    The South remains the largest gainer in migration.

    Yes, but your talking micro. There are billionaires in 3rd world dumps. Your anecdotal data is of no macro value. Successful people will be successful. The reality is that a average intelligence boomer could for the most part walk into a job with a pension, save some additional money on the...

    The South remains the largest gainer in migration.

    Every economist and demographer disagrees with you, but we have had this debate before. The great wealth transfer will go to millennials. Even your links say that - well some are a bit wrong because they can't do math. I presume your kids are millennials - born on or after 1980? They will...

    Aftermarket Air Mass Meters

    The cheapest is a cheap dongle from amazon and one of the cheap apps. Torque Pro is the best for Android IMHO. 4-stroke for IOS is OK too - I have it. If you want stand alone there have been a lot of posts about options here I think you can get a pretty good logging one from the big brands...

    Does Size Matter? Engine Displacement….How Low Can They Go?

    There are lots of 1.0L engines overseas. We generally don't get those small cars here. The 1.5l honda engine is in a CRV which is a pretty decent size car actually, so thats kind of impressive even though it seems to be a dilluter. Even mighty BMW put a 1.2l in a mini.

    Does Size Matter? Engine Displacement….How Low Can They Go?

    I had to look that up. I don't know if I have ever seen one. Had no idea Diahatsu ever sold stuff here.

    Home insurance rate changes since 2021.

    Yes, and even so Sandy really crushed the FEMA insurance fund.

    Toyota Oil Filters

    No, because how do I know what or when the filter is in bypass?

    The South remains the largest gainer in migration.

    Gen X is generally agreed to start in 1965. So yes, technically 60 would be starting to retire at the end of this year. However I don't think you will see many retiring. As a generation they made less, saved less, are less likely to have a pension, and full SS retirement age is 67. There...

    Toyota Oil Filters

    There very basic material oil filters seemingly well constructed. Cellulose, nitrile valve, etc. I have run them, nothing wrong, nothing great. The flow is going to be a function of the delta P across the filter, so until someone measures that its all speculation. There pretty much just a...

    The South remains the largest gainer in migration.

    You have at least 5 more years of boomer retirement. They think last year might have been peak retiree, but they won't really know for a couple years at least. GenX can't afford to retire.

    The South remains the largest gainer in migration.

    Yes, they went up 100% and now have fallen 5%. THE HORROR!. Below is Orlando. But yes, Florida has definitely overbuilt. I would not want to live there currently. But much of the new growth is retirees flush with cash to spend so it might be a good place for a while.

    The South remains the largest gainer in migration.

    That sort of thing has been posted here before, likely by @GON. Showed the same general trend - people moving from high cost of living places like the NE and West Coast, to lower COL places like the Southeast and desert Southwest. Lots of it is retirees, but much of it is not. Businesses are...

    2025 Toyota Rav4 engine oil update, 5w-30

    No, VVT is moved by oil pressure but controlled by the ECU. The oil pressure is simply used as the motive force. If the ECU wants VVT to move it lets in or lets out more or less oil pressure into the VVT solenoid. If the oil pressure was too low to do this you would have other far worse...

    What is this odd but neat style of subdivision house called exactly.

    I thought zero lot line was literally no lot - you owned the ground under your house and that was it - like a row house that literally shares a wall or whatever.

    What is this odd but neat style of subdivision house called exactly.

    They still build them like that around here. These are fairly new - last 15 years. https://www.google.com/maps/@32.8899388,-80.0006287,257m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDcxMy4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

    OK, but you really didn't know what was wrong before, and you still don't. Actual data might go a long ways to narrowing your focus.

    Home insurance rate changes since 2021.

    I have federal flood. Problem is FEMA flood will not cover past 350K anyway - there max. So that would not come close to covering a rebuild. Honestly I don't worry too much, we had the 1000 year flood in what - 2016 - and it didn't get close. One of the reasons I do keep it is so if there is...

    AMZN says its laying people off in AWS. I thought that was the future? Stock is up - ya for me. I wonder if its time to lighten that one - its up 25% since I bought in April. Maybe I put a trailing stop in. Same with GOOG - its up 17% from same time. Problem is I lack investment ideas...
