    Investing General Discussion

    I think the value in an advisor is someone to talk you out of selling low and buying high. Very few people actually just put money into an index fund and let it sit. How many people do you know that have been in cash for 2,3,4 or 5 years now because the market is going to correct? I work in a...

    Yeah, I'm aware. Viacom is going all in on just being on cable. I wouldn't be surprised to see their channels drop off of DTVnow at some point.

    Sling Orange package has Disney channel and is $20/mo. For both of them, Directvnow has both but will run you closer to $50/mo.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    My mom is bipolar. As long as she stays on her meds, then she's mostly fine. She's a little too talkative and will call me a couple times a row if she really wants to ask me a question. Though, I'm not sure if that's bipolar or just being a mom. Other than that, she's pretty normal...

    DTVN also has the worst on demand and no dvr. If you're looking for live TV, it's not bad, but Vue is going to be the best if you want to timeshift things.

    If it's old enough, you may be able to get a local reclamation shop to come and take it out for you for free. Old tubs are trendy right now.

    Seriously, if you haven't had fees refunded recently, call the bank and ask. I work at a large bank and we'd refund that no problem if you haven't had fees refunded recently.

    Xfinity beta app available on Roku

    Once it's out of beta, Comcast is going to start charging for this, like if you had an extra box. It'll be a little discounted from a rented box, but it's still stupid. Comcast Comes To Roku (but it's not the app you wanted)

    As long as you're ok being locked into the Amazon app store instead of the Google Play app store. For kids stuff it should be fine, just check the store first to make sure it has all the apps you want. Also understand that even with popular apps, they're usually a few months behind the Play...

    I hope so. I cancelled for now. My 3 months is up in the middle of March, so if more features are on the way by then, I'll re-up.

    I have it too. Got in with the prepay for 3 mos and get a free Apple TV. The channel selection is by far the best, but no DVR makes me sad. It also isn't on the Roku yet, so I have to move around a Chromecast to cover all the TVs.

    Amazon Fresh

    I use it. The produce is reasonable, but they're super expensive for meats/seafood. As long as you don't mind overpaying it's nice. And they forgot my bag of onions last week.

    It's the first time. In LCK they said it multiple times. There was an episode a few seasons back where they berated a guy for not giving up immunity. Edit: I found it, from the AV Club review of the episode (A gimmicky elimination challenge and a depressing exit make this Top Chef a bummer)...

    Retirement bullshit

    The bigger issue for seniors is that the CPI that it's matched to doesn't match the spending increases that they are seeing. It's all well and good that overall inflation is low, but if healthcare and food are what's going up, then it's going to affect seniors the hardest as that's a big...

    Retirement bullshit

    Think of the match as a 50% guaranteed return to start. No reason to at least go to the match. Most plans these days have target date retirement plans that adjust as you age. If you want a set it and forget it portfolio, those are the way to go.

    It's actually worse. He's got the 4th worst run support in the majors this year. 7th worst last season. 34th worst the season before. Felix's is run support is historically about a 1/3 run a game better. Either way, they're both fucking awful. I can pull up the Sox score in the 6th and...
