You don't think it's possible that two people meet and it's quickly evident to both of them that there's no potential (whether for hashkafic disparities, life vision disparities, personality disparities, or plain old they can't stand each other)?

Possible, sure. But more often there's just jitters or people take time to warm up and you won't know which one it is if you punt after one date.

Agreed, but South FL is an extreme. Seeing a repeat of 2005-2008, and that was really ugly for a lot of people.

Stay tuned for a repeat. Bubble is growing by the day.

Personal opinion: buying a house in South FL now is like buying hand sanitizer in April 2020. If you need it, you need it. Otherwise, you're getting taken for a ride.

True for most of the country right now.

50 cents x 30 on Amazon would work also, as long as you also spent $300, correct?
Would chase crack down on that?

Yes.
Should be fine, people were doing way more back in the Freedom Exclusives days.

So you're holding for the 3% chance that it won't be extended like me?

I don't think there's any chance, but nothing to lose by waiting.

Is it safe to assume you rescheduled?

Planning on cancelling when the NOTAM is extended

I saw tons of donations on https://www.charidy.com/cmp/takeushome/dansdeals.
Are those all matched?
Does 100% of my $$ go to the victims? Or is some guy taking a big cut? CC @AsherO @Dan @jj1000

Read the DDMS post.

Seaplane and Boat both options. Friends of mine (just called to confirm) took Seaplane on arrival and Boat on Departure.

Cool, didn't have a boat option in 2013.

I think all matchers should donate through the DDMS link and put "DDF matcher" in the dedication.

Makes sense.
