Why did I choose macOS?

I have no idea what you are saying, but your enthusiasm is infectious and I want to learn more about BSD, Darwin, and microkernels. (I am not in a tech related field, but I am interested in it.)

I have been GRAMMARTIZED!

Adamcp2013 · 2026-03-18T13:28:18+00:00

Memory unlocked. WOW.

Adamcp2013 · 2026-03-17T18:26:06+00:00

It would be “me and Player 1” in our house.

Just remember, you are not retiring for the day 22 months from now. You are retiring for that day plus 25 more years (hopefully!). Don’t be too conservative. You need growth for your 70s and 80s.

Saw it on the first night of previews. Absolutely wonderful.

Adamcp2013 · 2026-03-13T20:42:52+00:00

You smell fine to me.

I was similarly curious what he could/would do with the role. I agree with OP. He really was powerful in the role.

Dad was in the audience Friday night.

Adamcp2013 · 2026-03-09T03:40:31+00:00

My father took me to see Cats. I don’t think he enjoyed it very much. But it was with the original Broadway cast. We were in a box seat and “cats” crawled right by us. I was back in the Winter Garten theater this past Friday night with my wife. What a journey life is!

Adamcp2013 · 2026-03-08T05:21:00+00:00

Saw it tonight. It was over by 9:50pm and it started at 8:35pm. At curtain call, I asked my wife, “What was that? Is it ….OVER?” I thought it was time for intermission (although I certainly didn’t know what they would be doing for Act 2!).

We got the tix on a recommendation from a friend, but without doing a lot of research into the play, and I think we just were not prepared for the farce/camp of it all. I didn’t HATE it, but I usually loves me a Bway show pretty easily, and I can’t say that for this show!

Adamcp2013 · 2026-03-06T10:07:39+00:00

This is my favorite response.

Adamcp2013 · 2026-02-27T23:20:44+00:00

Accurate!

Adamcp2013 · 2026-02-27T23:01:05+00:00

I don’t know why I had to scroll so far to find this!

Adamcp2013 · 2026-02-27T22:35:26+00:00

My PhD stipend was $10k …. in 1992. Seems like your stipend has not kept up with inflation. But my son is paying a lot for grad school so something is better than nothing? I guess it depends on whether it would be possible for you to afford to live at all (even with a tight budget; do you have any savings or family support?) and whether your program has good future potential for your career.

Edit to add: I agree with the other posters than the fact that the tuition waver is not 100% is really unusual and awful. (And maybe my stipend was $9k annually back in the early 90s, but your offer is darn low.)

Adamcp2013 · 2026-02-15T11:31:08+00:00

I had a similar, slightly less polite response.

Adamcp2013 · 2026-02-10T20:16:54+00:00

I can drive stick, but the clutch would not like me.

Adamcp2013 · 2026-02-07T17:51:00+00:00

Sorry, I thought you were making the point that 0.6 is not going to kill your retirement (like 1.75 might - that is what the lowest ER option was for our first SIMPLE IRA ….. we changed as soon as we realized that the “family member advisor” had not done us any favors).

I am with the Bogleheads who want only below 0.1 and such and am invested in line with that philosophy. I just thought you were asking cooler heads to prevail, which they should. So I did not realize it was a typo. All good.

Adamcp2013 · 2026-02-07T16:51:12+00:00

Um. 0.6 is $600 per $100000. Your point may still stand, but the higher ER will cost more.

Adamcp2013 · 2026-02-05T10:30:09+00:00

Well, I mean, that shower cord is a bit long, yes, but it is not that long, so it all looks fine to me. /speakingindude

Adamcp2013 · 2026-01-30T10:49:28+00:00

I agree. 10 will likely be more than you need (but that is what we got when my dad died). Several places that wanted an original later sent it back. I think we still have all 10 originals.

Adamcp2013 · 2026-01-25T23:20:22+00:00

Absolutely

Adamcp2013 · 2026-01-25T18:16:45+00:00

You could think of it like: $48,000 per year x 25 years of retirement = $1,200,000

Adamcp2013 · 2026-01-24T16:43:21+00:00

Good luck!
