It's been about a year since I posted about Yieldmax ETF's. Over the past 3-4 months the market has been doing well, so the fund price has been stable and investors are going ga ga over the distributions. Since have even taken HELOC on the house or used leverage to buy YM funds, claiming that...

Went to Hako last night and found DooRe Korean restaurant has been replaced by "It's Tofu": https://www.yelp.com/biz/its-tofu-irvine Since we already decided to eat at Hako, I didn't try the new place. Will go there next time. Hako was busy as usual, line out the door even on Monday. I was...

If I have to commute for my next job, I'd seriously consider trading in my Lexus for a Prius Prime.

IMO they should advice everyone to fill their gas tanks (if applicable) and stock up on bottled water and ready to eat canned food. If you're not eating the canned food, donate them at least 3 months before "best use by" date. But since it's for emergencies, you should taste test the food...

Every since Samsung discontinued the data migration tool and rolled the disk clone feature into Samsung Magician, they've dropped support for various old drives. Previously you could clone them to a Samsung SSD, now they just show as unsupported. So it's back to Macrium Reflect. The free...

Still alive!

The tofu bread at Nijiya market (Torrance/Gardena) is quite good and I believe they're around 10g carbs per slice. They bake the bread on site. Service was excellent and the bakery staff sliced it for me out of the oven and hand delivered it to me in a different section of the supermarket...

https://7japanesebbq.com/ https://7japanesebbq.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/04-Arlens-Edit.pdf Located at intersection of Barranca and Culver, I believe they took over the former Islands building. This is a Korean owned AYCE Japanese BBQ, Sushi and Yakitori restaurant. They offer $50 and...

The timing seems very... coincidental with the Trump-Musk split.

What is that barrel like thing on the right??

A few updates: * I downloaded and paid for the app "Shuggah". For whatever reason, when I setup a new sensor, I have to go enable "developer settings" and edit the blue tooth entry for new sensor. But Shuggah is better than Stelo and will display readings above 250 and below 70. * My...

I called on Friday afternoon and didn't have to wait long. Monday mornings are very bad (long wait) and you need to call in as soon as they open.

It's been over a month since I've been laid off and I have yet to see a single unemployment insurance payment. Called in to ask what the issue was, said I didn't look for work in last week of April so they have to setup an interview to ask why. (No interview was actually setup or communicated...

/me compare QE/QT chart to home prices

Being unemployed, I've moved my cash position into QQQI and SPYI to earn better interest to offset expenses. When I get a new gig I will move the funds back. Hopefully the stock market doesn't nosedive, this type of fund might not handle big crashes well.

* I finally got around to try Carbonaut bread, found it for sale at Sprouts for $10. It's $6 at Target but I think you may have to order it. In terms of taste and texture, I give it a thumbs up for low card bread. Need more time to evaluate impact to glucose levels. * Took a celebratory...

Trump's EU tariff threat created another buying opportunity. I'd like to buy UHN at $285, but $295 is good for today. With Medicare fraud case(s) pending, the stock faces rocky road ahead.
