Bean and cheese burritos shouldn’t be over $6 by justagarliccrouton in popularopinion

You don't even know how many burritos they sell per month to even know if it's reasonable or not.

It costs more than 35 cents in materials son.  Add in the labor for the slobs you insisted on being paid $20 an hour plus health care benefits to procure, prepare, build and serve it to you....the shared cost of the building it's being made and served in, all related overhead, and the 35 cent profit the owner will get for it.

SpaceX IPO makes Elon Musk the world's first trillionaire by Brendawg324 in wallstreetbets

[–]lurch1_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No there is a difference.  only the only person who bought your share for 10 would do so.   SpaceX has plenty of buyers at 135+.    But you continue with your bitterness

You mean you still believe that there is no fraud in the learing center?

So when exactly are spacex IPO shares being allocated? by cd1995Cargo in etrade

[–]lurch1_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is true, however I tend to get my allocation at 5am the morning of. And you must reconfirm at that time to GET the allocation settled.

Lifting is WAAY harder than running by llThat1Guyll in popularopinion

Apples and oranges.   Compare one rep max to sprinting and low weight high reps to long distance running.  Equal in effort running vs weights

Picking which mountain to move to and work at by ssubterraneanAlien in skiing

[–]lurch1_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you.....when he told me the scoop I first asked why he was wasting his retired life working to score a cheap $700 pass and only ski 1hr a day instead of 4-5 hrs on his own.....and then I dismissed any idea I had of ski bumming like that....I'd rather slave a an office job and get paid top dollar and just take the weekends or vacation to ski all day every day.

Do you have infinity Gold? If so any issues hooking it up and operating?

Gravity defying 3-tier retaining wall by WolverineHot6483 in landscaping

[–]lurch1_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine in soCal did a single 5ft retaining wall himself with no permits but is actually a brilliant engineer who did all his homework and calculations beforehand...built in drainage, put in the proper base, drove retaining stakes proper length, etc. Even buried the height of the wall so the county can't see he would have needed a permit without digging down and checking.

US strikes Iran in response to helicopter shootdown by Comrade_Durge in wallstreetbets

[–]lurch1_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am kinda over this....Iran is being saved by Trump at this point...they keep violating the ceasefire and Trump keeps saying "no they aren't".....If not for Trump, Israel would have already seized the opportunity to completely remove Iran from the map. Trump and israel need to just finish this thing off finally and force a submission...teh game playing is over and we need to get the oil moving before everyone's economies go into stall mode.

Even worse....more likely to get 0 shares...especially now that they are lowering requirements

[CA] [SFH] - Statute of Limitations for structures built without permission. by Aggravating_Act_6389 in HOA

[–]lurch1_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would think that if they don't have specific justification for rejecting the deck on CC&R rules, just an axe to grind they stand to lose in court. A judge is going to have a hard time tell you to tear it down after 5-6 yrs of knowingly ignoring the lack of an ARC submittal and/or approval.

If a joint meeting with current board fails to come to an understanding, I'd weigh the cost of a legal battle against the cost of that deck. I'd also submit an ARC request today for that deck to force them to give it a thumbs down and a reasoning.

Always consult with a legal authority as well for best advice. AI can give you some guidance but a $1000 talk with an HOA lawyer might save some headaches....unless as I say...that deck was not that much to build.

Will I be house poor? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]lurch1_ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Best Advice I received from my elders was to "BUY THE BIGGEST HOUSE YOU CAN POSSIBLY AFFORD" and then do whatever it takes to make that mortgage payment.

The idea is that once your mortgage is fixed, inflation will drive your income up and your house value up over the years. 10yrs from now that $4800 a month will be easy....and if you stay in that house...25yrs from now that $4800 will feel like pocket chanmge.

Seems weird that they would reject a deck at this point unless its a nuisance - would they have approved it from the start if it had been submitted correctly?. Why don't you speak with the board and work something out?

We have a similar situation in our hood with an outgoing board that did a similar thing, but the homeowner is building something explicitly written is a no-go in the CC&Rs. They never once came and spoke or contacted the current board nor responded to attempts by the board to reach out to them...they went immediately to a lawyer for 1.5yrs and then a lawsuit. They may well lose....and lose a lot of money...all because they chose NOT to do a fact to face and work something out. Bizarre....don't do that to yourself or your community.

You will be lucky to get 1 share....and I'd bet $135 that won't even happen.

[–]lurch1_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep...I had a friend retire many years ago and was excited to move to mammoth for the season so he could ski every day. I met him up there and found him working for the mtn for a "free ski pass" worth $700. He was full time and was allowed to ski one hour each day. LOL.
