I’m still seeing the Chinese mom. She invited me to go to Oakland Chinatown for pre-New Years food and shopping on Saturday. We go to a dim sum restaurant. Order about six things, came to $50. I get out my credit card to pay at the end, she says “no I invited you, you pay next time.” So I say...

Enough years have passed that Paul Walker would find his own death jokes funny.

Yah, I came from Florida and my parents still live there in a more rural gulf county. Their house has went up $100k or more in the past 5 years. This was from being worth maybe 125k before that. Mind you this is an area where 125k bought you a 2,000 sqft house on acreage with a pool.

It’s a big if honestly. I think it’s gonna be a long time coming. Now that the floodgates are open for dealers doing this it’s gonna be a hard press to ever get them to stop doing it. Then couple that with no end in sight to soaring manufacturing costs, the chip shortage that doesn’t seem to be...

One salesman I talked to even told me it’s ridiculous, the market sucks, and he said he doesn’t predict it’s going to end for 2-3 years. He said he can’t believe anyone would actually pay so much for some things on the lot.

Went and browsed some vehicles yesterday evening. I saw dealer markups as much as $20k over msrp and few lower than $5k. What wonderful times!

Saw what I thought was a reasonably priced new 2022 Genesis G70. Took a closer look and the sticker was asking $7000 over MSRP. Well nevermind.

Understandable! I was “of age” for nostalgia of this movie, but I guess I largely ignored it at the time. The only thing I really remembered was Daniel hitting the wood and his hands being bloody.

Um, it’s a horrible movie. Taste is subjective, but really, it’s awful. The acting is horrible, the tertiary actors are horrible. It’s incredibly hackneyed and oh so 80s — Silver couldn’t be more of a stereotypical bad guy — he dumps dangerous waste for a living, the slicked back hair, the lame...

Watched the third movie last week. I haven’t seen it since it was probably new. What a turd.

This is very much a thing in the Bay Area. Less about fancy vs. not fancy, but more about potential pain in the ass travel times over short distances. Like living anywhere but SF and matching with SF women — nope, ain’t no pussy good enough to bring me over the bridge with any regularity. I’d...

That machete is also garbage. As someone who has cut miles through dense forests with a machete. It’s not nearly long enough. We used to use these exclusively: https://www.allenprecision.com/24-martindale-machete Comes unsharpened, so you grab a file and spend 20-30 minutes getting it into...

I texted the aforementioned lady on this past Sunday afternoon and asked what she wanted to do on Monday since I knew it was her day off. She texted me and said her ex was unavailable to take the kid that day, so would you like to meet me with him? (He’s three.) The exact text she used was “do...

I totally forgot he even had a son, as did the people I watched S4 with. Just finished this season tonight, it was a reasonably fun watch, but I didn’t feel like it was as well done as some of the past seasons.

Instead of buying it, I did the streaming game thing for a month for $10 or whatever it was Then I’m going along and meet some guy in game, and he starts rambling on out of nowhere about how hard it was to be transsexual in the military. Oookay. Other than that, seems to be a pretty typical...

I actually ended up getting 8 as a lot of people said it was a good one. Controls with the 3d aren’t half bad really. I put it on my iPad and pick it up here and there.

I’d heard that kinda thing before, pretty funny. I have some Chinese coworkers as well (this is the Bay Area after all) and one of the older guys is like that. Reminds me of this:

Of course. You thought I wasn’t for some reason?

I’ve went on three dates with a Chinese woman (32) who lives here in the US. I am not an Asian chaser at all and wouldn’t normally date anyone who speaks very rudimentary English. She was married to a Chinese American guy and they have a kid who was born here so I’m at least happy she’s...

I’ve got a 2g bar for the novelty. Cute lil thing. Horrible way to invest — the markup is gigantic — but fun. Here’s the one I got.

Yeah that was me. JM bullion is good, SD bullion is good. Then some bought locally.

I just played dq2 on a long couple of plane rides and an additional few hours at home and finished it. Brings back memories of playing the original on NES. Well done port. Think I’ll do another one.

So I’m on vacation in Florida (I live in California) to see my family. I was on Tinder and Bumble trying to meet up for a drink or a hookup (and mission accomplished with someone else) because I’m bored at nights when my parents go to bed. I’m talking to this woman from New Jersey who was also...

Its current resilience is pretty interesting. Usually whenever the market tanks it has tanked along with it over the past several months.

It’ll go up, it’ll go down. I’ve got 80,000 and I’m not gonna do anything with them. Hopefully it’ll hit a few dollars in the next several years.

Big TrueBit movement today for some reason.

Wat? The base hybrid is like $23k or something. What other truck do you get that cheap at the moment? And even optioned out it’s like low 30s.

I’m really considering getting a hybrid Maverick optioned out. I hate the fact it doesn’t have AWD but do I ever have a use for it? Not really.

Interesting theory. I’m not sure if I think it’s accurate to what they do. I know they’re not the greatest company but surely they have a bevy of savvy tax folks. Also I can’t see anything crypto law affecting a game currency, but again fascinating to ponder. Thanks for the background!

Wat.

Surprisingly real. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/food/2021/11/10/arbys-vodka-crinkle-fry-curly-fry/6367852001/

A friend of mine was deer hunting in knee deep swampy water. Saw something following him around making a trail in the water. Eventually it got too close and he fired his 30-30 into the water. Turned out to be a river otter. Could have definitely hurt him had it bit.
