    Insurance rates skyrocketing in California

    Could put the car under storage insurance when you know you won't be driving for long periods of time. That's what I do in the salty road months with my fun cars. Drops the monthly premium considerably. That is if you own the car outright (like me). A bank won't let you do that since they...

    Insurance rates skyrocketing in California

    If it makes you feel any better, your payments for 6 months are lower than my payments for a single month in Ohio. Two cars. No accidents or any tickets.

    I do have to have a short stand to get my line of sight dead center to the 77" display. It's similar to theater seating where you have to go up several rows to get a good line of sight to the large screen. In this case I'm changing the display height, not the seating height. The way I have it...

    That room is just for me. A "man cave" I suppose. If I want to watch with others, it's on another LG OLED in the living room.

    Intel processors crashing Unreal engine games (and others)

    One thing I can't shake is the lack of admission from owners of these CPUs that have encountered instability. Did these people just shrug it off on game crashes and just blame it on the game? When the Nvidia drivers crashed did they always blame Nvidia? Did they never run Prime95 or any other...

    Why does youtube has to show naked young women at the youtube home page ? Are they stupid ?

    McDonald's earnings came in. They describe the consumer as discriminating. That's code for "people unwilling to pay our hiked up prices".

    What is with the 'boomer' misuse?

    Any attitude from someone older that is considered obstinate, stubborn, or selfish automatically gets the Boomer label. It's spillover of the overwhelming negative connotations this generation exudes.

    I've been shrinking again.

    I like to tell people I'm 6 foot even. In reality I'm just shy of 5' 11". It's shrinkage if no prior precedence or official statement has ever been recorded. Now that word is out, by law, I'll have to update my driver's license. I once worked with a vertically challenged young man that...

    Intel down 10% today. Down 33% YTD. May be a good buy to hold if you believe in Pats long term goals. I may start buying. Their long term goals are being built about 20 minutes away from me.

    Imma let you finish, but my burrito bowl comes out to $14.40. This use to be under $10 not too long ago. $9.45 and $8.95 for your flavorless unfilling bowl is way too much.

    Chipotle earnings coming up. They describe the consumer as resilient. That's code for "people willing to pay our hiked up prices". Haven't been to one in over a year after seeing a single burrito bowl going for $20.

    Why does youtube has to show naked young women at the youtube home page ? Are they stupid ?

    It's tied to viewing history. YouTube knows you like that kind of content and expects you to eagerly click and enjoy such content.

    Credit card debt in the US is getting out of hand

    The truth in lending for auto loans was supposed to help consumers avoid predatory lenders. The problem is, Americans either don't pay attention or are ignorant to the information presented to them when they sign. 16% on a 72 month loan for a vehicle with a 20% markup? Show me where to sign.

    A line of credit also helps keep people in debt. An emergency fund in a money market or high yield savings is obviously the way to go. You'll earn money just letting it sit.
