    Do you believe in saving for the future?

    I hear a lot about how we should save our money, invest in the future, sacrifice while we're young so it will pay off when we're older. Makes sense. At the same time, our future is uncertain. Disease, accidents, etc. Even if you're lucky enough to make it into old age without any issues, will...

    Prop 19

    What do you guys know about Prop 19? This bill passed in November and the implications are pretty crazy. Anyone who has parents with property is liable to pay a shit ton of taxes on inherited property unless action is taken between now and Feb 11th. From what I gather, it makes any property...

    Gas powered 2-stroke scooter!

    Just in time for the holidays! It's loud and smells of sweet sweet bean oil. What better way is there to simultaneously terrorize the neighborhood and bring happiness to a child? I've had this scooter since new. It's in excellent shape. I recently rebuilt it from the ground-up with all new...

    Tech question about TV audio

    I am interested in a way to connect multiple bluetooth and/or wired headphones to a TV so that each person can watch and listen at their own volume. Let's say, up to 4 people. Does such a thing exist? I've researched a bit and everything says even with the latest and greatest "smart" TV's you...

    Brake sizing for brake upgrade

    I am trying to wrap my head around some brake upgrades right now. I have a bike with twin disk brakes up front. Each caliper is a 38mm diameter single piston and the caliper slides on pins. The master cylinder is 5/8", or 15.9mm. The brakes feel extremely "wooden". As soon as the pads make...

    Excel gurus? Image handling...

    At work I use Excel a lot for reports that have some text on the left and associated photos on the right. As you know, Excel isn't the best at dealing with photos. We usually shrink them down to fit in rows, and then in order to view them in detail they need to be stretched back out again. It...

    Why does my phone keep getting slower?

    I bought a Samsung S7 when it came out and it was the best thing you could get. Super fast, everything was instant, battery lasted 2 days, etc. Now that a few years have passed, it barely works. Runs super slow even when trying to do basic things like instant messaging or watch a youtube video...

    "Weight on the wheels" - geometry discussion

    I am constantly reading that if you raise the rear, or lower the front of your bike, you will consequently "put more weight on the front tire". It seems to me that moving the fork up in the clamps by 3 to 5mm is not going to affect the weight distribution by any significant amount. Yet, this...

    New prescriptions - cheap options?

    I need new glasses and sunglasses. My insurance is shit and still will cost me over $100 just for some pretty basic stuff, not including frames. For glasses, it needs to be anti-scratch and anti-glare. For sunglasses, it needs to be polarized, anti-scratch, and anti-glare. Got any sources for...

    High yield savings accounts

    Is anyone using one of these? Which ones are legit, recommended, etc? I am seeing anywhere from 2.00 to 2.40% APY but want to pick the right one.

    Are car drivers becoming too courteous?

    I've encountered a strange thing lately. Scenario 1: Lane splitting. Many cars will see the motorcycle coming and pull to the side. Okay, that's nice. Some will pull over abruptly. It's a little sketchy but okay. Then some will pull into the shoulder, kicking up rocks and dirt. Some drivers...
