We're also #1 in per capita health care spending, and it's #1 by a lot -- literally twice as much as any other country. This goes fantastically well with that "worst in the developed world in healthcare outcomes" bit.
I was in an online meeting years ago when a formation of F-16s flew over my house at 500 feet. Ain't no cancelling that noise. That was a good day.
I think I used it to manage my parents' computers remotely so I could fix shit for them during their winters in Florida. Maybe I'm thinking of something else, though.
I also liked Skype, even though I spent five years of my career writing Skype clones that absolutely nobody used.
Leaving aside the issue of credit rating and focusing just on the cost of home ownership, a house costs a lot more than just the mortgage payment. I bought my house for $142K and it had previously been renting for $1300 a month. My property taxes plus homeowner's insurance alone come to $400 a month, so if I had a $900 per month mortgage I'd be at $1300 a month minimum, before considering the cost of maintenance and repairs and upgrades and whatnot.
Nuts in the wind, all we are is nuts in the wind.
Doesn't he know the guy's gone back to calling himself Gordon Sumner?
"Who's your favorite band?"
"Imagine Dragons."
"What is an imagine dragon?"
"Imagine dragon deez nuts across your motherfuckin' chin."
Lol I meant 35 years ... starting at age 21.
I bought my house recently from a guy who had been renting it out for the last 40 years. He painted everything before putting it on the market but I didn't like the color. When I started the prep work for repainting, everything he put up peeled off like shelf paper. I was denouncing him as a total moron until the paint I put up did the same thing. In one room I even painted the walls and when I came back the next morning the paint had all flowed down to the floor and ruined the carpet.
Turns out the last tenant was a smoker and the walls were coated with nicotine. Had to wipe the whole house down with mineral spirits to get paint to stick.
Yeah, it's bullshit. A real American would have said "First month's rent. Last month's rent. Security deposit."
Best I can do is the drunk doctor at urgent care.
