@ToddLlewellyn Used the tool. Suggested tankless which sounds great. Should I wait until my water heaters die to replace? If I have two water heaters now do I need two tankless to replace? And does this help with how long it takes hot water to reach some parts of the house like our master bath

I take alot of heat on this app for my sales process. I try to do everything over the phone. Mostly text. I hate sales. I hate upsells. I try to be very straightforward. Doing it this way helps our prices be very competitive and still make great profit. I built another tool that will help with water heater sales. Let me know what you think hilarious-jelly-81232e.netlify.app

@ToddLlewellyn What does tankless water heater cost? Does it provide instant hot water to faucets and showers? Many of ours tend to need 20-30 seconds to get the hot water flowing.

Tank water heaters suck lately. We are seeing a lot have issues within the 6 year warranty. Occasionally this turns in to customers saying “you sold me a faulty water heater”. They aren’t wrong but also there’s not much we can do about it.

There used to be this great phrase: The job of a software developer isn't to tell the computer what to do; it's to tell other people what you're telling the computer to do. I wonder how this should morph in the age of AI?

I don’t think AI is lowering the barrier to entry as much as it is giving the very smartest people an even more enormous advantage.

@Mubarak_mubious Coffee and it’s no contest

what's the most socially accepted addiction ??

Counterintuitive career truth: When your boss gives you direct feedback, that's a positive. They are investing their attention in helping you perform better. You should worry most when they stop having anything to say at all. Silence isn’t praise. It’s indifference.

Instead of getting great at "productive conflict" next year, maybe try not being assholes.

Major life cheat code: Taking radical ownership of your outcomes. High performers don't blame secret forces, unclear direction, or market conditions. They create their reality through relentless action. Stop inventing reasons you can't and you'll start finding ways that you can.

@rtmccombs Why is this game not happening at the Marriott Center? It doesn't seem like one that should be at the Delta Center

My preview for tonight’s game where BYU takes on preseason WAC favorite Cal Baptist in SLC vanquishthefoe.com/byu-basketball…

@ByuSome We all know why. It's because they beat Penn State, the preseason number two

Completely random...but why is Iowa ranked #23??? lol

A GREAT day to be a Coug.

@UtahCFBstats BYU was not the highest bidder. lol.

"The church isn’t going to weigh in on dollar amounts or recruits... We can never become a place where the culture is pay to play.” "We don't outbid people - we just out-love them, out-develop them, and out-purpose them." "Never the highest bidder." 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

@rcb05 LOL. BYU is 11-1 and on the outside looking in. In the last 25 years of the Big 12, Texas lost more than 1 conference game 16 out of the 25 years. This doesn't track. TX averaged almost 3 conference losses per season between 2000-2023. You're an idiot.

TIRED: If the Playoff committee isn’t going to reward playing a tough schedule, Texas should cancel their non-conference matchups. WIRED: If the Playoff committee isn’t going to reward playing a tough schedule, Texas should move back to the Big 12.

If the CFP Committee chooses not to count losses, they also shouldn't count wins. Looking at your TX for the OSU loss. If the loss doesn't count when you lose, the win shouldn't count when you win.

@KirkHerbstreit USF is a "meaningful non conference game" :)

Get ready to see this happen all over the sport. If it’s only about how many wins ya have and not who you’re playing and where you’re playing you’re gonna see every AD make these same moves. Kiss meaningful non conference games in late August and early September goodbye. Cupcakes moving forward till teams get to conference play.

Most issues with influence (and with communication, in general) are issues with context. If you want to become more influential, the first habit to get into is sharing why you are speaking up. It is not at all self-evident.

@ToddLlewellyn Sell rental, pay off primary residence, then cash flow a new rental if you want it. Reduce # of liabilities and pay cash for a new one if you want another. You can always get another rental/loan if you want it.

Hypothetical: You have a rental that brings in about $1000 per month after expenses. You could sell the rental and pay off your primary residence. What are you doing? Sell rental and pay off house? Keep rental and keep making house payments.

@joewheat27 "was" 😅

Wisconsin was top 15 in KenPom btw

Curious to open a bit of discussion, but the talk of tariff dividends - isn't the goal of increasing tariffs to eliminate other taxes? Or decrease the debt? What's the goal with pushing it back to individuals? Increase how much households spend?
