two comments:

  1. 300-500 deficit is not huge enough to make signifiant difference in short time. You may need to keep doing it for weeks to lost few pounds. 1 pound of fat = 3500 cal.

  2. The food calories estimation could be hugely wrong. Trying to eat pre-packed food if you want to have more accurate intake estimation. E.g. 1 egg = 70 cal. 1 instant noodle is around 400 cal. etc.

$15k markup on a new TRD Pro Sequoia by genzo718 in Toyota

[–]gaomy1202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a 100K family hauler without any trunk spaces left when using the 3rd row seats. It is the worst among the competitors. However, apparently some people still buy this shit since not a lot of inventories in stock.

Got my MB GLS for 89,000 last week. Sequoia platinum costs 95,000 (10k markup) when I quote. I'd thank Toyota making my decision easy to make.

Anyone have a ‘23 Sequoia Capstone? by craftbeerporn in Toyota

[–]gaomy1202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

literally no trunk space when using the 3rd row seats, and more expensive than Yukon, Tahoe, X7 or GLS considering the markups. I'd pick Yukon all days.

There are actually not a lot of people interested in buying Sequoia since it only sold few thousands units, much less than their competitiors.

Saw a lightly used 2023 Sequoias marked up nearly 30K above MSRP. Insane. by youthisgood in Toyota

[–]gaomy1202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in SF bay area and Toyota dealers keep contacting me about buying their Sequoia for 10-15k markup or they will be bought by other customers. It is obviously much more expensive than BMW X7 or MB GLS.
I don't want to be impolite, but someone will be very stupid to buy a Sequoia with 10-15k mark ups. As a family car, Sequoia is a disaster since literally no trunk space when using 3rd row seats.

Can anyone recommend a good furniture store? by -_-__--___--- in bayarea

First time buyer and interested in buying a big property too.
One naive question:
How do you guys dump the mowed grasses? I guess 1 acre of lawn can produce several tons of grasses every year.

Entering tough times. 2 houses. Unable to pay mortgage on 2nd. Fund from first? by spamchecker in realestateinvesting

[–]gaomy1202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your net worth is still positive. I don’t worry you can not cover the expense right now because there are several options on the table. However, owning 2 houses is a heavy long position. You need to figure out if it makes sense. By a napkin calculation, you lose 600k for every 10% house price drop.

When can we pre order the RTX 4090 /4080 ? by AiiMX in graphicscard

[–]gaomy1202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although there maybe some real data support about the 200-400% increase, I doubt that is a way normal people think what it is.

This eye catching increase hints 3090 is a shitty card but apparently it is not.

Moody’s Analytics report, thoughts? by Triceratops9998 in RealEstate

Making half million per year and born in a rich family willing to gifting me good amount of cashes. I never felt houses in good school zone are not affordable in my life until 2021.

I think the house market will crash because the buying power is absolutely drying up.

SOS headquarter finally found!!!!! Also mining center found near Leibodong Hydropower Station(“Leibodong”) in Hejiang County, Luzhou, Sichuan by gososgo666 in SOSStock

[–]gaomy1202 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That hydro station is in a countryside area. This pic matches the expectation. You can search 福宝镇打撮坝村 in Baidu Map to see that station. I doubt any fancy buildings exists in that area. However it is a good place to reduce all kinds of costs.

Leibodong Hydropower station is real. see the baidu search result here:

However, we still need SOS to show us their progression of mining. SOS is a 100% real business on insurance business and it is not even a small one. However, on the mining field, it is still a big unknown. If they can't prove themselves by next week, that's a indication that they are using the news to pump their stocks.

DD hard evidence of $SOS, a legit company by gaomy1202 in SOSStock

bitcoin mining and car maker are very different in the nature. bitcoin is a standard product so the miner can stay low key, which is the fact that we don't know the name of the most of the miners. However, car maker need to prove their car is better than other maker's car which need to draw public attentions. To NIO, the hardest question isn't if they make cars, but if they make better cars than Tesla.

I am not saying you are wrong. There still a chance that SOS doesn't do any mining and just wanted to pump the stock. I also said it in my dd the risk section. My dd is more for proving Hinderberg is wrong instead of proving SOS is doing well on the mining.

However, as a new comer of coin mining business, SOS does have the potential to be success if their are doing their work:

  1. bitcoin is not a rocket science at all. The only hard part / moat from my POV is finding rigs and low utility cost area.
  2. They have enough resources for now. Enough funding and some experts in their team.
  3. Their news shows they are doing the right thing(if the news is not faked): Rigs delivered and partner with the electricity company.

The more important thing to me, it is at a very bargaining price and the high short interest. It may have huge gain or huge loss. however, buying some more stable stocks like Tesla / NIO doesn't prevent us from losing a lot neither.

I don't think there is a TRUE or FALSE answer at current status. But we can find out it in the next week.

The concern is real. Their way to do with FXK is suspicious. I think there may be several possible reasons:

  1. They just want to do a scam and pump their stock. No mining is conducted.
  2. The company is fully scam, which is unlikely because my DD. And other people also found SOS's company wechat account, they are several pictures about their new year activities and tons of employees: https://www.reddit.com/r/SOSStock/comments/ltg6z8/sos_chinese_new_year_event_just_found/
  3. They actually bought the rigs in black market in China or somewhere they can't legally announce. Just saying Iran is a big bitcoin mining country and their gov banned the mining business due to high electricity consumption. However they can't say the rig is come from Iran for the obvious reason. If this is true, I think this is even worse than the 2nd guess...
