The Korean place looks good. Will have to try it out soon

Not sure this is an unpopular opinion. In n out fries are just middle of the road. I agree the crinkles at shake shack are much better. Still nothing beats Red Robin steak fries :-)

It’s the exterior of the 2027 X5 that I don’t like. I’m assuming the 2028 X7 will look similar - I guess I have 3 years for the new design to grow on me so we will see. I also don’t like the fact that there are no gauges behind the steering wheel either. They also got rid of the manual vent...

They butchered the 2027 X5. I’m assuming the 2028 X7 is next. I guess maybe I’ll consider a Tesla :-( Never thought I would say that.

I love the Zeiss wipes. Have them everywhere. Home; office, backpack, computer bag etc. they are like Amex, never leave home without it.

We are finally getting google fiber in our neighborhood. They laid down the fiber this summer. So the service should be up and running soon. Tired of paying $165/month to cox. @iho - glad to gear the wireless options are viable. Was thinking of trying one out before we got the google fiber news.

I’m sitting on that Marvell position. It wavered in the 70s for a while after I bought it but just sat on it. Then it kept going up and up. I thought about selling it but will probably just keep it till it hits $1T in market cap :-)

Was anyone even asking for a Ferrari EV? Isn’t the allure of a Ferrari the actual ICE engine (and the Ferrari badge of course) and knowing you have one of the best/fastest ICE cars? It would be funny if a Tesla plaid beats a Ferrari EV in a 0-60. I’m guessing it would

We tried Jr out and it was good. They have “street food” options which is nice to see, the kids liked the mandu as well. The bulgogi tacos were very tasty. They can definitely improve their green sauce they serve with the tacos. Maybe next time I’ll bring my own salsa. The sides and sauces are...

Raising canes!! My daughter loves that place, so it will be nice not having to go to the one on 17th in Santa Ana

I bought in 2012. Started with a 3.x fixed 30 year loan. Can’t remember now but I think it was 3.75. The TI talked me into an ARMs. My last refi was in 2021. Now I have a 15 year 1.99%. I think my mortgage is less than what a 2 bedroom Irvine Co apartment costs. Maybe even a 1 bedroom if the...

Thanks for the perspective Daedalus. That’s why I said I may go all in. It would depend on things are with the rest of the portfolio and market conditions at that time. Instead of going all in with the remaining cash i could also used leveraged ETFs like SSO. Also - keep in mind my “all in” may...

Every half a percent it goes down I buy $X amount (same fixed amount). Right now SP500 is down 6.76% from all time high and 4.95% YTD. Once we hit 10% down from ATH I will double those amounts. If we hit 20% down then I may just go all in.

I am a fan of I can bbq. Last summer I snapped a pic of the QR code to joined the waitlist (they don’t have it online) so whenever we want to go there for dinner we just get on the list from home. We leave when we are 5th in line and show up and our table is ready shortly.

Those bags of mini croissants at 99 ranch are so good.
