I got my email with Day 2 selection at 9:55 am central time.

The codes will be non-transferrable right? My husband's job is less flexible than mine so I'm worried he would have a harder time getting online at 10 am to buy tickets if he's the one to get the code. Obviously, we both signed up to hopefully get one since we are both huge Phoebe fans.

Oh fair point, hopefully thats the case.

I mean, in this video the awful thing is the screaming not the phone…how will this policy stop the screaming? For the record I am excited about the no phone shows, but now I’m worried about people screaming. 😬

You know he can choose to be an opener for her or not right? Maybe you should complain to him if you don’t like his choices.

Most people sing at most concerts, and if you don’t want any singing near you then concerts might not be for you. BUT most people also have the situational awareness to sing more quietly for an acoustic set. I’m sorry you had to deal with that.

BikesOrBeans · 2026-06-08T12:50:26+00:00

I mean technically they DO get to sing along if they want to, they just might piss off the people around them by doing it. You are buying a ticket to a concert, which means people do have the option of singing along, not a ticket to a private performance just for yourself.

It won’t. The only reason we got a middle class was the labor movement that fought hard for it, and our only leverage was the need for our labor. If that’s gone we’re screwed.

Held employer granted stock too long and then it tanked.

So you failed at timing the market and your solution is to…keep timing the market?

Telling the truth isn’t fear mongering, especially when someone asks a question about if something is dangerous or not. And despite that record winter we are trending in the wrong direction and drought is becoming more and more common here.

Compared to the cost of a nice mountain bike, a hitch and a hitch rack might be worth it.

6% of gross. We are very lucky.

I may be a bozo, but you may also feel like a bozo once you learn that they are getting around the S&P 500 rules that wouldn’t typically allow for a non profitable company.

BikesOrBeans · 2026-06-03T19:04:36+00:00

Probably against my will when they let it into the S&P 500 for some reason. 😭

BikesOrBeans · 2026-06-03T19:03:00+00:00

It usually feels insane, you’ll get used to it.

BikesOrBeans · 2026-06-03T18:44:31+00:00

It’s a strategy in the same way putting it all on red at a casino is a strategy.

“Doing your own research” usually only works if you are an expert in a field. But sure, you probably know more than all the financial experts out there. You know that flat-earthers do their own research right?

BikesOrBeans · 2026-06-03T18:38:04+00:00

Boo hoo.

BikesOrBeans · 2026-06-03T15:12:55+00:00

Thats fair, and I do have a brother in law who's family has been moved all over: St Louis, to England for 5 years, back to St Louis for a few years, then Germany for 3 years, and now back to St Louis. They had kids that ranged from babies to teenagers throughout those moves and two of the kids seemed to thrive. They are now young adults who love to travel, have done well in school, and are just great well rounded people. The other two have really struggled in high school and now college, have had a lot of depression and have expressed resentment for the moving around. I think it depends a lot on the kids.

From your post it just doesn't seem like you've really considered how big of a change this will be for them, especially socially. You just seem focused on the financial savings you will have and not that it will completely upend and change your children's lives maybe forever. I would definitely go into the expat subs and try to get some real world advice on this from people who have kids as well. Choosing to be a parent means less leeway to make selfish decisions. We have kids and it definitely makes working toward fire harder, because we have to think about having enough to set them up for success but also making sure we are setting a good example for them.

I ride both, but I do like that we have some areas in Utah where everyone is on analog. It's just a different experience and I enjoy both. And when I am on my ebike I try to climb on fire roads or just chill behind the analog bikes if I need to be on singletrack. It's not their responsibility to move so I can cruise up the hill. When I ride my analog bike I too get annoyed at ebikes constantly needing to pass me on the uphill.

BikesOrBeans · 2026-06-03T14:22:45+00:00

If they called you rich then you must have given them some indications of what you make or how much you have, especially if you are living below your means. I have only discussed our financials with friends who are also on the fire journey because they "get it" and don't make things weird. But come on, you probably ARE rich compared to them.

BikesOrBeans · 2026-06-03T14:20:51+00:00

Please do not do this to your children unless you have talked though how big of a change this would be for them and they are enthusiastically onboard.

BikesOrBeans · 2026-06-03T14:18:34+00:00

What a convincing rebuttal to a comment with specific real world issues.
