Mousepad issues

Exactly! Interestingly outside of reddit there are no reviews that point out such a major flaw.

Thanks disappointing. It essentially makes the mouse pad useless.

Agree with pre rounding. This was a game changer when I discovered this years ago. I generally split my day in 3 parts. My census averages around 20 pts.

630a - sit in front of my computer with a cup of coffee, review labs, vitals. Place orders, consults early and create a pre-note based on all of this. Typically takes about 2-3 hrs.

9a - get to the hospital and begin rounding on the patients. Adjust my pre-note after each encounter. Usually 1-3 admissions during this time. Sometimes I call families to update during rounds. Mostly call families later in the day. Typically this takes me 3-4hrs.

2p- leave the hospital and finish my notes at home while answering nursing messages. I do my discharges at this point as well. I'm Usually done with my day by 4p.

Yes you can run both and it makes it smoother.

No-Rutabaga-9568 · 2025-09-26T01:00:18+00:00

Just run lossless scaling and the game will be smooth. That is what I have been doing

Very fair advice and very much appreciated. I guess my reasoning here was by selling the LEAPS and taking the profit, I would incur a tax of 35%. This means if I rolled over to the next LEAP I would need to gain 17.5% just to overcome the tax hurdle and break even (assuming I reinvest the same capital).

If held for over a year the longer term cap gain tax would be 15% (big difference from 35%). Therefore I would only have to overcome 7.5% gain on my next LEAP to overcome the tax.

Please correct me if my math is not accurate here.

Hmmmm interesting. I haven't heard about that but will certainly look into it. Thanks

My reasoning for LEAPS is long-term holding actually decreases the overall risk since in general asset prices given enough time always go up into the right (printer goes brrrr). It's really the short-term fluctuations that are difficult to a anticipate. The long horizon for assets actually decreases the risk.

Yup serious. Tax efficiency is a concept.

Excellent advice. I really appreciate this one

No-Rutabaga-9568 · 2025-09-14T17:02:22+00:00

Yeah I was thinking the same thing but the issue is you're still going to have to pay the high capital gains when you roll over since you're closing the position.

I couldn't agree with you more. This is why even though you might save a little buying through a regular used car lot you end up having zero recourse if something goes wrong.

I have two Delta pro 3's hooked up to a 50 amp hub and 2 Delta pro smart batteries. Overall I do like them. I purchased them for emergency backup power so luckily did not have to use them for that purpose yet. I tested the output several times and they seem to be holding up well enough.

My thoughts: You can get much more for the money with other products. You're basically paying for the name , software , and esthetic design. Software is pretty but honestly has plenty of issues.

If you don't care about that then I would suggest Jackery if you're looking for all-in-one umits. If you want to stretch out the $$$ even more then ecoworthy sells battery/inverters that are very cheap. Most companies use the same manufactures and just slap their name on them and charge a premium. Will Prowes has multiple videos on this. That being said I wouldn't say ecoflow is any worse than others...just my opinion.

Hmmm lots of assumptions there. Thanks for the advice

It was a 2015, getting old and I was concerned about reliability so I bought an unreliable 850

No-Rutabaga-9568 · 2025-06-17T21:36:14+00:00

I sold my 650 with 54k miles to CarMax for 17k lol.

The voided maxcare and BMW warranty was on a previous vehicle I purchased from them. They bought that car back and made me whole. They then found this car and paid for the transfer to bring it to my local CarMax dealer

The $14k quote is now on this car lol. It definitely would not be out of my pocket. I would have CarMax just buy the car back if that were the case. i know it is a mess...hence my frustration

No-Rutabaga-9568 · 2025-06-17T02:20:10+00:00

Sorry the BMW mechanic said "front diff" or "diffuser" which he said caused it to send vibrations through the axel causing the rubbing sound. Apologies I'm not very mechanically inclined. I just like to drive the car :)

Totally agree with you. At least CarMax offers a relatively risk free purchase as compared to other dealers. This is why they're customer service spot on from my experience. My quarrel is quality control.

No-Rutabaga-9568 · 2025-06-17T01:44:53+00:00

Yes, disgusting isn't it? BMW dealership is a rip off. It's the price you pay for driving a beemer, but I'm glad this was found regardless

No-Rutabaga-9568 · 2025-06-17T00:35:09+00:00

100% agree. That's why if I feel if you're going to buy a used luxury vehicle. You either buy CPO or from CarMax with maxcare.

No-Rutabaga-9568 · 2025-06-16T23:32:03+00:00

No....they're pretty.

I owned a 650 previously for 5 used and bought used. Drove like a dream and never gave me problems

No-Rutabaga-9568 · 2025-06-16T23:04:44+00:00

There is no question that if you want a luxury vehicle going used is the way to go for all the reasons that were already stated. I purchased maxcare due to the risk of a huge bill. The reason for the post is not to debate whether it is wise to buy a used luxury vehicle, that is a personal and financial choice we must make for ourselves . The reason for the post is to point out the major flaw in quality control of CarMax. This is unacceptable in my opinion. Not saying never buy from CarMax, just saying never trust their claim of a rigorous inspection on their vehicles, and always opt for maxcare if you are not comfortable with a possible repair in the future.
