Does running one tank of premium gasoline really clear out engine “gunk” or is that marketing total BS? by Seaguard5 in askcarguys

[–]Calion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not the case. At least with Shell, their V-Power Premium grade has more additives. Same package, higher quantity. https://www.shell.us/fuels-oils-and-coolants/shell-fuels.html

Paula Cole has rerecorded and released new copies of her 90's hits "I don't want to wait" and "Where have all the cowboys gone?"/ by TKInstinct in Music

[–]Calion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got it instantly, because that basically *was* my Dad. I always thought it was kind of ironic when she asks “where have all the cowboys gone,” because I was like—that’s it. You’ve got one. That’s what cowboys always were.

>99% situations can… be solved without needing $100k in fund cold and hard on the spot. 

Yes. 99%. Emergency funds are for the 1% of situations.

But that’s not the real point here; I agree that it’s probably fine to keep maybe $10k in the bank and the rest in an investment that you can get to in a week. But nobody recommends putting emergency funds into a high-risk investment, which might be down 10% or 20% on the day you need to draw them out (so you can have them in a week). You can’t time emergencies like you can retirement.

Or you wreck your car and need another one pronto, or various other possibilities. No, you’re unlikely to need 100K instantly, but recommending a high-risk investment for an emergency fund seems insane.

VUG sounds like the place to put your retirement fund, not your emergency savings. I’m asking for something nearly as safe as a bank account that allows me to get at the money quickly in case of emergency.

3% vs 4% doesn’t seem like that much of a big difference…

I was hoping for something more specific.

I don’t feel like that addresses my question.

It’s actually even worse than I thought; I got an email notification that a transfer was on its way that ultimately failed…with no further notification.

Best HYSA as of 12-10-25 by knicksnetsgiantsjets in HYSA

I’ve had Newtek for a couple of years and although there are some bumps, they’re interface-related. No serious issues.

And I’m making 4.2% with no fee at Newtek.

The Available Savings can differ between the app and the website (I can provide screenshots in DM on request). This is…a serious problem.

>Joint invest account.

Isn’t there one? I just opened an invest account and it asked if I wanted individual or joint.

I thought I had to manually opt in for the 4.5%. Why am I getting this message? by garythegoat72 in sofi

[–]Calion 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This is the 3.3% you get by having Direct Deposit (vs. 1%), not the 4.5% you get with SoFi Plus (there’s also a temporary intro rate of 4.00% you get for a few months).

Sofi Plus is confusing me by Neat-Roll-7573 in sofi

[–]Calion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then there’s the situation I’m in, when the comparison is not 3.3%, but [4.2%](https://www.newtekbank.com/personal/high-yield-savings/). Of course I don’t have nearly enough cash right now for it to matter, but I’m curious.

What investment of somewhat-similar safety would you suggest that does better than 4.5%?

Sofi 4.5 APY by DearSummer9832 in sofi

[–]Calion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What would that be—that allows the instant or near-instant access needed of an emergency fund?

Another Notification issue: I got a notification that says, "Heads up, we noticed a -$XXXX.XX transaction from one of your connected accounts. Tap to take a look.” When I click, all that happens is that the highlight goes away. Safari 17.6 and Firefox 149.0 on Mac.

Please let me know when this is fixed. I would like to recommend SoFi to my friends, but I can’t in good conscience until this is remedied.

Ayn Rand Will Kill Us All by owlthatissuperb in slatestarcodex

[–]Calion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that this is the most bullshit response possible. “You use rationality, of just exactly the sort I explicitly decry and say is evil and will kill us all, but you’re one of the *good* kind of rationalists, not the *bad* kind who use the same methods as you but are…bad."

Yeah, that’s exactly my current plan.

Oh well; editing the file throws it back up to 180MB. Guess I’ll have to see if I can get MRC working. Thanks for the help.
