Yea, most likely. Typically your options for getting out in order from best to worst are:

selling yourself

selling normally with a realtor

selling “as-is”/short sale normally with a realtor

burning the house down

these wholesale guys

foreclosure

though if the house is in decent shape the foreclosure can be better given the current state of the market.

I haven’t, but if you’re looking for the name, they’re called “wholesalers”. Typically they get houses that won’t sell on the market normally because they require too many fixes and aren’t safe to live in. They’re then sold to flippers.

Note, you don’t actually sell to wholesalers, you sign a contract with them to sell to the holder of the contract for the agreed upon price. Then the wholesaler sells the contract to the flipper for a flat fee.

2nd note, a lot of people think they’ll get cash once the contract is signed, that’s not the case as the wholesaler has to sell the contract. This can be adventageous if the owner is facing foreclosure. Typically you can get more money from a wholesaler/flipper, than if your house goes into foreclosure. Because the wholesaler usually has a list of flippers on the books and a sale is often just a call away.

I wonder if this has anything to do with them clawing back WiFi7 spectrum for resale.

Roommates with benefits?

Yep!

It’s surprising how freeing it is to not consult anyone about anything.

Thought process is: Whelp, I’m bored of this video game. I’m going to head to the gym quick before study group.

Trying to do the same thing living with parents: You try to go to the gym. "Hey, where you headed? Gym. At this hour? Don’t you have a thing soon? Yea, I’ll be quick. You sure? What if someone shows up early? It’ll be fine mom. Ok ok, you’re an adult, I get it. Drive safe.

It’s not that they stoped me from doing anything I wanted to, but removing that minor inconvenience of haveing to know where you are, double check your reasoning, confim schedules. It’s a hidden emotional drain. A lot of times you are so used to it you don’t even know it’s there. Until it’s gone.

Want to go grab a massive borrito at 11pm? Fuck it, go. Want to try a food that you didn’t like as a kid without the peanut gallery chiming in with stories? Do it, nobody around to lovingly tease you.

It can be a little lonely at times, but oh man is it worth it. I’ve found myself at midnight, hiking in a canyon, by myself, enjoying the moment. The sort of stuff that will never happen living with parents.

It’s easier to just not do those spontaneous things with the criticism. But remove that, and you start learning more about what you like and who you are.

Yea, someone else mentioned my drum might be dying, which could explain it.

Agreed, i’m not expecting good. But I’ve had pictures come out that look like an inkjet with the worst case of dirty print head you’ve ever seen.

Yep, tried that. Made no difference. Tried linux and windows in case it was a drivers thing. No difference. Though on linux if I use a generic driver instead of the model specific one it’s marginally better and will win against the aforementioned toddler. If it took another similar jump in quality it would be in the realm of what I’d expect to come out of a laser printer for a photo. My google results only showed people complaining on brother’s forum and they responded with “use genuine brother toner”. And someone replied saying that fixed it for them.

My brother color laser is decent, but the toner is expensive. So expensive that i buy knockoff toner. Which 95% of the time is solid. Until every once in a while a kid needs something printed that’s a photo. Not sure why, but it is absolute garbage at photos. Like not even close. Streaks and bands of color everywhere. I’m not even trying fancy photo paper, just trying to get details. A caffeinated adhd toddler with fistful of crayons could do better.

But if you want to print a worksheet in color? Does fantastic.

Advantage being you only have to buy one toner cartridge and drum.

Does that prevent Windows just ninja installing it in a random update?

Windows 12 could be released as early as this year and will be a modular OS, meaning users will have the option to add or remove features, aiming to provide more flexibility.

Does this mean I can remove the AI? /s

True. One thing that helps is I hate delivery apps. I only use them when work gives out gift cards. The food is always cold and garbage when I finally get it. And not using those helps save money a lot too.

Nah, we tend to either stay home or when we go out to do things on the weekends they’re quick errands and we’re right back home.

On Saturdays for lunch we let the kids pick. Me and my wife work from home, on Tuesdays she gets to pick where we go for our lunch date and Thursdays I get to pick.

The wife likes to pick sushi, panera, taco bell, and a good local burger joint.

I like to pick Qdoba, Firehouse, Burger King, local Indian place, chick-fil-a, and random new places around town.

Going out to eat. I try to limit myself to 3 times a week.

Looks awesome, but if you’re looking for a daily driver to script on be aware that the screen is 12.5in. That’s the only drawback I see with it.

I’m not saying you should trust every VPN provider. Some have shown to be nore trustworthy than others. Police have raided their datacenrers and not gotten anything (no logs). And they have gone to courts and said they don’t keep that info. However if you don’t trust your ISP, and purely use a VPN, the only info your ISP will get is that you use a VPN. Your encrypted bank packet that they saw before is now an encrypted vpn packet. The vpn will see the encrypted bank packet, but youmre right, you have to trust that they have more to gain by not looking and selling than they gain by selling your info and losing customers.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure this just encrypts your dns requests. After DNS resolution, the traffic packet headers still have destination/source ip addresses and they can reverse dns lookup the ip addresses. Might make it require a few extra steps, but they’re the ones routing the traffic. Even your VPN traffic, they can’t decrypt what’s inside the packets, but they can see your traffic going to a known Mullvad vpn address in Norway or whatever.
