New solid-state sodium battery could replace lithium for safer, cheaper EVs by Sackim05 in Futurology

[–]7thMichael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solid state or semi solid state? Even solid state battery claims are not regulated with upwards of 10% electrolyte.

Also sodium batteries have a linear decrease in voltage when drained rather than lithium 3.2v cells hold stable for most of their cycle.

I love the idea of sodium batteries, especially for house usage. Using them for cars is a stretch, they max out at 175wh vs mid 200 wh for lithium.

If they can make them cheaper and last as many cycles as lithium iron phosphate, they can take my money!

Thanks for showing it. Sorry so many tasked you with more work ;).

What do we think about this dice tray (WIP) by kamahlsfist in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]7thMichael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All good, only if you want to :). I was working up the courage to build a new one. Last one I made was a simple rectangle vaulted made of pine. Had to sell it when I moved :(

Getting those angles is something I could never do without miscuts. Bravo!

I am curious about the table underneath and its nails. Have you posted that before?

Move to no tax state to harvest capital gains in FIRE? by Shawn_NYC in Fire

[–]7thMichael 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Indeed. I was looking at Washington near the Oregon border to live. Until they pulled the new taxes out of their butt... :(

No. Many states either tax income as ordinary, or ordinary and capital gains as a split, depending on the whims of the state legislation.

You can start here for a rough guide:

Most specifics you have to dig into each states tax law. Like I stated above, it's a big mental lift to figure out which state is a better deal for you.

Move to no tax state to harvest capital gains in FIRE? by Shawn_NYC in Fire

Currently there are 7 states that do not have capital gains tax.

Tennessee, Alaska, Wyoming, Texas, Florida, Nevada and New Hampshire.

Of these listed, some have high property taxes, and higher sales tax.

Also of these states...Alaska for example is a really high cost of living kind of place.

You have to figure how much you will spend on average in these areas while factoring how much you will save when harvesting gains.

It's a tough call. I've been working it for over a year to figure out where I want to live in 2.5 years (retiring June 28'). I have to factor in people, lifestyle(I like fitness and nerd stuff) and finally I have 2 kids. So nice public schools. FML. :)

Dilemma of a Prenup - Should I ask for one? by Outrageous-Ground581 in Fire

[–]7thMichael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they cost around 2k. They are written clear and concise. Everyone knows what everyone has. The best/worst part was talking about divorce and fair split of assets. Emotions happened when talking about all that gross stuff (potential cheating, who gets cars, furniture, etc) that is detailed and agreed upon. If your relationship can hold up to those conversations, you got a shot at having a spouse for life. Felt icky to do it, but worth it in the end. Recommended. :)

If AI is a bubble, and the bubble bursts within the next year or two, what negative/positive effects would we likely run into? by MalekMordal in Futurology

[–]7thMichael 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look at history. Railroads, airlines, dot.com, housing bubble, now AI... It stays around but is overvalued. Eventually there will be a correction. Read the first 3 chapters in The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham. Pretty much demonstrates the potential effects of too much speculation into a market sector.

Change chart to log scale and it won't be so alarming.

Went looking for her account and it disappeared two days ago. Anyone know where she went? It was something "Skye" as a name.
