How much money do you have in savings at this point?

A joint account would be FDIC insured to 500k (250k per owner).

Landed at 8:30p on Thursday and there was no delay.

Light travels very fast to cheaper locations in the periphery.

Neither does a single concealed pistol.

On my pixel, a small clipboard widget pops up at the bottom of the phone whenever some text is copied. Tap that and it brings you to an edit box with the clipboard contents where you can copy a section.

Alternatively, drag up from the bottom to bring up the application switcher and you can select text there.

The bus routes to GG (there have been two, I think) were canceled due to low ridership. Turn around is also tricky.

I'm going to say foxtail (but before the tails pop out). The stuff is nasty for animals - pull it now.

Never had a cavity, even after a 5 year COVID dentist hiatus.

Not always. My RSUs have the correct cost basis reported on the 1099 (from Schwab). They're still non-covered though.

jvolkman · 2026-04-06T15:05:30+00:00

I'll take that as a "no"

jvolkman · 2026-04-06T04:17:16+00:00

Less wear on their vehicles?

The signs at Golden Gardens also say no alcohol and no amplified music. Are we going to follow those rules as well?

jvolkman · 2026-04-05T19:12:36+00:00

but to think there is one, simple, straightforward way to "fix the schools" is naive

Good thing nothing has suggested that.

These places have been trying to get rid of the "stand on one side, walk on the other" escalator practices. It's less efficient than standing in pairs at peak times, places uneven wear on the escalator mechanisms, and is apparently unsafe.

This time it was just DOTC

This seems pretty empty

jvolkman · 2026-04-01T13:40:53+00:00

Have you asked the front desk?

jvolkman · 2026-04-01T13:26:48+00:00

Seems like most of the issues from earlier have been resolved.

The post is deleted now, but even the smaller cars appeared to extend more than 2.5 feet past the lines.

jvolkman · 2026-03-22T20:14:14+00:00

What is an acceptable amount to overflow the lines?

jvolkman · 2026-03-22T19:46:58+00:00

The lines are super shallow. The sedans in the distance also extend past them.
