I thought about this, but there are some NDAs I'm under which would severely hamper me from side consultation. The debate has been in my head of just going freelance as a "Rent-a-CISO" or "Field CTO" type consultant as I have more than the experience and capabilities needed for it. The...

Yeah, and this was profit taking of 5% of my stake in it to do some things. If you've seen my other posts in here I'm far from a day trading or even someone attempting to "nail the top", and honestly just surprised that for once I did it. Just wish it hadn't been so the stock could drop 9% in...

Well I'm trying to decide if I should call this a win or not. Wednesday I took some profits off my favorite tech stock, trimmed my position but not by a ton, so I could put some in a few other small piles elsewhere. That stock is now down a little over 9% from where it closed on Wednesday...

So was there some huge tech stock news I didn't see anywhere today that hit? XLK and every internet/cybersecurity stock I have on my radar all took considerable hits.

Did you say "giant battery DIY"? Hell, I have been debating trying this here at my house if I could find a good enough source.. As for your thoughts... Enjoy the rabbit hole : https://hackaday.com/2024/08/13/from-vehicle-to-grid-to-diy-home-powerwalls/ And my thought was not an EV car...

I have mentioned a few times that in my ETF blend for longer term holdings I have a decent little pile of URNM..... I have been very happy as of late with it : Even if it's taken a bit of a beating this week....

I will admit I have been wondering, with my pending plans to eventually move away from town and hopefully built a place with enough solar and battery to be functionally grid independent how much additional solar capacity I would need to think about to also keep a car charged for occasional use...

How convenient... It's just about yearly review employee self input time where I work, and you did my job for me. Thanks! Unrelated :

So far I've been really underwhelmed. Although they have a CnC I have looked at (but it's not my first choice) on for 20% off. Wondering if there are different deals hitting tomorrow.

Hol up..... Advisor managed portfolio : 13% Just investing in SPY : 12% And I'm betting the advisor is charging at least 1% a year.... Unrelated :

I guess this is somewhere straddling between what I'm listening to and what I'm watching... But there's this guy who is a Gen-Z music producer who apparently had no exposure at all to music from the 60's and 70's. So he's going on this "I'm going to listen to this album all the way through and...

So, I'm gonna drop this here since it's what I'd consider "woodworking adjacent" , it's about using a CnC. I plan on picking one up soon, probably something in the middle on size build plate range (like 20"x20"). But the real endgame for me with it won't be woodworking, it will be graphite...

So you feel the need to talk yourself out of.... Happiness? Joy? Fulfillment? Help me understand here, have you thought about seeing a therapist about this?

Motherfucking Gen Z discovers vacations and thinks they've found a new secret to making careers tolerable...

Short of the becoming an attic gnome for his green card @Lambourne is pretty spot on. I'd also add that from the outside it looks like you're suffering from something of a crisis in the self image department, but it's wholly normal in your situation to be suffering from that. Sounds like you...

I had not seen one of these before. And whereas I know I have no legit use for one (I have a few 40v tools, but not the chainsaw yet) I now have a powerful need....

I can confirm that if you die, you won't be able to access your wallet, since you'll be dead. But if someone else has your keys (i.e. your seed phrase) they can install as compatible wallet app and get into it with your keys I literally made metal plates with my seed phrase on then and...

I can easily remember when I was a kid and I'd get a burger, fries and a drink. (before the age of a "kids meal"). And it was just the regular burger, regular fries, and regular drink. First off, the drink was at tops 16 oz. That's a small drink anywhere now. The fries would at best be a...

I think we've covered this before..... It's like Harry Potter. Except in my case it was "When guys have to do their first real DIY project". For me that was driving to Atlanta in my distant past taking my at the time GF to her college for the semester. She was living in her sorority house...

I've been pondering this recently. I'm in my mid 50's. I feel I probably have one more "act" in my career to pull off somewhere. Right now I'm a pre-sales technical resource for a large cybersecurity vendor. The pay isn't bad, but the job is definitely becoming less and less my cup of tea...

Being raised by my grandfather I have a deeply ingrained level of how straightened up a work area needs to be if I don't want to feel his disapproving stare from the afterlife... ;)

I thought we had a workshop thread, but i guess not. Just finished finally building a shed out back and that cleared a bunch of nonsense I was storing in my workshop (i.e. garage). So installed an additional workbench, now to put some shelves above it. It's the one on the right, adding to the...

OK, next project up... I'm going to try to cast a couple properly ornate skulls with which to (elegantly) strike fear into my enemies. 3d printing this model : Then using a process called "lost PLA casting" or at least my cheap ass bastard version of it. The idea here is: You take an...

Of those three options I think the most probable would be the emergence of a solid alternative for reserve currency and trade usage. BRICS is feigning at it. China and Russia are both stockpiling non USD assets, more and more countries are settling business without translating things into...

*coughcough*There's something ELSE that also happened in 1971...*coughcough* https://wtfhappenedin1971.com

Some of it is that they have done the same thing to CPI that they have done to unemployment numbers. They keep making changes to what is counted and what isn't. Right now, IIRC , CPI is calculated off a "basket of goods" and they won't really tell people what's in the basket, but we do know...

Wasn't this just "part 1" of the season? I wonder if they're setting her up as a horrible person to try to add weight to her "face turn" and redemption arc in the second part of the season. Or was this drop the whole 1st season? Would be a riot if they stopped the show at this point and are...

I had a non-kidney cyst on my hip/groin area. In treating that they did a CT scan and saw the kidney situation. So I suppose lucky in that regard.

So it only took like a month for the specialist urologist to see me, say he needed to talk to a radiologist, talk to them, and get a response. Positive? They're both pretty sure they completely take care of the right side with an ablation (with biopsy) and it would be an outpatient procedure...

In this day and age almost every dr has a "patient portal" which almost always supports file uploads. And almost all devices still have a working USB port on them. heh I've done this. Varied my dinner choice the night before, so they got a monumental morning poop.

Is her bra on backwards in this pic? Or she's like an owl and has turned her head around 180 so that's her back? Right? because if not, then we need to face the fact that I probably have a nicer rack.

See, that's the difference. For some people sex is an activity that leads to a good endorphin/serotonin burst. For you, it's obviously something which has more emotional attachment and significance, which is honestly perfectly normal and healthy (probably more healthy than the "purely...

No, but to be completely honest... If it ever got to the femcel "this has to get fixed" point there are "free agent" options if you wanted to have a "BFE", and those guys you're literally paying to make sure you get your walls properly rattled, but that's another story. heh I'd say right now...
