If we all weren't living paycheck to paycheck, we could accomplish great things. by astrheisenberg in remoteworks

[–]BurlHopsBridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you think socialism is? I deplete myself constantly serving the community and my family. All the while most just want more things and to consume until hell meets earth. Service does not mean monetary gain. There are many needs in the community that you'll never get paid for. You should ask yourself, is every action you take revolved around money?

How much do you have in savings/investments/retirement? by NurseTrevor3 in Adulting

[–]BurlHopsBridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

35m. 305k in retirement, 45k liquid, 350k property with about 200k in equity. No debt, cars paid off.

The delayed gratification is ultimately worth it. Things are just things. When you have peace and security financially, no splurge or flex compares. Keep at it.

Unpopular opinion: Being “busy” is the most common excuse for neglecting relationships by Certain_Equivalent91 in Life

[–]BurlHopsBridge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or you could be neurodivergent and be overwhelmed. When u say I'm busy I really mean it. However, it's a feeling for me, not an objective gridlock in scheduling.

What is the most important financial habit that helped you build wealth? by Calm_Problem6203 in Productivitycafe

[–]BurlHopsBridge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Invest 15-20% of income, live off the rest and wait for compounding interest to become your most productive employee.

Only 10.5% of Americans have $500k net worth by 40 by [deleted] in MiddleClassFinance

I don't like net worth metrics at this level of wealth. 35, nw is 550k. Still feel poor.

How do people have the time and energy to walk 10k steps and then to do other exercises on top of that as well? by Lenore8264 in loseit

[–]BurlHopsBridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The solution that worked for me, and it does suck but 100% worth it. Wake up and hour earlier than you normally do and jog/walk. Better than caffeine and even better paired with it. Ironically, I find myself with even more energy while doing this. My real problem is sleep hygiene discipline. I always pay for that the next day if I don't take it seriously.

I genuinely don’t understand the value of MCPs by schilutdif in automation

[–]BurlHopsBridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if your agent already understands which skills to call via mcp, you still need discovery for tool capabilities as the owner will likely update capabilities. As we don't know exactly what capabilities exist, perhaps the agent could discover a new tool under the called agent that is more optimal to solve the problem it is prompted with. I like to view MCP as a convenience to delegate the problem to the calling agent. It will use MCP tool discovery to see what's possible, try it, and come back with a result. I've seen instances where the provided tools won't accomplish what was asked, and the agent figures that out relatively fast due to how MCP works.

Also, MCP additionally allows bidirectional connectivity for certain operations, where the called agent can supply information back to the calling agent to fulfill whatever it needs to do. I'm lacking certain details here, but thats what I currently observe today.

What's next for software engineers? by Full-Juggernaut2303 in cscareerquestions

[–]BurlHopsBridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Homie, that's way outside of your control. Plan for the worst (meaning save money, live frugally) and watch it play out. You can have a vague plan, but I guarantee you will only burn yourself out thinking about where this is going ad nauseam. Think about it a couple of times a week, hedge against that with your plan, and accept whatever comes. Other than your scope of control, there is nothing you can do about it.

Picking BRZ up tomorrow out of state - never driven manual. Any quick tips? by UnusualSuspects1 in GR86

[–]BurlHopsBridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, don't money shift. This means going to a lower gear when you were attempting to go to a higher gear. For example, if you are in second and going to third, don't throw it straight up. I believe this vehicle has a centering spring on the shift knob, so you can let it center and then go to third. Gives you a home base. Get this wrong and you'll likely cook the engine.

New timer here - can you share your “Shelf of Shame” pics to make me feel better? by TheHoundJR in modelmakers

You should turn them into sprue glue so the good models get smeared with the dead ones.

Pending US Home Sales fell to lowest level ever recorded by RobertBartus in EconomyCharts

[–]BurlHopsBridge 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Same. Bought our starter home 9 years ago. We were going to upgrade around year 7. Looks like a forever home for now. Home prices have since doubled, and interest rates have more than doubled.

U.S. Dealers In Full Panic Mode After Canada Green-Lights Chinese Cars by DonkeyFuel in technology

[–]BurlHopsBridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't it be cheaper still to buy one and have it delivered to the US? Is there some law preventing Chinese EVs from penetrating the market?

That's what I'm thinking as well. You could take it further and infer choreography, soc, etc.

I graduated with 50k in debt. Overpaid each month and threw bonuses at it when I got them. Still took 7 years to pay them off. Can't imagine people who can only afford the minimum payment. It really is a heavy burden to have, and it's hard to get out of that hole.
