    Dow?

    I do recall after the dot com crash the fed cut rates aggressively, yet the broader indices kept tanking, and took 7 years to recover.

    Renewable diesel (different from biodiesel)

    No answers here, but I'll know we're in a recession when gas is over $6/gallon and my coworkers start making "diesel" in their basements and garages again, like they did in '09.  "Why does Victor's car smell like french fries?" Is there a cost benefit?  Mileage benefit?  Do OEMs have any issues...

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    The other one for me is "boasts".  I prefer my housing have some humility.

    How soon until Bitcoin crashes?

    "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I ask you, would any reasonable person think it wise to take financial advice from either Kim Kardashian or someone who made a living getting punched in the head?  Your honor, I rest my case."

    Tesla Solar Panels Price Cut

    And the prices have gone up.  The systems are larger too, multiples of 4.8kw, but now it's $2.30/kw for all systems.  Which seems weird, since some of the costs are fixed regardless of system size.  The smallest system must be the least profitable.

    Cali Drought

    Headline: Newsoms have reduced water usage on their spacious Fair Oaks home by 33% from late June to early November, according to records released by the governor's office Tuesday. The details: The district also discovered a significant leak in the property's irrigation system.  "They fixed...

    Friday Boredom: When a man should or shouldn't cry....

    Omicron

    This thing spreads so fast, by the time it's detected in a location there are probably dozens of others with it.  The person in Hawaii hadn't even traveled anywhere recently.

    Video of Better.com CEO Laying Off 15% of Workforce

    Great sympathy to those affected, but am I the only one who LOL'd harder than anything else this week at 1:24 in the vid?

    Omicron

    Doesn't make a lick of sense, since they're not pronounced remotely the same.

    Housing Analysis

    A few weeks ago there were zero SFRs for sale in my city.  I haven't seen that before in over 20 years of tracking this market.  There are 2 right now for sale, one of which only so because it fell out of escrow.

    How is workplace?

    Where did I contradict myself?  Everyone is an individual, and a higher % of younger individuals are "out to lunch" way more than the % of older folks.  I'm not micromanaging.  I'm not managing anyone at all; not my job.  We have core hours where everyone is expected to be at work, wherever that...

    How is workplace?

    Who says I don't have any reasoning behind it?  I talk to the people who assign them the work they're supposed to do.    There's clearly a higher incidence of "wfh malaise" with younger people than with older people.  Not being online, not returning calls, not responding to emails, just plain...

    How is workplace?

    We have a mix of wfh and on site.  Some of the wfh folks, especially younger workers, have minimal value.  Not entirely their fault.  Can you imagine graduating from college and trying to get OJT while sitting in front of a computer at home by yourself?  And then again, some I think find WFH...

    INFLATION IS OUR FRIEND

    I told my wife that a couple months ago.  If you're on the fence about something, just buy it.
