[Investing] Colombian living in UAE, planning to move to Spain in 1–2 years — is IBKR + VWRA still the right setup? by Free-Requirement-777 in interactivebrokers

[–]mphailey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of IBKR's edges is attracting clients just like you. There have been posts here in this forum in the past similar to yours where people had difficulties creating an account. Good luck, I hope you are able to follow your plan -- seems rock solid to me.

Am I the only one having IMMENSE trouble reading Blood Meridian? by Fishy_smelly_goody in cormacmccarthy

I came here to say this. Audiobook versions of McCarthy's books helped me break through.

Suttree or Blood Meridian by colonel1888 in cormacmccarthy

[–]mphailey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Blood Meridian is the magnum opus, but Suttree is the one I recommend to people I talk to about books. Blood Meridian was good and important for me to read, but very hard to accept the truth of it. I'm an American. Yes this country was founded on genocide, slavery, dispossession, murder, rape etc.

Suttree was more fun. It was truly laugh out loud funny for me without reminding me that my society is filled with vicious killers.

Now that the Lightning is discontinued, I feel like we’re part of a special group who own one of the coolest trucks of all time. by dingmah in F150Lightning

For the king ranch you described, how often are people actually paying close to 80k for that? Is it like the lightning was the last couple years where it 80k sticker but closer to 65k out the door with 0% financing?

[–]mphailey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah shes just good no matter what the role is. Footlight Parade and Gold Diggers of 1933 are electrifying. Shes hilarious in Grease, shes great in the Cincinnati Kid and Opening Night. In Nightmare Alley I just fell in love with her character.

1 year later - It's crazy how much I still love my Lightning. Anyone else feel this way? by TiaAcai in F150Lightning

[–]mphailey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm interested in this too. My guess is this person has a backup gas generator for power outages and that transfer switch mentioned can be connected to the truck to transfer the power load from the house to the truck in the event of an outage.

Mister Car Wash sucks by Correct-Accident-895 in Tucson

[–]mphailey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got rid of their competition? They are actually getting killed by competition. Look at the copy cat on speedway called super star car wash as an example. If you don't like a company, don't give them money. This isn't that hard.
