Re: No love for China's Tiangong (Heavenly Palace) Space Station? - 3 days ago
Countries like China and India should be commended for their space exploration efforts. However it is hard to get enthusiastic about them when the next generation of technology is being developed by companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin.by Carnos Jax - Tips and Deals

Yes, this is the same way Walmart operates as well. They squeeze OEMs, and when they can’t squeeze no more, they copy the product.by Carnos Jax - Tips and Deals

If I wasn’t going to invest in Tesla, I would be all in on Apple at this time, especially with this dip. I think Apple is poised to make a big run here thanks to their M1 chips and other advancements. It will only be a question of how much they can produce.by Carnos Jax - Tips and Deals

Quotemattkime QuoteztirffritzBy 2025 Tesla will likely produce more vehicles than Ford, by 2030(probably sooner) they'll produce more than GM. Growing into their CURRENT valuation? Very common mistake that most people make in assuming Tesla is just an automotive company. They are not an automotive company at all. They’re a conglomerate that among other things producers cars.

Of course, most people don’t have the time, hence why the conservative move is putting your money in an index fund. Active money managers rarely outperform index funds.

Re: Jim Cramer Investment Club? - 7 days ago
Cramer is no particular genius. Almost all his knowledge comes from insider information through his contacts at Wall Street. That’s why he was anti-Tesla, before it became popular with Wall Street. Having said that, I suppose there is some value in that kind of intelligence.by Carnos Jax - Tips and Deals
Re: @#$%&! Just lost a very close family member to Covid! - 8 days ago
The second tragedy in all this is, because of their anti-vax stance, which is similarly shared by many of their surrounding family and friends….we can’t go to the funeral. These people are like immediate family. The expectation is we go there right now to help plan the funeral and take some stress off the direct family. We can not do this. Even though all of us had our shots, my 83yo momby Carnos Jax - 'Friendly' Political Ranting
Re: @#$%&! Just lost a very close family member to Covid! - 8 days ago
And here’s the rub of it. These people, and particularly he, was the epitome of ministerial work. They didn’t live by any means a lavish lifestyle. They gave their all to those who they served. They talk the talk but more importantly walk the walk.

Thank you Vision, and everyone. It doesn’t seem to matter what they die from when you lose someone close, and I’ve lost some close ones over the past couple years. But this has to be the most senseless, and therefore like someone just whacked you over the head.by Carnos Jax - 'Friendly' Political Ranting
Re: @#$%&! Just lost a very close family member to Covid! - 9 days ago
Quotespace-time Any word if the surviving family changed their mind? No word. On top of that their two children recently became nurses. They too are anti-VAX or‘s. Not sure how this will change any of that. Either they all become more entrenched, and claim it’s God‘s will, Or completely fall apart. There is not much middle ground here.by Carnos Jax - 'Friendly' Political Ranting

Quotep8712 Maybe try to teach them that political and religious views are not the same thing. Yes, we’ve had pleasant and very adult (not immature) conversations about this topic over the years. This topic being evangelical support of right wing politics. We’ve casually talked to them about their anti-vaccine stance as well.

Re: @#$%&! Just lost a very close family member to Covid! - 9 days ago
Thank you everyone. These guys were evangelical Christians too. There’s something evil when that community can’t police disinformation like this. In my rage, I get illogical thoughts like wanting to have nothing to more to do with this/my family. If they are going to do this to themselves, I don’t want to be hurt from them anymore. Of course I know I won’t do that.by Carnos Jax - 'Friendly' Political Ranting

Despite their political views, which we had no problem with, the reason they were so close (besides being family) was because they were, and in particular he, was one of the nicest people one can meet.by Carnos Jax - 'Friendly' Political Ranting

Forgot to update this thread with the results. The fix worked exactly as expected. Igniter came in less than 24 hours from the time I ordered it (basically was waiting for me when I woke up). Very stoked! Saved a few hundred dollars at the least. Only cost me $15, and an hours worth of my time (research, ordering parts, installation).by Carnos Jax - Tips and Deals

I’d have to agree, there’s no comparison. The criticisms applied to Facebook are not at all appropriate here. Furthermore, I use Facebook a lot as well, I didn’t take any of the criticisms in this thread as an offense to Facebook. The concerns brought up are valid ones, and have nothing to do with maintaining close relationships with family and friends (you could still have that on Facebooby Carnos Jax - Tips and Deals
