    ICE or EV?

    I picked up a new Model 3 two weeks ago. Absolutely my favorite car to drive. So quiet, smooth, and efficient. Tesla service has been exceptional with fixing a few details. They gave me a free loaner with free super charging while they work on my car (paint stuff). Now I have two Teslas in...

    How important is a college education?

    It depends on what your view of the role of college is. If it's a tool to launch a professional career and increase one's value as a contributing member of society, then completing studies highly focused on the theories and practical applications related to the intended profession is quite...

    Toll Brothers is building another community in the Great Park

    Seems like Elevate is moving along steadily. Only about 20 lots left as of now out of 82. https://www.tollbrothers.com/luxury-homes-for-sale/California/Elevate-by-Toll-Brothers-at-Great-Park-Neighborhoods It doesn't seem like they've pushed prices up much, if at all, in the past few months...

    Recommendation for front load washer

    I've had an LG front load washer/dryer for about 10 years. Still works great. One of my friends purchased a front load a year or two ago and said the newer designs fix some of the problems of the old ones. The biggest problem with my front load washer is mold will accumulate in and around the...

    How low can we go? 30 yr fixed at 3.75% with no fees...

    Lol, yes you're right. My literal bro, who is a tech bro in the bay area sitting on big RSU gains, experiences the effects of this. He is on the missed out side of the homeownership equation in his favorite city, Los Altos. Despite his solid performance and tenure at a well known bay area big...

    Scroll Redfin or Zillow for a bit. There's been a lot of price drops lately, even in Irvine. I expect it will continue in the near term.

    EV/Plug-in/Other vehicles

    In the time it took you to type that post you could have googled the source of electricity generation in China. China used coal to generate 58% of it's electricity in 2024. China emitted 5,640 metric tons of CO2 emissions in 2024, the most ever on record in a year...

    Economy and Climate Change

    You know what confuses me? Science tries to predict the high temperature for the day on the morning of in my local city. Sometimes it's accurate, sometimes it's off by 5+ degrees. Meanwhile, scientists are so sure they know exactly what the temperature is going to be for the entire planet...

    The joy of dealing with EDD for unemployment insurance

    A sign of TDS is when you blame orange man for something he has nothing to do with. The EDD is administered by the glorious state of California. The irony here is the EDD paid out over $20B of fraudulent claims during the pandemic, but now they're having trouble administering a legitimate...
