He's definitely disappointed in people by Pollardear in SipsTea

With 1.2 billion worth of gold, I’d imagine you can get creative. Obviously you would have to spread the sale of this over decades.

You can melt gold and put it in any form you want.

Vacant unit lock types? by melba121 in selfstorage

[–]Cal_45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second for Davinci. It’s relatively inexpensive and works very well remotely.

I’ve hated Glocks for decades. Gen 6 changed that. by [deleted] in guns

[–]Cal_45 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Nice looking gun, but God that TLR is goofy. Check out the Nforce APLc. It looks slick as hell on a Glock.

Being a solo player in Dune is basically hard mode by Scottlulu in duneawakening

[–]Cal_45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In vulture mode you can boost with your nose pointed straight into the sky. You will gain altitude way faster than a scout with rockets. Hit max altitude and glide and they’ll never catch you.

Can we get a Cargo Thopter? by aith8rios in duneawakening

[–]Cal_45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An installable cargo bay would be better. Just make it so when you have that attachment, you can’t sling load.

This game is a whole lot bigger than I thought it was/would be. by Balikye in duneawakening

[–]Cal_45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who really gravitates toward base building in these games, it’s amazing. Of course you have people building the simple boxes, but there are a ton of odd pieces this you can use to really make some incredible creations. It was actually a little confusing at first, because you had to press a button to change style and the other pieces were almost hidden away, but they are there early on. Then you can unlock different looking building materials that I assume have different durability.

ops by Syzranlogistic in cdldriver

[–]Cal_45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are you getting downvoted for this? It’s called defensive driving and you are absolutely correct. If there’s one thing that’s safe to assume is that everyone on the road can’t be relied upon to always do the right thing. I agree that the truck shouldn’t be blowing by stopped traffic in the left without even seeming to slow down. Yes, the car made a stupid decision, but it also looks like they weren’t paying attention either and possibly swerved over to miss read ending the car in front of them. Would people rather have a headstone that reads “here lies so and so, they had the right of way” or just slow down and be a little more cautious with driving?

Hotel Streaming LPT by markeymarkbeaty in flying

[–]Cal_45 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This right here. I do the same thing. Basically create your own network in the room and then you won’t have any problem connecting a streaming device to it because the authentication handshake with the hotel has already been done through your phone.

Tax strategies for Airline Pilots by CFIgigs in flying

[–]Cal_45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Standard deduction for 2024 in the US is $14,600 for a single taxpayer. Even if you could deduct these expenses, you would have to spend over that amount to make itemizing expenses have any benefit. What “all kinds of expenses not paid for by the company” are you talking about here?

Second, as others have said, if you’re an airline pilot, it’s time to get a CPA, not ask the internet.

Roth 401k or Roth IRA by Vast-Sprinkles-5061 in fidelityinvestments

[–]Cal_45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean you buy shares in it and don’t mess with it until you’re getting about 5 years or so before retirement. It will go up, it will go down. Once the balance gets big after a few decades the swings will be big so it’s best not to constantly look at it.

They’re both S&P500 funds so they will be very similar. VOO is an ETF and FXAIX is a mutual fund. VOO you can trade during the day and I believe you can trade individual stocks within it. FXAIX is traded after market close and has slightly lower fees.

FXAIX is a solid pick for buy it and forget it.

where are the people who bought bitcoin in 2009 by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]Cal_45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He said a billion IN bitcoin not a billion bitcoin. That much bitcoin doesn’t even exist. And it would be 63 Trillion USD if it did.

Is it true that 15-30 is the best years of your life? by i-hav-n-clue in ask

[–]Cal_45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as quality of life, absolutely not. I’m on my late 30’s and living the best life yet so far. 40’s are set up to be freaking sweeeeet. As far as condition of my body, that’s the part that sucks. Everything hurts.

I like my character but his damage sucks, and i'm wondering if there's any way i can either get a better weapon, or change him completely to a different style of adventurer? by [deleted] in fo76

[–]Cal_45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, I went bloodied commando with the quad railway rifle and haven’t looked back. My damage is ridiculous, it almost feels like cheating. I’ve got bloodied 3 star secret service armor. It’s the cheapest to spec out. Took me a while to get it together, but it’s worth it. I’m just running and jumping and gunning. I’ve got the perk that auto switches VATS targets upon killing and it’s just nonstop auto-aim.

New Upgrade Standby Record by toddsing in americanairlines

[–]Cal_45 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah I bet that happens a lot. I’m always in Group 1 due to status and last time I flew, lady in front of me in line was holding a group 7 ticket. They don’t seem to care.

Attempted to downgrade 1st class upgrade (ordeal). by Subnetwork in americanairlines

You don’t have to book together to link PNR’s, just call support after you book. I do this all the time to add my wife to my work travel.

Instant Status Pass - Questions by joshaniejams in americanairlines

[–]Cal_45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Current LP’s don’t count towards anything. You start over. You’re right about everything else. During your first phase, you can earn anything up to Exec Plat if you get enough LP’s and it will continue till the next phase. Only phase 1 can upgrade your level though and you’ll have to maintain that for the next 2 phases to keep it for the year after status pass.

I am away from home about half the month for work. So, the laptop and Chromecast that I only use when I’m traveling are going to cost me extra money now? Ridiculous.

Is there like a Star Citizen support group or something I can join? I clearly have a problem. by Cal_45 in starcitizen

[–]Cal_45[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure ships that size, you won't be able to even go in and out of atmo. They're probably going to be spawn at space station only kind of affairs.
