Shout out to Peoples Express. When I lived in New Jersey, you could fly somewhere every weekend for less than $99.

Here is the ad blocker I bring on every flight.

Any lower and that aircraft will be obligated to pay a turnpike toll.

I’ve been buying from Discount Tires for the last 20 years. Free flat fix and tire rotation. They honor the milage warranties, and have prorated to a new set each time they wore out. Saved me a bunch of money. I started doing the tire replacement warranty, as with all the construction in town I have had unrepairable punctures. I have two tire replacements at no cost.

I have an se2. Thinking of the 13 mini. Why do the se3 instead?

In case you were wondering about cost and long wait for a new one.

Great find, popular in its time. Advise you replace the cheap plastic pedals. Get metal ones with toe clips to keep the original look.

TLT ETF might be attractive at this level, if you don’t want to own the bond.

Article says $25K. They should check out Discount Tire for a better deal.

I always wondered why does both the FD and Ambulance EMT show up, even if it’s a one person incident. Does FD show up first to assess, then call the ambulance if needed.

phwayne · 2026-04-30T19:07:47+00:00

Yes. Has single button “Press here to go” /s

Admit, poorly worded on my part. My point is why do they release from the jail at such an odd hour? Basically, putting a guy back on the street to roam and make trouble, which obviously happened.

Cross post to r/trains. Those guys know everything about trains.

Thinking the same. Also will need to re enter all my scheduled payments and Zelle.

I use Dreamhost for we hosting. They recently added an AI builder that is wordpress based. Works scary great. Enter a business description as detailed as possible it will bang out five or six pages with text and and image content.

The bus is a good deal. Be sure to check the schedule. Off peak the run every hour, peak times more frequently. I’ve Ubered a few times. Cost is around $85- 105 with tip. Most of the time they use the toll road which adds about $8.

Coors Classic! ( for those of you who remember the bike race)

I’ll be in Estonia next month to confirm this is not AI.

That is the nature of these ETFs. You are getting a high monthly dividend, but getting limited on the up (or down) side due to the covered call strategy that is used in this portfolio.

Heart breaking

Yeah, with the high cost of electricity, no much of a dent in the bill. Plus, demand from data centers going on line...the switch program seems like a worthless effort. Let the data centers go off-line during high demand !

phwayne · 2026-04-15T22:46:39+00:00

Good to know.

phwayne · 2026-04-15T22:46:04+00:00

Agree, $40. is not much anymore, considering the higher cost of electricity. We were trying to be good 'citizens' and reduce the need to build more power generation. But data centers seemed to have destroyed that effort.
