It's always a good time to buy if you are confident that you will live there for 3-5 years. Even pre 2008 crash, homes recovered in about 5 years.

The important part is avoiding becoming house poor. The payment you can qualify for and the payment you can afford are very different. There's plenty of online calculators that can show you what a payment would look like. In many states taxes can increase dramatically after the first year, so be prepared to pay more in the future. For a down payment, 20% is ideal but often unrealistic for a first time buyer. More is better, but don't clean out your entire account. You can put as little as 3% down, but that's a good sign you can't afford it if anything goes wrong

This was a massive failure of the media to not even attempt to hold a president accountable for lack of presence. If anyone needed more proof the fourth estate is dead, they got it.

Approximately 90% of not liable for X signs have no legal basis. It's purely a deterrent.

Nuclear could take over existing coal plants which would allow use of otherwise unusable land that's been polluted by coal. It would require regulatory changes though, as the coal plant is already irradiated beyond allowed levels for nuclear.

If you put all the bad things in one bag they have a chance. Spread that over 100 people and it probably all gets through.

It's also just math working. The older millennials should be millionaires or close to it in order to be on track for retirement. A 401k is going to make people look wealthier than a pension.

Orks have the best theming and get a lot of love in games.

I like the idea of Tau, join us for the greater good or die for it. Also it's basically Gundam suits.

Star wars is in a very bad place. The controversial release of TLJ and the flip of Solo, caused a bit of concern. After the release of ROS, that became panic and Disney slammed the brakes on movies. They also distanced anything new from their trilogy. The pivot to streaming releases was an attempt to repair the franchise with. Outside Mandalorian, the series were intended to be movies, and most of them were a bad 90 minute movie stretched to a bad 4 hour show.

Some of the shows are cohesive, but there's several groups. Bad batch follows the clone wars animated series. Rebels leads into Ashoka. Andor leads to Rogue One. Boba Fett is a partial season of Mandalorian, which is the closest thing to the Disney trilogy. Obi wan and Acolyte should be forgotten.

If you have clear nail polish that would probably work. Otherwise I'd buy a clear acrylic spray paint, probably glossy finish, but any would work.

Blockchain is a solution in search of a problem. A way to establish trust while not trusting any party is a cool concept, but in the real world it's far easier to establish a source of trust.

With Tyrek Hill being detained less than 4 months after the arrest of Scottie Scheffler, have the police actually angered enough people with money and power that there could be actual consequences?

A woman willing to punch her husband for saying no, is probably better off not going to Dubai anyway.

One time someone showed up to work that was clearly different than the person from the interview. They never even got their badge.
