  1. You should always have your credit file locked with the three credit bureaus. And you have to do so directly, but the National Public Data breach has likely already distributed your SSN and PII to the dark web. Our distrust of these bureaus was justified with the Equifax breach of 2017, and the lack of our inept Congress to enact harsher penalties or any form of Federal Data Privacy legislation. Since Congress willfully allows the private sector to market our data for-profilt, I also suggest maintaining the top-level feature set of Optery or DeleteMe, to let their automation keep your E-mail, phone number, and mailing address out of these databrokers. The least-expensive and hands-off service is EasyOptOuts, as a $20 annual subscription.
  2. "Dark Gothic MAGA" by Blonde Politics? Yeah, I just watched that. It's a bit much to process and nothing that I can anticipate will be implemented in Trump's lifespan, but if the vision of these Tech Libertarians comes to light, the retard-right and the moderate-right will realize MAGA is a lie. There aren't enough racist-rights yet to make a shit.

  4. https://www.wsj.com/economy/housing/housing-market-delisting-home-sales-1afd45aa?st=xKsafn&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink Nationwide averages are now at 5-months of supply and everyone who delisted during the winter months will try to test the market again in the spring. Additional inventory is the only mechanism on the horizon to push pricing while rates remain high. Buyers will continue to sit on the sidelines with high rates and a weak labor market.
  5. Everyone (who's not a cash buyer) seems fucked for the rest of the year. I'm still on the fence over building vs buying and want to see if we get a glut of inventory in the spring to influence price action.
  6. From the VZ interview article I posted above, the real concern is any sort of negotiated ceasefire will eventually lead to more sham elections for Putin to install his puppets: https://www.economist.com/europe/2025/02/12/transcript-an-interview-with-volodymyr-zelensky
  7. Zelenskyy knows how the options play out and that any "talks" Trump hosts will go nowhere. He's hosting these conversations in attempt to accomplish a campaign statement and doesn't care about supporting Europe. https://www.economist.com/europe/2025/02/12/transcript-an-interview-with-volodymyr-zelensky
  8. I want to do that stuff but feel like the tracks are too far away to beat up my own car. BTW, is that your G87 or the instructor's? I'm gonna post some some relevent BMW content later.
  9. "Daft Punk is playing at my house, my house" "You got to set them up" (repeat 30x) Fuck that song. 'Home' is kinda cool tho.
  10. I'll be at that Red Rocks show also. Thursday night; I almost forgot he has two days at the venue. April 23: Rufus du Sol in Dallas April 24: Fontaines D.C. in Dallas May 11: Beach House at The Factory in StL May 14: Toro y Moi & Panda Bear at HoB Dallas May 29: Lord Huron at Red Rocks
  11. I've got your backup. 6 x 16TB spindles in action hosting a library that's mostly sourced in HEVC. With football season coming to an end and hockey on a free streaming app, I'm not sure why I have a TV subscription now.
  12. Meta would still monetize that by datamining your wearing experience and geolocation. At least I'm getting old enough to [happily] realize I'm not the market for those wearables, nor the 'metaverse.' Touch grass, nerds.
  13. Possibly related to this:
  14. While the DOJ's slow grind is working on RealPage and six multi-state landlords, Ken Paxton is pursuing Allstate and Arity, a databroker incubated under Allstate, to collect, model, and resell driving data of Americans, collecting "trillions of miles" on consumers and often reselling those data profiles to other insurers. It's widely understood that the largest insurers push their on-board telematics trackers as a means for discounting raising premiums based on "safe driving habits," but in this case, Arity was buying telematics data from third-party apps installed on consumers' smartphones and vehicles. Known apps which Arity buys data from includes Fuel Rewards, Life360, GasBuddy, MyRadar, Routely, and some SiriusXM devices. Allstate also bought this data directly from automakers, including Stellantis, Toyota, Lexus, and Mazda. https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/report-finds-apps-are-selling-your-driving-data-to-insurance-companies.html
  15. Sounds like I should pick your brain over the few neighborhoods I've been targeting in FoCo. I thought Portugal's visa system was among the easiest to get into the EU, but are Spain's or Italy's improving beyond their 'digital nomad' programs?
  16. This play completely changed the outcome of the game, had it been called correctly.
  17. I saw a mock draft grid today that placed DJ Ukulele at the top QB draft pick. I guess he has a chance.
  18. Now I can see him portaling for 2025. Who's giving him $4MM, Oregon?
  19. Put down the crack pipe. They've been buying transfer portal starters while we've been beating them at the last two classes.
  20. We got beat on a third down stop on a blatant missed hold that would have flipped possession when tied in the 4th
  21. It's not worth giving up a TD but he's smelling blood with the pressure on Howard. It's as if PK wanted to give the ball back with time on the clock.
