  1. I must have touched you where the bad man did. I can tell you that in my field, permits from the state of Texas, there has been a sharp increase in contested case hearings, so much so that SOAH is backed up like a bad toilet. My point remains with my narrow focus. I am personally doing more legal adjacent expert work than I ever have before. And I only do it for clients I am already working for- I am not an expert for hire.
  2. This last is no lie. I spend over half my time being an expert in either litigation or administrative law cases. Everyone is suing and lawyering up, in every jurisdiction too. Not just big cities. Out in BFE too.
  3. Definitely not. I mean, if my stonk bets pan out, I’ll be living large! I meant I can fly Alaska from MRY direct and have a reason to visit. I’m still working for a living. Trying to completely retire someday soon but talking to the friends who’ve done it every one of them has gone back to part time consulting. The place I’ve stayed a couple of times right by the campus was Estancia and it was pretty cool. If I could afford La Jolla we probably would have moved there instead of the central coast.
  4. Bluebeam is probably best for non cad users. It’s very easy to set scales, measure, and draw to scale. Obviously if you can use AutoCad or Micro Station but you wouldn’t be asking if you can use those.
  5. I will be looking for recommendations soon. Son starting UCSD in September and there’s a direct flight from Monterey to SD, so I’ll be there frequently. I’m looking forward to my next four years in La Jolla.
  6. Here is a recent re-discovery that I’ve been enjoying: Purcell’s Music for theatre https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZKlYaJPLQw&list=OLAK5uy_nbsLMWr-cNlyrg5dvANG9WcZOBA4pKbKY&pp=8AUB
  7. Your idea of worst case is weird. Continued growth and no rate cut is probably 1a from best, but that’s ridiculously narrow view of the market. I would say contraction would be significantly worse all around.
  8. You said reenter, huh huh.
  9. This fucking California flash mob stuff really is out of control.
  10. I took my gains in 4U off the table. I just don’t see their price tracking well enough with uranium to stick with it. I am awaiting a decent entry point in GERN, but holding IBRX for now.
  11. Fucking China. Covid wasn’t enough?
  12. He didn’t say they did anything, did he? That fucking tent thing still makes me chortle. And I agree that it looks huge because of its geometry. The fact that it has a micro bed is just gravy.
  13. There is nothing that can make that piece of shit look better. We saw one rolling through Pebble Beach and everyone was pointing and laughing at it. It looks like a kit car to be honest.
  14. It’s a beautiful time of year.
  15. I don’t think the post is the problem, dude. It’s what comes next.
  16. These AI bots are getting creative with their user names.
  17. I am glad the rest of you feel the need to work extra hard so I can enjoy the fruits of your labor. At least I’m an honest asshole.
  18. That’s awesome! Congratulations.
  19. I bailed on most of my position at 3.25. When they do an additional offering at 3 bucks that 75 percent profit looks good to me. I’ll be back looking for another one but I learned my lesson on getting greedy with some of these.
  20. I mean, the kids name is a pretty solid clue…
  21. I may not have the best timing in a lot of things but seeing my house in May 2022 may be my luckiest timing ever. I think the guy who bought it is 20 percent underwater right now. I just had a feeling of “no fucking way is this market real now” , and we got multiple bids way over asking. Just stupid.
  22. And necro bump time. Son is accepted at SD and is going there. I can’t wait to go visit because I haven’t been to La Jolla in a few years. Plus looks like my daughter is planning to go there for grad school. Life is good right now.
  23. Exactly. 9 figure? That’s fucking stupid. I’m a little under a hundred million net worth and it’s fine in my 1500 square foot shack with homeless people popping fentanyl outside.
  24. Central coast here and the biggest difference is the fruits and vegetables, besides the obvious seafood. Monterey county produces so much that we have an abundance of excellent fruit year round, and all year is growing season for leafy vegetables. The Mexican food doesn’t touch Texas, and despite the Crossroads Barbecue in Carmel being pretty good, beef here is not even close to Texas standard. I’ll take the trade. Regarding the Texodus, the people I know who have moved have all done it to trade up in housing and down in cost. And not because they were well off, mostly because of cost. The ones who can afford it aren’t leaving because it’s fucking paradise here. Texas is still relatively cheap, although every time I come back to visit I notice food and restaurant prices are starting to close the gap to Cali. Hotel, car rental, gas, and housing still not in the same universe.
