If your entertainment system doesn’t work or Wi-Fi doesn’t, on Delta you can ask a FA and they have a little device where they immediately give you 5000 or 10,000 miles. Or contact customer service afterward and they do. Just in case anyone didn’t know that. Not sure about other airlines.

I thought after Bhanu left my head wouldn’t hurt so much anymore.

Zillow is totally crack. Several times I've been thisclose to hopping on a plane on a moment's notice to see "the perfect place." Then the next perfect place comes along. Part of the complication for me is that I'm moving not only my household but my mom's. That's affecting timing a lot...

Ah yes, I missed that part. You're probably right.

I've stopped using CLEAR in a lot of airports because the regular TSA precheck line ends up being quicker.

Here's one where I can be of direct assistance. I believe Bogart is in Texas, and sale of business non-competes can be up to five years there. So given that, and seeing his is five years, maybe you were right in your interpretation of what happened!

I was reading his post differently, in that a company he worked for was sold and he agreed to a non-compete linked to getting equity in the acquiring company. That wouldn't be part of the exception. But he can clarify which he meant.

I'm good on realtors in the Chicago area, but if anyone has someone they love in the Seattle area, I have not one but two houses (mine and my mom's) that will go on the market. I might PM you on the financing options to buy before selling. I've done it three different ways in the past, but...

The DOJ and FTC have in recent years tried to step up efforts in this area, too, by charging some companies and executives with criminal conspiracy for alleged no-poach agreements, A good summary here of a couple of recent cases involving the health care industry where the DOJ lost on this argument.

Ah, I didn’t explain the timing factor well. I’m not worried about holding my current place for more than a few months because I don’t know how quickly it will sell. I have little concern there. I would end up holding it because I’m not moving until next year no matter what (for various...

That’s exactly right. The 25% threshold and “substantial owner” language were removed from the final rule and were what I was alluding to.

I don't think I like this "weigh every day" thing and am going back to once a week. Today I weighed 0.2 pounds more than yesterday. Pissed me off. Did another steep-hill walk and ate well with no booze. Will probably gain weight. :hot:

Congrats, icon!!! I'm driving myself mad every day trying to figure out the optimal way to do my buy first, sell after plan. In a nutshell, the problem is that I would likely do what I did the last time, which is use a HELOC and cash on hand to pay cash for the new place, then pay off the...

I know you've already been corrected on this, but I'm sorry to tell you that non-competes exist for lawyers. ;) And in the vast majority of industries.

I don't want to say too much since some people know where I work, but this has been something I've been on a task force for at work for a year. It was wholly expected that the FTC was going to end up exactly where they proposed over a year ago, despite all the comments. Surprisingly they...
