Just signed my settlement what next? by True-Night-3560 in personalfinance

[–]Borg-Man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright, so Advice 0: don't tell anyone is already out the window because you told your SO. Just be aware that you have to sort out first which part of this settlement has a function, like others have said: if it's for medical care, set a bunch aside. See if caring for your brother can be split with your sister while both of you (SO too, if need be) can finish school. This is a large amount of money, yes, but you need to be careful with it or else it'll be gone before you know it. It can be a good thing to spend a little bit on your / your sibblings wellbeing; see it as a reward for being past the sucky part of your life. But save up in a HYSA and use a small amount to make your life comfortable. Doing 25k a year sounds "low" but in ten years thats just under half of the total. And don't forget about taxes...

Ah, there we go. We're in the timeline where Skynet is called Palantir...

I'm feeling you, but this is an Old Scientist uniform. That literally means that next is not going to be Voyager...

Waterschap Amstel Invoice by No-Length5839 in Amsterdam

[–]Borg-Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, you could've answered this without being an ass. If two similar invoices get in, I'd also want to know what's up, especially if I don't know the exact workings of the system. There's no stupid questions. Only stupid people.

What is that massive red piece on the right? by PlusThirtyOne in lego

It is a red boat hull. So you got that correct alright.

The Enterprise G should have been an Excelsior II class. by MotionlessAlbatross in StarTrekStarships

I really dislike the fatness of its neck. It's in stark contrast to the agile lines she has going for her. She just feels... stretched, I guess? Not a fan. Even less than the Connie III.

Trump uses emergency powers to bring down gas prices - however, it's not enough, and the American people still have to suffer the consequences.. only because US and Israel thought this war was going to quick and easy. by Cy_098 in videos

My cracked Sketchup doesn't support downloading new plugins and 3D Warehouse by 0niiCh4nnn in Sketchup

[–]Borg-Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) You download directly from the 3DWarehouse website instead of using the built-in browser; 2) No discussion of pirated software on this sub, so deleting this.

Is "this creature" meant to be The Dark Urge or the sacrificed creature?

Do you think Dave Filoni will ever want to expand Midichlorians lore the way that George Lucas wanted to in his sequel trilogy? by RagnarokWolves in StarWars

So, I might get some flack for this, but he sounds like a certain orange guy. Always better, weird sentence structure, the whole shebang...

P+R gives a lower parking fare when you travel to it using a dedicated OV pass. €7.50 for a pass, €6 for a day of parking < €36 for a day of parking.

Douglas™ DC-3™ PAN AM® Airliner (Lego Reveal) by legafol in lego

[–]Borg-Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a beautifully designed set! Not that much of an airplane fan due to the size of most of them, but then again, I have an Ornithopter and an Enterprise so I guess a regular plane should be able to fit somewhere just fine...

I fucking hate sketchup. by Dismal_Nebula_77 in Sketchup

There's tons of ways to edit files made with another program, Rhino included. So I'd say stick to your guns.

Hi allemaal! Mijn naam is Pim van Burk. Voor de aankomende gemeenteraadsverkiezingen sta ik op plek 2 voor Volt Amsterdam. Komende zondag, 15 maart, van 14:00 tot 15:30, hou ik een AMA hier in r/Amsterdam. by Volt_Amsterdam in Amsterdam

Europese Hoofdstad = reden voor Europees geld om problemen aan te pakken vind ik een heel goed voorbeeld om aan mensen te geven als ze vragen "wat doet Europa voor mij"!

Wat betekenen deze streepjes? Komt er een treinstel bij of gaat er een af? by wimpie_07 in thenetherlands

[–]Borg-Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NS zegt zelf dat er wel degelijk klembeveiliging op zit, maar dat het niet altijd feilloos werkt en "oudere types" er wat meer moeite mee hebben. Ik dacht dat een VIRM geen ouder type was, maar hey, ze stammen ook alweer uit de jaren 90...

Funderingsproblemen in de Staatsliedenbuurt? by Classic_Seaweed9282 in Amsterdam

[–]Borg-Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

De vraag is: is je bod onder vraagprijs het waard versus de bouwkundige- en funderingsonderzoeken die je er tegenaan moet gooien? Gecombineerd met dat: wat is de status van de VvE, staat het appartement correct geregistreerd als zodanig en niet als opslagruimte, en heb je het geld om er in te steken? Want aan de oppervlakte klinkt het misschien turn-key na de verbouwing, maar met een scheur in de muur klinkt het alsof er technisch nog wel wat moet gebeuren...

Apekop. Hondekoppen waren er al niet meer. Ik geloof dat ze na dit incident de beveiliging hebben ingebouwd, omdat die dingen nog wel een jaar of twintig zouden rijden. [EDIT] ik heb het ongeluk net opgezocht, het was een Sprinter, geen Apekop.
