re: Place to Stay in Portland (Oregon)
Posted by dualed on 4/23/24 at 11:29 am
We’ve stayed on the east side twice between Hawthorne and Division and liked that area. The last time we went we stayed in Vancouver across the river and really liked that area. It was very clean and it wasn’t a homeless tent city like Portland. ...

Not like liquidation and paying a penalty and all that. We have a fund that acts as cash but it’s not called that. Valued at $1/share. But yeah, it’s obviously not a safe thing to do :lol:...

If you sold higher than what whatever your stock or fund is currently at then buy in ASAP and consider it a win. I just moved my entire 401k portfolio to cash right before Powell announced no cuts anytime soon. And then we had the Israel/Iran crap this week. Bought back in 5% lower. I don't think it...
re: Any of you know of or have worked at the Exxon Mobil Baton Rouge refinery?

Engineering?? shite you’ll move up the corporate ladder quick as hell. You basically have no choice but to be promoted as an engineer. You’ll move on from a contact to a second line supervisor before you know it. And then it’s on to Houston....

I work in the chem plant so can’t speak for the refinery. Your OT is gonna strictly depend on the unit you go to and how well it’s staffed. I agree with everything one of the guys mentioned above. Upper management is relentless with justifying their jobs by head hunting. They’ve got people scared to...
re: Downtown Austin safe to walk around?

We have an 8PM Sunday show to see Tyler Fischer. I don't know if they'll have any shows prior or bar opens beforehand? I've never been and don't know what to expect haha. ...
Downtown Austin safe to walk around?
Posted by dualed on 4/15/24 at 3:03 pm
Gonna be in Austin 6/15-6/17. Concert at Moody Center and comedy show at Rogan's Club. Is this area fine to walk around or should I plan to Uber? I was looking at Hotel Indigo....

We only go to the beach now in late August or September. The rates during the summer are absolutely ridiculous. ...
re: Question for people that have watched Dune I and II, but haven't read the books.
Posted by dualed on 4/13/24 at 6:07 am
It took me four different times to make it through the first movie. By the fourth viewing I was dialed in and focused on what was going on and didn’t feel lost at all watching the 2nd. I’m hooked now and have been reading up on everything. I thought the 2nd movie was one of the best sci-fi movies I’...

I just traded in a 2006 GMC Sierra that I've had for 12 years. I intend on keeping this truck for the same amount of time if not longer. The interest is irrelevant if I'm paying to off sooner anyways. But pay 26k for a used F150 or 65K for a new one? I'm going used 11 out of 10 times....

Get pre approved at a credit union. While you're at the dealership just let them run your credit and act as if you're financing with them. You'll sit down with finance after you finish with the salesman. They'll throw a paper at you with some bullshite monthly numbers. And you'll say alright idc abou...

Agree 100%. They did the diversity thing right. It didn't distract from anything. I loved the movie. Turned it on the other night with my wife not expecting much at all and I was pleasantly surprised....
re: Disney Lost $134 Million on ‘Indiana Jones 5’
Posted by dualed on 4/2/24 at 9:24 am
Crystal Skull was the comeback movie. I can understand why it made as much as it did despite not being great. I'm a fan and can't tell you anything about this last movie. I remember reading it was going to feature a woman taking over as Indy or something and I immediately checked out. Clearly I wasn...

I used to have an old .pdf that I would use to print out fake ones me and friends when we’d want to go out to bars and restaurants back during the idiot times. I don’t have it anymore, but I’m sure you could find something like it online these days....
re: State Farm downgraded to a B rating

I can throw a rock at 2 houses next to me getting their roofs replaced by USAA from the recent hailstorm. State Farm came out Wednesday and isn’t replacing mine despite having clear damage. I’m dropping them ASAP...

My wife and I each have a tracker with State Farm. She gets $120 off each 6 months and I get $100 off. Idk what her data shows. I know mine gives poor grades for phone use and acceleration. You can pull up a map from each trip you take in your vehicle and it shows these little bubbles at every point...
