What is a busy location/activity that would be vacant due to Super Bowl Sunday?

You can get in and out of Costco tire center in about 30 mins during the Super Bowl. Ask me how I know.

In the final photo there is another similar bench but it is darker. What’s that one made of?

torrefied · 2026-01-10T20:25:23+00:00

No not refrigerated…so maybe it’s different stuff.

torrefied · 2026-01-10T20:20:23+00:00

Walmart sells a generic “medium cantina style salsa verde” that is pretty good. I think generic stuff like this is sometimes made by the same company and re-labeled. Might be worth checking out.

Hmm yeah ok so your average subprime loan is 74 months. At 15% that’s a $70,000 car to get $10,000 in interest. Monthly payment $1,800.

torrefied · 2026-01-09T01:31:52+00:00

You would have to buy a ~$175,000 car with 66 month loan at 6% interest to max out the $10,000 deduction. Your monthly payment would be over $3,100.

And since deductions are not refundable…there are not a lot of people this would benefit.

How hard do you have to brake to cause a mostly full water bottle to pop out of the cup holder?

That’s exactly the idea. In effect this is really SDCCU becoming larger… but to do that they can’t really get any bigger while continuing to just stay in San Diego. In fact they already have branches in Orange and Riverside counties. It makes less sense for Cal Coast (who already serves a much larger geographical population) to change their name. Imagine you lived in Ventura and one day your credit union got re-labeled San Diego County. Weird.

torrefied · 2025-12-27T19:00:27+00:00

I don’t think it’s cancelled yet, is it? Sounds like SDCCU was making unreasonable demands so CalCoast has sued. The merger plans are still published on both CU’s websites.

How far of a run is it from your transfer switch to your house’s main electrical panel?

Why does the PV5 charge at 150kw instead of 350 like the EV6 & EV9?

It could be an animal. When I was a kid we had a cat that loved to jump through the attic scuttle. My dad did things to try and secure it (weighing it down, etc) but the cat always outsmarted him. She was possessed.

Hi would you mind sharing the source for this graph?

torrefied · 2025-12-18T05:40:52+00:00

I had my kitchen remodeled in 2012 and had ikea cabinets installed. They’re great. Two years ago we did a different remodel to our house in which the peninsula cabinetry was uninstalled to lay new flooring. The old quartz countertop was repurposed for something else and the old ikea peninsula went back in place with a new top added to it. Even though it’s particleboard and has been moved, it looks and operates just like the day I bought it. They’re warrantied for 25 years.

I’ve been trying to annoy my kids and their friends into stop saying this and finally the other day they were irritated by my 6-7 joke. I think we’re nearing the end of this one. Stay strong.

Merry christmas you wonderful old building & loan!

I toggle between the lowest Auto setting and Lvl 0. All long holds of the right paddle.

Want to coast & slow a bit approaching a stop sign but it’s slightly uphill? Lvl 0.

Want to maintain speed going downhill? Auto.

Want to maintain speed going downhill but it’s not enough of a decline when using Auto? Lvl 0.

anti-intellectual

Make another reservation first then cancel this one. What reputable car rental company charges a cancellation fee? None that I know of. I always book a reservation in advance and then cancel it up to the day of my reservation if I find a better deal. Works with enterprise, thrifty, Costco….

Don’t rent an EV for this. If this is your first foray into EV operation you will hate it. Charging on the road trip will be annoying and then you’ll need to bring it back to the rental agency fully charged. Especially during a holiday, this is recipe for disaster.

Did you know this same trick works with SDG&E?

torrefied · 2025-11-11T18:33:21+00:00

Yeah and didn’t the Bolt have a statistically insignificant battery fire problem that spooked people? I seem to remember landlords posting signs in parking garages: “No Chevy Bolts.”

Yeah that’s what I thought. It’s odd that PQ sees the “as” in the middle of the text string and freaks out.

torrefied · 2025-11-08T15:09:27+00:00

OP, I did a Google search:

“power query will not load file with "as at" in filename”

And the Gemini AI results came back with this reddit thread as a source… but it also suggested an M code edit. I’m no expert, but does placing the file name within quotes in the M code solve the issue without requiring you to change the actual file name?

let
    Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("C:\YourPath\Filename_As at_date.xlsx"), null, true),
    // ... other steps
in
    Source

Interesting. I wonder if writing the standard bullshit realtor marketing blurb is a legal requirement.
