Interesting commentary on the bridge here. Pretty wild stuff, did they find anyone that was lost in the water? Is it actually true that the US hasn’t built any major bridges in decades or is that just :fax: stuff? " :fax: " This beauty was built in 2010: https://www.tylin.com/sites/defaul...

1. Positive - got a raise today. 3.5% increase to base salary which works out to about 2.63% to overall OTE.

Congrats man!

I've been really fortunate at my new job in regards to raises.
2022: 5.8%
2023: 9.0%

and
Way to go!

That's hot.

35-50k in todays world is not "expensive" per say since the average transaction price is 48k. :disgust: I keep waiting for the shoe to drop but somehow the average american family making 70k can afford a 48k car and a 470k house and many vacations as AIRBnB is thriving... I just don't get...

They're also super well equipped for what you pay as well. And I know this is only a single, undoubtedly :wrong: data point, but we're 4.5 years into ownershit of our H and it has been 100% flawless so far. Zero repairs needed to date.

I especially like this pic of you:

Good luck with the interview.

The same house today is $3400 or so. Welcome to 2024. Something in the housing market has come completely unhinged. Boomers bought their homes for 3 fruit roll ups and a blue berry.
