I luckily snagged some shares at the end of last year as part of a broader AI play and now I’m trying to figure out what to do…for anyone considering starting a position (if that exists, although volume traded today was 3x the daily avg), what’s your bull case at these price levels?

ChatGPT noted the possibility of a fuel supplier monopoly via the recent Tennessee Project, but having a hard time making sense of further upside
@bayoubengal - curious, why aren’t you interested in exercising any of your calls?

I’ve got some deep in the money calls that I’m considering exercising as part of a long term plan to add to my share count and partially soften the short cap gains tax.
In regards to the Avride business...I've seen tons of the little last mile food delivery robots cruising around downtown Austin over the last few months. Today I saw an Avride Hyundai IONIQ 5 for the first time... pretty cool to see in action.
Tasca Pete - tiny restaurant with fantastic food and wine. Feels like you’re hanging out at a friend’s place.

Lupita for pizza - one of the better pizzas I’ve had in a long time.

Breakfast - Breakfast Lovers hits the spot

Go catch the sunset at Castelo de S. Jorge and grab a beer.
When you get burnt out of pintxos, go to Gerald's bar for dinner. Best meal I had during my stay in San Sebastian. Also have a few drinks then mosey on up to the top point of Old Town for sunset .

Check out Biarritz while in France. IMO much more to do and see than SJL. I'd recommend staying here and just doing a day trip to SJL.

Spent the long wknd there for presidents day. No mask required anywhere we went or anyone wearing them
I hadn't really considered Croatia. Been there once and loved it. Will check it out more.

I do like to "try" to surf. I hear Portugal has some good spots. Got any recs?

Appreciate all the recs and comments.

Sounds like the North Coast regions of Spain are the spots. Big fan of beach towns and appreciate the greener locations with outdoor options. I've only heard awesome things about San Sebastian and the surrounding areas, so will zone in on those.

Will prob end up splitting half the time in Portugal since it gets me one hour closer to US and apparently there's a solid digital nomad scene there.

Working Remotely in Europe

Posted by Bearded_Chow25 on 2/2/22 at 9:34 pm
I'm planning to work remotely in Europe this summer for 1-3 months.

Currently zoning in on Portugal and coastal towns of Spain / France. Specifically looking at doing some combination of a few of these spots: Maderia, Portugal beach towns, Basque country, Bidart, Biarritz.

Anyone have any favorite recs that would be cool to check out to work remotely? I'm single and I'm in my early 30s.
Coiencidently just spent a month in each SD and Laguna working remotely.

Laguna:
-surfing
-mtn biking /trail running in canyons
-hit the beach coves (Crescent bay was my favorite cove)
-play 9 at the ranch golf course
-favorite restaurant was Ahba - awesome atmosphere
-get food/drinks from whole foods and catch a sunset

SD
-surf
-kayak / paddle board in la jolla
-ride your bike /jog on the strand in PB or around Mission Bay
- eat dinner in little italy (born and raised roof top was fantastic)
-Puesto in La jolla had fire tacos, pricy tho (go on Tuesday)
I've lived in San Francisco the last 3+ years.

Have to bite my tongue around co-workers and all the BS company internal social / D&I initiatives. One big ole echo chamber. But hey I got Juneteenth off as a holiday and played golf.
The Landing is pretty swanky.
Any thoughts on Alaska? No exposure internationally but operate heavily on the west coast.

I own LUV but looking to scoop up ALK and DAL at some point.

Live in SF and spent a weekend there a few weeks ago. Great spot, but I imagine you'd be bored spending any more than 2 nights there.

As mentioned, Stinson, Muir beach/woods, and Point Reyes are all great and close. Maybe make Bolinas home base and do a day trip or two.

Just spent 3 nights in Marrakech and 1 night glamping an hour outside of the city.

Stayed in a Riad in the Medina (old city). Markets are cool and never ending. Everyone is trying to make a buck off you so be prepared to say no firmly, especially when people offer directions and "show you the way". The majority of the people we encountered spoke french and English.

They also have a casino there in a part of town that caters to the international crowd.
Looking at possibly skiing Japan in February, specifically Niseko or Hakuba Valley.

Anyone ever skiied Japan or heard anything noteworthy?
You can use apple / Google pay on their public transportation. Pretty convenient

Labor Day Travel Ideas

Posted by Bearded_Chow25 on 6/13/18 at 11:08 am
I'm planning on taking the full week off of work before Labor Day and travel internationally but having a hard time coming up with a good destination for late August. I would have ~9 days to travel.

Initial thoughts were SE Asia or some islands in the Carribean but I'm concerned with the wet/hurricane season. Right now my back up plan is to fly Canada and travel south down the west coast but ideally I'd prefer to hit up something more exotic or outside North America.

Anyone have any international recs for late August travel?

Flora Farms - Good lunch or dinner spot. Would be cool to checkout the farm/property during the day. We ran into Rob Lowe there and forced him to take a picture with us. :dude:

Ediths- Nice dinner

It looks like the office is downtown Miami about a mile from the American Airline arena where the Heat play.
