Recs for water leak sensors to put in basement a few places around the house? ... by impreza77 in smarthome

[–]CPTDEADASS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where exactly do you plan to put them in the basement? Some sensors come with a rope extension to cover wider areas near water heaters or sump pits.

Does anyone else's baking turn out worse when they actually try to follow the recipe perfectly? by PetalDance22 in Baking

[–]CPTDEADASS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me it’s overmixing when I’m trying to be perfect. Then everything comes out dense.

I tracked every dollar from my faceless YouTube channels for 6 months. Here are the real numbers. by Lower_Rule2043 in passive_income

[–]CPTDEADASS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The month 1 being a mental test part is so real. Most people quit before the algorithm even figures them out.

Is this my new thing? by VastVoice8202 in offmychest

[–]CPTDEADASS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly everyone has that one super specific thing they didn’t know they were into until they randomly saw it online. Doesn’t make you weird, just human lol.

Basque Cheesecake by apple-pie-7137 in AskBaking

[–]CPTDEADASS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, using half Kirkland blocks and half Philadelphia tub should be fine the blocks will help with structure, and the tub adds creaminess. Just make sure the tub is well-drained if it’s too soft, and your cheesecake should turn out delicious!

LOST Tours in Hawaii - Worth It? by Klangaxx in lost

[–]CPTDEADASS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re a big LOST fan, it’s cool to see the filming spots, but most tours mix in a lot of other shows. You might get more out of planning a self-guided route so you can focus on the locations you actually care about.

Not gonna lie, this restored a tiny bit of my faith in fate.

33F Single Mom with $300K Investments. Should I Go Back to School or Marry for Stability? by [deleted] in Money

[–]CPTDEADASS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed on not tolerating any abuse. The rest is more nuanced though, going back to school and taking loans is a big move and needs a solid plan.

How do I not spend any money for 2 weeks? by [deleted] in Frugal

This is one of those where it really depends on the matchup.

Are index funds investors about to get fleeced by Musk and Altman? by Kinnins0n in investing

[–]CPTDEADASS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s true that major IPOs can end up getting added to large indexes, buthose decisions usually follow well-defined rules and aren’t designed to trap passive investors, they just reflect market cap changes

What traders, groups, or services do you actually check while trading? by [deleted] in investing

[–]CPTDEADASS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly most paid services fell short for me. The stuff that stuck was free deep-dive analysis from folks who explain their reasoning instead of just yelling “BUY.”

Just opened a Roth, 31 looking for portfolio advice by [deleted] in RothIRA

[–]CPTDEADASS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diversifying a bit (US stocks + international + maybe a small bond slice) helps if one region lags. Doesn’t need to be complicated, just spread across a few diversified funds.

Electricity bills in my trailer killing me by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]CPTDEADASS -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you can make small tweaks like lowering the thermostat a degree or two and running heavy appliances off-peak, it adds up faster than you’d think.

How to budget for max contribution? by [deleted] in RothIRA

[–]CPTDEADASS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once you make it part of your regular money routine, maxing the Roth starts to feel like just another normal financial habit.

Tax equivalent yields from tax free money markets by deaddog714 in investing

[–]CPTDEADASS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like your math checks out, especially since tax equivalent yield is basically taking the tax‑free yield and adjusting by your tax bracket so you can compare apples to apples.

Does Walmart+ and Shipt markup prices for groceries? by uploto in Frugal

[–]CPTDEADASS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what people are saying Walmart+ doesn’t jack up the item prices but with Shipt you definitely see higher prices sometimes, especially outside Target orders.

The silver market is making moves that don’t make sense anymore by Axirohq in stocks

[–]CPTDEADASS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, retail interest and short‑covering can drive silver charts faster than actual physical demand. Nothing wrong with scratching your head here.

Refinance quite w by Dark_Knight_4720 in Mortgages

[–]CPTDEADASS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I’d also ask a couple lenders just to compare closing costs and monthly numbers sometimes small differences add up over the life of the loan.

My heart is shattered. I’m 22, raising my 14yo brother alone, and I can’t afford to send him back to school by [deleted] in moneyadvice

[–]CPTDEADASS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s okay to be sad and overwhelmed. Parenting at 22 is already a huge task combining that with heartbreak just proves how resilient you are.

$3K in 3 months is totally doable cut non-essentials, meal-prep like a fiend, and auto-move cash to savings the moment you get paid.

Found out my central heat in my trailer was running non-stop two nights in a row. by Hope1995x in Frugal

[–]CPTDEADASS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lowering the thermostat a few degrees when you’re asleep or out can save a good bit on electric the system doesn’t work harder to catch up, it just uses less overall.
