  • Depends on where you live.

    The bank will often send an inspector for a loan, but it’s literally him just walking around and validating there is a house and it’s not in shambles. He’ll look at things like the roof from the outside and when it was redone, but isn’t going to hop into your crawlspace to look for signs of water damage.

    Then you have the “private” inspection company that you can pay to check your home for yourself. These companies are know to cost a lot of money, often detailing things they can’t be sure are “risks”. They’ll go in the crawlspace and note all sorts of things.

    On my house the expensive private inspection said “the roof here is kinda saggin and there’s a bump there, it could be anything”. In the same report he accidentally shows a picture from under the roof where you can see there was a repair and some extra framing, causing the small “bump” that is purely aesthetic. Didn’t mention that part.

    Getting someone to look at it post purchase is likely going to be much cheaper, and I’m definitely not recommending people don’t get inspections when buying houses if they don’t know what they’re doing.














  • What was there to “wait and see” after Spez banned 3rd party aps and Rif/apollo went down? Spez had announce monetization schemes and IPO.

    He stayed because it was about him, not reddit. His arguments are pretty weak this late into the gestalt.

    To say that he had more investment than me is bonkers. I was on Reddit since the beginning, and plenty of chucklefucks replaced me, but leaving was the right thing to do, because as you said after the ban there was no stopping the IPO, only helping it.

    Reddit would not have survived replacing all the mods. But a large percentage of reddit didn’t care about 3rd party integrations, and helped spez keep his momentum. Our man here is one of them…
