    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    IMO they should advice everyone to fill their gas tanks (if applicable) and stock up on bottled water and ready to eat canned food. If you're not eating the canned food, donate them at least 3 months before "best use by" date. But since it's for emergencies, you should taste test the food...

    Disk Cloning Software

    Every since Samsung discontinued the data migration tool and rolled the disk clone feature into Samsung Magician, they've dropped support for various old drives. Previously you could clone them to a Samsung SSD, now they just show as unsupported. So it's back to Macrium Reflect. The free...

    Stelo glucose sensor experience

    The tofu bread at Nijiya market (Torrance/Gardena) is quite good and I believe they're around 10g carbs per slice. They bake the bread on site. Service was excellent and the bakery staff sliced it for me out of the oven and hand delivered it to me in a different section of the supermarket...

    Stelo glucose sensor experience

    A few updates: * I downloaded and paid for the app "Shuggah". For whatever reason, when I setup a new sensor, I have to go enable "developer settings" and edit the blue tooth entry for new sensor. But Shuggah is better than Stelo and will display readings above 250 and below 70. * My...

    The joy of dealing with EDD for unemployment insurance

    I called on Friday afternoon and didn't have to wait long. Monday mornings are very bad (long wait) and you need to call in as soon as they open.

    The joy of dealing with EDD for unemployment insurance

    It's been over a month since I've been laid off and I have yet to see a single unemployment insurance payment. Called in to ask what the issue was, said I didn't look for work in last week of April so they have to setup an interview to ask why. (No interview was actually setup or communicated...

    Stock picks

    Being unemployed, I've moved my cash position into QQQI and SPYI to earn better interest to offset expenses. When I get a new gig I will move the funds back. Hopefully the stock market doesn't nosedive, this type of fund might not handle big crashes well.

    Carbonaut bread, Carnival Cruise (Panorama), on-board restaurants, etc.

    * I finally got around to try Carbonaut bread, found it for sale at Sprouts for $10. It's $6 at Target but I think you may have to order it. In terms of taste and texture, I give it a thumbs up for low card bread. Need more time to evaluate impact to glucose levels. * Took a celebratory...

    Stock picks

    Trump's EU tariff threat created another buying opportunity. I'd like to buy UHN at $285, but $295 is good for today. With Medicare fraud case(s) pending, the stock faces rocky road ahead.

    Since I finally have some time, gonna study options trading. I did take a class back in college on the subject but it was over 2 decades ago. Any recommendations on good books, YT channels, web sites? I ordered the set of options trading books from Freeman publication on Amazon to start.

    Royo low carb bread, bagels, challah rolls

    So I drove through heavy LA traffic to buy Royo low carb bagels from kosher market (https://eatroyo.com/pages/where-to-buy). Western Kosher receive weekly shipments and they place them out front (outside front door to the right) and inside on the bread shelf. Sadly, the texture and consistency...
