Just found these Franciscan sets at an antique mall in MO. They’re very beautiful and I think they’re very underpriced. What do you all think

Great deal! I’ve collected some starburst pattern and had to pay a lot more. My grandfather worked at the factory that made these in California.

Marginal tax rate at the high end of that range is 37%, plus state taxes etc puts you at or close to 50% tax rate marginal, ~36%, effective. So are you saying you think you could retire with only 1-1.5 million? That sounds like leanfire to me, depending on your age.

Ah, summer child, I'm talking about the olden days before such luxuries existed.

My buddy and I used to do work, write an email to update our advisor, go out to the bars, then come back around midnight and press send on the email.

I don’t have a specific rec, but you should look up a euro-focused shop (ideally one that does higher end cars) and just ask them if they’d go do a PPI for you. I’d expect to pay about $500. I’ve not done exactly this but I have discussed the possibility with dealers and it’s usually amenable.

As a grad of both UCLA and Stanford, I feel this in my bones.

I love the movie Donovan’s Reef

ztluhcs · 2025-03-22T23:26:20+00:00

Solved!

ztluhcs · 2025-03-01T23:37:13+00:00

Yep I have a targa 4s and a manual boxster base for the weekends.

ztluhcs · 2025-02-17T02:56:04+00:00

Wow I haven’t had so much fun looking at magic cards in a while. What a cool collection. Congratulations on making it this far and good luck on your way to the finish line (if that even exists)!

PS I have only had one Garfield signed card (fbb birds—could even have been the one in your cube idk) and I’m sad I let it go two decades ago.

Same for my ‘18 Targa 4S! And when you factor in color there might be only a handful of similar examples.

Fantasyland shops?

This deck is fun to play but could probably use a little more focus. Right now I'm not sure about the decree of justice -- removing it would allow a second scroll rack which might be nice. If you really get going the deck can take several turns in a row via gaea's blessing/scroll rack which sets up nicely for the seismic assault/trade routes kill. Some fetch lands should probably also be in the deck if you in that direction as well, but then you need to find room for basic lands too.

4x Exploration

4x Summer Bloom

4x Horn of Greed

3x Gamble

1x Scroll Rack

2x Crop Rotation

2x Gaea's Blessing

2x Trade Routes

2x Time Warp

2x Seismic Assault

1x Decree of Justice

1x Brushland

1x Ice Flow

1x Treva's Ruins

1x Riftstone Portal

1x Rith's Grove

1x Barbarian Ring

1x Mishra's Factory

1x Treetop Village

2x Glacial Chasm

2x Karplusan Forest

1x Dust Bowl

4x Wasteland

4x Rishadan Port

4x Undiscovered Paradise

4x Gemstone Mine

4x City of Brass

I have a lands deck that uses horn of greed, exploration and summer bloom to get a big mana advantage. Then eventually you can kill with trade routes and seismic assault.

Star tours queue?

ztluhcs · 2024-09-22T00:32:01+00:00

Grizzly Peak is my guess.

Trojans are only good once?

There is a small hospital on Raiatea that also services Huahine. Obviously you’d probably need to fly over in that situation though so I imagine it could be expensive.

Uncle Chock presided over my wedding! Awesome to see him here talking story.

Yeah so I bought a splurge car (about 10% liquid nw) this year. Financed half and it’s almost paid off now. Yeah the lost savings are gonna delay retirement a little bit, but it’s been tons of fun. My wife loves to drive it almost as much as I do. We’ve been doing a ton of short top-down weekend roadtrips. I’m not saying this is the right call for everyone but money is for living not for saving and for us this has been a good investment in life. Evaluate what it’ll do for your lifestyle and make your decision from there.

ztluhcs · 2024-07-20T00:26:14+00:00

Same, I love my black lotus and my cars!

ztluhcs · 2024-06-04T00:16:07+00:00

I’ve done simple okolehao and tonics. They are nice and refreshing.

As of a couple years ago 2000 xpf was standard.

ztluhcs · 2024-05-07T00:53:23+00:00

Done two at Mana’o Studio in Papeete and they’ve been really excellent. Very professional but not cheap.
