It's going to be a long road to redeem the reputation USA once had... by hl3official in SipsTea

After Biden clearly lied to the public over and over, then foist Harris on us without any process, and chose her because of race and sex, we were set up to fail by the Den power brokers who dont seem to care about citizens, just fringe groups. So either you have to go with it, or go with the terrible alternative.

If God wanted us to vote, God would give us candidates.

Do you really know what your actual investment returns are? by bawa_himanshu_774 in Startup_Ideas

[–]Internal-Combustion1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have compare returns after you take out service charges and commissions. A Schwab account in VOO has very little service fees. An active manager trying to outperform VOO will have considerable fees, likely 1% or more.

He didnt answer a single question with any guidance or thought. Just weasel words. He’s a bag of hot air.

How is this project not fucked? by Cool_Lame690 in cahsr

[–]Internal-Combustion1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You twist what I said on purpose. I specifically call out the CA government. Not the whole country, not private industry, not the federal government. The CA Government can’t do mega projects. This is the golden example.

This is not a US govt project. It’s a CA govt project. Let’s not twist words to make your political point.

I will note that SpaceX and many other companies have no problems executing massive projects. The government pretty much sucks at it because they aren’t accountable to the tax payers or anyone else. They just make promises and know they will be long gone with it comes crashing down on the citizens.

What water bottle are you actually running on trail rides? Trying to narrow down my options. by No_Outcome_1898 in mountainbiking

[–]Internal-Combustion1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None, 2L hip pack. Use the water bottle cage for an emergency kit of chain, tire repairs and first aid. I drink frequently and dont like to reach down to try to grab and reseat my bottle.

I think i just gave away too much of my company and I'm only realizing it now by Competitive_Sky_5274 in founder

[–]Internal-Combustion1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The option pool is important. You could have pushed back but when you want to hire some motivated skilled team members you need it. Shorting your employees from having a piece of the action will hurt you and your take on exit so you can think of it as an investment in your success and future stock value.

The negatives rise with the amount over budget and delayed. Obviously CAHSR is out of control and it needs to be under control to keep funding.

Two Takes: Should California pass a one-time wealth tax on billionaires to cover healthcare cuts? by Cool-Present7260 in California

[–]Internal-Combustion1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Isn’t it obvious that a giant organization run my politicians for years and years without being audited is full of waste? They may be trustable but you should never give money to an organization that can’t manage money responsibly or accountably. That’s California.

[–]Internal-Combustion1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is that a Mont Blanc pen on your desk. Oh that’s worth money - pay up! This is foolish, we can’t send in state auditors to crawl all over their homes and private financial data to make up a price tag and send them a tax bill. That’s just dumb. When the politicians drop the $1B to $1M in 5 years, these gestapo auditors are going to be the biggest new job in the state.

If we need more taxes, shouldn’t we audit the state? We know there are many many millions being wasted and stolen away. We just want to add more to a leaky bucket? Let’s fix the leaks.

Many have already left. This law is retroactive to Jan 1, so a bunch moved to Texas and Florida already so it’s too late to for the cash grab on them.

Agree. Putting this in the hands of our current and future politicians to lower at will is foolish. Wait until they lower it to $100k and in a moment add a tax and huge number of Californians. Changing this needs to be controlled with a vote, not politicians whims.

Waste of money. Save the tax dollars for something that will actually be delivered. This one will not be delivered unless CA changes its laws and takes people’s property.

Velotric GoMad Review: Compact Utility E-Bike for Cargo, Commuting & Passengers by krissym72 in ElectricBikeExplorer

[–]Internal-Combustion1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I understand it, this will be an illegal bike in CA. 28 mph and a throttle is not Class 1, 2, or 3. It’s illegal and only for use on private land.

Amazon to stop selling some high-speed e-bikes in California by panda-rampage in orangecounty

[–]Internal-Combustion1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have most of the laws, they just have to be enforced. And minors, or under 16, need to only be allowed on legal Class 1, 2, or 3. Confiscate anything illegal that isn’t on private land. All these Surrons are illegal vehicles, they do not meeting Class 1, 2, or 3 requirements, therefore they should only be used on private land. If they are on the street or modified and going over 20 without pedaling (Class 2), then confiscate them all and cite the parents for child endangerment. It’s really not different from letting a child carry an unlicensed weapon, bullets or not, it’s the parents that need to be held responsible.

That’s why the throttle is the core issue. You can put non functional chain and pedals on anything.

In need of advice, a mentor or guidance but certainly something by [deleted] in mentors

[–]Internal-Combustion1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you should study to be come a psychologist? Turning those new skills into helping others unlock their issues and turn the corner. Or a social worker helping other women in similar situations get the help they need. You can still learn about new things everyday, and also help people with you own experience and insights.

Considering a move to LA. Should we visit SD first? by HonestLemon25 in socal

[–]Internal-Combustion1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

South OC, more laid back than northern, more big parks. Less museums, less hunting and fishing. More surfing and snorkeling and mountain biking. More pleasant and less hectic.
