  1. I have been dealing with a good deal of anxiety lately. I am on Lexapro (escitalopram) daily, but lately it hasn’t done the trick.

    I have had some good results from CBD oil. Take a couple droppers a day and it definitely has mellowed me out more than I thought it would.

  2. Maybe he could get into home improvement related sales (siding, roofs, screened in porches, etc). I know someone in it and it does seem to pay decently. Don’t think there is too much computer work and you get to be with people face to face. Lots of driving though, usually a large territory to cover.

  3. I carry a 58 and I love using it from 80 and in, including around the green. I always struggled trying to use different clubs for chipping around the green depending on how far I was, so I just close down the club face and let it run more if I need to. Every now and then I’ll use the 54 for chipping as well but predominantly it’s the 58.

  4. I was a combined 5 inches from going eagle, birdie, par to finish at Forest Creek.  Hit my 3rd on a par 5 to 2 inches on 16, hit my birdie putt from 15 feet away to 2 inches on 17, chipped to 1 inch for par on 18. Its a cruel game, this.

  5. It's raining in 78751.
    Also, I have thrown around the idea of going back to school and learning GIS.  Is this a fool's errand?

    Yeah I wouldn’t...money isn’t great unless you’re in actual developer territory, but that is a CS degree anyways

  6. I actually find I am worse on the range than on the course a lot of times.  I think because I am thinking too much on the range.  I lose the natural feel.  Also, going too fast on the range I start to tire, not going through a good pre-shot routine for every shot like on the course.

    I don't think it works like that.  I think you'd have to go with a traditional Oklahoma type "trailer" for that scenario to work, and, although Manufactured Homes are quite nice these days, they do depreciate like a mofo, so buying a new one and figuring on selling it later isn't a good plan.   Now, if you can find a nice used one,  maybe that makes sense. 

    Have you considered keeping  the home as a future rental?  

    Yes we have, but the family isn't overly enthused by this...I am trying to convince them that this wouldn't be so bad if we fenced it off and keep the tenants off the actual property, but it is an uphill battle...

     

  8. So I have some questions around Modular houses...I know, Surly 1%ers are scoffing, but here is the situation.  My wife and I want to move south of Austin to be close to her family (FIL in poor health, we want to start a family and be closer to them).  They live on land in Driftwood, so we had been looking at Dripping Springs, but it has gotten so expensive and competitive in the last 6 months that we have quickly been priced out, and it is even getting that way in a lot of Kyle (outside of the dumpier stuff East of 35).  

    So we have been looking into building at their land.  The only problem is that we can't necessarily commit to living there forever, and as such, we're looking into Modular houses as a solution to allow us to live there but also potentially sell that house off the land at a future time.  Is this even remotely feasible?  This isn't a mobile home we're talking about, just a house built in a warehouse and assembled on site, so I am unsure if removing it and selling it is even an option.  Has anyone heard of this, or is it not really a thing?  

  9. where did this It's costing Egypt $400 million an hour come from? GNP of egypt is a 1.1 trillion, $400 million an hour = $3.5 trillion
    In 2020, the total revenue generated amounted to 5.61 billion USD and 18,829 ships with a total net tonnage of 1.17 billion passed through the canal
    5.61 billion/ (365*24) =  640,000 / hour
    On average 2 ships an hour pass through, are they carrying $200 million in product each?

    I read somewhere (can’t remember where) that it is costing the global economy 400 mill an hour, not Egypt by itself.
