    frustrated lol my 2 story home is ~2500sf. modest. the previous owner cut a hole in the upstairs master bedroom and built a patio deck. in the 13 years I've been here, i've been out there maybe 20 times. the yards aren't big and you're basically just looking down on the neighbors. the...

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)

    obviously the stronger is dependent on the writer more than anything else, see Squirrel Girl defatting Thanos But for Galactus, if he's written well, he's crazy strong. one of the coolest stories I know of is when he's sent to the dark dimension and fights Dormammu

    obviously do what you can do you don't have to sell and don't have to take out retirement early. i'd tend to sell before dipping if it comes down to it. if you can find a job that aligns w/ a lower cost of living location, that might be best. selling your place to rent for slightly less in...

    if money market accounts dropped their rates from 4% to 1%, you'd certainly see a drop. people are exchanging X stocks for Y dollars today at those 4% numbers. If 4% dropped to 1%, people would want X+Z for the same amount of Y

    I think they need R for human blood. You can have as much alien blood as you want and not be forced into an R rating. Hopium detected

    I'm planning to relisten to them just before the next book comes out. I agree with what others are saying, there's so much detail that you know you're missing something you forgot from a previous book.

    that's kind of the point of role playing isn't it? the GM sets forth a setting and the players react. not having a plan may be why it feels to true to anyone that did d&d as a kid

    I haven't read these, but got the audio based on this thread I found the first book a difficult listen. I'm not English major, but this came off as childish. Not the RPG part, but how the story was told. They dialog was overly informative? Like the writer didn't know how to the the story. By...

    Deathstalker (2025)

    Beastmaster is (or was) on Amazon prime. Fantastic movie, I think my balls dropped when I was in the theater watching it. If you watch it on Amazon, their algorithm will suggest hundreds of 80s campy movies.

    despite their best efforts, intel still sells a ton of chips. amd and qualcomm are increasing market share sure. but any other company in the world that executed like intel wouldn't still be #1 in their space. i can see intel regaining control of the wheel and pushing them out, again. intel...

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

    There's a list of super wealthy who have crazy roths. Even if the money goes in, taxed at ~50%, they can buy these limited access stocks. I think Mitt Romney has one worth millions.

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

    It's a spectrum. If you're making good money but still drowning in credit card debt, Dave Ramsey is right for you. If your only dept is maybe a mortgage and your savings rate is over 23%, Dave probably does sound crazy.

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

    Like others said, very much yes. The biggest thing is living on less than you make. There's a bunch of good YouTube channels that might motivate you; Dave Ramsey, Graham Stepan, The Money Guys. Will give you a rounded view on how to think about money.
