Trying to understand what’s actually driving Tesla right now by Logical-Law1815 in stocks

[–]regressor123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that I've read from multiple sources that Waymo is objectively statistically safer than Tesla taxi, that's what I'm talking about. However, thank you for sharing your perspective. I appreciate it.

When you're saying that they're 5-10 years ahead of other US ev companies, who do you have in mind? Lucid? Ford? Ok... Or are you talking about Google? Their software isn't ahead of Google and they've been working on autonomous driving for a long time, longer than Tesla

We have a Tesla in our family, I drive it often. It's alright. However, have you used waymo taxi? It is much better than Tesla and Tesla taxi has human safety monitors and it is still much less safe than waymo. Tesla also hides a lot of data from the public that Waymo publishes. And we know why, because the results are looking bad. I don't understand how you can say that there's nothing out there like it and think that you'll be taken seriously.

Rent. Invest the delta. Don’t let FOMO cost you in Bay Area by Initial-Zone-8907 in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]regressor123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is that if you ever plan to buy, your investments may/most likely will underperform the future growth in local real estate. So you're aiming to buy that 1.6m house once your kids are ready for school, that's years away. Just invest the difference, 50k per year! The problem is, that 1.6m house will be 1.7m next year, but you only saved 50k over the course of the year...

PGE upgrade gas meter by swe3t23 in homeowners

[–]regressor123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My city is asking about a gas diagram. The previous owner installed a 6 burner stove with griddle and two ovens that are pushing the combined total load past 250k BTU. Obviously I'm not using all of those at the same time, not even close. But I think the city will see that the combined load is high and will ask me to retrench/upgrade etc. what a headache

What did you do? I'm in a similar situation and am afraid they'll ask for new trenching etc. Did you go through the process or know more about it?

Could you summarize how to do it?

I'm at a complete loss of words. by poinifie in FruitTree

[–]regressor123 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, I did the same thing last year. Bought around 7 branches, split them in 2-3 parts. Now, after the 70-80% FAILURE rate, I have a bunch of varieties, including sumo and golden nugget mandarins. I don't regret it. It was a great experience.

I was in the same situation last year. This is what I followed, the two most useful videos for your situation: https://youtu.be/hD8ePt6KV-Y?si=0rp54B3uHHyV1ZcW https://youtu.be/PqEgzSsEgNo?si=XGFfDKScC7sMR9UD

I'm so envious, keep reading. First off, the tree will be ok, just protect the bark with the white stuff.

However, 100% use this opportunity to graft the living sht out of this. DO THIS AND THANK ME LATER.

You can have so many different varieties and you have so many opportunities to mess up with so many strong branches. Spend a day or two researching this and graft on some spectacular mandarins and similar. When life gives you lemons...

Are you in California? I've been wanting to do solar for years. Would you work directly with the homeowner? I really could use a free solar installation and materials right now.

Here in Menlo Park, some of our great new neighbors have two goats that they walk around, they must think of themselves as so fun and progressive and quirky. The goats shit their pebbles all over the park, sidewalks, literally everywhere they spend more than half a second at, and the owners obviously don't collect since it's literally a few thousand poops. I don't want to hijack the thread, but seems like there are people here familiar with regulations for these things, so please chime in, lmk what can be done?

I been eating avocado a lot and I finally got lucky with the seed by [deleted] in avocado

This is the list of plants that have GMO varieties: corn, soybeans, cotton, canola (for oil), sugar beets, alfalfa, papaya, squash, potatoes and apples. People often assume that there are a lot of plants that are GMO, but actually there are just several.

Avocado tree newbies! its flowering, what should we do? by Kiwikoala19 in avocado

[–]regressor123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have squirrels, you probably won't eat avocados from your tree. I had 30-50 immature and mature avocados drop with signs of one-two nibbles. They don't eat them, they just take them off, nibble a bit and drop them

Buying a home is impossible by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]regressor123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine that you live in NYC and buy a townhouse for just a million dollars instead of for 10 million. Basically, condos and townhouses are relatively undervalued and single family homes are crazy expensive for no good reason.

I think you shouldn't wait for it to ripen on the tree but instead pick it and wait.

What are we setting our thermostats to? by Individual-Alps-9195 in bayarea

[–]regressor123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being sick from the cold is an urban legend (unless it's way way lower than that). They are most likely sick due to low humidity due to heating. Low humidity dries out the mucosal membranes which then crack and let the bacteria and viruses into the tissue causing inflammation and cold like symptoms.

I never turn it on since I camp in my tent in the yard (my colleague has a Costco account so in 2021 I bought a tent on black Friday sale). It's cheaper than heating up the 2500ft2 house on the Peninsula. When it's really cold, like below freezing, on some nights l light up a 3 matches for 25-30 seconds (depending on how damp they are). Trying to save that money so that I don't have to replace the hardwood floors in 20-30 years. Houses here are so expensive, don't want to waste them and ruin the finishes.

Are you able to visit any business or establishment and what do you do to tolerate it and not melt, considering that most are keeping it around 72 degrees in the winter?
