*taking notes* get to know my neighbors, i might get an entire joint for free...

unironically yes

my upstairs neighbor has an in-law that works at a dispensary so he gets more free weed than he can smoke

he's given me way more than a joint's worth of free weed

Thank OpenAI and the generative-AI boom for limiting the carnage here. AI startups have raised billions of dollars this year, and when they're not frantically buying GPUs from Nvidia, they are spending some of their cash on hiring engineers and other AI specialists.

why would you get your hair cut every other week? i had one this week but the last time i did was before Labor Day so early August. that was a little long but every other week??

if you shave your head bc youre balding, especially in any sort of uneven way, you'll look like poo poo after 1-2 months without a haircut

(but if youre shaving your head you can just use clippers at home and not pay for haircuts)

Anyone doing this newfangled way of dumpster diving by ordering food from restaurants before it's thrown out?

:hellyeah:



The surprise-bag concept would prolly be bad for picky eaters but these apps sound good.

I downloaded and looked at that specific app maybe a year ago. I didn't end up buying anything because I didn't want to give it my credit card and I realized I didn't actually want to buy veggies I didn't know how to cook that were about to expire from the local grocery store, even at a discount. And I've cut down my takeout consumption a lot, discounted takeout from an expensive restaurant (especially if you don't eat all of it) is still more expensive than making something at home.

But in general it seemed fine to me. Better than just throwing the food out.


Edit: After reading the article I might reinstall to see what the current options are lol

Are any of these “sales” going to be to close relatives like to kids so they can get out of the main house. Or to parents, who can’t afford to live on their own anymore? With a wink and a nod that the property will revert back (or just be sold) to the original owner after the family member moves out.

Depends on the tax situation, but there's rules around primary residences and tax breaks for first-time home buyers and how Prop 13 is affected by inherited properties and so on.

It's best to never trigger a tax reassessment if it'll make your property tax go up, so maybe if it's a recently acquired rental property, splitting it up to reduce the value, and splitting off a chunk to get you the first time home buyer tax break?

And then if you sold to a parent, you'll recover it for free as part of your inheritance later.
