    Francis Scott Key Bridge (Baltimore) hit by Cargo Ship and Collapsed

    I'd like to know how much insurance coverage the owners of the ship have. Our bureaucrats in Washington have already committed to tossing billions of taxpayer dollars at rebuilding the bridge. How about making the responsible party pay up, and do so immediately ?

    How do you like the driving aids in today's cars?

    As others have said, it depends on how well they are implemented and whether or not they can be switched off or at least have some adjustments regarding sensitivity. For example, the blind spot monitoring in my Mazda CX 5 works great. I turned off the audible alert for it though if I recall...

    Zillow Plunges After Verdict on Real Estate Brokerage Commissions

    Regarding the sentiment that home buyers and sellers don't have the right to dictate how much other people should make, that overlooks what has historically been the case when there is a monopoly and collusion among real estate agents to keep commission rates at 3%+3%. Sure there have been some...

    Kitchen Sink Gauge Thickness

    Get as heavy a gauge as possible. Most sinks now have a rubberized sound deadening material spray coated on the bottoms. One advantage to a heavy gauge sink is it doesn't pop and bang from the thermal shock of pouring boiling water suddenly into it like when draining a big pot of pasta. I have...

    Zillow Plunges After Verdict on Real Estate Brokerage Commissions

    The statement by NARs makes for a good press release. But the fact remains that for decades, realtors have with few exceptions kept commissions very high and done everything they can to stifle negotiations below the traditional 6% rates. I predict that a few large realtor groups will soon...

    Zillow Plunges After Verdict on Real Estate Brokerage Commissions

    Well it will be interesting to see if agents in high property value areas feel the pressure to start lowering their commission rates. Since it seems that they will no longer be allowed to collude among themselves in order to keep their rates high, my guess is the agents that are willing to work...

    Musk Says Tesla ‘Dug Our Own Grave’ With The Cybertruck

    So have any of you guys actually seen a Cybertruck in person and had a chance to do a walk-around to look for flaws or talk to the owner ? Or are you bloviating based upon a couple of YouTube reviews ? That's what i thought. I suppose I'll see one soon enough and if I get a chance to check it...

    Zillow Plunges After Verdict on Real Estate Brokerage Commissions

    I have been saying for years that the 3%+3% commission structure collusion needs to be crushed in areas where home prices are high and time on market is short. For example, in the greater San Diego area a single family home in any neighborhood where you would like to live is now around a...

    Tesla Stock

    Alarmguy I appreciate your analysis and yes it does make sense. But then again, Tesla's stock valuation has never made much sense. It may be on its way down to GM levels. Or by next year it may be back up to close to $300 again. We don't know what is going on behind the scenes, there may be a...

    Tesla Stock

    It sounds like some of you think Elon or other shareholders made claims regarding projected sales to manipulate the stock price. Do you think they could have gotten away with that ? There are a lot of factors involved in a company's stock valuation, some are from numbers on paper, some are from...

    Washing Microfiber Cloths

    I would never put MF towels or anything else contaminated with oil or grease in my washing machine. I only use high quality MF towels to wash my vehicles. When I apply something like a ceramic or graphene coating I use those little MF pads and throw them away after the application of such...

    Tesla Stock

    Some of you assume that Elon and the upper management staff at Tesla have learned nothing in the last 10 years and will continue to make the kinds of mistakes that they have in the past. I'm not a financial expert but I predict that Tesla will continue to achieve growth quarter over quarter...

    Teslas are Crap (long, sorry)

    I wonder if the people with Elon Derangement Syndrome equally boycott corporations who wear their politics on their sleeves or the works of actors/actresses/musicians whom they disagree with politically ? Or is it just because Elon is so wealthy and his product is electric vehicles and not...

    Tesla Stock

    And once again many people on this forum fail to consider Tesla as a company and TSLA as a stock has the potential for very substantial revenue streams at very profitable margins from other business divisions besides their EV sales. And that those revenue streams should be starting in the next...

    Fisker filing for bankruptcy

    Fisker made some attractively styled EV's. Elon should hire their designers and put them to work asap on completely restyled Model 3's and Y's.
