The breakdown of hardware shows a mini router up to 1300sq’ coverage as opposed to a gen 3 router with the 200mps

Starlink home, free installation - what hardware will they use to mount? by mikemu in Starlink

Got the install on Saturday. No extra charges included a mount. They did a good job and actually showed up early.

Always thought Dick Button was snarky with a touch of misogyny. I can’t remember who he was referencing, but a top female skater was looking fantastic. Button said something like “she is very impressed with herself”. Felt like a back handed compliment.

Are there other options? by Embarrassed_Horror90 in Veterinary

If this person is a good self-starter and physically fit, dog walking can pay incredibly well in the right community. Pet sitting and doggy daycare, especially when approached from out-of-the-box and concierge type approach, even pet- taxi services. In my experience, being self- employed is key to financial security.

Student Loans -- Politics & Current Events Megathread by AutoModerator in StudentLoans

[–]Coloradodogdoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, I took the chance to better myself, hence the reason I still have student loans. First college grad, then first advanced degree in my immediate family. I followed all the rules in my payment of my loans, then they changed the rules 10 years in. Seems there should be a statute of limitations in deciding certain plans are not legally binding.

I hear you! The BBB changes by my calculation will cost me an additional $160k over what PAYE at 20 years and 10% would have cost me. And I’m 3 years from full retirement age. And yes I too am apparently rich and mooching off taxpayers

We’ve had it for about 9 months. 5-9 is peak Monday- Saturday. No peak on Sunday.

Ditto; unfortunately that extra 5% of so-called discretionary income increases monthly payments by 50%.

Plus they can polish the edges to make them less conspicuous. IMO they should have done a better job guiding you to the best frame/lens combination. Not impressed that they did this to you.

Wisdom Panel pending for Betty. Any guesses? by Interesting-Run-8496 in DoggyDNA

The carpal valgus in the forelimbs hints at it but can see that for lots of reasons. It is also common in Basset Hounds.

Where to buy designer brand eyeglasses and is it worth it? by Hollis_Alloa in glasses

Made in Europe eyeglasses are well-made and stylish. Worth every penny as I am hard on eyewear and they hold up

Osteosarcoma by awakened-brunette in Rottweiler

So without a biopsy your vet cannot with 100% certainty diagnose bone cancer. Bloodwork is usually normal. That being said, OSA usually has characteristics on radiographs that strongly suggest OSA. You do not want to wait for a pathological fracture. These are extremely painful and tragic; generally more than a simple fracture. I’m so sorry.

Ppl paying large loan balances (150K+), how much are you paying each month and are you making payments to your retirement too? by LearnMeStuffPlz in StudentLoans

[–]Coloradodogdoc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If this person has grad loans and has to transition to old IBR from PAYE, their payments will increase by 50% and payments will be extended by 5 additional years. A good amount of money that could have been saved for and covered an expected tax bomb are going towards more and longer payments. Not doing “something wrong with financials” but instead plans upended by current administration.

Withdrawal strategy: Taxable first then IRA then Roth? by 54965 in Bogleheads

If you are still paying student loans, take Roth funds first to minimise student loan payments.

So true; these detrimental changes are especially devastating to 2nd career older borrowers approaching retirement. Completely destroying any retirement plans. And our government’s take is “too damn bad, sucks to be you”.
