  • They’re reputable local credit unions, not predatory lenders, and 30k is more than a 5% down payment, even after closing costs.

    I suppose the unknown here is income, as in my current position making 100kUSD/yr, I’d have absolutely no problem making payments on a 20 year or even a 15 year loan, even if I do end up with a house near the top of my budget, which I’d rather stay well under of course. That said, A $150k house seems like it’d be no problem for that commenter based on their savings making up a >20% down payment.




  • At my job I’m so fucking tired of being told how to do my job with more AI. I use AI as I see fit to help with development, end of story. The manager of manual QA was told to use AI more, so what he figured out is that now we’re going to have manual testers generating code that we’ll have to look over I guess. Fun. Productive. Great.












  • I’m pretty sure Biden did the fuel prices, that’s what the sticker on the pump said at least.

    -His truck driving supporters, probably.

    I’m a gearhead so my vehicles aren’t all efficient, and I just see higher fuel prices as the cost of my hobby going up, which isn’t good, but being a gearhead was already expensive. I’m sure these guys in oversized trucks feel feel similar.

    That said, I also like cycling, have an electric skateboard, and use public transit when it makes sense, and I work from home, so the fuel prices don’t really affect me as much as some. Now, if I had a 120 mile round-trip commute I’d kms get an EV or plugin hybrid or ride my motorcycle, only driving my fun cars on occasion.
