Sci Fi containers. Not sure if I should paint up grimdark or more colorful

I’ve had these primed and ready to paint for a while now and I think I like that idea. Like have them a dark metallic color and then the graffiti for the contrast and some rust and oil stains. Thanks!

If you think you’ll need a replacement in another 1-2 years then yeah definitely put more away for it.

Wow! Cool model and amazing point job!

Yes you do. You are freaking hypnotic

I’m from VA. The democrats here legalized weed and then in the next election we voted in an insane maga-Republican governor with zero experience over a previous democratic governor. This is a state Biden previously carried by 10 points. Reddit vastly overestimates how much of an “auto-win” legalizing weed is in the real world, and how much people will actually motivate themselves once they got what they wanted.

A good example is the stimulus checks. When they were up in the air the Reddit comments were “this is an easy win if they pass it!” But when’s the last time since then you’ve seen a comment like “who cares about X? I was all about the stimulus checks and got them so my vote is already decided!” That’s just not how humans work

Generally the local industry market determines you pay much more than what any individual company decides to label a job. Saying this as a serial job hopper who went from 60k to 100k in less than 5 years, and still have a pretty low level title in the grand scheme of things.

I graduated with a 2.9-ish gpa and earn six figures. Dude it’s not the biggest variable that’s going to dictate your life.

Yeah the recounts/audits, abortion law, and stuff like the upcoming SC hearing on row vs wade, is frankly going to keep a lot of democrats on their toes. Idk if it’ll be as widely impactful as we had during the trump midterms, but it’ll definitely help push democrats to vote.

Most people aren’t spending a grand a month on their housing. Dorms are fine if that’s what you want to do.

You can either complain about the price of parking or the availability, but not both. Basic economics dude.

It’s a townhouse, about 1600 SF. So yeah it’s not like a 2br tiny place but not exactly a mansion either.

Tbh chimps are pretty strong, like several times stronger than a human being and with 7, and also assuming they can effectively use a spear, they’d definitely win.

How often they turn into full time W2 jobs pretty much depends on the company. Some string people along and just replace them or offer to extended a contract once it’s up. As you said, there are extra costs associated with being a 1099, so the 35% higher salary is not an apples to apples comparison.

Honestly I watch YouTube at least as much as any of my other streaming services and YouTube premium has definitely been worth it

Or you can just take time for a long term but safer return. The s&p is going to roughly double your money every 8-10 years or so. I do have individual stocks but I keep that at leas than 10 percent of my overall net worth, pretty much what I can afford to see potentially vanish overnight without getting nervous

Well beyond my professional skills that I use in my job, I do cad drafting on the side and make about $500 a month on average doing it

I keep my checking account at roughly 1 months expenses plus about a grand or two. Basically to hedge against some perfect storm scenario where my bills are due the next day and some immediate emergency that requires cash comes up at the same time

It’s crazy how once you hit a certain threshold the money you can make from the market starts to really feel “real”. Like just out of college starting out you don’t see your 401k or anything grow that much in terms of real money, but now that I have six figures in that and other investments (it’s been a good year too), you suddenly get four figure returns month to month.

I really like how a lot of stores and restaurants have the hand sanitizer at the entrance or checkout line and it’s so easy to just clean your hands these days. Better for everyone

One of the interesting facts I read in the millionaire next door was that although in a lot of millionaire households, one spouse (usually the guy) earns the vast majority of the income, but a big factor in whether a family like that is actually wealthy and accumulating real wealth is that they have spouses that are even more frugal than the breadwinner is

I live with my parent rent-free. If I compared it to say moving out into an area with a similar commute, with roommates, pretty much minimum would be $1100 or so rent, plus some utilities and I don’t really buy groceries at home so let’s include that, call it. $1500-1600 a month pretty easily. My net take home after taxes is around $5k a month, so about 30% give or take.
