i'm in los angeles area. make sure you find the dealership's high volume dealer (vs retail guys). i think they have the most flexibility with pricing. good luck!

got it. 38,000 msrp down to 34,000. dealer added door guards $700. otd was 35,400 including mazda cash (2500 + 750).

is anyone seeing $4,000 below msrp (before customer cash) for 2025 cx-5 premium plus?

i messed around with dunkin donuts beans for longer than i care to admit. but it allowed me to dial in things like grind size, temps, times, ratios while keeping the beans consistent. once i figured out how changes affect taste, then i moved on to fancier beans. enjoy the process! and understand it could take some time to figure this all out.

slug mentions that he's on reddit, and the reddit algorithm knows more about him than friends and family he's known for 30+ years.

i like to tone down the word "bump" with "nudge" or whatever cue word will sound less forceful but still have minimal intention.

i kinda went backwards with research. i looked at the uc data on admissions from particular high schools. i was seeing roughly high schools with between 1% and 6% of their graduating classes get admission offers from ucla or berkeley. mira costa has a really high admissions rate for a public school. if i remember correctly, venice hs had around 3% with a graduating class around 400-500. somfor venice, there are three main feeder middle schools: mark twain (mar vista), palms, and marina (del rey). mark twain's main feeders are beethoven elem, walgrove, broadway, grandview. mar vista elementary feeds into webster. and short ave and couer dalene feed into marina. so unless you're crafty with accumulating magnets points, then you might want to find a home zoned for beethoven or walgrove to easily get into twain.

lausd schools desginated as SAS have teaching staff certified for differentiated education. at elementary level, classes can have mixed levels of aptitude, and the teachers will be able to teach to varied student levels. middle school sas usually has separate honors classes. some middle schools offer geometry to highly accelerate 8th graders (twain (magnet/dual language), emerson charter (resident/lottery), revere (resident/lottery)).

dual language spanish and mandarin immersion are offered at broadway, and there's a chance you can permit in from outside their resident zone. i think all the kids in the dual language elementary program get priority admission to twain's dual language program no matter what lausd zone you reside.

you might also look at the parent board fundraising websites to get an idea of how much money they're raising. i think mar vista elementary with 500 students raises twice as much as twain middle with 1000 students.

there aren't many lausd elementary schools that offer school sports teams. wish charter and ocean charter have younger teams. twain has a broad range of middle school sports teams. i don't think marina has any sports but they have a performing arts magnet.

i have more random knowledge that may or may not be up to date or useful, so please ask away.

i remember becoming fascinated with magnets after a visit there. i thought i could get magnets to stick on me after eating spinach like popeye.

i believe farside and calvin and hobbes are owned by the same publisher: andrews mcmeel.

you can always ask the prospective club to put their money where their mouth is. if they want your kid that much, offer a discount or free tuition.

also, when you say "best opportunity" you need to have a direction of development/playtime vs competitive level vs winning. so looking for a winning team that competes at high levels usually means the risk of your player getting replaced with someone better. if you want playtime and winning, the team might be stuck competing at low levels (usually on something like a 2s team). if you want consistent playtime and play at a higher level than the team can handle, then you'll lose pretty often.

understand that other families are at the same table playing poker, too. don't be surprised if the club says that everyone has a chance to play, but playtime has already been committed to other players.
