If base taycans had an OK range i'd probably buy a used one now. Can't see myself shelling out 45k for a luxury car that only gets 180 miles at best though.

Haha. It was TwentySomethingWEquity 15 years ago. I was able to change it when the site changed, but now i'm stuck. You're right, i'm a bit out of the 30s now, but just a bit. It's a common expression, but sure I'll be more civil. People should pursue the life and work they want, I don't...

Well, I moved to Foothill Ranch, and I'm pretty happy. I'm close enough to be able to work for a Silicon Valley team that gives me gobs of stock,but more importantly, I get to work on really cool things. I certainly couldn't do that working from bumfuck Georgia. It's pretty cool to be able...

Why do you think the Irvine prices are higher? Maybe because...more people want to live there?

yup, I've had multiple jobs where my team was up in Santa Clara/Sunnyvale, and I've been able to quietly work from remote offices down here, since it's such a quick flight when necessary.

I think you are vastly overestimating the importance of 'how hard a school is to get into'. There is way more variation between how rigorous a particular undergraduate program than just an aggregate acceptance level. This much focus on college is probably a waste. No one is impressed by...

So you're saying it would be a good time to be in the market for a 6M teardown flip?

Macan EV looks awesome. I don't think people who drive gas cars on the daily realize how inconvenient going to the gas station can be. An EV is definitely fantastic for a commuter car. If I had my dream stable, I'd have an EV for every day driving/commuting, a 911, and *maybe* a gas/hybrid...

I tried The Cut recently, it was good but quite pricey. My five year old son had never eaten a 'bone' so I had to order the bone marrow for him. Fries were $8. The double smash burger was $14 and didn't even come with fries but *damn* it was tasty. If you're rich, you should go here a lot.

Also I think the cybertruck looks bonkers cool. My son loves them too. I won't pay $80k+, but if it was ~50k I'd be pretty tempted.

no, but I really just want to be able to hit my spotify playlist from the app without paying $8 a month. I can do that from my wife's VW with apple carplay...

I really don't like having to pay for premium connectivity though.

I thought shake shake was pretty tasty. I like how they fried the meat (but not *too* much) and I liked the seasoning on the beef. Is it worth the price? Maybe? I'm not going to go there more often than Inn & Out, but it exceeded my somewhat low expectations.

Marble Steakhouse KBBQ was pretty damn good. I guess they were orignally a fancy steakhouse, but that didn't go well? (Does anyone know the story here?) I don't know much about Korean BBQ, but I took my five year old son there and he and I absolutely loved it. I don't think I've ever seen him...

Merry Christmas Everyone. I really need to change my username since i'm not in my 30s anymore (nor even last year) Work has kept me busy, along with kids and all that. I'll try to post here more often as I love SoCal and I credit the original IHB forums for having a significant impact in my...

you have a 3 car garage in OC, in a newer house?

Haha it's hilarious people remember how bad Graphix's predictions were. Even worse than larry! I like this list quite a bit, it was very close to what my wife and I looked for when we bought in 2020. 1. We ended up with a four bedroom plus huge open loft upstairs, one bedroom downstairs...

I interviewed at Netflix, and even though I didn't get an offer*, I can say they were my favorite place to interview and seemed like an *exceptionally* well run company. I can't say enough good things about them, and was impressed by everyone and how easy they made the process. *I didn't...

Both of those companies have rehired up to the headcount of where they were during the layoffs, so that analyst would be wrong. Did/do these companies have *some* deadweight? yes, of course, hence why they do fire under performers, and when the economy can justify it, trim some fat that maybe...

Tell me the per profit per employee of Twitter/X and then tell me the per profit of Alphabet and Amazon. Elon clearly screwed up by firing too many people. You realize they're desperately trying to hire now right? You can go to the jobs page to see. Many of those roles posted are not just...
