lift weights isn't translating to football strength and the top weight room performers are transfers.
  7. One of the MCU's better castings since the OG casting, she's such a star.
  8. You’re right. He probably wouldn’t be marching with these guys in Huntington Beach. This happened…checks notes…two days ago.
  9. No haven't been able to watch videos this morning. Was he carrying the whole assembled rifle when he jumped down from the building?
  10. And we are not all posting on our social media accounts using our real names. You have to be pretty stupid to post controversial things on your social media accounts post-2014 IMO.
  11. I imagine TCM will have a nice tribute and marathon. Time to load up the dvr I guess.
  12. Soybeans, because that appears to be what we now have an over abundance of with China exiting our buyers market. They’ll all be soy boys.
  13. Damn, I really thought he'd be back to face BYE
  14. I got tired of seeing people post hateful comments about a man who was shot in the neck in front of his wife and kids with little to no actual knowledge about his beliefs. You are entitled to your opinion about his ideologies, and I don’t hate you for having them.

  16. Eddie George was the cover of the 2000/2001 Madden for PS2. I think he's correct (and that is a PS2 screengrab).
  17. That's actually all of Surly.
  18. I wouldn't hold my breath for NYT. Between their storied history of toadying up to and downplaying the danger of fascism (insert 1924 Hilter headline), and trading away all their ethics for access ala Haberman, they have done the yeoman's work to get their messaging out and sanewash it to push the overton window ever further to the right. I don't think it's intentional on their part, but they sure do find it happening over and over and over again
  19. Building on that - Baxter is likely out until Florida.
  20. "Ok, listen here son. We know you did it. All we need is for you to say is that you're a radical leftist who was desperately in love with your trans roomie. That bussy was just too tempting for you. So you shot Kirk to make your furry trans lover happy. K?" "But, but, but I'm a Groyper! I killed Kirk for a laugh and because he's a dirty Jew lov. . ." "No, no, no. Leftist. Trans. Boy pussy. Stick to the script. A heartfelt apology and remorse that you turned your back on your caring, MAGA, freedom loving family would also be a big help." "But that's not tru. . ." "And by the way, you're absolutely getting the death penalty immediately with no appeals or extended time on death row. Trump actually wants you shot as soon as you leave the court house. So, yeah. Here's a pen!"
  21. OTF Premium Tuesday - Adversity By Bobby Burton For those of you wanting obvious answers or quick fixes to the QB conundrum, Steve Sarkisian offered none yesterday. At his weekly press availability, Sark acknowledged the issues his QB is having but focused instead on the idea that Arch Manning will be better for it once he comes out on the other side. Of course, Texas fans are wondering when exactly we are going to see the other side. Wil it be in 2025? The offense has been so lackluster that lofty pre-season aspirations have already been reduced. I’ll admit, there is wisdom in what Sark said. Facing adversity, then overcoming it, it makes us all better. And maybe that’s what Manning is going through now. Yet here’s the issue Texas fans are grappling with: Not all quarterbacks overcome that adversity before eventually flourishing. Some just wither. Despite what Sark said, there’s no guarantee that adversity will make Arch Manning a better quarterback, or a quarterback that will eventually lead Texas to a college football playoff. Instead, Sark is making a projection into the future. The problem? A projection doesn’t win games in the here and now. ** One thing I feel comfortable with is this: Sark is the coach making these statements and these decisions. This is not his first time shepherding a talented young QB through early season woes. He knows better than us whether or not Manning will eventually come through the other side. ** For those wondering, I remain a big believer in the future of Arch Manning. I don’t think a QB looks tremendous one year and overwhelmed the next. Not without a level of talent that is hard to stop from eventually blossoming. The problem is, Manning’s development is behind what we all expected. Well behind. ** I’ve seen some comments about moving on to Matthew Caldwell at QB. I’ll agree that Caldwell might be a better immediate option if Manning continues to stumble. But I also want to be clear in this overall assessment: Texas isn’t going to win an SEC title if Caldwell has to start 6 conference games for the Longhorns. The Texas OL isn’t good enough for that, the other pieces of the offense aren’t either. It’s a reminder to us all that it’s not just the QB who is having issues on offense currently. While so much national focus is on Arch, the offense as a whole has not played well to date.
  22. Nice. "An evil and adulterous generation" we, too, are. Turtles all the way down.
  23. Pudge's spiritual successor
  24. I must admit, his over the top and constant douchebaggery aside, he's got a really good story being a walkon and persevering in the NFL and blowing up. And his Dad screwing him makes me feel bad for the guy. My son pulled a McConaughey from 'Time to Kill' on me. "Dad, what if he was a Longhorn? You'd like his swagger and toughness then wouldn't you?" Damnit. I also tried really hard to dislike him. Then I read about him helping the food insecure in Ohio and making sure kids had enough to eat.
