    Covid

    I just found out my neighbors (retired couple) went to a small Xmas gathering and every person who attended caught COVID.  2 of them died in the same week, including the husband of my neighbor couple.  I know my neighbor was not vaccinated.  I suspect most others who attended weren't either...

    Dow?

    I love it when limit orders set weeks or months earlier trigger near the lows on a reversal day like today.

    Renewable diesel (different from biodiesel)

    True for cars, maybe.  We'll have to rely on real world (google) observations for my truck, since the EPA doesn't give it a rating, and they indicate a gas engine gets better mpg than a diesel, at least when not towing.  When loaded up, though, the diesel is where it's at.  I can triple my gross...

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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?

    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.
