  1. A 30 year would potentially have less risk though? If you lose your job or have to take a pay cut, it will be easier to absorb the blow from a lower monthly payment compared to the higher minimum payment on a 15 year.
  2. I'm at 2.99%. I was recently offered a lower rate from my lender, but the closing costs would mean I wouldn't recoup until at least 2 years from the time I refinance. Since we don't know if we will be in this particular home in 2 years, we are not sure if it was really worth doing it.
  3. I don't bother deleting my work emails, as the org auto deletes all emails after 18 months. Instead, I just mark all as read if I don't want to bother opening and reading a group of emails.
  4. A trillion dollar coin would make a great plot device for a heist movie. National Treasure 3?
  5. Donald Trump really needs some cash to pay his lenders it looks like.
  6. "I refuse to put that vaccine in my body! Who even knows what is in it?" "Give me 100ccs of that Regeneron shit! If it's good enough for President Trump, it's good enough for me!"
  7. FUCK the Space Force royally. They can continue to get fucked until they change to Naval ranks. We cannot have space armadas until they are commanded by Captains and have oversight by Admirals!
  8. I will link to the hermancainaward subreddit on Facebook threads at times, when people claim the virus is fake, or overblown, or that vaccines are more dangerous than the virus. I hope that at least one person in those threads clicks the link, reads the horror stories on that subreddit, and changes their minds. There have been a few success stories posted on the HCA, where the subreddit legitimately got people to take the virus seriously and get vaccinated.
  9. Netflix and Time have exclusive access to this mission. I'm sure they either donated a whole bunch of money to St Jude to do so, or they helped cover some of the costs of the launch.
  10. Westinghouse or G&E will likely build the reactors for Australia - both of them currently build them for US subs and aircraft carriers. I'd assume that the sub crews will receive training in the US at least initially.
  11. Good for Australia. Nuclear powered subs are probably a better option than diesel electric, considering the country's vast maritime boundaries and long distances to China. The more they can stay submerged during a potential conflict, the less likely they will be detected by the enemy.
  12. I'm a stickler for double negatives, so whenever my wife's subconscious southerness comes out, I can't help but correct her.
  13. Tonight at 8 pm Eastern, a Falcon 9 rocket carrying 4 passengers will lift off from Florida for a 3 day trip to low earth orbit. This is a significant mission as it is the first, 100% private human launch to orbit in history. It's being paid for by a fairly unknown billionaire, Jared Isaacman. He and his 3 crew members will orbit above the Earth at 575 km for approximately 3 days, conducting experiments and capturing documentary videos and photos that will be used for a Netflix special. It's also a fundraiser for Saint Jude's hospital. Isaacman hopes to raise $200 million that will be given to the hospital, and he has personally pledged $100 million toward that goal. Should be pretty cool. SpaceX has indicated that there will be more private missions like this in the future, and may be able to support 6 to 8 private flights per year, in addition to the 2 NASA flights to the Space Station every year. SpaceX's all-civilian Inspiration4 orbital mission launches today! Here's what to expect. | Space WWW.SPACE.COM SpaceX will launch its first all-civilian crew on a three-day journey around the Earth and you can watch the action live online.
  14. The minute that the CJCS or any other 4-Star tells anyone in Congress that the President cannot be trusted, they will fired, and replaced with an officer who has full confidence in the President.
