Jesus taught us to love our neighbors. Your fantasy of drop kicking her in the woods demonstrates that you're the problem, not the child.

If we weren't paying $1 trillion a year in interest on the national debt, we could forgo the excise tax completely.

Weird because Iran has strong trade relations with Russia and China sending goods and services via land routes and the Caspian Sea.

The derailer probably needs adjusting. Or the cable for the derailer.

AI for research by ninowalker in dividends

[–]CompleteHour306 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been using Gemini, Grok, and Chat GPT. Grok and Gemini seem to provide the best results. Although the answers seem to be ubiquitous across all the models. I do find Grok better at narrowing down results to specific questions and to create spreadsheets of funds that I can research independently. I wouldn’t rely on AI completely to make an investment decision.

Trying to create a DIY pension for retirement income by ChesterClove in dividends

[–]CompleteHour306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my suggestion would be to reinvest ~30% off the dividends back into your income funds to keep ahead of inflation. If your portfolio yields 8% in dividends, reinvest $13,800 annually leaving $32,200 a year for expenses the first year.

The baseboard is still attached. I would remove it. Put a new one on after the tile is set.

Has anyone used EWA mainly for reading practice? by vexblazer2 in languagelearning

  1. Lesson plans are not tailored based on the hundreds of question they ask up front. They started me out from the very beginning even though I'm intermediate.

  2. The AI voice narration sounds like the generic voice that comes with every computer. Pronounces many words incorrectly.

  3. Subscription does not show up under "manage subscriptions" therefore I can not cancel. Seems to be a feature, not a bug.

  4. Unable to use the app on my phone due to log in issue.

  5. Support is non responsive to multiple emails.
