@thmoneycircle I'm going through this right now. If you're just looking for replacement inserts, there are cheap ways to do it

But anyone looking to keep their house for 10+ years should be doing full construction replace and that is a job only an experienced builder/carpenter can do

@gianwirth @signulll At least someone on here has an idea about how MSFT makes its money. Your Teams example is exactly what will happen with Copilot. It's not great right now (and Teams was awful at the beginning), but as more people use it, it improves and it just becomes a part of the toolset

@KelleyKga Sure, and this is a business model that I think could do well, but it doesn't take much effort and anyone can do it

The trick is to figure out how to implement technology into the equation while not being overbearing and keeping privacy at the forefront

@richmacleod Probably found out that it's easier and more lucrative to make podcasts from his basement or country club than travelling with a team for 8-months of the year

I bet he knows baseball but his personality also doesn't seem to be a good fit for MLB. He comes across as a know it all

@disneyglimpses If what you're saying is the full reason, then there are better solutions

Charge for parking and get it validated by any of the shops within Disney Springs.

Maybe $10 per car and require at least a $10 purchase for validation

@KelleyKga Soooo, you want a handyman?

They invented that 1742

@La_SemiYA_dl_VD It's not the steel they're worried about... it's the expansion joints. They can expand so much that it forces the joints to have zero gap and eventually buckle

@StevenACohen2 @01Starblazer @StevenACohen2, did you even look at the picture that the OP posted? Every single person in that picture has a smile on their face or is clapping

If you consider smiling and clapping complaining, then you have to get yourself checked

@Marce__River @kurtsaltrichter ok...

@benz145 For those of you who think I just make stuff up:

[The Frugal Engineer @FinEngineer77]

@benz145 Small-scale Chinese companies are ramping up memory production very quickly (like faster than most thought possible)

They will flood the market with cheap memory and prices will drop like a stone

Think of it as the lab-grown diamond analogy

@AustinsStocks If MSFT starts trading at 10 fPE, then everything will be on sale. Probably better to buy straight into the QQQ

@TheEXECUTlONER_ In slow motion, it looks like the fielder steps on the bag first and then tags the runner (really close but that's what I see)

Once that fielder steps on the base, it takes the force away from the runner and he can possess the bag. And if he is on the bag when tagged, he's safe

[The Frugal Engineer @FinEngineer77]

@TheDrugMoney Better question... at what net worth are you retiring, buying one of these bad boys, and doing your entire neighborhood's lawns?

[The Frugal Engineer @FinEngineer77]

@letuscompound It doesn't get any better than AI writing about how AI is used. We are really in a new world

@jeremyct Nobody on a fixed income should be owning a house. You have to be either employed or heavily invested, otherwise inflation will erode away at any future you thought you had

[The Frugal Engineer @FinEngineer77]

@VladTheInflator Locked-in low rate mortgages and companies are not hiring (no relocation). The post-covid migration has ended

Housing sales should be low right now, but what I can't understand is why you think prices should drop. People still have jobs and can afford their 3% mortgages
