To me there was nothing like the old C9 lights on the house in the 70s/80s.
Company out of Utah, Tru-Tone, makes LED C7 and C9 bulbs that achieve that nostalgic warm glow that modern LEDs do not (most of the "warm white" LED bulbs nowadays are still on the cooler side). I bought some this year and they rock. Not cheap though, about 1.50 per bulb.

agree with this take. nobody lost money, louisiana still has one of the best 529 programs in the country (one of the few things this backwards arse state actually has gotten right). Mines staying put

Facebook posting has been edited to simply say they are "insured" NOT "FDIC insured."
They had to do this because people were rightfully calling them out in the comments. The funds held within most 529 plans are mutual funds, and the FDIC does not insure mutual fund holdings.
I’ve used a Whirl on my small (1500 sq ft) front lawn for about 4 years and have no complaints whatsoever. Go for it
Alen air purifiers. The 35i with the smoke filter would be a good fit for this use case.
If you already have a buttload of weeds I would throw this down:
$22 on Amazon and will cover 4k ft2. Same active ingredient as Specticle. Very pricey but easy to spread plus has some post-emergent control

I have a sectional from Joybird (online retailer) which I have been very happy with. One of my concerns about online ordering is you can't tell quality before the piece arrives. This one exceeded my expectations with quality construction and good fabric options.

I'm not trying to become a legal expert in real estate and business law. We will have legal involved at some point but we haven't even made an offer on a property yet ffs. This thread has accomplished the goal - I got great advice from some baws who have personal experience with these types of deals. I'm not the brightest but I think that's kinda the point of starting threads on a message board :dunno:

If you are buddies, the most important thing to do is agree ahead of time on how someone can get out. Spell it out very clearly. Chances are one will need or want out, and it’s much better to have a plan ahead of time if you want to stay buddies.
this is great advice, thank you

I’d probably spend the money to talk to real estate attorney and get professional advice rather than just relying on the money board if I was to be honest.
I get this being the knee jerk advice but I don’t think this is that complicated. You know, if you don’t have input you could just not respond

Me and 2 buddies going in 3 ways on a commercial building with a locked in NNN tenant for the next few years. We will be splitting down payment and expenses/profits equally 3 ways. My initial thought is to buy the property with LLC that each of us own 33.3, but curious if money talk had any ideas.

re: 400K I need to find a home for; paying out 100K in 6 months.

I'm not knocking the fund. Im too retarded to understand what it even does. All I know is if I owed people $100k in 6 months I would not put it into some new microstrategy bitcoin collateralized fund that is supposedly "safe" but pays a 9% div which IMO does not compute. I'm putting that bit into a money market or HYSA and forgetting about it until I write the check.

“This means that the issuer, MSTR, can continue to issue new debt and preferred shares on top of this offering. Additionally, MSTR doesn’t actually have the earnings to cover the dividend payments on STRC,” Miller said. “The assumption is that appreciation on the Bitcoin purchased will be sufficient to provide the cash needed, but this creates long-term risk for investors that the dividends could be cut or suspended if Bitcoin prices fall.”

re: UPS: Falling knife or buying opportunity?
Posted by Sir Saint on 8/5/25 at 10:09 am to Bestbank Tiger
As I long term hold I think it's a falling knife. I just can't envision a world in 10-20 years we still have big gargantuan man-driven trucks putt-putting along every residential street to deliver packages. With self driving imminent and the possibility of drone fleets, I just see UPS being a legacy giant that gets disrupted and replaced with something more advanced.

Report back after the job is done with a review, please. Will be saving that name for a future job if solid work.
round up existing weeds then pre-emergent like Preen to prevent residual weed seed germination
