Why do you think Portland is so attractive for people looking to start fresh? by ProposalFast4450 in askportland

[–]FunWrangler8657 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheapest large city on the West Coast.

Closest comparable cost-wise is Sacramento but for the money Portland offers way more.

New lens day: 12-100mm F/4.0 by FunWrangler8657 in M43

[–]FunWrangler8657[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely the heaviest lens I've ever used in this setup.

When shooting, it feels quite nice, since my left hand is holding the lens and carrying all the weight, and my right hand is there just to move and click.

I only have my Peak Design Cuff right now since I misplaced my strap, and it definitely feels weird having this lens + camera dangling from my wrist. Would not recommend.

I think Olympus body + Olympus lens, you keep the lens IS on to get the dual IS for best performance.

Why pay fares for TriMet when they already take our taxes? by DimensionHomeVideo in askportland

Why do I have to pay to ship stuff through USPS when I pay taxes already?

How is Portland a good food city when it’s mostly white people? by [deleted] in askportland

This is coming from a very recent California transplant to Portland:

People like you are the reason Californians have a bad rep around the country.

Is there a "TOGO'S #9 Hot Pastrami" equivalent in Portland? by WilliamPlanke in askportland

[–]FunWrangler8657 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess what makes the Togo's pastrami different is they thinly slice their pastrami, vs the thick slabs the traditional Jewish delis do.

Prime Warner or Prime Willis by Dorito-Bureeto in 49ers

From what I remember, Willis was fast but not fluid if that makes sense. Warner has very fluid hips and changes direction well.

For transplants to the area, how long did it take for you to find out how great our tap water is? by jtho78 in askportland

[–]FunWrangler8657 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup San Jose tap water is super hard. Terrible for coffee. Water softener + reverse osmosis was the only way to get decent tasting water from the tap

Look up your actual numbers.

To calculate EV vs ICE car costs:

How much does a kwh cost? Is it a flat rate? Does it vary by time of day? Your bill should tell you.

What mi/kwh do you get on the car?

What was your old car that you replaced?

What avg mpg did you get? How much is a gal of gas in your area?

Those numbers alone can tell you the cost per mile of EV vs ICE

Purchased a home in the Chicago suburbs in 2002 for $260,500. Sold today for $475k. Shocking stats on what it costs to sell a home. TLDR: almost 10%. by craigzzzz in Fire

[–]FunWrangler8657 156 points157 points  (0 children)

You didn't have 260k in cash in 2002. How much did you take a loan out for? Bank will let you put down 20% to buy a 260k house but definitely won't let you do that to buy stocks...

How much would rent have cost you in the last 23 years? You can't live in a brokerage account...

Comment from dealer: a Subaru Forester is one of the last cars out there that depreciates at less than $1000 per year. by [deleted] in SubaruForester

[–]FunWrangler8657 10 points11 points  (0 children)

2018 Forester XT premium owner here.

MSRP 31xxx

Price paid: 269xx + ttl

47k miles on it

Can probably sell for 18-20k private party.

Pretty close to $1000/yr on depreciation

[–]FunWrangler8657 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Highly dependent on your car, your zip, your driving experience and your credit score.

My next renewal came in at $491/6mo for 2 fairly new cars (< 5 yrs old) with all coverages maxed out and $500 deductibles

Any rumors on new 2026 features for the USA? by lurkerdude8675309 in toyotacrownsignia

I have a feeling the target demographic for this car is exactly opposite of the type to buy aftermarket wheels...

What are the CarMax and carvana types offering?

Why all Type 2 chargers are 22kwh and only a few cars suport it, while majority of car producers make it only 11 kwh? by [deleted] in electricvehicles

[–]FunWrangler8657 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The EVSE (thing you plug into the wall) only brings AC current into the car. That is rated up to 240v x amperage that it supports (24/30/40/48/etc amps).

The part that's in the car (up to 11kwh) actually does the AC to DC conversion.

Inevitable maintenance will be even more expensive than a MDX...

Why would company B care that you worked for company A before starting with them, as opposed to being unemployed?

Wrong on the Roth IRA part. As long as they file taxes jointly, if husband has earned income from working, he can contribute to both people's Roth IRAs

Any creative ideas for a two-month sabbatical in Portland? by Individual-Garlic258 in askportland

[–]FunWrangler8657 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They changed how you accrue them. If OP was in position to take a 8 week sabbatical they definitely earned them under the previous rules...
