    Is it time to buy GOOGL yet? I've been in it for probably 10 years. Thinking of picking up some more. P/E is compelling for such a dominant company.

    Toyota moving to Texas

    Maybe "consistently" is the key word here, because I just bought gas at Costco in Hawaii 2 days ago for $4.00 a gallon, and my local Costco in CA is selling it for $4.05. Anytime I hear someone complain about the cost of living in Hawaii, I know they've never lived in CA.

    2 suspects robbed Irvine man of $6,000 shoes

    Yes, but the spam is current.

    Charts show University of California admissions rates for every public high school in state

    I flunked out of college and moved home with my parents. I didn't have a college fund to piss away, so I washed dishes in restaurants, which did absolute wonders for my self-motivation and shit-togetherness.

    Home built with Dryer vent sealed shut

    Have you verified there's no air flow at the exterior vent exit when the dryer's running? It seems like you would have noticed at a much earlier point in the past 7 years if your dryer wasn't working. Are you sure it's not just the back wall of an elbow, or a grate that's blocking the brush...

    Home built with Dryer vent sealed shut

    Exactly where was this flap? On the dryer itself, or on the vent line? What's the path of this vent line? Trying to imagine how it required tearing down walls. Also, I don't see how it explains smelling NG. Understand that the dryer has an igniter, and gas has to flow before it's lit, so...

    Toyota moving to Texas

    Maybe PCH in Malibu won't be a parking lot on weekends, and I'll be able to go on nice drives without having to leave my house @ 6AM

    Features you like in a home (version 3)

    #1 for me has always been close to work, and #2 is large garage. 3 car? Psh!

    ICE or EV?

    I was at a carshow a few weeks back and these guys had a tent, so I took it for a ride. Hard pass. For the price, it was too slow. When I go electric, it will absolutely have to include a step up in performance. I kept trying to step on the clutch to downshift when coming to a stop. The silence...

    Work in office or remote?

    45+? That's called Wednesday.

    Toyota moving to Texas

    THAT'LL bring the gas prices down! So glad I live close to work. I've filled the tank just 8 times so far this year. https://news.yahoo.com/news/phillips-66-announces-plans-close-010900790.html

    Hard water at kitchen with new build?

    Get a cheap TDS water tester like this one. After you install new filters and purge them, do a baseline reading of your water. Should be pretty low, maybe 15 PPM. Over time you can monitor your water quality. I change my "6 month" filters when the PPM hits 2x the baseline. I go for years on...

    Interesting Turtle Rock remodel with a WTF price

    The house looks like it has 3 wine fridges built into the front. Seriously, the garage doors aren't much bigger than the entrance. Where the hell is the Cybertruck supposed to park?

    Dishwasher rack & washer machine rust repair

    Water conditioners don't change the laws of physics and chemistry, and they won't remove oxygen from your water. If your dishwasher parts are in good shape you may not have any rust at all. Parts are typically either stainless steel, or coated with a vinyl skin. It's when the coating gets...

    Toyota moving to Texas

    Unsure if this is mostly symbolic or not. I.e., will they maintain their engineering hub here, or even manufacturing? Socal is still an aerospace skills reservoir, though it has been slowly draining away and diluting for a very long time. Spacex can certainly create its own weather to some...

    INFLATION IS OUR FRIEND

    On the upside the fixed mortgage from 2011 that was refi'd through 2019 is starting to look SOOOOOPER cheap. My payment + taxes + insurance + extra principal is less than what the renters next door signed up for 2 years ago, and our house is about 50% bigger. They do have a pool though, which...

    Dishwasher rack & washer machine rust repair

    I just did this repair maybe 6 weeks ago. Got a silicone cap assortment, and a tube of food safe RTV. Luckily all my rust spots were near the wire ends, so I just snipped them flush past the rust with a cable cutter and bonded the caps on. Did the same repair on the countertop dish rack at...

    ICE or EV?

    Purely hypothetical, as they're not selling cars to the general public. But if I was in need of a car, I would seriously consider it. Buy 2 and have a spare for parts. $28k for a car that nice is an easy sell. But my situation is somewhat unique. I have the space to store the 2nd car...

    ICE or EV?

    Certainly not, if the final assembly location is other than North America.
