All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
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.

All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
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.

Русский корабль - иди нахуй
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

Русский корабль - иди нахуй
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

The New Car Fanatic Thread
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.

Trump’s America
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.

Things not going well for Facebook
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.

Yet another Texas-based databroker in your pockets-- this one for driving telematics
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

Where Should I Retire...?
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?

This play completely changed the outcome of the game, had it been called correctly.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
I saw a mock draft grid today that placed DJ Ukulele at the top QB draft pick. I guess he has a chance.

Now I can see him portaling for 2025. Who's giving him $4MM, Oregon?
