    Speaking of steak cooking methods, I tried out that food lab frozen steak method and it was one of the best steaks I've ever cooked at home. Perfectly medium rare throughout with almost no grey band at all. I actually couldn't believe it.

    Actually, one banana can kick someone out of ketosis. Especially if they are a completely sedentary lardass. The risk is real. So why risk it? Fat people aren't known for their undeniable lust for fruit anyway.

    So, you got some extra money laying around

    I know people who do that in suburban CT, which is very far from being one of the lowest cost of living states in the country. Also, you probably shouldn't compare a person who is "retired" with no children to a struggling family who owns nothing (i.e. needs to still rent)

    So, you got some extra money laying around

    $40k/yr is certainly not even close to poverty level if you truly live in one of the lowest cost of living areas in the US. Why are you abbreviating cost of living?

    Keto 101 is actually to stay away from most fruits because of the sugar content, but he's hinging every single belief of his on that one principle of staying in ketosis, when he doesn't need to stay in ketosis.

    I have no real experience with Betterment yet to speak of. I opened my account up less than a month ago so I don't have any history. I just get 2 years free if I get 3 people to sign up using my referral link. I'm such a shill.

    I don't know about apple pies, because I think cooked apple is an abomination. But fresh apple slices with cheese, pretty much any kind of cheese, are awesome.

    Have you ever actually read up on that? Just because you shouldn't eat most fruit while trying to stay in ketosis in the true ketogenic phases of a low carb diet doesn't mean it's unhealthy. Certain fruits have very little nutritional value. Watermelon for instance. Other fruits are...

    Paying off your mortgage early shouldn't be difficult if you didn't borrow more than you should have. I have $219k left on my loan. I really wish at this point I hadn't gone with an FHA. The big saving grace for me is that it's a duplex and almost the entirety of the mortgage payment is covered...

    Not sure how you were invested but the bond funds are the culprit in my Betterment account as far as why it's down. Why pull out so fast from a long term investment account?

    Headhunters?

    Software is probably the easiest industry to fill positions for so I wouldn't be surprised if it's a bit different in other fields. However, the story you were told by the recruiters who were trying to talk you into paying fees sound like typical snake oil salesmen.

    I've heard so many mixed things about this that I have no idea. I've heard people say idling is bad for the engine. I've heard people say let it idle til it hits 1500 rpm then do whatever. I've heard people say let it idle for at least 5 minutes. Who the fuck knows? Not me!

    Interesting Lyrical. I can tell you, as someone who's worked with recruiters my entire professional career in Software, I have never once heard of a recruiter trying to charge the employee. They always charge the employer.

    Recruiting firms do indeed work "the other way around". You can and should definitely contact a few IT recruiting firms in the area you wish to relocate to. However, you should note that companies will almost always look at resumes of candidates who do not need to relocate to fill the position...

    It depends on the card really. The better the rewards the higher the APR typically because they know people are more willing to push spending limits when they have cards with good rewards. They also do it for cards that offer huge sign up bonuses. People rush to meet the spending quotas which in...

    Well I was talking more to Borzak about using Credit Cards. But you should know 12.9% is not a terrible rate at all. My FICO score is 817 and I regularly get offers at 14.99% or higher at 25k credit limits. That's just how credit cards are, it's why you don't want to ever carry a balance.

    Worrying about the percentage rate on a credit card is weird. Being afraid of credit cards is also weird. Just use them as if they were cash, never charge something you can't immediately pay off in the same day. Not using credit cards is actually a waste for you as a consumer. You're...
