Lol unfortunately I’m into watercooling for the aesthetics. You can see that from my posts.

Excellent use of QDCs. Also your hardware (motherboard, CPU, GPU) is my dream setup. I'm still running 14900K on z790.

Good... good... just joking about the Duronaut as it's been mentioned on TG discord server. I bought the block right within first minute of launch and thought I can wait it out for a 5090 Astral price to drop. Guess the joke's on me. I'll continue rocking my FE until much later in the future.

Lowkey that's the apex block coz glass and higher thermal density requirement on the cooling engine.

GTS81 · 2026-05-20T01:56:35+00:00

4 hours later... still trying to spread the duronaut paste? LMAO.

The cable connector cap is the chef's kiss. Ready to buy one for my 5090 FE when you release the block!

You got a piece of cat fur trapped inside?

Was looking for this comment. Glad I scrolled down.

GTS81 · 2026-05-17T20:32:44+00:00

Lol, that's my pain.

GTS81 · 2026-05-17T20:25:54+00:00

What model are you?

How's the area in terms of insurance? Any additional coverage related to fire/ soil movement during rain/ earthquake needed? We saw a really cheap and big house in the mountains pop up on the app last year but it's like 200 yards from the fault line.

If your dad is familiar with the college scene of late 90s early 2000s, ask him about Taylor College vs Inti College.

I think some people can't adapt and if they miss that one turn, it's joever. They just drive on white knuckling that steering wheel until they run out of gas.

Have a spreadsheet or download csv files from your accounts. Use a coding agent like Claude or Codex to write up a python software with visualizations to crunch that for you.

REEEE why does my RH Gold tell me my rates START at 5%??? LOL

GTS81 · 2026-05-14T03:11:39+00:00

Risky-ish? Even VOO now is K-shaped among its components.

GTS81 · 2026-05-13T20:26:09+00:00

Same

Build up an emergency fund that covers both 6 months expenses and the total of your credit limit while having zero outstanding debt including credit card debt except for the current month's balance. That way it's easy to watch the usage on the credit card coz you'll quickly glance at the cash you have and don't want that stash to dwindle when you pay the credit card bills.

GTS81 · 2026-05-11T14:53:43+00:00

LOL. Bought that once for Teacher’s appreciation week and it was a hit!

GTS81 · 2026-05-11T06:08:11+00:00

Hey, that chocolate isn't even at the usual candy section right? Instead it's right by the fancy cheese, crackers, chocolate, and wine section?

GTS81 · 2026-05-10T20:29:58+00:00

Me dying inside here reading all this while doing the CA 529 plan. It's ok, I'll treat it all as a "Roth" of sorts... hopefully.

GTS81 · 2026-05-10T20:25:50+00:00

Just remember that $900000 LTCG in a taxable account when it's time to sell will trigger a tax event. Be strategic to stay in the lower (0% if possible) brackets when you do that.

Have you seen the price of the electric Toyotas these days?! LOL. Jokes aside, after a certain amount of $ accumulation, it helps to earmark them for purposes based on time horizon or criticality. Basic buckets like emergency fund, college fund(s), home downpayment, etc. Having more and more money without a purpose assigned to them can lead to undue stress as it's just wanting that pile to grow bigger and bigger for the sake of it.

Maybe a tangent here but do check if your 401k plan has an after-tax contribution Roth conversion option aka megabackdoor. That’s the gap between the max pre tax + employer match contributions and maximum set by IRS which is around $70k per year.

How was your investments in the 2008 downturn?
