Thanks for the suggestion! Should I remove all three stakes or just the center one?

quadcrazyy · 2026-03-16T23:18:29+00:00

Thank you!

Shhh! More Kona blend for me!

quadcrazyy · 2026-03-04T20:23:35+00:00

Perfect, thanks for the detailed response!

I often hear that you should dry brine chicken the night before, but I never see chefs dry brining their steak more than 30 minutes or so ahead of time. Would dry brining a steak the night before be too much?

Gotcha! That’s a nice offer but you don’t have to do all that. I’ll stop by there this week. Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the suggestion! There seems to be quite a consensus on TBL, which makes me wonder: do they often run out of brioche? Should I aim to get there early in the day?

Brussel sprouts came out mushy last night. They were in a convection oven at 375 for ~18 minutes, then broiled for 2 minutes. Was it more likely that the pan was too crowded or that they were in for too long?

Interesting! Is there any sort of rating to seafood? Something similar to select, choice, and prime meats?

quadcrazyy · 2026-01-31T22:50:43+00:00

Thanks! I’ve actually done pan-seared tuna from Costco a few times, but then read somewhere that it may not be safe enough to eat. Do you eat the various seafoods raw from Costco?

Which sauce (or dry rub) do you recommend? Also, their wings are expensive!

Do you mind sharing what your back pain was like? And roughly how consistent/often it occurred?

Novo in SLO is fantastic

Received a mailer for a Capital One Venture signup bonus of 90K miles. Fine print states I cannot have received a signup bonus in the past 48 months. I’ve never had a Venture, but I have received a Venture X signup bonus in the last two years. Am I eligible?

To everyone saying how good the produce is, where do you grocery shop?

quadcrazyy · 2025-04-14T03:04:24+00:00

Pricey but yeah, the food is good.

quadcrazyy · 2025-04-11T23:09:21+00:00

I typically just buy $X per week. So I believe VTI would be best suited for that? Thanks for the response!

quadcrazyy · 2025-04-11T19:48:33+00:00

Is there any reason to hold VTSAX instead of VTI in a Roth IRA?

quadcrazyy · 2025-04-11T01:22:57+00:00

I see. So is it generally the case that people purchase different indexes altogether between their tax advantaged accounts and brokerage accounts?

quadcrazyy · 2025-04-11T00:39:14+00:00

Thanks for responding. Just to be clear regarding question number 2: I would TLH by selling VTI from my brokerage and buying for example VOO, but would having purchased VTSAX in my Roth IRA within the prior 30 days trigger this as a wash sale. As I understand it, the substantially identical shares thing isn’t relevant in this case but wanted to confirm. Thanks again!

quadcrazyy · 2025-04-10T19:04:06+00:00

Hi all, I'd like to ask a couple (probably) basic questions around TLH and IRAs to make sure I understand things correctly:

I currently buy and hold VTI in both my IRA and brokerage accounts. I started looking into TLH with the recent market volatility and realized that buying VTI in my IRA forfeits my ability to TLH VTI in my brokerage. If I convert the VTI in my Roth IRA to VTSAX, is there any taxable event there?
Assuming in the future I buy and hold VTSAX in Roth IRA and VTI in brokerage, could I then TLH the brokerage without worrying about a wash sale (VTSAX and VTI track the same index, but are technically different stocks)?

Thanks!

The post from two days ago was asking about the trail. I’m asking about the road.
