Yes sir, correct. I'm thinking if someone didn't get butthurt and reported again, Trips wouldn't have come by, and the thread could have been still open.

On a side note, I did have a question about the motor oil aisle for Home Depot. While I'm glad to have found the oil I was looking for, an indicator that's got me somewhat spooked is the amount of white dust collected on the bottle. I looked at all the other oil bottles and they all had this dust layer. I checked the code on the bottle and it read something to the effects of "Y22356", which I'm assuming it was manufactured in 2022. Does Home Depot do any quality checks on pulling products from shelves after a certain period of sitting there? Guess I'm just somewhat concerned about possible stale oil.

Weird that the 3.6L takes 5 qts, but the 3.0L takes 9 lol

How about this. I will change your oil and wash it if you help me with the CSC/CMC :tup: I'll even throw in a lifetime supply of ice cream.

"Why isn’t the housing market behaving the way it’s supposed to?"

"Why did mortgage rates stop responding to Fed hikes?"

As I always have said, take the media with a grain of salt. Yet another article that will confuse and possibly mislead potential home buyers.

The Federal Reserve rate hikes DO NOT directly affect mortgage rates. When the Feds raise rates, this is mostly affects personal loans, credit cards, auto loan rates, etc. There are several factors that affect mortgage rates, and while the Federal Reserve rate hikes may INDIRECTLY affect mortgage rates, the biggest driver of mortgage rates is inflation. As inflation goes up, so does mortgage rates and vice versa.

Simple economics of supply/demand. While mortgages rates going up should theoretically drive pricing down, this simply is NOT happening because of the lack of supply. Ever since the housing crash in the late 2000's, alot of homebuilders have gone defunct and those that were fortunate enough to survive have built cautiously and nowhere enough to meet the demands of today (15 years of underbuilding, while households have grown since and with Millennials/Gen Z reaching the age of homeownership).

You will also hear the media say prices are starting to cool down, BUT keep in mind on the home prices before/during/after COVID. When rates dropped during COVID, home prices AND values skyrocketed. So while prices may have come down, they are still above what they were pre-COVID.

For those that are looking to buying a home, make sure you shop around lenders and really test your Loan Originator by asking them questions to ensure they know what the h3ll they are doing and what they are talking about.

Just passing through...

LMAO at the tag about my mom. Gee, I wonder who put that.

I'm gonna go wait for the ice cream truck to come by.

Some stuff will stay on the selves until it's sold, or there is a recall on it, or a change in vendors. The one day, I had to throw away over $9K in plumbing tools because we switched brands.

ahhhh sh1t, the co-main event.. brandon moreno vs alexandre pantoja :excited::excited::excited::excited:

Diesels always take more oil than a gasser.

"No jackpot winners after Saturday’s Powerball drawing, prize jumps to an estimated $650 million."

I'm gonna win this sumb!tch

No chance to liquidate it, and just goes straight into the dumpster? :eek:

I remember when Home Depot was the exclusive retailer for Craftsman outside of Sears, and then a few years ago, Lowe's started selling them.

"With home improvement projects down, it’s Ikea’s moment."

How Ikea is still in business, and why anyone would buy their crap, is beyond me. Most of their sh!t is literally hardened cardboard and garbage quality.

"This week’s record-breaking global temperatures are likely highest in ‘at least 100,000 years’"

Didn't realize we had any records (or access to) of temps from 100K years ago

It would only be 1/4 of that total if someone learned to stop posting every 2 seconds. It was 100% closed because of the reporting though.

How did he run 3 cards? You would think they wouldn’t have a reader if they didn’t take Credit cards. ;)

Maybe because a clown here posts 5 consecutive one word posts?
