I don’t have lunch with Jamie Dimon or anything, but the arguments I’ve heard range from (1) a lesser of two evils, we should make sure we can at least do what we can to minimize risk for our clients...

Post ride beers.

Most dad post in this thread.

Haven’t really penciled it, admittedly, but I’m not finding AWD options that comfortably get me 250 miles of range in sub-freezing temps for less than $50k used, and even at that it’s a bit of a...

And then you get people hodling USD instead of buying goods and services or investing in things that create value. Chaos. Gotta keep things lubed up….

Phantom is on my radar as maybe a good solution for a “travel ski”…

People are still bitching about cash for clunkers. I like the idea of going EV but the smart money move is still looking like a reliable ICE that’ll go for a decade+.

Fair enough, though a chunk of that came from Russia, so maybe a bit of a circular argument….. also, while that’s plenty wealthy, it doesn’t even get her into the 1%.

I’m not saying she wasn’t...

Well, she makes more like $220k. Which is a good salary by most measures, but not so much that a $1M salary doesn’t sound pretty enticing. And lest we forget, she needs to make enough to retire...

I’m just here to say that if Russia wants to pay this 40yo 5’9” white guy $1M per year to play basketball or curling or something, I’m rolling that dice.

And I’m not even passionate about any of...

Wtf? I posted the relevant regulation that applied directly to the question at hand, dude, not my word as a know it all.

The fuck crawled up your ass?

Hah! Huh? That isn’t “what I found on the internet.” That’s the regulation. And given that it’s a consumer protection reg you can’t actually agree to different rules, at least not anything that...

Sorry OG. +++

When buying for my 16yo who likes to zoom zoom, that’s a big part of the appeal.

Regulation:

PMI has little (nothing?) to do with whether or not it’s FHA. Some FHA loans will require PMI. Some conventional loans will require PMI. It’s more about loan to value and the policies of the...

Unfortunately, no. Subarus are the only vehicles that can property accommodate telemark skis. If you put a few stickers on them and grow an ironic mustache you can get them into a Toyota 4Runner, but...

The joke is that I would do the opposite of whatever Montucky would do, because he makes terrible vehicle purchasing decisions.

Relax. Just a joke.

Well maybe, but… breasts, you know?

So not a Volvo 240, check. We’ll go ahead and add the Outlander, CR-V, Chevy Trax, and Buick Encore to the list of potential cars to check out.

Keep ‘em coming, guys!

I’ve found it useful, from time to time, to print certain financial or other reports on legal size paper rather than completely blow up established formatting. These days that really just means what...

My daughter had a nice little RAV4 that was my stepbrother’s, gifted to her by my dad. Had 140K on the clock but was serviceable. She was just driving around and some guy pulled out in front of her....

Typically, people are allowed to move around on the water but they can’t stay - e.g. no mooring. Unless it’s otherwise defined, like in that listing, property lines go down to high water mark and...

I figured that out. TBARS wasn’t a word.

^^^ Made me go check to see if TBARS was really a word.

Last time I moved I just set up a new account at the new place and left the old place going for a couple weeks. Got to take advantage of promo pricing, too.

I take it for granted that most assembly instructions are going to be garbage, but I find it freshly annoying when the pictures clearly show a round/pan head screw when really they mean a flat head...

For sure. She smacks the bowl around and then turns to look at us. “This shit’s broken, what are you gonna do about it?!” <- and that doesn’t even feel like that much anthropomorphizing.

We have a metal water bowl for dogs. When it’s empty, one of my dogs just smacks it around with her paw, making a huge racket, until you put water in it. Cracks me up every time.

This seems like one of those “takes one to know one” situations.

Next time maybe I’ll know enough to ask the question, at least. This one caught me completely off guard.

Me being clueless annoys me. Didn’t realize the vagaries of different mountain bike hub driver types. My old shit isn’t compatible with the new to me shit. So I have to buy more shit but the bike...

It’s just money and this was covered upthread. If she thinks it’s worth $7k give it to her. Her tune will change when the inflated assets are on her balance sheet instead of yours. This shit is...

Double post

Sure, cool. I didn’t see the one up with the nifty twisty receiver tightener for easy/secure on and off, which was the clincher for me and I like that part. But I like my Yakima and you like your one...

A Yakima Dr Tray. I really like that rack and would buy it again, but might not submit it as being a “good value.” It was a bit expensive and some of that expense was to purchase ease of use rather...

A couple weeks at the local bike park we stopped for a snack and a beer. Subsequent laps I was cleanly hitting a lot of stuff I was passing up or barely clearing just before the break. Maybe it was...

Isn’t that sort of like the antithesis to this thread? That dude needs to invest in some GOTOS to carry all his shit. He should review this thread for inspiration.

Related note, my car could...

This made me realize that I need to order new rotors for my new (to me) wheels. I’m annoyed that I have to do that, and that it may add timeline to me being able to use my new wheels.

I have an unfriendly dog I used to take hiking. He would never approach or lunge at your dog and he was always on leash, but he WOULD snap at your unleashed dog when it stuck its nose up his ass. Too...

I’m imagining jailbreaking your bimmer to unlock some sketchy middle-eastern features.

Still have those wheels?

What now?

Cash flow does not equal earnings. TSLA sold because it felt a little pinched by liquidity. They also say that the bitcoin they sold was sold at a gain, but that the bitcoin they kept...

One thing those transition strips allow is a little more tolerance for expansion and contraction. I did something similar on a house a while ago and ended up having to cut transitions in between...

How much do you find it reduces your range?

Probably not too useful, but I saw a Tesla 3 with a roof box the other day who had license plates from the next state over; a few hundred miles from home, at least.

He was a younger dude driving...

Had to put my TGR filter on for that one. Everywhere else I hear that it means we got a lot of snow.

Appreciate the reversal.

As you were.

Good doggo!

My husky wants nothing to do with the water.
