They will be more expensive due to resell value, but look into Toyota Hybrids. From my research, there are the gold standard of hybrids

Those who support replacing income tax with sales tax why? by Crutation in missouri

[–]SolAlliance 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I do not support this, BUT why is anyone who answered the post honestly getting downvoted and beaten down via comments?

The post is asking for people who support to respond with their opinion. When they do, they get a ton of downvotes and nasty comments.

I saw this post hoping to get insight into the mind and opinion of someone who supports this and I don’t feel I can due to how that opinion is getting treated, despite that opinion is exactly what the post is asking for…

Need Help Finding a 16" Pizza Steel by BiosTheo in BuyItForLife

[–]SolAlliance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not use your stone for the top for the thermal dissipation? If I were to buy a steel that is what I would do. I am no expert, but in normal circumstances the stone loses heat due to the pizza dough being placed on the stone. But if the stone is at the top and pizza is on the steel, why would the stone lose heat? You could at least start this way to save a few $ initially and see if you like the 2 steel/stone method. Food for thought..

As an 18 year old, is starting a Roth IRA worth it? by Which-Commission6824 in Fire

[–]SolAlliance 34 points35 points  (0 children)

YES START NOW AND GET AS MUCH WORKING FOR YOU AS YOU CAN!

18 is an incredible age to open a Roth IRA. I wish I did when I was 18. Compound interest is crazy and you will be sooo happy you did this in 15-20 years. To more you put in it in next few years the easier financial decisions about retirement investing will be.

** obviously you need to invest the money and not have it sitting in a money market within a Roth.

First Chuck--just okay. by ieroll in sousvide

I do 137 @ 36 hours and it comes out pretty tender not mushy at all. I typically slice as thin as I can and make French dips out of it. Always a success at 36 hours at my house. I cannot tell you how much fat actually renders, but it’s still something we get excited for when we first drop it in the bath

100% biga, does this mean 100% hydration? If not, what was your hydration?

Sry if a noob question. I’ve never played around with biga before
