  1. ...and somewhere in that wild scenario, the buyer's agent never shared this conflict with their clients over an opportunity to make up for the lost commssion at closing, but instead remained mum and lost the deal for their client?  Sounds like a bunch of bullshit, but now that this lesson has been learned, the client has enough motivation to tell their agent to fuck off and buy without representation altogether.  In a sellers' market, that seems like the route to me.

    Or maybe this agent is woefully behind the times and realizes they need to :checks bootstraps: and find more sellable inventory while trying a more honest approach with his/her clients on future buyer representation.  

    We're not exactly in an extreme sellers' market anymore; the story above already hints at challenges to find qualified buyers, but at the same time, the number of NEW SFHs for sale has risen to 477,000, the highest level since the 2008 Financial Crisis, so read the tea leaves.

    Yep.  Close to the Star here.  Stonebrook and Teal area.  Tollway sucks a big bag of dicks these days.  Lucky for me what I do have to go to the office, I go the back way through the Colony to get on 121.  

    All that and the DNT is about to start expansion into Prosper and Celina, so the whole southbound commute through Frisco will be permafucked.

    I didn't realize you're so close to me-- I'm in Castle Hills and can't imagine living any further north than you but I'm already worn out of DFW and searching for communities out of the state.

    fence prices have gotten nuts. 2 years ago I paid i believe $25/LF for a good neighbor fence, nothing super fancy other than thick cedar planks

    I'm in Dallas and have been quoted $85/LF for 6" board-on-board red cedar.  Getting fancy with a top cap and all, but I'm looking at $20K to replace a 6' builder's grade cedar fence with a new 8'.

  4. I owned a first-gen CTS-V for a couple years and found it sexy at the time, with its slab-sided creases, subtly flared fender arches, and straight-edged sheetmetal.  At that time, automakers were just starting to depart from the "bubble car" styling and only the much more expensive Germans competed.  It was also fun that the CTS-V was only available in the ZF 6-speed manual.

    To each his own.  Every time I think I want to replace my S6, the only things I would replace it with cost $150k, so I keep it for now.  

    RSQ8 is my replacement for the S6, I'm planning to move to a climate better suited for something slightly more SUV-like.

  6. Settings --> WiFi, then examine your SSIDs.  Do you have multiple SSIDs configured and do they belong to an AP Group?

    Recent versions of UI's Network Manager now has a "Radio Manager" option on the left side, where you allocate AP devices, band segmentation, and AP Groups.  Things have probably shuffled around a bit (if you updated recently) and you'll may need to re-enable to reconfigure the APs.

    Indifferent about Kimmel but always enjoyed watching Rodgers play, didn't Kimmel keep his paying his staff during the Covid? 

    You mean to tell me those PPP loans grants weren't intended for real estate and Porsches?

    tOSU is playing bad football. There is no way this team is better than Texas.

    I'm not lost on the intent of OOC travels to Ann Arbor next year and Columbus in '25.
