No storage?  In the future I believe any incentives will heavily favor storage over just panels.  CA is at the point of living completely off renewables during clear daylight hours, but burns a lot of fossil fuels at night, and the wide swing results in wasted energy.  You'll have to post back...

(Free) market rates.  Who knew?

I'll submit I'm in a better position to judge the relative value of homes I see listed in my neighborhood on a daily basis.  Nothing wrong with the location of the house and it really is gorgeous.  No exaggeration: the most expensive house on I think the 2nd largest lot in this zip code faces...

There is a fantastic almost 5000 square foot house near me on a ~10,000 square foot lot, with a backyard oasis.  The owners fancied it up to sell it, touched everything inside and out and made it really nice.  Listed it for $4.4m early in the year, which I thought was a bit optimistic, but...

So does the server get that 18%?  Because I'm not leaving an additional tip if I'm paying an 18% service charge, since, uh, tips are for service.  And any place that does that will probably end up with less money from me, since I normally leave more than 20% as calculated on the total bill...

Ariya preorders closed days ago.

If prices crash 40% I'm going to scoop up my retirement home!

The one without the paywall?

My oldest running cars are 28 and 29 years old.  I've had them for 16 and 19 years, respectively.  Others I've had longer and are older, but probably only have 1 trip left in them to the scrapyard.  I've only ever bought used cars.  As a young adult I would buy my first car and truck well used...

The big question is what will sales volume do?  Or is inventory up because sales have been anemic?

I am shocked there are that many idiots working at Apple.  Does "more neuro-normative" mean less crazy and entitled?  If so, I am all for it. 

I'm used to describing trucks as rated in carrying capacity (e.g., 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton, 1 ton, though it's a very antiquated system).  Crew cab, full size doesn't mean much.  All my trucks are crew cab and "full size".  For the ones you mentioned, I agree with you.  For my F350, not so much.  Like...

Maybe with a 3L V6.  MPG differences depend on the truck and the engine options.  The gas version of my diesel has better EPA ratings than what I see in the real world with my diesel, and the diesel gets much worse mpg than my 2 gassers.  No surprise, since the diesel weighs over 8000 lbs...

I'm not sure you realize how scary that prospect is.  The last time "creative financing" was all the rage, things didn't end well. 

Re: demographics and wealth and opportunities, I agree that wealth transfer will be a huge windfall for the younger generation, but from a social safety net standpoint, every generation has had it tougher than the one before.  R2D, you mentioned getting a free bus pass...is that even a thing...

Lordy, I don't think rates can get that high before the "ensuing crash" occurs.  And I'm not talking just real estate...all the governments will go bankrupt just trying to cover their debts.  Gold might become en vogue once again!

We need a "How high can we go?" thread.

Does toilet paper count? 

In 1991 we hadn't yet invented pergraniteel.
