ericbomb OP , to cats in My 3 year old cat wakes me up in the middle of the night ever since my 16 year old cat passed away.

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that as well :( those old cats who love you with all their heart are just so amazing. He would happily sit on my lap all day and whenever I sleep he would come up and rub his face against me and then sleep on my chest.

Like I keep thinking I want another cat... but I don't want another cat. I want MY cat back who I had for 16 years!

But now I gotta take care of my little 3 year old boy and figure out how to keep him happy!

ericbomb , to Fuck Cars in WOKE transit vs PATRIOT transit

Bikes are the rides of libertarians.

No license

No registration

No taxes through gas

Just hard work and freedom!

For health reasons I'm iffy on getting a pedal bike, because if I suddenly realize I can't keep going with my scooter, I can easily get an uber and throw it in the back. Just harder with a bike.

I didn't see any way to easily replace the battery, wish I had bought one that had replaceable batteries. If there is a resource for it I would love to know, no luck far.

Alas, I am a 130 pound adult male because of health reasons.

Some days I could use a bike, other days I can't. I have been debating getting a cheap bike when I can afford it so on days I feel up to I can, but then I might get left in a lurch where I leave feeling up to biking, then get stuck because I can't get back.

Part of why I like scooter instead of ebike. I can fold up little scooters and throw them in the back of an uber super easily if I suddenly find myself unable to keep going.

Ahh alas, I am a 130 pound adult male for reasons that aren't fantastic.

I have debated getting a bike for the days I feel up to it, I just know that many days I wouldn't be up to it so I need something for those days.

ericbomb OP , to You Should Know in YSK: Supercook is an amazing app for those with diet restrictions (or anyone)

I mean... it's just a specialized search engine so I'm not aware of why they would. But scraping a website and determining ingredients then sticking them in an array seems like a pretty straight forward task.

ericbomb OP , to No Stupid Questions in 4ish years ago when I bought a house I was convinced not to get a house inspection, would it be crazy to get one now just to make sure it's all good?

My realtor :(

I was 25 and very overwhelmed by it all.

I love my house, it seems perfect still several years later and I've only had to do some minor repairs.

But I'll get one to make sure no dangers are lurking where me and my handy man can't see!

ericbomb OP , to No Stupid Questions in 4ish years ago when I bought a house I was convinced not to get a house inspection, would it be crazy to get one now just to make sure it's all good?

I mean 30 year old me recognizes that was a super weird thing to say.

25 year old me felt super over his head anyway.

But I'm getting an inspector! Don't you fret!

ericbomb OP , to No Stupid Questions in 4ish years ago when I bought a house I was convinced not to get a house inspection, would it be crazy to get one now just to make sure it's all good?

The land it's on is "currently" more expensive than what I paid for it 5 years ago. Just recently got an appraisal done.

If I tried to buy this house now with my income the bank would laugh at me.

Sorry to anyone who didn't buy a house pre - covid :(

ericbomb OP , to No Stupid Questions in 4ish years ago when I bought a house I was convinced not to get a house inspection, would it be crazy to get one now just to make sure it's all good?

The housing market was silly for awhile. Lots of homes basically had a clause of "If inspection done, no sale"

ericbomb OP , to No Stupid Questions in 4ish years ago when I bought a house I was convinced not to get a house inspection, would it be crazy to get one now just to make sure it's all good?

Well even the land itself is worth more than I paid, and 5 years of no problems is a great start. But will find a good inspector and see if I really did get that lucky!

Thank you! I wish I could give advice that was relevant to the current time . If I was 24 and didn't own a home I'd probably be having to do math on buying a 100k home in a super cheap area in a different state. But that would come with other hidden costs like having to own a car, not having access to good medical care, possibly higher crime rate, if I didn't have a WFH job then finding a job will most likely be a pay cut and if I lost my WFH job I'd have to most likely take a lower paying job, then of course if I wanted to see my family ever I'd have to budget in that....

Ugh. IDK man, I feel awful for people just 5 years younger than me.
