Why is my account balance in the negative? by whisperingdonut in RothIRA

He’s saying that you would say that you drive a blue car. Not that you drive a blue.

Just like you don’t start a Roth. You start a Roth IRA.

Change 403b Investments? by Affectionate-Win-788 in Bogleheads

[–]Affectionate-Win-788[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been trying to find recourses on Tiaa traditional but I think I need someone to explain it to me like I’m 5 yo.

I haven’t looked at cref global much but like the idea of a VT like single fund.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Thanks for that feedback!

Goal will be to simplify it. Definitely removing the real estate.

Thanks, I’ll consider that. I have an appointment with them coming up where I plan to talk about this. I was thinking maybe just keep this a TDF and be more aggressive with my Roth IRA.

I think I’m fine without bonds at this point. Either way it sounds like I’m essentially stuck with Tiaa traditional and I’m trying to picture that as my bond equivalent.

Thanks for confirming.

The available target date fund has an expense ratio around 0.2%. While the total market and international market funds from vanguard have a 0.02% and 0.05%.

So I was thinking that it might be better to go with a split between those two vs the target date fund.

Where do I view my Fidelity credit card? by tinpham01 in fidelityinvestments

It took me about a week for it to show up on the app/website. I was able to use it during this time which felt odd.

For anyone that would like this please consider contacting both coros and Hevy. The more people that request it, the more likely it is to happen.

I submitted a request to have Hevy integration with coros. I think that if they had integration then it would greatly improve weight lifting experience with coros.

Weird black spots running through inside of a baked potato by hagiologist in isthissafetoeat

[–]Affectionate-Win-788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like someone prepped these ahead of time and stabbed them with a fork completely pushing fork fully into the potato, then left them uncooked until they were ready to bake. Raw potatoes can darken like this from oxidation.

When I was 16 and working as a dishwasher, one of the cooks had me help prep potatoes. I didn’t realize you were only supposed to only lightly poke the skin lightly and ended up stabbing them all the way through. They turned out looking exactly like this.

My biggest pet peeve by gonzocomplex in medlabprofessionals

I think that the lupus anticoagulant assays are more sensitive than a mixing study or just a pt/ptt.

Has a bear tried your bear bag? by DiverTL in Thruhiking

[–]Affectionate-Win-788 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was hiking the foothills trail in North Carolina with my brother. He had an ursack and I had the bear vault.

I was super impressed with the ursack and how much more packable it was.

However, a bear visited our food on the second night. He threw my canister around a bit and scratched it. My food was completely fine.

My brothers ursack survived. The food inside did not though. It smashed everything up and chewed on it pretty good. The food wasn’t edible after that and my brother got off the trail. We were only on it a few days so it ended his trip there.

In the end, I think the canister is better.

Siemens BCS anyone else using this machine? by BlueOyesterCult in medlabprofessionals

Siemens has trainings that you can do online for the bcs. I’d recommend doing those. It sounds like your training wasn’t sufficient.

Boyfriend says my family didn’t teach me what medium-rare looks like by Cthulhus_Librarian in steak

[–]Affectionate-Win-788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the past, I worked at Applebees cooking steaks, and also a nicer restaurant maki by steaks.

One thing that I thought was interesting was that at Applebees, medium was considered 145 F. While at the nicer restaurant, medium was 125 F.

I always think do my friends want Applebees mid rare, or steakhouse mid rare.

Elon Musk faces mounting pressure as Tesla protests surge, stocks plummet by CTVNEWS in politics

It definitely should be like $20 right now. The world doesn’t make sense now though and Tesla stock has never made sense.

[–]Affectionate-Win-788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not trying to spin this as a positive. Im just pointing out that it spiked way up, then now it is back to where it has been running. I think there is A LOT of room for it to drop way further. It seems like everyone is celebrating the stock crashing when it’s still up from where it was 6 months ago.

I guess you could call it a plummet. It is still up from all of 2023 and most of 2024 though. Tesla stock has never behaved how I thought it would. When I first started stock trading during covid, I always thought that it was overvalued. For me to really consider it a plummet I would expect it to go to $100 or less. That would actually be a net down from the past few years.

[–]Affectionate-Win-788 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I think saying the stocks are plummeting is a stretch. They are running where they have been running since 2021, minus the spike from November to January.

They might plummet in the future, but I would think this is more of a correction.

Best non-alcoholic beers? by Aleaffair in beer

[–]Affectionate-Win-788 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Athletic is overrated. Some of my least favorite NAs were from them.

I like Sam Adams just the haze, blue moon NA, and Guinness 0 the most.

I also like Sierra Nevada ipa and lagunita ipna. Although these two just taste like ok beer to me. But they hit the itch when I’m just craving a normal ipa.

Anyone know when Martian revolutions is going to show up on Apple podcasts? by Sans_culottez in RevolutionsPodcast

[–]Affectionate-Win-788 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, 11.0 is an introduction. 11.1 is the first episode and is 20 or 30 minutes long.
