We all know the difference. Skin color. White people do this and it’s considered patriotic. Anyone else does it and it’s a crime against America.

There are way too many factors that go into play to just simplify it that their success is predicated on kids receiving/not receiving help. Parenting can always help on the margins but I’ve always been a believer that people are born wired a certain way. I’m not sure a motivation to...

Apparently everyone in Silicon Valley :) In accounting/finance senior managers here in OC can get up to the 185K range for base but is has to be a good paying company. And I would say that is on the very high end of the range. Those people would usually be in their late 30s/early 40s. That’s...

I take 20mg of losartan (generic for creator) and the doctor said it is standard practice to take it a night since that is when more of the cholesterol is made My cholesterol was low 200s so she was hesitant to prescribe but i convinced her due to my entire family having diabetes, cholesterol...

I don’t think they make that much, at least not in their 30s. Maybe after 20 years of reaching. I looked up a principal in TUSD recently out of curiosity and they made $185,000 as their base. No bonus.

This view probably varies based on how well heeled the parents are. One person I know does pretty well but concerned about having enough during retirement so they don’t plan on dialing back their expenses for the sole purpose of leaving their kids something. And they will only pay a certain...

Well my kids are under 12 :) But like Daedalus said, they will have it much harder, I’m in my 40s and college is more way more competitive than it was for me. House prices are so disconnected from incomes that I don’t see how a regular person will be able to buy a house under the old...

they need to make government great again :) What a pain

We are a BMW family. But if my choice was between an iX or the new 2026 palisade I would go with the palisade. https://www.hyundaiusa.com/us/en/vehicles/2026-palisade

Yeah that is one of the main things I can’t stand. Also, it sits lower than the X5 and slightly smaller.

I don’t like the look of the model x. Although the new model y is kind of growing on me. I did test drive a regular iX and I liked that it drove like a regular car. But I don’t like the look of any BMW electric car.

I mentioned to someone I’m thinking of getting a new car and they suggested I get a Tesla. The car I’m thinking about is the X5M. A Tesla just doesn’t feel the same as a twin turbo V8 that goes 0-60 in 3.7 seconds. Yeah some Tesla plaid may go a little faster but it just wouldn’t feel the same.

This is why we will never sell our house. We will help them buy one and leave them ours as well.

Panda - hopefully you bought 4-5 homes back in the day and you can retire soon. This was amazing foresight on your part. Congrats. I’m a fan of the Atlanta area but not sure I would live in the area just because of the weather. Although I think it is probably one of the better weather options...

Except the landfill won’t be going anywhere
