1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Is it a moral dilemma?

does it fall into "fuck you pay me" to want the most possible?

 

I was actually outbid on this home but I wrote a letter to the seller explaining that I worked nearby, the yard and nearby park were great for my dog, and that the garage was a great place to work on my truck.

She chose my offer over a higher one (I think it was 10-12k ish) because of the letter.

 

I'm probably cynical (that's a lie, I am cynical), I would just imagine that most people esp right now would take that money and run over offering the home to someone who put in a lesser offer but had a family that really needed it.

It is cool to hear about though, gives me a little boost of faith in humanity

 

I am proud to say that all of those things rang true and this has been a great place for me. Between career and personal growth it just isn't a great fit anymore.

 

still need to figure out where the fuck I'm gonna go with the dogs Fri/Sat and possibly Sunday while they are showing the house. My buddy is out of town

 

The reverse incentive program to get people to buy EVs has gotten really intense out there. Too bad the trade-off is blackouts

 

I've wondered about that...if everyone buys EVs how are they going to charge them when we're being told not to even run our ACs before 9pm on super hot days because energy levels are so low, lol. Won't the energy situation become even more dire then

 

My neighbor’s house sold the other week for $300,000 over asking. It was listed for $1.8 Million, and sold the next day for $2.1 Million.

 

And they're just like

 

Don't even get me started.... (I'm an electric utility consultant)

 

imagine having an extra 300k play money

 

That's like...30 tacomas...

 

Damn, when you put it like that I feel pretty fuckin poor lol.

 

I only need one Tacoma

one to wheel
one to daily
one to race
one for parts runs
one for camping
one just cause
one for spares

 

They’re both tenured software engineers at some big tech company, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re making $200k each a year.

 

I don't think I've slept more than 4ish hours a night the past week. Between all stuff I've done in that time awake i swear it feels like it aught to be friday

 

It's ok, capital gains taxes will bring it down to 25 tacomas

 

at big tech? that's low tbh. Last I heard from acquaintances facebook/google devs were starting at 150-180k out of college. with 5+ years they should be in the 250-280 range LOL

 

Hell, probably more then and stock options on top of salary.

Take one guess at what kind of car they drive
