    Zillow Plunges After Verdict on Real Estate Brokerage Commissions

    Uhh, to my knowledge Uncle Sam doesn't get a penny. Your local county, city, state might - but Uncle Sugar does not. Closing fees, Title company fees are real costs. You will be happy to have paid those when there is claim against your title for something that happened 75 years ago you knew...

    Zillow Plunges After Verdict on Real Estate Brokerage Commissions

    From CNN: What was the case about? The cornerstone of the plaintiff’s argument is that NAR is forcing homesellers to pay an inflated commission that is then split between their agent and the buyer’s agent. The homesellers argued commission sharing as a condition for access to the Multiple...

    Sam Bankman-Fried found guilty on all seven criminal fraud counts

    Psychopath, Sociopath, NPD. They are just different levels of evil. Non-empathetic individuals like them are self-serving. The only difference is how many others they take down with them, and whether they can play the part of "normie" well enough to get by in life. Agree Not true in my case...

    Tried to buy a Mitsubishi Mirage yesterday

    On another note regarding edits, you must be reasonable and not ridiculous in your demands. Know the market, know what you can bear, and know what options you have if this contract (that's right, it's a contract - takes two to make it work) doesn't pan out. Be informed, and make informed choices.

    Tried to buy a Mitsubishi Mirage yesterday

    Not true at all. I've done this for years. If they don't accept my reasonable changes, I get up and walk. Sometimes I get what I am asking for, sometimes I don't. Doesn't matter as it not life or death. If you have never done this, then don't just assume they won't accept it - because most of...

    Tried to buy a Mitsubishi Mirage yesterday

    One car I bought I went through the finance guy. Read the contracts he presented, crossed out the items I did not agree with, initialed them, and handed it back. Guy looked at the edits, looked at me, and signed his spots. I got all the discounts, specials, etc. Whole transaction took about an...

    "Give back car" is being researched a lot!

    This happened after my mother passed away. She had an account with Wachovia that was supposed to be closed per communications with the local branch she dealt with. They didn't follow through and apparently, for whatever reason, the account remained open - even after the money had been withdrawn...

    Steve Jobs relationship with his oldest daughter, sad read

    It seems many of them fit the profile of psychopath, or sociopath. No empathy, use people, and discard them. No different than the way it's always been. A lot of people are "follower's" and are easily led into something - critical thinking skills and non-biased information is the key.

    Why do mower filters have a bigger absolute micron rating?

    So where did you find the bypass pressure psi information? My concern with the 3614 is exactly what repairman54 is bringing up. A low power oil pump pushing through a restrictive automotive filter. Surely the B & S engineers picked a filter media and bypass type for a reason, right?

    Why do mower filters have a bigger absolute micron rating?

    OK, so I’m thinking about a Fram XG 3614. Does that sound viable?

    Tipping at Fast Food Places

    At this point, I believe a lot of these places asking for tips are panhandling. After reading about the lawsuit; the tips being collected and "distributed" to all employees as being an illegal practice - I wonder how many places know that what they are doing is illegal? Or if they even care...

    I Need A Laundry Sink Pump System

    Harbor freight for a sump pump. Since it's laundry water, there shouldn't be "chunks" so a clean water pump should work. https://www.harborfreight.com/plumbing/pumps/sump-pumps/13-hp-submersible-sump-pump-with-vertical-float-3400-gph-57718.html

    Coolant for iron block and head small block chevy

    OK, I see the issue. Signatures do not show unless the box is checked. The box is not checked in my account settings. So, I have no idea when you say that, “in my signature”, what you are referring to.

    Keeping up your guard buying OEM parts at a new car dealership

    The cost of doing business is what keeps accountants in business - every day. One hidden cost most don't think about is some dealerships are "owned" by shareholders. Shareholders demand profits or they pull their investment. Some dealership models have "different" organizations within the...
