As someone who recently built a new home (not with DR Horton because they are complete trash), the solution to this issue rests in the inspection process.

Especially with a builder well-known for shoddy workmanship, you have to have every single phase of the house inspected and you need to be onsite regularly to point out things to the builder. Also, while builders are giving such incredible incentives on spec homes with like 4.5% rates, sometimes, it isn’t worthwhile in the end because you miss out on the option of having the house inspected at every point.

DR Horton has a neighborhood a few streets from mine and I could have had a bigger home for possibly cheaper, but I refused to use them. I had an inspection at just pre-drywall and pre-close, but a DR Horton home requires inspections at the initial dig, pre-foundation pouring, post-pouring, framing, electrical and plumbing, pre-insulation, post-drywall, flooring installation, pre-close, and then an 11-month inspection, too. And, if the builder says things like “the inspector can’t go onto the roof” or “we don’t have to fix anything that the inspector finds” walk. Regardless of the incentives, the headache is not worth the offer.

Your printer looks a little bit furry.

If only interest rates could drop to the same levels…

Wow, look at the time! It’s 1984 already!

They have almost no content library these days. I’m actually surprised that it is as high as it is.

Your Minecraft posts got me thinking about getting back into again on PC. What version are we on these days?

Naturally. Mom and Pops aren’t creating value for the shareholders, so they just got to go.

They don’t have to raise prices. They are choosing to raise prices, and let’s be honest here, I doubt that they really needed a reason to raise prices at all. These retailers were just waiting for the opportunity.

And…I’d love to see how quickly these same retailers drop their prices when these tariffs are lifted.

Why do these people always have inane, yet insufferable sons?

Even though this is an annoying DRM layer, I do like the innovation attempted here.

Back in the day, you’d hand your disc to your friend and then they’d hand it back to you some time later. Digital has given us a lot more freedom in how we game, but the ability to share had been removed. This at least seems to be offering a solution, at least for those who either don’t want to or are unable to just Arr! the games.

All they need is to remove the asinine local connection piece, and make the timeframe longer.

Oh snap! This has opened up a whole new rabbit hole for me my friend.

A friend of mine was curious about this Kindle jailbreak of which you speak. Could you elaborate on how the jailbreak works for a Kindle?

Watch me flip!

Science moves forward one funeral at a time.

Imma steal this, okay? Just letting you know now because this is absolute #facts.

xAI? Ain’t that his son?

That’s fair and that makes sense to me.

This is a bad idea. As someone comes from a “Honda family”, I drive a Honda because I don’t want a Nissan.

This feels like the quality of Hondas get to drop while the cost of Nissans get to jump. I fail to see how this benefits anyone.

What about just banning dihydrogen monoxide? That stuff kills 100% of those who consume it and is, like, everywhere!

What have we become when a man can’t highly rate the Unabomber’s manifesto??

We used to be a society!
