If you were to get audited and they asked you what the business reason was for the change you better have a good answer or they can go after you for aiding in tax evasion. Companies can generally come up with a decent enough explanation where if they disagree they just ask for the taxes that...

You can designate yourself however you want but the risk comes if you get audited by the CA FTB or IRS. Then you better hope you can claim ignorance vs tax evasion You can get ahead of it by making a donation to Trump to have your pardon ready :-)

I saw a car chase last week on KCAL and some car went straight at a dead end street and hit the wall/bushes. On the other side of the wall was a blue Tesla. Probably some cosmetic damage to the car. But one of the first things I thought of was that was exactly why I would never live at a house...

Ended up going, took about 7 minutes to get in the store. The hot food section looks good. We got some food but have not eaten it yet. It is all priced by the pound 10.99 per pound. They have wagyu sliders, which I was pleasantly surprised by. In Japan this summer I kept eating the frozen grape...

Forgot to respond to this previously. An owner of a company will in all likelihood be considered an exempt employee. Not sure what your company is structured as (s corp, c corp, llc, etc) but if you own 20% or more of the business and you work in the business you will generally be an exempt...

The good deals are pretty much on EVs on leasehackr. Then you see some good deals on cars nobody wants (jeeps, etc). I used to lease BMWs pre-covid, but the last two we bought. For owing to reallly payoff you need to own the car for about 7 years and then sell it to get around 20k back to...

Parking isn’t great there, assuming this store will make it worse. But god to have one nearby vs having to go to Costa Mesa

I have not done 1 or 2. The soap tray looks pretty clean, we use the tide HE liquid detergent from Costco. Maybe I’ll do both 1 and 2 soon and will report back :)

We got this in June of 2023 and we have had no issues whatsoever. Front loaders have an issue with mold in the door seal because most people leave the door closed after they use it so the water never really dries. We just leave the door open and only close it when in use. Then periodically we...

Not sure this is ICE vs EV as much as Chrysler/Jeep/Ram putting out shitty products. Dodge and Ram are just trucks and muscle cars, which I think never really became EVs. The grand Cherokee was the only good looking car they had and they changed the design for the worse.

Given his Taco Bell background and chipotle background I was pulling for him to make the turnaround happen. But given his hypocrisy I hope he gets fired for failing. To be somewhat fair CEOs travel a lot but if his direct reports are in Seattle he should be too. People don’t see hypocrites as...

I have not driven a cayenne. Although I believe repairs and maintenenace will be even more expensive than a BMW.

I did :-) I did get one temporarily and ultimately landed on 1.99% 15 year. So it was a win win for me

My car is 5.5 years old. I have the extended warranty for another 1.5 years so will keep it until then. I’m waiting to see what the 2027 X5 looks like, not a fan of the new X3 so if the new X5 looks like the new X3 I’ll have to reconsider getting something else. Maybe it will grow on me. I...

Yeah I didn’t realize the market cap was so low until I read the headline about it being acquired. Most people have heard of Kellogg, with such brand name recognition you would have thought it would have been a larger company.
