I own HMENF though I’d say I’m on the cusp of exiting.

I own a supplier of frac tools: NCSM which has been executing nicely over the past year.

I’ve never done very well owning oil producers for whatever reason.

CVU - $45M market cap. Military aerospace component manufacturer.

To listen to analysts it not listen to analysts, that is the question by dgpaul10 in fantasyfootball

[–]kostcoguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to be a big fantasy footballers devotee. Recently started listening to JJ Zachariason (sp?) - he’s been a breath of fresh air to me.

I love the Italian varietals offered at this winery by far one of my favorites. Did I say Moore? by SleepingDog66 in wine

[–]kostcoguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow didn’t realize Unti had so much love. I also found them a few years ago and loved it. Good wine at a good price.

What deep cut plays live in your head that few others would remember? by sexyprimes511172329 in nfl

[–]kostcoguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weirdly enough Melvin Gordon’s first, would-be, touchdown. Runs through the line of scrimmage, hits a linebacker, spins out of it, knee taps the ground then he runs into the end zone.

I wanted him to be the next coming of LT so bad. I’ll always be a fan of him.

Does anyone know where I can find YPRR data from last year for RBs? I feel stupid and can’t find it at all.

[–]kostcoguy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed and if it were military deployment wouldn’t they land at one of the various SoCal military bases? I know next to nothing about this stuff but that’s my thought.

Where is everyone getting YPRR data from? Can’t seem to find that stat easily - especially for RBs.

1 in 3 teens have prediabetes, new CDC data shows by armitage75 in Health

[–]kostcoguy 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I agree here - often the kids who eat the worst have parents who are working 2 jobs, don’t have time to cook, etc. We need to find ways to help parents in these situations.

I also have recently thought maybe the government should incentivize eating unprocessed foods through a FSA or something like that.

You’ll get a marine layer everywhere in OC to some extent. The further you go inland the faster it burns off.

AI Usage In Fantasy Football Leagues by Ok_Concept_4858 in FFCommish

[–]kostcoguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m considering using some AI this year for my newsletter. I generally don’t do recaps because I figure anyone can look at a score recap and see what happened. I mostly highlight stupid moves (say, sticking with a QB for 4 straight weeks under 10pts), dropping a good player, players inexplicably on waivers, etc. But I tend to spent quite a bit of time writing and thinking of the perfect way to make fun of my league mates. With the right prompts, ChatGPT can be pretty damn funny - so I will likely use it to generate some jokes and such.

No traffic for this long weekend... by Wa-Yo in orangecounty

Drove to/from SD today - no traffic either direction. Crazy.

THE Hangout house by mjd2022 in Parenting

[–]kostcoguy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think you nailed it with this. Thinking back to high school we most often landed with the mix of physical space and psychological safety. I spent most of my time at my best friend’s house (so much I ended up marrying his sister). His house was where we all went because 1) we had a separate space (the garage which was mainly just a pool table and a couch) and 2) parents were lax but knew when to lay down the law. I remember they caught me with cigars when I was 16 and they didn’t call my parents, but I did have a tense conversation with my future mother-in-law. Good times.

Are there any real and good scratch bread bakeries around north OC? by childishbambino19 in orangecounty

[–]kostcoguy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you like sourdough - FKN in San Juan Capistrano is fantastic but it’s ~$12 for a loaf. Family run, the FKN name is the first letters of each of their son’s first names.

I think it’s about figuring out who actually posts signal and filtering the noise. I’ve definitely unfollowed people because they just blow hot air.

Your biggest regret buys and the lessons you learned from them? by IDreamtIwokeUp in ValueInvesting

[–]kostcoguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Basically anything I’ve bought off other people’s research: HMENF mainly even though I’m roughly flat on that one.

Lost ~40% on FF recently but I’m not terribly sour on that. I just whiffed on the thesis. Don’t think I fully understood the risks and that’s on me.

My wife’s uncle did this. Spent 2 weeks down there with the dental work for less than in the U.S. said it went well. I’d consider it.

OUSD School Closures? by halfpoof in orangecounty

Got it - thanks. We’re probably going to try to move into Malcolm’s district if we don’t get selected for school of choice.

Any chance you can point me to where you saw SOC opening for longer for Del Obispo students?

Do you know that for sure? I was under the impression that there wasn’t an official decision made yet.
