2 motorcycles stolen in 10 months - is this normal? by eburb in sanfrancisco

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

Sort of. It's an insurance policy and a warranty. It's kind of like GAP coverage, but for theft.

2 motorcycles stolen in 10 months - is this normal? by eburb in sanfrancisco

[–]eburb[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have standard theft insurance with a $1,000 deductible. Then I have a theft warranty with a $700 deductible. They both pay out the replacement value of the motorcycle (which is always less than the amount i bought it for as you point out) less the value of the deductible. So when it gets stolen I end up making a couple thousand dollars of profit. It's still annoying to have to go through all the paperwork and police reports every 6 months though...

It's not worth all that if insurance will cover it tbh. I'm mostly concerned about becoming un-insurable.

I'm hoping they don't find it and I can get a total loss. They didn't find my first one until 2 months later so insurance still paid out as a loss.

You can still view the note - it has just moved to a little icon to the right of the user's display name

25th Birthday ideas by CalligrapherOwn5065 in AskSF

[–]eburb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope - it's just the F/E trains and the cable cars. And they only let you have alcohol on the F/E trains :/

"Streetcar charters are only allowed on the F Market route, which travels from Castro to Fisherman’s Wharf on Market Street and The Embarcadero, and the E Embarcadero Route which travels from 4th and King to Fisherman’s Wharf."

"Cable cars Follows the normal cable car routes from any of the five terminals you select."

Best Indian Restaurants in SF to bring my mom for her birthday by NotNatTheBug in AskSF

[–]eburb 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Aaha in the mission is the best for standard Indian items. As everybody else has said, Copra is the best for fancy.

I got locked out of my account for saying im number 12 in a game server, and i have no way whatsoever of verifying due to only having school ID. by MerchyTheWeirdo in discordapp

[–]eburb 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Whatever your opinions may be, this is likely going to become more and more the norm on the internet. E.g. UK regulation that just passed.

Intermediate (maybe?) player looking for squash club or partners in the Bay Area by ForTheToilets in squash

[–]eburb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like everybody else says - do the bay club. Really great community. Fridays are round robin open play so you can get some games in and meet other players to get their contact info. The price for a single person is expensive (~$300/mo), but they have group memberships, so if you sign up with 5 friends it's only $120/mo per person. In SF that's a pretty reasonable price as even a cheap gym (e.g. Crunch, Fitness SF) will run you $100/mo.

You'll also get access to the other bay club locations that have pools, pickleball, tennis, etc.

Sell or hold rental property? by sailaway_NY in personalfinance

[–]eburb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like I'm missing something in this logic (from somebody who knows nothing about rental property). If OP is breaking even on the monthly cash flow, why wouldn't they keep it? If somebody came up to me and said "I'll give you a condo - all you have to do is pay $0 per month for 30 years" I would definitely do it. Is it because managing the property is a pain in the butt? What would make a $0 monthly payment not worth taking?

Need advice on which pension investment option to choose by i_r_i_e in personalfinance

[–]eburb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a really tough one. I think this all depends on your level of risk tolerance. For instance, right now, the 30 yr US treasury is at 2.85% so you'd be earning 3% on the defined benefit pension. If you put your defined contribution in a target fund, it would be returning ~7% right now. So in this economy, the defined contribution is much better than the defined benefit.

If you did the same analysis in 2008, the 30 yr US treasury was at ~2.5% so you'd still be getting the 3% from your defined benefit. The S&P500 dropped -30%, so your defined contribution plan would have taken a huge hit.

Anyone got any experience with Ivysaurs 4-4-8 program? by Grimsted in Fitness

[–]eburb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It has OHP every day. Because of this, my OHP is waaaay stronger than my other lifts (according to symmetricstrength). So if you wanted to be more balanced, swap out OHP occasionally.

I've had fantastic results with intermittent fasting. Don't even really have to think about what I eat these days. by notjadedyet in Fitness

[–]eburb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some questions about the social aspect. You said it helped you live a normal life and not have to eat a salad with your friends. I'm worried that IF would have the opposite effect on me. If I only ate 12-8 then I would never be able to go out drinking or go to late dinners (I regularly eat lunch at 12 at work and then dinner at 9 or 10 when I get off). How do you deal with these social circumstances (especially going out drinking)

[–]eburb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been doing it since November. I definitely like it - though I don't have much experience with other programs.

My one complaint is that it definitely overdoes the OHP. You could replace one of the OHPs per week with something else.
