I'm wondering what the rules are for selling my laker tickets here. The StubHub fees are ridiculous.

Been in Irvine since 2007.  I've had a neighbor who's side door leading into the garage was kicked in by a burglar while they were on vacation.  I've also caught a person trying to pry open my back door at 430am and was able to scare him off when I confronted him through the door.  He doesn't...

I'm pretty sure that any sophisticated burglar that is able to hack the z-wave protocol to gain entry is probably able to hack the rolling garage code that we all use to open and close the garage.   

I changed the dead bolt to a keypad.  Makes it easier and I don't have to carry a house key.  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006G1AGTM?tag=amz-mkt-chr-us-20&ascsubtag=1ba00-01000-org00-def00-other-nomod-us000-pcomp-feature-scomp-wm-4-wl-ddt0_sce0_prc0_aapi0&ref=bit_scomp_sav0

I've been a huge supporter of tesla by owning this stock for years.  But I was disappointed with the release of the model 3 and its premise that it will be the future mass market car.  It seems to me the production cost for the Model 3 will rise each year even though the gigafactory is supposed...

Western Mutual Insurance won't insure homeowners that are attorneys.  Makes me wonder what they're up to and how likely they'll pay a claim if it came down to it.  I'd recommend Wawanesa Insurance if they'll insure you.
