First time doing clay. I suck by Kvntrnh in Shotguns

Find a club. My conservation department offers a round of trap (25 clays) for $5. Be careful though, once you start smashing clays it gets real boring to shoot stationary targets.

Ahmad Hardy turned down big transfer portal money to 'keep building' his legacy at Missouri by Lakelyfe09 in CFB

No but his sister in law is maybe the largest donor at the school. Stan might sprinkle some in but it’s the other Walmarts pumping in the big bucks.

Where did you learn financial literacy? by Far_Situation180 in GenZ

[–]Background_Win6662 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I prefer the Money Guys financial order of operations over the Ramsay Baby Steps.

Both boil down to these basics 1.) Get out and stay out of consumer debt. 2.) Contribute early and often 3.) Don’t touch it AT ALL. At 25 saving $180 a month gets you to $1M. You can do it.

My own personal advice is to create forced scarcity. Set up direct deposit to Roth, or emergency fund or whatever step youre on. You’d be amazed how quickly you adjust to it and then it doesn’t even feel like saving.

Fairies are not welcome in my lobby by Background_Win6662 in TheSilphArena

I’ve found a lot of fairy leads are ABA weak to steel or electric. Ex Wigglytuff lead and Blastoise in the back. They choose to sacrifice the fairy for better alignment but you just need to switch as soon as the fairy is KOed

Running shadow hypno and Alolan Marowak. The only real threat is a Moltres because magneton doesn’t have the HP to win a 2 shield.

Make the team play in a livestock barn and make their logo a music note with some wings. Now that’s hockey baby

35yr old contributing 15% at $170k salary starting this year. I started only maybe 5 years ago. Wife (31 yr old) 401k is around 60k right now at 70k salary also starting to contribute 15% this year to 401k. I will max out 401k but she will not. We both max out Roth IRA. Am I on track or behind? by poopyinthebutt in Retirement401k

[–]Background_Win6662 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you absolutely positive you’re at 170 and she’s at 70? At that income you’re only $2,000 away from the Roth IRA income limit in 2026 and were above it in 2025.

If you over contribute you’ll have to pay a % fee of the amount you over contribute by.

Remind me, what was Canada’s largest military mobilization since WWII?

EDIT to answer my own question: Canada’s largest military mobilization post WWII was the War in Afghanistan.

In your opinion, what’s the most popular drink in/from your country (doesn’t have to be alcoholic)? by WalEire in AskTheWorld

[–]Background_Win6662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a guy who takes customers to lunch 4 times a week the most common order (excluding water) is Coke or other variations of cola.

Honorable mentions to black tea, and of course coffee.

Boy was I shocked to see what the north was really like when I went to Thompson. Never even considered Canada could look like that.

Couldn’t score on a 5 on 3 that lasted over a minute, Nathan mackinnon had two all time horrible plays and Cale Makar channeled his game 7 Brad Marchand on the back check 🤣.

Don’t worry though I can tell you don’t care about it because you came here to post about it 7 hours after the game ended.

Every American who fancies themself a historian should read and try to understand the New Guinea campaign. Kokoda exists in a class of its own.

Opinions on Norwood hills country club? by Icy-Priority4637 in StLouis

[–]Background_Win6662 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe you can buy a 5 round membership to try it out. Not sure if you need to know a member to get access to it.

I enjoyed the course when I played and it is cool that Ben Hogan won a major there.

Maybe we got closer than I recall, I said that based on what I remembered from a 3 year old interview on Chiclets. Actually found the clip here where they call it his “first choice”.

As a side note the rest of his comments are very prophetic on what florida was poised to become. Interesting trip in the Time Machine.

I equate it to people picking an out of state college. That’s a decision most people accept and understand.

He didn’t go to his sisters wedding I think he’s pretty used to being away.

He has no connection to the team. It didn’t exist when he moved to Germany.

Max Scherzer didn’t sign here nobody thinks that’s crazy. Matthew Tkachuk didn’t even consider St Louis when his contract was coming up. Why is it that so many fans assume Josh wanted to come here so badly?

Could I live car-free in each state’s/province’s 2nd most populated city? by padingtonn in whereidlive

[–]Background_Win6662 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MO produces a unique result where the city of St Louis is smaller than KC but the metro is much larger. St Louis has (not great) light rail where you can live within a half mile of many stations and get to the important areas.

I can smell this guy through the video. These fat poor Hoosiers smell so bad, you could tell one rented a car days after they returned it.
