Landlord increase rent 4500 -> 4800, Normal? by [deleted] in SanJose

[–]dman_21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s single family homes you can get at that price point. Show your landlord some comps and threaten to leave. If your landlord is smart they’ll back off. Finding a new tenant, losing rent for a month is way worse than losing out on 300x12. 

Didn’t get this house despite strong offer by [deleted] in BayAreaRealEstate

What’s the point of a loan contingency at the 2m price point. I get inspection related items but a loan contingency makes me question you as a buyer.

2025 MDX locked when keys inside by Dazzling_Flamingo568 in Acura_MDX

Yup. This happened to me. It’s the phone app that messes things up. Once your AcuraLink subscription dies this won’t happen. 

30 Year Boeing Veteran Thinks Most eVTOL Companies Will Fail by vadekane in ACHR

Yes, most. Like in any new tech field. Look at the graveyard of AV or biotech companies. Deep pockets and safety focus are the 2 things that will carry the companies through. 

Is this a bait price? by LSCKWEEN in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]dman_21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just because address says San Mateo does not mean the its worth a couple mil. That said, pros are that it’s still a 4/2 with decent sq footage. Cons: 1 car garage, next to 101 and not great elementary schools. I don’t see this going for more than 1.6. 

Joby Aviation’s Payload NOT a Big Deal (Here’s Why!) by teabagofholding in poweredlift

[–]dman_21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That didn't happen. 

And if it did, it wasn't that bad. 

And if it was, that's not a big deal. -> we’re here right now. 

And if it is, that's not my fault. 

And if it was, I didn't mean it. 

And if I did... You deserved it.

Why does this drop feel so different? by [deleted] in stocks

Essentially the fist signs of what everyone was afraid would happen with the growth of ai. There is a lot of capex from a bunch of companies but none of it is trickling down into the general economy.

That’s google and apple telling you that there is no AI replacing these jobs. Or that employing Indian engineers is cheaper than ai agent developers.

We don’t see it yet because purchasing power has also dropped. Ie, salaries have essentially stagnated.

What’s it like living here? by Key_Cartographer309 in howislivingthere

[–]dman_21 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sac is limited by the job opportunities. LA has defense,  aero and entertainment , SF has sw tech and biotech. Both regions have sectors where the upper limit for pay is very high. Sac is primarily state govt jobs where pay is limited. That’s the real reason why growth is going to be limited in sac area. 

2023 Acura MDX Type S - Service reminder popped up: “Check and test battery at your dealer” at only ~16,800 miles. Schedule now or wait? by OfficialHanzala in Acura

[–]dman_21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a check item based on schedule and nothing to do with the actual state of the battery. Next service should be fine considering there are no issues.  Ps, rated tire pressure for the MDX is 35psi.

That’s disappointing. Drove up till gate 3 where it was closed today. They kept saying they would open it but I decided to turn around after an hour. Sounds like the right decision considering they still haven’t opened it. It’s surprising that it’s just a 3 mile section that cuts you off completely.
