Every network manufacturer has had some CVE for something.

Good thing what I actually said was

Paying anything you can up front saves you several times over in the long run.

My point was that the advice was terrible. Not that there are other circumstances that could make it useful. Overall, as a general rule you shouldn’t want to just hold onto debt for no reason if you have means to pay it down. It’s also why I specifically showed 10% as well rather than just the typical 20% downpayment, it furthers my point that

you’re so much better off if you put as much into the down payment as you can.

“As much […] as you can” And not just some 20% or whatever magic number.

For it to be ironic, there would have to be some sense of Texans doing it to themselves. People coming in from another state is not a Texan’s fault. I don’t see the “irony” here.

This is terrible advice. Paying anything you can up front saves you several times over in the long run.

Let’s talk 500k house, 6%, 30 years, no pmi, no taxes, no extras…
Paying 100k (20%) up front you’ll pay: $863,352.76
Paying 50k (10%) up front you’ll pay: $971,271.85
Paying 0 up front you’ll pay: $1,079,190.95

Paying 20% down (100k) will save you over 200k.

If you intend to live in the house indefinitely, you’re so much better off if you put as much into the down payment as you can.

Edit: List formatting

but that it’s ironic that they didn’t think through the consequences

And what part of that consequence is the native Texan’s fault? If anything it simply proves their point.

Why are you attributing some emotion to text? Why is it that you can’t answer something in context and instead just need to inflame some anti-cop nonsense when you know damn well the answer is basically “that’s not happening, except in very very rare cases”?

I’m not mad, I don’t give a shit. I’m just tired of seeing obvious nonsense. Claiming that you can’t call 911 cause cops will be a cause of that is literally nonsense. That is the insinuation and you’re furthering it.

I know you know how threads work. There is context before that post. You should read it.

It means police officers [and I don’t know why I have to say this, but not 100% of all police officers] quite possibly could sit at polling places and harass people.

Cool since you admit it’s not 100%… Then call 911. My original statement doesn’t change. The Officers who aren’t part of the 0.01% that’s a problem can deal with it. Calling an 800 number will not change anything.

Edit: Maybe now with that curt response you can see how your statement could only be taken in such a way and why I responded why I did.

The FBI estimates that between 2,000 and 2,500 people entered the Capitol Building during the attack, some of whom participated in vandalism and looting, including in the offices of then-House speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Congress members.

So you think there’s only 2000 police officers in the USA? That 100% of them are at polling places harassing people and have a coverage of all polling places in America?

The fuck looney world are you all going on about? Your own source says

Nearly 30 sworn police officers from a dozen departments

Okay so at worst that’s 30 polling places. And somehow this is something to bring up like it’s going to be a statistical probability. This constant ACAB bullshit has infected you all and it’s disappointing.

30 out of 21000 polling places is not “quite possibly” get out of here.

Edit: There’s an estimated 900k police officers in the country. 30 did something you think is shitty, therefore the other 899.999k are also bad and will be there to make you regret voting and harass you! What a silly stupid argument.

The fuck relevance is that? Where do you think police are sitting at polling places harassing people?

No. If you actively see someone harassing someone. That’s a crime. Call 911. The fuck with calling a random 800 number.

I’m not… Building a private road on your 10 acre plot is also simply cheaper than maintaining a DOT Approved road that can handle a full semi+trailer.

The same thing exists virtually everywhere. When government is involved, there is some standard written somewhere on what standards need to be met. In order to guarantee to meet those standards/tests there’s costs associated with that.

It’s common knowledge you can easily ask 300% of your default price if it’s the government.

primarily because government requirements are often way more strict than standard commercial or consumer… If someone sets up a contract with you that requires you do 100 things you normally don’t do… you’re going to charge more. 3x is likely fair in most cases where compliance becomes a thing just for the cost of talking to counsel about meeting those requirements.

LOL wut?! Quote me chapter and verse please, actual law, case law or tax code.

Uniforms are tax deductible… The point of it being a uniform is that you distinctly wear it for work purposes. This is well known. Not sure why you’re acting like a twat about it. https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/jobs-and-career/how-to-use-work-clothes-as-a-tax-deduction/L59P1ocW1

I didn’t want you to think I downvoted you.

I’m admin on my small instance. I can see the votes. No worries. In this case the downvote is from xektop@lemmy.world.

Anyway, the most I ever use LLMs professionally for is to help rearrange content for better flow or maybe convert more rambly bits into something that’s concise. I tend to be more verbose than I need to be (mostly because my documentation for stuff is wildly verbose since I tend to forget stuff, which is great for documentation… not always great for talking through something for a client).

I think their skillset might be limited to what chatgpt can produce.

People who proofread only generally make recommendations to edit. LLMs often “rewrite” the vast majority of the document.

If I tell a person who’s my editor the concept of my paper and about 20-30% of the actual content that’s in the end paper… sounds like someone else wrote the paper to me.

It’s all up to how you’re using the tool. Lots of kids out there will simple tell chatgpt to write something for them. Other’s will simply ask for basic proofreading. It’s a bitch to tell the difference on the grading side.

Ah so you spend the remaining 1:00 at the clinic then. Got it.

Use anything… Mailcow or otherwise. Just don’t expose the ports on your firewall/router to connect back to you.

What do you do with the other 1:30?
