YBB said "I have read that in many car models, to replace the headlights, they have to disassemble the entire front portion and then put it back. So, that's what adds to the time and labor."
I can vouch for that. Had to replace a passenger side hea…
Curious to know if the US still has protocols for safe operation, inspections and/or properly trained inspectors to oversee operating and mechanical procedures and so forth or was that department nuked so to speak by the doge whiz kids for fraud and…
@hank and @Crash for some excellent discussion(s) on CEF's check out this forum Early Retirement
dickoncapecod (read his bio) is an excellent resource, knowledgeable and helpful. There are also a number of other well versed posters. Hope you find i…
And yet other countries go about their business without feeling the need to slaughter a bunch of innocents in exchange for a bunch somewhere else. Go figure. What a screwed up species we are.
What horrifies me is that I cannot think of a single member of his cabinet, appointees, advisors or family I would be ok with to take his place. The whole bunch reminds me of a manure pile on a hot, humid day.
Excuse me if I temper my enthusiasm with the credibility of the source and a cherry-picked data set (YTD growth by president). I'd like to hope that you're correct but my field of reference comes from a pool of blue collar friends who haven't seen a…
Look, I know embarrassing little about Iran or its people other than they've lived under a brutal dictatorship for 45+years. I thought it might help to know a little more about them. Found this:

In St. Paul, MN, despite strong words of caution from safety officials to stay away from the No Kings rally at the state capital more than 80K folks assembled to protest and maybe share their gri…
It appears as though that in MN the days protests started with the shootings of 2 state congressional representatives. Scant details at this point.
Update: Speaker of the House, Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed. Sen. Hoffman and his wife…
"Why isn’t Congress legislating? Because legislating means picking sides. Writing a law means taking a vote. Taking a vote means owning consequences. And nothing terrifies today’s politicians more than being held accountable for something they did o…
:I wonder where Jared and Ivanka are these days?" Mostly I try to never think about it and just hope that they stay gone. However I saw an article were they were trying to constuct a new real estate tower in Serbia which has come into a mess of prob…
When did the WSJ become an unbiased source of information? They've been pro-conservative in their musings for as long as I can remember.
And as long as we're here when did NPR become biased? They'll slam anybody if they've got it coming.
From the article: "Free cash flow and dividends are better predictors of small-cap performance than earnings growth rates."
If you're a believer there's a fund for that - CALF. I used it awhile back probably when there was another banging of the dr…
