Norton posted:i live next to a big retirement community in florida. there are so many estate sales around here you can do a little tour of like 5 in a row every weekend. my mother in law used to go to them a ton so i'd get brought along occasionally. in my experience most of the good stuff has been taken or sold by the family and there are just immense piles of old tacky garbage to sort through. clothes that look like they belong in little house on the prairie, porcelain bunnies, ancient books. i'm sure if you went to enough you'd find some cool things at good price, but in my experience it's usually just tacky decorations and clothes. I haven't gone to any, but I do get the alerts on EstateSales.net. In the wealthy suburbs of D.C. it is either 30 years' worth of tacky hoarder garbage like you described or else richy rich "downsizing" auctions with stupid amounts of art where like... a framed print of a racist caricature is listed for $1,100. I'm mostly on the lookout for vintage watches, tools and nice wood furniture, but all the good stuff never makes it to the listings or else is hilariously overpriced.

If you run out of charge hertz can now charge you a giant new idiot tax. plus you can put batteries on tow trucks that will be able to recharge the Tesla enough to limp it somewhere, so it isn’t adding very much overhead.

In my experience the richer the house the worse the stuff they're trying to sell. I'm used to seeing people trying to sell used margarine containers for $1 in rich neighborhoods. You're better off going to working class areas.

lobster shirt posted:isnt it also pretty bad for a battery to actually get run all the way to zero? Yes, but they won't actually let you do that even though the display says 0%. They also only charge the batteries up to around ~80% because it greatly increases the life span. I believe there have been PR stunts by Tesla where they've unlocked the bottom portion of the battery remotely during evacuations from natural disasters. IIRC it was wildfires in CA but they may have done it for hurricanes too.

Trip report: Just got back from local pizza joint where I chatted with the owner for a bit. He said that his distributor said they the price of chicken and wheat was about to go up because of production/supply chain. Then he started trying to tell me it was all the fault of California environmental regulations and couldn't really articulate why so take the delusional kulak with a grain of salt.

SPACs are the craziest thing ever. They're literally lootboxes for stock. I give it another year until some newspaper puts out a report about how blatantly obvious it is that insiders trade SPAC shares before the acquisition target is announced, at which point the SEC will announce an investigation that will go nowhere. SPACs will probably fall out of favor if there are ever any rumblings of increased scrutiny, but I doubt they'll ever be rightfully banned. The fact that any financial regulator lets a SPAC publicly sell shares in an entity that has no actual operations is insane.

I hadn't thought of them that way, I always thought of them as prime evidence that we have a "too much money" problem. people just parking money for a place in line not even knowing what is going to be at the end of the line but they don't care because they are mainly hoping they can sell their spot in line.

Think of them as business warehouses you can buy shares in that are the value of what you park in them, how could that not be a sound financial device?

Thankfully this jenga tower is covered in glue and nothing happens ever no matter how many fuckups.
