    So, vaguely depressing cabin update. The bank assessment came back a good bit under our offer and the owner was almost completely unwilling to drop the price and then no longer wanted to complete the required repairs to boot (he feels he shouldn’t have to spend his own money). Sooooo, we are back to looking for a house and now have to negotiate a month to month with our new landlords (our apartment building just sold and we had given a 30 day notice yay). We were supposed to close this week too. Sucks it got this far in and the guy was just bonkers unrealistic.

    Best part is the guy re-listed the house at about 10k over the assessment value cause he’s in escrow for another house in Colorado and needs his house to sell for a certain (unrealistic) amount.

    How likely is it I'll get Master's coming back to the game with 17k approved/99.9% approval? Master's was the white whale in my turking days.

    Masters below 50k approved is unlikely, though it's still not really known how masters are selected. I haven't heard of anyone getting it recently.

    There was a big drop of Masters last year and there have been a few more people that have gotten it since then. Most of the new Masters have been over 50k approved and many over 100k approved.

    I almost never hear about people getting masters with less than 50k approved and most of them that have less than that got in 2016 or earlier.

    Quite a bit of reading, but what killed my hourly was the 4 (I think?) timed 2-minute rounds of spot the difference
