Did you check your spam folder? That is where I found my reset link.

[quote=The-Shoveler]I think all insurance costs have gone up considerably.
From my experience anyway.[/quote]

If your insurance went up almost 1300% like that condo association saw, I feel sorry for you!

I just checked – my homeowners insurance went up 15% in August.

My auto insurance went up 9%.

I’ll take that over 1300% any day!

[quote=scaredyclassic]Autophagy. Deep autophagy. Intermittent fasting is a start. Longterm fasting is more.

Extreme is 3 meals a day, snacks at night, desserts, alcohol. Normal is extreme.[/quote]

Wouldn’t disagree with that. I think the human body is most efficient somewhere between what typical humans do now and a pure water diet.

Question: why do we have fat?[/quote]

I’ve always heard it stores energy for periods when food sources are not available – I didn’t google search it to see if that has been disproven.

Perhaps your water diet doesn’t feel so bad because you are working through that fat reserve…

[quote=XBoxBoy]Did you talk to your doctor about this? Reading online, and from what I’ve heard in the past, you should only water fast for 2-3 days. Longer than that can cause medical issues. (Although I can’t tell you what issues…)[/quote]

Extreme anything isn’t good for you. Even water.

Except that extra $208 a month only buys them 1/5 of the insurance they had before. So either they were over-insuring before or they are under-insuring now.

Multiply that 208 by 5 and the number gets ugly fast.

Hopefully $50M in insurance won’t cost them 5 times what $10M costs.

The book?

Look at this looong list of EVs coming out in 2023!

2023 will be the year the tide turns…it will be the EV age from here on out.

They will all be vying for market share so this is another thing pointing to better new car deals next year.

There are some very nice EV choices in the 2023 list!

Looks like it hasn’t been mentioned yet so I’ll do it now:

Don’t buy through Carvana. That company appears to be about to go under and you don’t want to be in the middle of a transaction when that happens.

Oh, and they seem to have a problem supplying the vehicle title to customers…

There are people I’ve known long term who neglected their teeth for decades and when they were older and wiser tried to change course. I know folks on here say teeth can self-heal, but in my opinion if that is possible at all it is very limited.

Choose wisely.

I am really OK with the move to EV. Not crazy about it being forced upon people, but I can see it is about time for ICE to yield the floor – just thinking about how an internal combustion engine works – it is ancient technology.

The transition is not likely to be all that smooth and we’re already seeing that. So hang on for another 10 years or so as its gonna be a bumpy ride.

No way.[/quote]

I’m with you there. No Teslas in my future either.

2023 Prius.

My kids were talking about the new Prius at Thanksgiving – really a sharp vehicle! Kudos to Toyota!

I’ve been a long-term Prius hater because they were just so darn ugly. I mean purposely ugly. With small wheels even.

But this new one is just the opposite. Every line is very attractive. Especially the sides where that line kicks up to meet the rear bumper seam. And even the way the perfectly square door cuts across that character line where it kicks up.

I always joke with my sons that designers can usually get either the front end or the back end right, but not both. It’s like they have a great concept for one end of the car but by the time they get to the other end they can’t figure out another good design to match the opposite end. Well the new Prius doesn’t have that problem. Front, back, sides, all good! That’s rare.
