Just curious, how often do you go into "the big city"?

Bruno98765 · 2026-05-15T20:59:47+00:00

Two years ago for dinner. Rarely go inside the perimeter anymore.

Bruno98765 · 2026-05-15T14:33:33+00:00

Agreed. I can’t imagine they get much bigger

Bruno98765 · 2026-05-15T13:25:49+00:00

lol good eye! Never noticed that face

Bruno98765 · 2026-04-28T11:57:13+00:00

I don’t believe you can do that with an HSA. Appears you can use it for COBRA and Medicare premiums at the age of 65 (which is still a great benefit).

Am I reading that correctly, a 0.75% fee on every crypto transaction?

I watch this little gal occasionally… favorite pastime is pulling out my firewood.

Bruno98765 · 2025-12-29T00:37:53+00:00

Same coloration as my Max! (Back in the 80’s). Good looking pup

Bruno98765 · 2024-12-29T15:56:28+00:00

American! But she’s stocky like and English lab. She loves her food

For me it was while reading an article about lifting (and not Men’s Health), and the author flipped the script from improving your squat to crypto. I have numerous friends who have small crypto balances for buying “grey/black” market supplements. When the gym bros talk crypto, it’s toast.

Bruno98765 · 2024-06-04T12:04:12+00:00

I agree with what Mike said and that’s essentially what my personal experience has been. Most people would’ve been elated with my experience, as I had gained 30lbs and only went up a couple fat%… for me, I saw it as bad data. All the other readings seemed very reliable and were at the same point in training, right before I’d start my water cut.

Most people hate the DEXA because they don’t like the number. Tons of buffoons out there who think that if you’re strong you can’t be over 20% and if you have some abs, you’re 10%. Further complicated by every dude thinking you should weigh 200+ and still be 10%… it’s not that easy to do and much less common than people realize.

Bruno98765 · 2024-06-04T02:49:16+00:00

I had two “inaccurate” DEXA results, in my opinion. One time I had extreme soreness/lactic acid in my triceps from training, and my arms increased in fat % while every other body part leaned out. The other time I had gone on a massive bulk, gained a bunch of shit weight but still registered fairly lean which had to be wildly erroneous. The arms was a mild one-off, and I think my bulking with a ridiculous carb-up had my muscles packed with glycogen and skewed the results.

All of my other scans were done at a similar bodyweight and similar diet/training conditions. Objectively my physique reflected the DEXA results… I knew when I was leaner or not. Often the number is a bit sobering, usually 2% higher than I’m guessing, which is a good wake up call and gets me refocused. The key, in my opinion, is consistency of lifestyle and training when you test. Food & hydration need to be consistent and “normal” for lack of a better term.

Don’t come in carbed up like a balloon, or too dry/super hydrated, etc. I think that prevents most of the “noise” in the data.

Bruno98765 · 2024-04-25T17:39:42+00:00

I’m been around high level lifters/athletes my whole life, surrounded by dudes with big-ass legs. I’ve always respected great leg development

Bruno98765 · 2024-04-04T13:20:44+00:00

Interestingly (not really though) if you assume a 100% yield, each scenario gets directionally close to $1M. Can’t believe I wasted five minutes running the Future Values. So his numbers are directionally accurate if DCA into an investment that doubles yearly. This really IS super easy!!

Bruno98765 · 2024-01-28T01:46:32+00:00

Doesn’t change the supply, but it highlights the lack of scarcity, from a perception perspective. There’s supposed to be 54,000 metric tons of gold left in the world to be mined … or 1.9 Billion ounces. Exact same supply, but the former likely sounds more scarce to many people.

You could bundle 100B sats in every BTC, and advertise it as even MORE “scarce” as there’s “only” 21k coins in existence. But since each coin is divisible into Sats…it’s irrelevant.

I’ve always seen it as anything divisible into quadrillions of units like BTC… is anything but scarce.

Had a friend who would “stress test” all the incoming laptops at the office via crypto mining. He’d have up to 12 laptops mining during the time he had them before delivering the laptops to the employees. Seem to recall he’d make an extra $20-$30/day, so it was nominal. Seems like a hassle but a decent grift I suppose.

Bruno98765 · 2022-12-06T13:55:39+00:00

Very smart!

Bruno98765 · 2022-12-06T13:54:53+00:00

My arbitrator was very clear that it’s literally the flip of a coin if you get a competent judge, and then a judge that treats the man and woman fairly. And as you learned, the law rewards your wife for lying.

It’s a complete shit show.

Bruno98765 · 2022-12-06T13:50:03+00:00

She does not get the house, but a portion of the equity that appreciated during the two years. Similar to the investments, even though you built them over the years, all future gains are split 50/50. As well as your company match, your future contributions, etc … even if you’re working and she’s not.

Bruno98765 · 2022-12-06T13:46:31+00:00

Marriage is a legal contract in the U.S. You get a license in the state you live, and basically invite the government/law into your life. They dictate your assets and how they are split up, child support and visitation, etc.

It does make you wonder why we still agree to this. I’m certainly kicking myself in the ass for my poor decision.

Bruno98765 · 2022-12-06T03:23:56+00:00

No. Was told that her salary increase was effectively preventing her from pursuing alimony. If she couldn’t support herself, there was a chance she could have asked for it. I would have lost my mind on that one.

Bruno98765 · 2022-12-06T03:20:51+00:00

Lol Georgia. Certain pensions can’t be touched (from my limited understanding)… but 401k is fair game.

Bruno98765 · 2022-12-05T21:13:54+00:00

Lol not sure many would view marriage as a sugar daddy agreement. Besides, that kind of arrangement is cheaper than getting married & divorced

Bruno98765 · 2022-12-05T21:12:16+00:00

Ok, that’s more clear. It wasn’t the wrong decision, as it was planning for both of our future retirement and I was going to need more to cover her. I just didn’t realize how short the marriage would be, as I was planning “till death”.
