    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Problem with Ogres is they have to either shrink them, and players just get to be "runt ogres" (like those hobgoblin assistant whatever things), they have to scale up everything in the world to accommodate for their size, or make it where they just can't go through tiny spaces which breaks a...

    Retirement... (i.e. what are you going to be after you've grown up)

    I once worked in a small company, it was sold to and absorbed by a larger company based in Schaumberg. They were so cheap they figured the best way to have a company sales kick off was to force everybody to spend a week in Schaumberg (sp? like IGAF?).. And spend it there for yearly kickoff.. in...

    I have recently engaged the services of a financial advisor, but also because I have a specific need that I want someone experienced in navigating to assist with in order to minimize costs to me. In my case I had a windfall from a company I worked at which produced a very sizable pile of that...

    Retirement... (i.e. what are you going to be after you've grown up)

    This is surprisingly close to my plan, but you're taking more time to do it than I plan on. Although I'm not moving out of Dallas because I have any particular dislike of the city. I just want more space where I can have an overly indulgent garage/workshop.

    He also shifted for more WFH so he could be around and assist with the kids, brought in a nanny a few days a week to assist her as well, and if I read things right was to the point she didn't have to work a job anymore so she was a stay at home.

    I was really wondering about this as well, since they made a moderately big deal about him coming back on board when it happened.... I think they need to build up to trying to redeem WoD ;)

    My version of "cloud" is the 21TB RAID array in my workshop..... I have an NVMe enclosure, but I am constantly paranoid about remembering that every so many months you need to plug it in for a few.

    Oh definitely, because when it comes down to it performance of SSDs over HDDs can't really be denied. But it's not a reason not to have a backup ;)

    This. This is my underlying theory. There are images I have from old scanned photos which either I don't own, or have been lost to time from my family, and scanned documents, and other things which I REALLY don't want to think about never having access to. And IMHO if you're going to drop...

    Call me paranoid about NVMe, but I would find a way to work in one big ass Sata HDD to, if nothing else, just store a nightly image of the other 4 drives on... Just in case. Don't know why I'm always weary of various SSD technologies.. but I am....

    I hold this to the same bar I held the MK movie to. Does it realize what it is? Does it attempt to be the epitome of what it is? This should not be a high bar looking at the cast and trailers. What do I want to see? People fighting, Chun-li whipping ass, and innocent background cars getting...

    Yeah, it definitely doesn't work well for your long term "lifelong" strategy. In my case I'm only considering it this late as a way to help shave a little off the tax portion of what I'm going to owe diversifying out of a large overly-concentrated position.

    That's part of the structure. I'm not buying a "fund". I am funding an account, then within that account their people buy all the individual stocks , buying and selling actual individual shares, and weaving around wash sale rules. So I don't own $100k of <fund>, I own $100k of individual...

    I agree, which is why I'm digging through their stuff right now. Just didn't know if anybody else was leveraging this strategy... Seems it's called "tax-loss harvesting via direct indexing". They manage an account and inside it they individually invest in a mix of stocks approximating an...
