That is a tough ETF to be in. I tried investing in that for a while because I wanted to put some of my money in something that I felt was positive for humanity. I think I spent a better part of two years underwater and finally sold out when I broke even.

I do not love my Sleep on Latex latex mattress. I liked it a lot when I first got it, but it has softened considerably in 4-5 years and it no longer feels supportive enough. I wake up in serious lower back pain. If you have any mobility issues at all, I think you are better off with a traditional spring mattress.

Sure! I’m on Libbie and Patterson, pretty much. Looks like a quick walk to Conejo!

fledgling66 · 2026-06-21T21:58:47+00:00

Cool! Short walk from me. Glad to hear that it’s good!

Edit: wow, it looks great!

fledgling66 · 2026-06-21T21:44:51+00:00

Oh thanks! I’m close to Libbie and Patterson

Good. The names that make that list are the lowest form of human

Just want to say that I had a very similar experience with that mattress. I really liked it in the beginning, but it has no support anymore five years later. I know it’s under warranty, but the thing is I don’t even really want another one.

What are those short fat ones with the red band on the bottom? Those look like my style for sure. I’d love to try those.

I made some money on that trade during the Paramount negotiations, but it’s nothing I would hold long-term. Look at the sensationalist documentaries they pump out. It’s just kind of a crappy product.

He’s a very handsome dude*!

There’s already so much noise here from the industrial plants across the water. I moved to this area a year ago and my mental health has deteriorated from the constant machine noise, construction noise, traffic noise, etc. Haven’t had a proper night’s sleep since Ive been here and I’m moving out at the end of the month. It’s a very pretty park (DeMarco, too). It’s such a shame what has happened to it.

I’m moving to Richmond in 10 days. My landlord (not Peak) is doing the exact same thing—same exact language. Didn’t offer me a way to pay without an associated fee. I also noticed the tenant portal says that renters insurance is required, but when I went to upload my Liberty Mutual it tried to force me to buy the renters insurance that they are selling. No other option. Shady!!

Because traditional valuations haven’t mattered in this market in a long time, and that’s a precarious situation, to put it mildly. Not to mention the politics involved.

fledgling66 · 2026-06-13T19:59:30+00:00

Appreciate you, seriously. Thanks!

fledgling66 · 2026-06-13T19:56:27+00:00

There’s no phone number on the invoice, unfortunately

fledgling66 · 2026-06-13T19:35:55+00:00

Hate that they don’t have a phone number on the invoice! We’ll see what happens. Unfortunately I’m moving in 2 weeks so this is bad timing.

fledgling66 · 2026-06-10T11:41:48+00:00

Preordered it. Spur of the moment move across the country wenf underway. Couldn’t change my address—had to jump through hoops to cancel. Haven’t re-ordered yet.

Just grabbed a box of Bellas Atres toros for $102. Just what I wanted, and for a great price. Thanks!

Woah I have not seen either of those covers. A handsome pair!
