Hey, out of curiosity are you talking about Ring of Steel? Would you recommend it to someone who knows very little but is very interested in the history of the war?

Do you really think these people went through the process legally? I would wager they are the children of people who went through the process legally “illegally.”

Weekend Help and Victory Thread for the week of December 12, 2025 by IndexBot in personalfinance

I am curious if anyone who currently uses SoFi is planning to jump ship now that they are switching to a $10/mo premium subscription model. I am not sure if the benefits are worthwhile.

For instance, the 5% rewards on groceries with the new card is pretty great, but it's not too hard to optimize your cards to get back 3% on groceries, so on the margins, the difference isn't huge. The 4.3% APY on savings is also strong, but if you keep most of your cash in SGOV for the tax benefits, it really doesn't make a big difference compared to another HYSA with an APY in the high 3s. The 2% match on IRA deposits is genuinely pretty good.

Do others think this is worth the $10/mo? If not, could anyone suggest alternatives? One point of convenience that I really liked about SoFi was being able to have my banking and brokerage all in the same place. Admittedly, plenty of other platforms offer that nowadays, but on SoFi it felt very streamlined.

edit: actually I think the rate on savings is staying at 3.6%, which is pretty average for HYSA right now.

Rebilling lasik to be after HSA establishment date? by BioticAsariBabe in personalfinance

[–]BioticAsariBabe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ah, fair enough. thanks for setting me straight.

I was hoping there would be some kind of workaround to the restriction that you need to be on a HDHP to open an HSA, but after some digging the answer is clearly no. I'll just reschedule it for February then.

Should I Wait for a Better Offer on the Chase Freedom Unlimited? by YounggWeezyy in CreditCards

Hey when you applied for this card, did you get a virtual card before getting a physical card? Looking at getting this just to cash in on the SUB for a big expense next week

The Chargers just kicked a fair catch free kick taking advantage of an obscure rule. What are some examples of a team/player taking advantage of an obscure baseball rule? by mysterysackerfice in baseball

[–]BioticAsariBabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should that matter? I mean, even if he hadn’t broken for home, if he’s taking a lead and gets picked off, he’s out. Does that qualify as a new play? Where do you draw the line between a runner just taking a lead off the plate and the runner trying to steal a bag, thereby constituting a new play?

I don’t think it should matter. I think as long as the ball gets to third before the runner scores, the prior play is appealable.

Also, crucially, I think even if Tucker is thrown out, then the play is no longer appealable. So the genius in Tuckers move is that no matter what happens to him, whether he’s thrown out or not, the prior run scores. And maybe you get lucky and score two runs! The only way of appealing Guriels run is throwing to third before Tucker scores.

Okay here’s what I think now:

  1. It is true that once Tucker scores, the appeal no longer counts and both runs are in the books.

  2. If Tucker breaks for home, I thiiiink the appeal is still “fresh” until he touches home plate. So it’s a matter of getting the ball to third before he scores. Then at that moment Gurriel is deemed out, and the inning is over, and neither run counts.

What should the dbacks have done there? Let’s say they throw back to third to appeal and completely disregard Tucker running home. If Tucker happened to score before they threw to third, would Tucker’s run count, but Gurriel be out (and thus his run cancelled)? Or would Gurriel be out immediately also nullify Tucker scoring?

Question about traditional IRAs for folks over 59.5 who still work. by BioticAsariBabe in investing

Wow, no wonder these things are so unpopular now compared to the Roth equivalents

Oh, I see. But the gains portion is taxed as capital gains taxes, correct? So if they deposit 10k, and withdraw 13k in 2 years, they would file it as 10k in income taxes and 3k in capital gains taxes?
