I know my Internet isn't the best, but does the picture such for anyone else?

2024 Hurricane Season thread of DOOM
I understand that. Just curious how you decide when to do that and how long you run it...after a couple of flickers, after 30 minutes of it? How do you know when the situation has resolved? I live in the country so I don't really have neighbors to judge the status of things

Generator won't help with that. It's on about a 7 second delay before it starts and about 10 seconds before it starts delivering power. The blips are too fast and would be damaging to the generator to start and stop so much

All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
Buying another property has no bearing on taxes anymore. You are allowed to exclude up to $500,000 if MFJ. That is gain not price as you'd be surprised how many people miss that aspect.

All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
You can agree to whatever could be worked out. However, from my experience, you don't see many, if any, net listings. You really open yourself up to breach of fiduciary duty if the price differential/commission becomes too great. Even though the seller might have agreed to the net price at the outset, that doesn't mean they won't come back and want more money. I would guess that the courts would tend to side with the seller if it made it that far.

Just read where he actually died on April 28th but wasn't known about until a public records search on July 29th.

What are y’all buying for the next grid failure?
Just a note to someone making plans, the output rating on the portable generators are for gas. If you use propane, you have a 10% drop in output and natural gas results in a 20% drop in output. Keep that in mind when sizing a generator and matching it with the fuel input you plan on using.

Home generators Houston
Also, don't forget to consider that the power ratings on the generators are for operation using gas. Propane has a 10% dropoff in output and natural gas has a 20% decrease. Make sure you plan ahead for the actual output for the fuel you are using.

Probably an oil level issue. It does tend to burn some oil when it's running long term

I think there are a few Quik Trips in the Houston area, but I don't know if they are any closer

I've heard (but not verified) that Farm Bureau bumps it to 3% after a certain valuation is reached and it's not that high...something like $700K. Full disclosure, this is from my uncle that is with the local Farm Bureau but takes 30 minutes to give a 2 minute answer. I might have been zoned out.

We got any Bowlers up in here?
Not dead yet. Lease renewed until December 2025. They want to put the whole shopping center together into a project and they have run into issues with leases that were previously renewed. Supposedly

The Dallas Stars 2024 Playoffs Thread
Grushnikov was paired with Petrovic as the top defensive line for the Texas Stars for 2/3 of the year. He was traded to the Calgary organization as part of the Tanev trade. Decent on defense, but Dallas seems to have gotten the best of the trade so far.

ERCOT Urging For Energy Conservation
At the same time, unbelievable amounts of water are being just flat wasted by lack of system maintenance. It's estimated that the City of Austin lost 6.9 BILLION gallons (roughly 21,175 acre feet) of potable water to leaks in 2022. I'm sure that number is increasing year over year as the system ages. Found a source from the LCRA that City of Austin and Austin Energy water pumped from the Colorado River plus other water rights was 185,548 acre feet in 2022. If those numbers are close, you are looking at over 10% loss. I freely admit that I really don't know shit about fuck except I know Austin loses a lot to leaks. I'm sure it's the same for cities everywhere and I understand that you'll never be leak-free, but at some point, this issue has to be addressed. I think very few people know/care about the extent of waste from this area alone.

I think he and Ed Clements are pretty funny in their interactions and the way they rag on each other, but I can see where that will get old
