Formerly DT: COVID-19 - Featuring Lots of Politics, now CR because political talk not going away
About a month ago, a family member that is a chef gave me a huge 750mL flask of one month fermented Carolina reaper hot sauce. They occasionally did crazy stuff like that at the restaurant. You only need a couple of drops in anything. And you take coronavirus type precautions around it (wash hands after handling, DON'T touch your face, etc.). It has been a lifesaver.

All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
Sorry to hear that man. Yeah it's tough. We loved the new house, neighborhood, schools, etc. It was considerably bigger than our current place, so would've been better to hunker down in with two toddlers while working from home for the next few weeks. But we were worried about being stuck with two mortgages in this climate where even relatively safe jobs are seeing pay cuts. I hope that we have flattened this curve enough by the summer to have more certainly about things. At that point, assuming our financial situation is similar to what it is now, we'll start house hunting again.

All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
We walked away from a 3.125% 30 year fixed on a new house a few days ago because we were worried our current house wouldn't sell with the new economic reality that was setting in. Still interested in refi on current house, but not sure rates will make sense to for a while...our current mortgage is a 3.625% 30 year fixed (got in Fall 2013).

Yeah mine are still day care age (2 and 4) so a little bit different. The day care doesn't actually close for spring break. But I am keeping them home today and by the end of the day may decide to just do that for the next few days/weeks. Wife and I are lucky enough to have flexibility to work from home most days. I haven't figured out how it's going to work yet.

Thanks. I have the insurrection report from when we could l bought our current house a few years ago, and it's the same inspector. I have just been looking for a checklist of things I should look at while he goes into the attic, climbs on the roof, etc. Not because I think he'll miss something, but more because it'll give me the feeling of having vetted the house myself too.

Maybe this is a sequel. She is Cusack's and Bonet's kid.

Yes but can she Marvin Gaye

zoe kravitz is playing rob; high fidelity on hulu
Not sure yet if I like this idea or not. The original was a rare movie-better-than-the-book situation, it will be tough to measure up. But I suppose Kravitz could make it work with her rock and roll+acting bona fides. I'll miss Jack Black though.

Texans @ Chiefs: AFC Divisional Round
Yeah but unlike regular season byes, they only had a week to prepare after knowing who the opponent was going to be. So the stat shouldn't be quite as relevant. I hope.

This game is going to be an competition between Deshaun's Superman and BOB's total suckage as a coach compared to Reid.

2019 Houston Texans
Classic case of head vs heart for me. Head: without Fuller, safety rotations can be delayed, making Deshaun hang on to the ball too long against zone defenses. We doomed. Heart: Deshaun is the MJ of football. JJ gonna give us one more epic run before his body quits.
