    SVB: Biggest bank failure since '08

    I'm frankly surprised that the FDIC hasn't been using it's lever of increasing the % of deposits banks must hold as a way to shrink the money supply in addition to what they're doing with the fed funds rate. It would both reduce lending and create more resiliancy in the banking system...

    If he had 2 billion dollars: Powerball Winner Buys Massive $25.5M Hollywood Hills Home

    Honestly, I probably wouldn't domicile though, but who cares if one of your places is in a lovely place to visit? For the money we have, yes, you can't do that, but he can easily have a couple of places and if his dream is to have this as one he goes to in the winter, he can swing it. You want...

    There is a concept called a home office. It’s a team of full and part timers who manage stuff for you. I’d start with a huge law firm that has a reputation more valuable than my money Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Re-sealing the roof and base of a port-a-port hangar

    for the rusted ground contact metal, i would wire brush the loose rust, wipe down with a rag with rubbing alcohol, then spray with a rust converter/ecapsulator (VHT,Eastwood, etc), then after that dries, paint. sounds hard but really could be done in 30 minutes. you could then do the henry's...

    Fist time taking my son up...interesting experience

    If only such a centralized way to give notice to people in the air existed. I'm glad to see the airport is busy, but think it's unrealistic to check the FB pages or call the FBO of every airport you might do a touch and go at. I feel like it was adequate and expected flight planning to review...

    Rivian R1S

    I really like the Rivian R1S from what I've seen. If I were buying an electric SUV today, it would be the top pick for us. We're looking to use our current fleet for 2-3 years and then see what's on the market across gas, diesel and electric and probably do a fleetwide update.

    Heating Oil Tank Decommissioning

    WA state also has an insurance program, run by the state for this. YOu may be covered by this when you were still getting oil delivered. Worth looking into. Heating Oil Pollution Liability Insurance Program - The Pollution Liability Insurance Agency (wa.gov)

    printer for home use

    Bill, they're right on. I have a brother LASER multi function. I can print cheap (the off brand toner is like $15 for thousands of pages) and it has a scanner/etc when I'm dealing with contracts and forms and saves me trips to town. they are way under $300, especially if you pick one up here...

    Can a man have too many tools? [NA]

    I can't talk you out of it, as I'm finally getting "grown up" tools set up in my garage after decades of fixing cars by wandering around looking for tools. Got a HF roller case and splurged on some Snap On sockets and wrenches. the rest will be "the best of what I have". Realizing it doesn't...
