    The only real maintenance hassle with in-ground pools is the filtration system pipes breaking and leaking because the ground froze or there was a frost heave. In maryland that's not such a big concern. The rest of the maintenance is just like, chemicals which is NBD, and long term stuff you budget for and hire somebody to do, like replacing the liner every 10 years.

    There's stuff to do for sure but if you like swimming and you have hot summers, it's so good. Plus like, grilling by the pool, keeping up a good tan, exercise. It's some good stuff! I think it's totally worth it if you'll use it.

    I'm sure the tech has advanced some, but from my personal experience, chemicals aren't the only maintenance for non-salt water pools.

    Filters don't have to break and/or leak to require maintenance - first stage baskets require consistent checking to empty out large debris - the main pumps require regular backwashing and replacement of Diatomaceous Earth.

    The mechanical cleaners in the pool only do so much - you're still out there once a week, every week, manually sweeping the pool even in the winter (at which point you're wondering why you're sweeping a pool every week for 8 months of unusable time and 3-4 months of usable time), it's just a lot of maintenance for limited utility.

    You dodged a bullet - in-ground pools are maintenance nightmares for limited seasonal utility.

    We discussed that and with some extra in-law money would have turned it into a heated solarium. Year round pool.

    That'd be a p. good upgrade - that'd make it worth the effort.

    I mean,

    the best game of 2016 looked like an SNES game

    The best game of 2016 was Doom.

    But also, Hyper Light Drifter looks much nicer than any actual SNES game.

    I was talking about Stardew Valley,

    a game that still has 30k people playing it on steam constantly

    Dude that game convinced my wife to LITERALLY buy a farm.

    Did she also court you by giving you tons of produce?

    No I wanted a farm and she didn't even though we both loved Havest Moon 64 and then she played Stardew for two years straight and I convinced her to buy a farm cause I still wanted one
    Did you want a farm, or was the farm an excuse to get a compound?

    I wanted a compound...
    No hate I almost purchased a compound. And the in laws would have kicked in on it. It was just too far outside the commute for us.

    https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2810-Forge-Hill-Rd-Bel-Air-MD-21015/36948655_zpid/

    Sold for $565k, I'm super jealous that you can basically get a mansion at that price. Why do I live here? AhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHH

    My best friend just bought for about ~$400K a giant parcel of land in upstate new york with 2 houses (one has like 4 BR, the other maybe 2-3), a stable, and a pond.
    Meanwhile I'm hoping that maybe I could find a 2BR condo in a neighborhood I like in DC for $600K but I think it's gonna be more like $800K.

    I can't believe that house and land is 565k

    Even here, where property is cheap, I'd imagine that to be $750 - 1M

    Some days Blue wonders why anyone ever bothered making numbers so small; other days she supposes even infinity needs to start somewhere.

    I wouldn't want to take care of a big piece of land or anything; it's just sort of depressing that I can't live in a modest apartment where I want to for a reasonable amount of money. But I also took an high-paying job so I could go ahead and spend the unreasonable amount (I mean on a downpayment, instead of the unreasonable amount I set on fire every month for rent) when the time comes, so ok.

    okay you can chop the tree and it breaks into logs and then you can hit E and the logs disappear, which is step one toward getting them into your inventory. there is an Item class that has a flag to determine if you can hit E to disappear it

    there is an inventory window that opens with inventory slots based on an array, you can open and close it with tab, and it has a header that says "Inventory" and a button you can click to close it

    the close button works about one out of every ten clicks

    we are making progress my droogs

    Living in a walkable city feels like one of those unobtainable dreams to me due to the expense. It seems like it'd be easy enough to find a job that pays enough to live in the city, but just barely, so there wouldn't be anything else left at the end of the month to save for retirement.
    You could live in Baltimore. It’s walkable and not super expensive...a bit stabby though.

    I'll keep that in mind. Stabby I can handle. Is Baltimore primarily a DoD industry town though? (I had my fill of SSDD, SDDs, etc)
    It’s a better mix than DC, healthcare is big there with Johns Hopkins.

    I just got back from a 90 minute stroll a hot shower and a quick on-foot grocery run so my only complaint is that none of these were with anyone else.

    Also, outside of being murdered, it is hard to find a vibrant queer scene even in entirely safe midsize cities

    It's just harder to be on the market in, say, Omaha--which is a perfectly lovely place!--versus Seattle, SF, NY, w/e

    The only cities I'd ever move out of Seattle for without other reasons is Quebec City or Montreal and it would have to make financial sense.

    Hell my main reason to even consider other neighborhoods is having more friends in Fremont and possibly a more realistic local dating pool.

    I forget Denver doesn't count as normal fly over country.

    But looking around here for a house and we aren't planning to buy for at least a year or more still is annoying. I am figuring we get about 1800 sqft with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths and I would be happy. Because with that it is easy to set up the working areas for both of us. Also there is now a yard requirement for:

    1)2 chickens and a coop
    2)At least one more dog
    3)A huge garden
    4)Composting.

    I like fake camping, with livingeoom furniture, really amazing food, well stocked bars, amplified sound, generators, air conditioning, shower access, raves, burnable installation art, art cars, fireworks and silicon valley douchbros.

    I mean,

    the best game of 2016 looked like an SNES game

    The best game of 2016 was Doom.

    But also, Hyper Light Drifter looks much nicer than any actual SNES game.

    I was talking about Stardew Valley,

    a game that still has 30k people playing it on steam constantly

    Dude that game convinced my wife to LITERALLY buy a farm.

    Did she also court you by giving you tons of produce?

    No I wanted a farm and she didn't even though we both loved Havest Moon 64 and then she played Stardew for two years straight and I convinced her to buy a farm cause I still wanted one
    Did you want a farm, or was the farm an excuse to get a compound?

    I wanted a compound...
    No hate I almost purchased a compound. And the in laws would have kicked in on it. It was just too far outside the commute for us.

    https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2810-Forge-Hill-Rd-Bel-Air-MD-21015/36948655_zpid/

    Sold for $565k, I'm super jealous that you can basically get a mansion at that price. Why do I live here? AhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHH

    My best friend just bought for about ~$400K a giant parcel of land in upstate new york with 2 houses (one has like 4 BR, the other maybe 2-3), a stable, and a pond.
    Meanwhile I'm hoping that maybe I could find a 2BR condo in a neighborhood I like in DC for $600K but I think it's gonna be more like $800K.
    ;_;
    ;_;
    ;_;
    ;_;

    the rural compound is not worth it if it means being out in some shitty red state hellhole

    the property with the cannabis farm I'm part owner of in Oklahoma came with a mansion on its 35 acres. also 2 spring fed ponds and a large outbuilding which is being used for indoor growing. Whole compound was less than 800k.

    And its the greatest place to visit and all but once you leave the compound Oklahoma City is just the most depressing place ever. It's makes Spokane look vibrant and fun and not full of meth heads.

    Attacked by tweeeeeeees!

    There’s no shame in paying a premium on living where and how you want

    For half my rent check, I could afford a modest country house in a state that wants to murder me

    Yeah I just have to tell myself, I can walk to the coffee shop, and she can't walk to the coffee shop.

    ...but she could hire a barista and make a coffee shop in the second fucking house on the giant property ;_;

    I wouldn't want to take care of a big piece of land or anything; it's just sort of depressing that I can't live in a modest apartment where I want to for a reasonable amount of money. But I also took an high-paying job so I could go ahead and spend the unreasonable amount (I mean on a downpayment, instead of the unreasonable amount I set on fire every month for rent) when the time comes, so ok.

    You could always join us on the Maryland side of the fence.

    eww, gross
