  1. Discussion ***Official*** 2024 Stock Market Thread 💰

    Hybrids and PHEVs allow more to convert their daily commute away from fossil fuels and this drastically improves air quality in cities. Would we rather have 30% of cars be PHEV or 5-10% pure BEV? PHEVs also allow more people to put in outlets to charge overnight as well... at least when it comes...
  2. Discussion ***Official*** 2024 Stock Market Thread 💰

    I generally agree, but can you blame them? Americans are like any other humans. If you go back in history, they were doing the same buying big(ger)/heavier/uneconomical cars before the 1973 oil crisis began and after that, for decades, they were collectively moving towards lighter, smaller, more...
  3. Discussion ***Official*** 2024 Stock Market Thread 💰

    You get far more bang for your buck, in terms of societal reduction of refined crude oil, with hybrids. There are many resource limitations down to the mine level that constrain how many batteries can be made. You can jam 70 kwh into a Tesla of use that for 5-10x as many hybrids and PHEVs. The...

    Thank you - I did not realize they included long-term interest rates at a moderate level as part of stable prices. Very insightful.
  5. Discussion ***Official*** 2024 Stock Market Thread 💰

    Just to be a PITA, I'll add the Fed actually has a third mandate that is almost never brought up in the context of their frequently cited dual-mandate. The third mandate is to maintain moderate long-term interest rates. I believe the third is ignored because it's just viewed as not always...
  6. Discussion ***Official*** 2024 Stock Market Thread 💰

    Any specific year is a gamble, but valuation multiples in the U.S. seem elevated. The Shiller PE ratio can be seen here: https://www.multpl.com/shiller-pe Valuation metrics don't cause the markets to move on any given day, month, or year, so I may totally wrong for 2024. I can just say that...
  7. January 21st ATOT Birthdays!

    You are a good person. Thanks for the birthday wishes Zim. I got on AT specifically to find your post today :) :beermug:
  8. What happened to the stolen Mustang from 15 years ago?

    Thank you. Wish it was a different outcome….
  9. October 13th ATOT Birthdays!

    Zim - you are still doing this daily birthday thread?! You are a good soul.
  10. What happened to the stolen Mustang from 15 years ago?

    I haven't been here in a while. It must have been 15 years ago, there was a user who had a modified older Mustang (60s-80s). It was stolen and then he eventually found a listing for a specific part from his car, which I believe he traced back to the manufacturer and had proof it was his. I...

    There was a season of the Secret Millionaire's Club with Buffett. I don't know where to find the full episodes now, but Youtube has lots of clips: https://www.youtube.com/@SecretMillionairesClub/videos
  12. How to narrow down connection issues

    I think it was a bad modem previously. I ordered a new one, set it up yesterday, and now smokeping gives me much better results. I'm at 0% packet loss from 1 location and 1.5% from the other 2 locations. This compares to the roughly 18% I experienced earlier. Thanks for all the help.
  13. Who actually buys anything from Best Buy?

    They price match Amazon and so I've got no issue shopping there... if anything, returns are easier, and so I'd prefer to shop at BB as long as they keep the price matching.
  14. How to narrow down connection issues

    Okay - I've ordered both of those and I'll use this setup as a chance to connect a laptop directly to the modem and then report back in a few days. Thanks!
  15. How to narrow down connection issues

    Thanks for both of the responses. nsafreak - my modem is at a distance from my computer and so it's not easy to test a wired connection unfortunately. John - cable. From what I've gathered, figuring out why the other outlets don't work won't be easy. I think it will require following the...
  16. How to narrow down connection issues

    I'm having intermittent internet connection problems and don't know how to isolate the issue easily. Background: I switched from a DSL connection to cable internet recently. (due to price/speeds/etc.) This required me to get a cable modem and because my previous modem also had a wireless...

  18. Repairs to Jeep Bumper

    A friend's car got dinged while parking - any idea what repairs to this bumper would entail? Does something like this just require a new bumper? Images: http://imgur.com/XWmzd7r http://imgur.com/8fmqacJ
  19. [poll] who is right in this argument, me or wife?

    Debating this is pointless. The idea is to push the decision off to others who can also see the expiry date and make a decision for themselves. So I side with the wife - obviously for different reasons, but it's not a discussion worth going back and forth on.
  20. Always conflicated with cars.... (sub 5K cars vs newer 15-17K cars)

    This is my biggest challenge - my concern would be that if I paid $5k for a car and then the transmission had to be rebuilt ($2-3k) or something else that cost $1k+ at a shop (not something I'd like to do myself). Those things could easily put it at being a $6-8k car after that. I would have...
  21. Hybrid Maintenance (Used car purchase thoughts)

    Thanks for the posts everyone. Given what a few here said and what I've read around at other places, and also my small amount of driving, I decided to pass on a hybrid. I ended up getting a 2010 Civic LX Sedan (with automatic transmission) for $12.4k that has 38k miles and a new set of tires...
  22. Hybrid Maintenance (Used car purchase thoughts)

    I currently drive an 08 Civic LX and need to get a new car - the current one will be going to a family member. I like my car, the cost, and gas mileage. This means that my goal is really to just get an inexpensive Civic. I was originally looking for something lightly used that likely came off...
  23. Plumbing - Removing old valve

    Nod. I wonder if that's glue/caulking around it? (The semi-clear stuff) Could that be what's making it hard to undo the nut?
  24. Plumbing - Removing old valve

    Well that's a pain in the rear end. Sounds like destroying the plastic piece is the only way out of this one? Maybe I could just bypass the plastic piece though... Edit: Rethinking it, the valve shouldn't be an issue with the soldering. The plastic insert/nut is the culprit. Should that be...
  25. Plumbing - Removing old valve

    I've been in rehab. After 25k, there was no turning back. How did you get out of rehab is the question?
  26. Plumbing - Removing old valve

    I bought a condo recently and the hot water supply line has a leak. It drips from the inside (where water normally comes out) and so after some research online, it seemed like the solution was to replace the unit that connects the pipe to the washer's hose. (valve?) I went to replace it...
  27. Determining proper price for a new car

    Flexible - they just want the base model and carpet floor mats (it's actually an option, not standard). Ideally, at a dealership in state. Jimzz - good call on costco, I will check on that. Thanks.
  28. Determining proper price for a new car

    Parents are looking to purchase a new Prius 2 - is checking edmunds/truecar (auto buying service) and then just calling 2-3 dealerships enough to get a good price? Browsing the Prius forums for recent purchase prices was complicated because once you add in options and other things that change...
  29. Gap Health Insurance Help

    Call an independent agent in your area and/or check with the current state's DOI, because that's where the policy will be bound.
  30. Anybody done an Alaskan cruise? Experiences?

    From what I've heard, the scenery is the biggest attraction of an Alaskan cruise - I haven't done one myself, but they're supposed to be better than in the Caribbean. (I've done 2 or 3 of these myself)
  31. Networking Support thread for the unemployed: Spring 2014

    If anyone sees something at Nationwide Insurance, drop me a message. I know we have a sizable IT department and so that might be something to check out online. (Use our website's career listings to find an open request - I'm not in IT and so am not up to date on their positions)
  32. AT cooks - help me find a good soup

    I want to make a soup of some kind that can serve as a decent lunch meal throughout the week. I would prefer it has a decent source of protein and some carbs/vegetables wouldn't hurt. I've found 3 in just a few minutes of searching and would appreciate any others you recommend. 1...
  33. 401k, how much do you put in % wise?

    I only put in what is needed to get the company match - that said, I don't spend everything I earn and prefer the liquidity and freedom that comes with money outside of a retirement account. The downside is that if I should ever need to go through bankruptcy, they will get all of that. I believe...
  34. Cuddle Cafe...this will not end well

    I would like to express my thoughts to the internet that I do not believe this is a good idea.
  35. How does one get a job abroad?

    https://www.google.com/#hl=en&sclient=psy-ab&q=expat+hong+kong+forum I would talk to expats who are there right now.
  36. The keurig is amazing

    I'm not a coffee drinker, but I think Keurig makes great sense - it's an alternative to even the cheapest $1 coffee at McDonald's and doesn't have the extra effort of cleaning that's involved with other methods at home. Compared to drinking out, you save money, still get a decent drink, and...
  37. Engineering Students Watching Hot Girls Dance

    For engineering students, you'd think they'd have been a little more resourceful on the internet by now. If this is the future of engineers, then I'm really wondering what's going to happen to the world...
  38. Statistical tools in Excel

    For what it's worth, I found it easier to manipulate the data just in Excel. I ran into a hurdle and the description is below. Because I have a scenario number and time that I was dealing with, I eventually went to use vlookups to find the result based on scenario and time. When I did that, I...
  39. Statistical tools in Excel

    I have multiple scenarios of data and want to create a graph based on the mean and 10th/90th percentiles of it all, shown over time. Is there a plugin to do this? If not, here is my thought process: Data Sample Scenario # Result Time 1 .2...
  40. Hardware Diagnostics

    I'm getting random problems like sometimes Mail doesn't close without a forced termination, Preview can't open and keeps bouncing for an extended period of time, the computer will hang up, etc. I think I'm having trouble with my external HDD that I use for Time Machine and so I can't rule...
