My office is ~8 minutes from Fashion Island. I decided I wanted to eat some ice cream while looking at the pacific ocean, so I did that at lunch a couple weeks ago. My wife and I went to Javiers last Friday and got to eat guacamole, sip jalapeno margaritas, and look at the ocean. I don't...

Panda is like the guy who marries one girl, but keeps a photo book of the girl that got away under his bed. Yes, you can ask your wife to dye her hair and change her outfits, but it still doesn't look like the girl in that photo...

Panda, your statistics are awful here, of course a city that has the population of UCI, a bunch of people who moved in 1970, and a hundred thousand apartment renters, is going to have a lower *median* household income than a small, new city filled with homeowners. You can't make *any* sort of...

Even if one can move to John's Creek and not worry about finding lucrative work, there's still the question of if your children are going to end up nearby. Here in OC, there are so many jobs in OC, LA, or even a 40 minute flight to the Bay. In John's Creek, I think the kids are gonna want to...

i hope people can have nuanced opinions on various topics here. - Deporting illegal immigrants is probably the right move, but having federal agents detaining randos because they look Mexican is pretty bad, and I don't support it. - Bombing Iran, well *now* is the time to do it when Russia...

I just don't know if that scene will head to Mastros in Irvine when it's just not that far to Crystal Cove? Or maybe there's enough business lunches that are paid on the company dime that it matters less that it's not as fancy of a location?

Man, woodbury is a mess these days and there's nothing really convenient from the Great Park. So weird that people are going to spend 2.5M plus for a sliver of a yard and a tiny amount of space on each floor.

whaa? Where? That's a lot of Mastros, will they close down the one in Costa Mesa? Also, if I'm going to pay $70 for a steak and $18 for a martini, I'm just going to drive to Crystal Cove so I can at least get an Ocean View with it...

hah, know the next door neighbor who has a way better lot. Crazy, his house must be worth 5M. The floor plans are interesting too...

Depreciation in electric vehicles is overstated because of the new rebates/incentives. If you can buy a new car and get 7k off, or a used car and get nothing off, of course that means your used car is now worth *waaaay* less than the sticker. But that doesn't' really matter because you got a...

If you're buying a home, sure. If you're just washing some money and/or playing the speculation game, maybe that tilts the odds to some other development or option. I do like the whole office + downstairs bedroom. Less of a fan of the single giant great room. My wife doesn't think it's an...

Damn, i'm finally agreeing with LL, I think the market is coming down and will continue to come down: Stocks are down and a lot of us middle class folks keep (or kept) their down payment in the market until ready to buy. Second, a lot of us tech people are paid in stocks, so with my company...

right, it's impressive tech, but Waymo drives like an Italian cab driver on his fourth espresso. It's not 90% good, it's fucking *amazing*.

If they crack self driving, or somehow find a way to charge customers for licensing fees (maybe possible? Old teslas are shockingly reliable, maybe people would pay money to get software updates), or they make a robot and license their tech or something, maybe the stock will shoot up again...

I like my Tesla, I wish I worked there in 2018, but I dunno man, the stock is bonkers high. I think if the stock stops climbing, Tesla is going to have a *real* hard time keeping talent there. It's easy to work crazy hours and worship at the alter of Elon when your RSUs are 3x (or 10x) the...

I thought the side yard had a nice view for a minute...

Morekaos how are your tesla shorts doing these days? Or did you join the TSLA gang?

"MIT teacher" is quite different than "teacher' and "graduated from MIT"

Good call. Jim Cramer just wrote about how he's not bullish on Alphabet (GOOG) anymore, which is awesome because of course that means GOOG is going on a rally the last two days!

They kept the same recipe, no? Sal's is almost the same as NY Upper crust, which bought some of the old NY Upper crust locations. That is easily my favorite 'take out' pizza. Angelina's wins for my favorite fancy pizza (RIP mozza), but Sal's (formerly NY Upper Crust) is *awesome*. An extra...
