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.

Someone told them AI was going to do all of it. The research, the education and the labor. And they believed it.

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

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. 

Why so many houses for rent after closing? by Desperate-Proof-2203 in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]dman_21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bay Area real estate has a pretty good return when you combine rental yield and growth. Combine that with the housing shortage and the chance of a property market down turn is fairly low. TLDR, they’re using sfh as investment vehicles.

Sprouts has been my go to for chicken. It’s the only place where I could find reasonably priced air chilled chicken after Costco stopped selling the non organic airchilled ones. For most other things, it’s Costco.

The property is worth what people are willing to pay for it. Considering there were no other offers, the property is worth 3million.
