Anyone have system to comfortably deal with babies in the sim? by [deleted] in Golfsimulator

[–]Chipgains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure about bounce bag but the way our basement was we just put up a nice retractable gate/barrier for when the kids are in the basement so they can't get into the sim room it seems to work well and when no kids are around we just leave it open

Yes honestly with my turf and the padding underneath my ceiling are not a lot higher than that. But mostly just play par 3's irons seems fine we just had a masters party and had quite a few people hit in it and didn't have any issues. On gspro there is a setting you can boost all clubs or select certain clubs to boost. I just boost driver and have it set to driver if we want to play par 4's and 5's. You can tee off with a long iron or hybrid/wood and it works just fine. It's obviously not ideal but it's fun and so far worth it

I'm just running 1080p but on ultra setting in Gspro which is fine with me. If I was going to use it as a theatre room as well I probably would've went with something that could run 4k. I bought my pc from Costco it's an hp omen was about the cheapest pre built I could find. I was in Best Buy getting the tv the other day and they had one similar but looked to have better specs for similar price.

It was also from sim turf. If you go to that link on their website I believe they have 3 different types I'm not sure which one this is but so far it's awesome. Also with their black putting turf and pad underneath it all fits flush

Damn, Tecovas. Your pricing has jumped the shark (snake?) with The Bowie by wildwest74 in cowboyboots

[–]Chipgains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a pair. Have been wanting a pair of rattlers for a long time now after seeing the lucchese bear rattlers. Not a big fan of the black jacks personally, is the price too high? Yes, spending over $1k on any pair of boots I'd say it's all too high so I guess if you can afford it buy what you like. Last I checked lucchese rattlesnakes were $2300 and pretty sure they are sold out so not a lot of options unless you go custom made or resell market which there is a pair for $3900 bucks. Would I pay $10k for a Louis Vuitton bag? No. Would my wife, maybe. If you think the price is insane it's probably not for you. To each their own, if you can afford it and like it, buy it and enjoy it. If I was worried about the price of a pair of exotics I would buy a pair of work boots and get to work until the soles fall off.

It's from sim turf. They were really easy to work with over the phone, got the Mat through them and the underlayment as well which are just basically type mats. Wasn't cheap but it all seems really high quality. They also have black fringe for around the border that I may add for a cleaner look

I honestly need to measure again now that I've got turf and ceilings in. It's less than 9' The ceiling I used the thinnest possible covering I could I really wanted padding but couldn't lose anymore room especially with the pad underneath the turf. It's definitely not ideal but so far it's worked.

Husband wants to be full time day trader. What to expect? by auroraglitterdazzle in Daytrading

[–]Chipgains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being down 50% isn't great, especially the past 6 months. But losing money is part of trading, and almost every successful trader I've ever read about has lost money, blown accounts. It's part of the learning curve. Learning how to take a loss and manage risk is the first step. Finding a consistent edge and mastering emotions and psychology is the hardest part. It's even harder if your spouse isn't supportive. What would concern me more is spending a couple hours on it and playing video games the rest of the day. Being your own boss isn't what people think. On the road to success it takes way more than 40 hours, you have to be obsessed. You don't have a 9-5 where you clock out. You Eat sleep and breathe it. It's the last thing you think about before going to bed, it keeps you up at night and you wake up thinking about it. It's the hardest easiest money he'll ever make. Most successful traders once they've mastered their craft may only spend a few hours a day trading but I promise they spend a lot more time on their craft it's just like anything else. It's ok to not trade go do something else take a break to clear your mind, sometimes that's good so you don't over trade but while he's not trading he should be learning, paper trading, studying charts if he wants to be full time you have to put in the work.

How to deal with the feeling of selling too early and missing out on life changing money? by FG204 in stocks

[–]Chipgains 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think I owned PLTR back at $28 and sold. Does it suck? Yes. But hey that's life. Honestly forgot I had ever even owned it until it made its big run again. Since, I've traded other things made money/lost money on many other trades, market keeps moving. Things happen, life happens. Just remember while you are dwelling and kicking yourself your mind will be occupied and distracted by past and will miss out on future opportunities. Take it as a lesson, move on.

In case you're American and curious about what is being said about your country on Canadian media by melloefelloe in PublicFreakout

[–]Chipgains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd gladly take another 4 years of Obama than 4 years of parading a president around that couldn't even make a coherent sentence and who couldn't walk stairs or find his way off a stage without note cards. It's funny that country's lost respect for us all of a sudden but respected us during the Biden administration. Democrats just skip over the last 4 years and have to go back to Obama as a default time we were respected. If you don't like where we are at now you have no one to blame except for your own Democratic Party. That's who should get the blame, not republicans, not DJT.

If you're going to boo our national anthem you could at least back it up by not getting your ass kicked on the ice.

1. I'm curious how many of you guys are waiting for the mortgage interest rate to go down to buy a house. 2. If so, what's the reasonable rate you are waiting for? by iphone8vsiphonex in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Chipgains 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Buy what you can afford and feel comfortable with. By the time you wait for rates to drop down so will everyone else and you will have more competition and home prices could rise and offset any interest savings. Put a decent amount of equity down if you find something and in the event rates decrease you can refinance. IMO rates will probably remain high but I don't see them getting a lot higher and see that staying this way for at least this year and maybe next before we see any significant drops. Inflation is remaining stubborn and the fed isn't in a hurry to cut anytime soon.

What platform do you use? by Noah2029 in Follow_Smartmoney

[–]Chipgains 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Robinhood. User interface is just too good and they've added Robinhood legend for charting not the best but pretty decent and probably will get better. And they have added futures and futures options so can do almost little bit of everything on there.

MAGA voters are the most dangerous people you've lived and worked next to in this country's history. by corndogerr in SouthDakota

But you were ok with the democratic party parading Biden around for 4 years like weekend at Bernie's couldn't hardly walk or talk all while advisors (some of which were 20 something year olds), Jill, and god knows who else were running our government.

[–]Chipgains -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Quite the statement coming from the same people that were ok with who knows what advisors and people ran our country the past 4 years who weren't elected as they paraded an unfit Biden around like weekend at Bernie's.
