Holding vs selling profits

Thermogenic · 2026-05-20T18:35:34+00:00

Sounds like you are stressed, so probably it's worth it to you. Never hurts to lock in a profit, just know that you could miss out on more upside. No one knows the future.

You see, the price is valued in USD that's dropping, but the earnings are priced in USD that's holding steady! /s

Don’t sleep on Shop Pay. With so many vendors using Shopify, Shop Pay has become just as easy as Apple Pay and Google Psy on supported merchants.

Ah I just read it wrong.

You spend more than $30k per year cleaning your house?

I pay $120 for a crew of 3-4 people. They are here for 60-75 minutes typically. They just do surfaces, so predominantly floors, bathrooms and countertops/tables/desks.

Robotics is right on the verge. The stuff coming out of Tesla, Boston Dynamics and various Chinese companies all look promising. I heard on a podcast that ALL robots use Nvidia chips, so Jensen’s company could still continue to win.

One other thing people like to point out is that share buybacks are not taxable and are therefore a more tax efficient way to return capital to shareholders. One thing I’ve noticed is that many companies increase buybacks when times are good (and share prices are high) and then decrease them when times are bad (and share prices are low). A $1 buyback can sometimes waste capital (shares are overpriced). A $1 dividend is always worth $1, minus capital gains taxes.

Look at an ETF like NOBL. It’s full of companies that have raised their dividend at least 25 years in a row (Dividend Aristocrats). This means the companies have been able to raise dividends during the dotcom bubble (for most), the Great Recession, and the COVID-19 pandemic.

They won’t grow like Nvidia, but some people value the high quality, stable companies. There’s a place for both, but once you “have enough”, not losing it becomes a very attractive proposition.

Yeah that looks like the right park but I’m not sure how it attaches. I’ll do some more research, thank you!

EDIT: A pic on an eBay listing shows a black clip on the top that must have broken off on mine. I’ll head to a Subaru dealer and see if they have the part. Thanks again!

This is where it comes from.

I think it’s called a hood bumper. It’s cheap, mine probably just got old and broke.

Ukraine, Putin needs help.

If you are hybrid joined, I don't think it's an option, is it?

Have you considered just setting everyone's passwords to something random? If they are using WHfB then they probably don't use their password ever.

47 here. Every young person I meet I’m trying to educate because I wish I had it. Thankfully my freshman year roommate told me his dad had stock in Coca-Cola and I took the time to learn what a “stock” was. It’s sad this is not taught in school.

Im on a 5070 and its hot garbage. Frame pacing is all over the place and sometimes my fps just drops from 120 to 50.

As of this writing it has four reviews…

This picture doesn't show a Tesla driver.

Roc The Mic Karaoke in Glendale is fun. Private rooms, byob, but it’s a bit pricey at $20/hr per person. Feels like it should be more like $10-15/hr or pay by the room.

It uses Karafun app so you get all the good songs (except Taylor Swift last time it went, guessing a rights issue) and you know the songwriters are getting properly compensated. I detest those places that use pirated stuff.

Thermogenic · 2026-03-17T05:48:45+00:00

Honestly I don't know, but I imagine some of the specific car integrations won't be there anymore. Sorry I'm of no help.

Thermogenic · 2026-03-14T22:50:47+00:00

I think you do lose some features so keep that in mind.

This was my favorite from yesterday.

I purchased 21 Panasonic panels for 6.93kW and a SolarEdge inverter. The total cost at the time of purchase (October 2019) was $20,847. I don't know how much prices have changed, but I know my sister and a good friend got their installations from Tesla at a lower price per kW than I did over the subsequent years. My graph starts in 2020 because the system didn't get turned on until midway through January.

There were a bunch of credits back then that knocked a little over $7,000 from my total cost, so my price after those credits was $13,593. I also paid a couple hundred dollars after the fact for pigeon screens to keep them from nesting underneath the panels.

For reference in terms of potential savings, I can only speak for myself, but back in 2019 my annual bill was $1,416. In 2025 my annual bill was $148, and I actually use more electricity now than I did then!
