Where do you work? Big Bank What do you do? (Title/keywords) Information Security Advisor What field/industry? IT / InfoSec Wages? ~$105k Bonuses/SEP? Yeah. Not sure on the details yet as it's a new gig. Benefits? All of them. I'm in Communist Norway, so ... 6 weeks paid vacation, 6 months...

I like how SpaceX have changed how we perceive the challenge of relanding boosters from "that's stupidly impossible" to "oh, yeah, they did it again" in less than a year.

Timeframe is that I will hold until I die or Google finds out how to not die. Of course, I will make changes to the portfolio along the way, but basically the strategy is: Every month, I buy more with savings (or hold cash for a few months if the exchange rate is bad/market is overpriced). At...

I considered going the pre-sales route as well (I've done a fair bit of it through the years). For $$$, that's definitely the way to go - and I may head in that direction later. But right now, the challenge of sorting out security for a big bank was very tempting. Yeah, that sounds similar...

Currently I have - Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF - Vanguard Div Appreciation ETF As well as the usual suspects (MMM, JNJ, IBM, TGT, VZ and a few more)

Strategy is dividends. Slow and steady. I tried exciting. That wasn't much fun.

Starting a new job on Monday. I lucked into infosec some 13 years ago when I started my career: I have a degree in CompSci that was very much a Software Engineering-degree, but graduated together with the bubble bursting and there were no coding jobs to be found for months. So I got desperate...

Well, that would startle anyone. Oh wait, you said popped.

This dropped on steam some days ago, and I picked it up. Been enjoying it very much. I've always liked base building games, and this one seems to scratch that itch very well. Nothing like having Frank the Brewer going insane and running around putting stuff on fire because Fred his pet Alpacca...

I did the same thing, a couple of years ago. 6'4, and normally sitting at 206-208. Dropped to 190 just to see if I could do it. 5 weeks of ketosis did the job. Then straight back up. I'm very comfortable at around 207.

We've just started watching Black Sails. I now fully expect that pirate who was stabbed/twisted in the gut and pronounced dead to reappear later.

What if Arya was pregnant with Jaquen's child, and that was where the blood came from!?

Crazy theories are fun: Jaquen does not want to kill Area. She has saved him before, and he is sympathetic to her. He can't go back on his word however. The god needs a face. He takes on Arya's face himself, taking her place and letting the Waif attack him. He expects to be killed, but at...

Yeah. And it doesn't really register until something happens to your child. Daughter was diagnosed with T1 diabetes about 2 months ago (she's 8). Fortunately she's an awesome little person, and although she's unhappy about stabbing herself with needles multiple times a day, calculating carbs...

I've managed to put in a few hours here and there, and I'm having a great time. I suspect this will be my primary game for a the next few years.

Well, it looks like it works out at about 5 years per chapter. So. A few still to go.

Got the house reappraised, remortgaged and credit cards paid off. So I finally have room in the budget to save some for the future. This is all fairly new to me (have known the basics for a while), so read the Boglehead book and trawled a few other sites. To begin with, I have about $10k...

I see that point. Personally, DOMS from hell motivates me. That's when I feel (stupid, I know), that the workout really worked.

NOT doing full body workouts as a beginner is stupid. Most people that start out lifting can easily go 3-4 months of three full body workouts per week before they need to ease off and focus on single body parts. And that's if they stick with the regime. Most normal people who miss some...

I tend to think most shakes are too sweet, but I've found that a chocolate-flavored protein powder + 2 shots of espresso is pretty much the best there is.

Dealing with how the fallout from our failed relationships hurt our kids, is one of the most painful experiences one can go through. My kids were 4 and 6 at the time, and that is almost 5 years ago, and I still want to punch their mother for causing them this pain. But: You are now in a...

Dammit. Now I want to reread the entire thing.

Rest in peace, Internet stranger. I am sorry for your loss, Tracy. I will raise a glass of Auchentoshan for Gravy tonight.

Finished FM5 yesterday. I'm fanboi.

Stumbled in here today as I was looking for something to read on the commute train. Came across this thread. Was intrigued and skeptical. Fetched Book 1. Read the first two chapters. Can't wait to read more. I'm thoroughly impressed.

I would agree with this. After reading his posts here and on the Daybreak forums, I can't stand him.

What's the story on Apok and why they folded?

Brain chemistry & hormones != love.

I did "I know you get a bit unstable at this point in your cycle, but calm down a bit". Didn't help.

Idea: The whole is-Stannis-dead-or-is-he-alive-mystery may have been set up to draw attention away from is-Jon-dead-or-is-he-alive?

Just tell her: "I'm going to be recording everything you say from now on", whilst recording and getting her to acknowledge that.

Start carrying around aVARwhen at home. It's really, really cheap insurance against a world of trouble in the future.

It's fantastic drama. Great to have something to read while pulling goblin after goblin on elite isle.

From the logs and stuff I've read, it looks like Rosengard supports FFA, DPS racing and competition - even as they were losing to TL, they would rather compete and win, rather than game the system in their favour.

I've tried 5x5, Starting Strength and a few others. For the last year, I've stuck with GSLP, and I think it's great. I do Krav Maga as well, and GSLP + arms plugin works out well.

I was so oblivious as a kid. And it's only now I realize exactly how clueless I was about shit like this.

And this is exactly why we strongly recommend you proceed with this, and report back here for our amusement.

I am one of your biggest lurker-fans, Onoes, but... WTF? Women notice things like that. So - your ex, who demonstrably does not appreciate being around your girlfriend, is forced to either a) hang a picture on the wall that will remind her EVERY FUCKING DAY about your new gf or b) DON'T hang...

Could I get a copy as well?

I'm 6'4'', and I'd put my ideal weight at around 200 on a pretty scrawny build. If I go below 195 it doesn't look good. Sitting at around 210 now, but staying at a surplus for another 2-3 weeks to fuel lifting. (And personally, I'm in favour of a 4-week ketonic crash diet to drop those...
