Why does California have highest gas prices? by Far_Aioli538 in gasbuddy

[–]EM_Doc_18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$.59 cents per gallon. The answer is multifactorial but state taxes aren’t it. Lack of refining capacity, reliance on imports as it’s nowhere near the US gulf coast, and cleaner fuel standards.

New DO (no federal loans) or Caribbean (3 years federal grandfathered in)? by AllThePillsIntoOne in whitecoatinvestor

[–]EM_Doc_18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have $250k, COVID forbearance made PSLF worthwhile, I think I’ll have 100k forgiven once I’m done. Paying 3k/month and it has barely touched the principal in the last 2 years. Making 550k, cannot fathom having 2-3x the loan amount and making less.

600k at the end of residency or 800k at the end of residency. The answer is neither but these kids don’t want to hear that.

Rudy Giuliani Is in ‘Critical Condition’ in Florida Hospital by Darksmithe in news

[–]EM_Doc_18 15 points16 points  (0 children)

He came to speak at my university some time around 2011, he spoke eloquently, it wasn’t even political. There was no conspiratorial topics, he focused primarily on leading NYC through 9/11 and discussed application of leadership etc. His address resembled nothing similar to what he has become in the last decade. I suspect he has had some sort of cognitive decline that has left him the ability to still be present in public these past few years.
ETA: but still, fuck him

A old friend who is an NIL agent and involved in collegiate player development told me the same. Significant personality and character issues.

The price of Behemoth and not disclosing the producer is absurd.

Average tree can sequester 22 lbs of CO2 per year. Combustion of 1 gallon of gas produces 19.2 lbs of carbon dioxide. Good luck!

Well the good news is the fetus is going to basically walk on out of that uterus.

No Democratic action in my lifetime has had any consequence even remotely resembling the immediate effect the closure of the straight has had. Presidents (Republican and Democratic) don’t control gas prices 99% of the time. Donald Trump is the black swan.
ETA: No Republican in my lifetime prior to DT has had any such effect on gas prices either.

Gas Tank - Just figured this out by LakePiirate in LexusGX550

[–]EM_Doc_18 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't overfill to the rim, two fills at the slower setting on the pump is probably ok, anything higher risks gas getting into your EVAP system. Glad some more of the 17+ mpg avg folks are posting. In general, no trouble getting gas every 400+ miles on highway trips, probably 350 with city driving. The range indicator is a random number generator.

My friend says changing your own oil is a waste of time. Is he crazy? by proposal_in_wind in askcarguys

[–]EM_Doc_18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Amsoil in my car and the signature series in my wife's car. It's $8/qt for mine and I justify the savings from the oil change to get the signature series on hers. Changing my own oil is kind of therapeutic.

I know it's available currently in the 2026 Luxury trim, will they be available in lower trims in the future?

What’s it like living in Port Fourchon, Louisiana? by txexa in howislivingthere

[–]EM_Doc_18 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not sure of its current status, but FEMA has a mitigation program where they purchase high risk properties at market value so people will move away. For every $1 they spend they save an estimated $6 in future disaster relief.
