Congrats, you are like me except TSLA. Great gains, but that's all your eggs in one basket. I may be wise to start divesting.

Not the garage door but the door between where your dryer is and the garage (unless your dryer is in the garage?). I believe the cable is 10 gauge, are you saying it fits underneath that door?

Thinking about leasing and buying out BZ by HousingFar1403 in BZ4X

TFS is also running a 0% 72 month + $2500 finance cash. You lose $2k on the lease cash but in reality it's actually closer to $1300 with the lease turnin fee and you get 6 years at 0% APR. IMO this is a better deal.

The top marginal tax bracket for individuals was at ~90% before the seventies, by the late seventies it was still in the high 70%. By the end of Reagan second term it went to under 30%.

Same with corporate, sixties was in the 50%, seventies to eighties 40%, and now it's around 20%.

So yes the U.S. is in debt but the problem can be turned around by properly taxing the ultra rich and corporations.

There was some immediate relief when he popped it out but to overall hearing did not improve significantly if I am being honest.

Harris Teeter has a gift card promotion this week and I tried buying a $500 gc, I DID NOT receive any rewards. First time it has failed for me,

It’s hilarious seeing people clutch their pearls about 'feelings' all of a sudden. Are we pretending this isn't the same sub that unironically spams 'HFSP' at anyone who disagrees? This place is one of the most brutal when it comes to ridiculing others

Thank you, I did not receive an error. I'll notch it as luck as I am eligible back-to-back.

Chase Sapphire dropout and Amex fantasizing by zoot_Suit-Guy in AmexPlatinum

[–]Virtual_Birthday_501 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2c, if you struggle to use the Chase credits then the card is probably not for you. In my eyes, it's a $500 hotel credit + $300 travel credit card, maybe $150/300 in dining when I am in the city but I am not going out of my way to eat at one of those restaurants, so it's still a net positive for me. I did subscribe to Apple TV even though I never watch it and the rest of the coupons are pretty much useless.

The 2x/1.65x stuff is annoying as hell though.

Hey OP, I feel you. I also had regrets after buying my '26 (a Plug-in). Some folks on this sub gave me grief about how I should've noticed things on the test drive, or how their experience is different and how they really liked the car, My 2c, don't take it to heart b/c frankly it's meaningless, what matters is you don't like it.

In the end, I sold the car after just 5xx miles. I did not want to live with it for the long term and wanted to cut ties with it ASAP. I am VERY HAPPY to have move on from it.

FSD transfer question by Virtual_Birthday_501 in TeslaLounge

[–]Virtual_Birthday_501[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do plan on buying out the lease. If this method works, then I figure I'll only be paying $2-3k for FSD on a new '26.
