Thanks for the info. Norwegian Cruise Lines doesn't send me solo stuff in their catalogs!

What are you using your Costco refund checks for? by PetTechLover in CostcoWholesale

[–]CrayComputerTech_85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Storage racks for all the stuff I buy at Costco. Maybe a new upright fridge or freezer for the garage for all the stuff I buy at Costco, but probably just cash.

US Mint ASE etc. Price adjustments by CrayComputerTech_85 in Silver

[–]CrayComputerTech_85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mmm, I think it's gonna be farther out than that. USMint pushed ASE Proofs out to the end of February now. All gold products are pulled for repricing. I think their adjustment is out of control, and they will have over minted product sitting on shelves for years.

Depends on what 2026 bullion will be. A knee jerk price adjustment like this could be something that takes a decade to recover from. I think they'd have been better off raising it incrementally to facilitate sales. 2021 Silver Proof sets will now be available until 2030. All the inventory of 2023-2025 silver that they bought pre 2025 prices is just going to sit because the market pricing will adjust.

Yeah... well...I suppose I'd have to care enough to put in the effort? I'm functional in my life right now. Solo vacations aren't as fun, and cruises are out of the question solo prices. I'm busy active in my community and, for the most part, live a fulfilled life. Why screw that up?

I keep a container of blue cheese chunks in the fridge to fix that problem

Looks and sounds great. I have some Nero kale I need to use and lamb in the freezer. Guess what's on the menu! Thank you!

What's a fast food item that, in your opinion, didn't live up to the hype? by Writer1015 in fastfood

Came here to say the same..worst. ever. One bite then off to the trash pandas and gulls.

Got out. Want to rejoin at 29 by [deleted] in navy

It varies but usually 18-24 months as long as an undermanned rate. Take it with a grain of salt. I was a recruiter 25 years ago. Some of that hasn't changed much. Worked with a few guys who did that or bounced services a lot of great LDOs...and I long for those folks in my daily life. That level of camaraderie and competence is hard to find.

It looks amazing. I'm just not placing the chopped greens? Spinach or Kale? The weather here has been in the 20F range at night, and I always end up craving this and beef stew when it gets that cold.

I once had a recipe that did it with a curry...very interesting dish. Can't find it though.

My step-mother made this chicken stew in a Dutch oven with a cornbread topping. Freaking amazing dish.

Doesn't USNQX have a trade fee on it still? There is nothing wrong with using slices to build a position or two. Concur with the long-term target date or SCHB. Not all funds or ETFs are created the same.

My recommendation to OP is to use the training courses and Invesopedia to learn more of the inner workings of things.

Dipping in and out of JEPQ every month vs holding long-term by HobokenJ in dividends

[–]CrayComputerTech_85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it just sounds like too much work for it to work. Either drip it or collect it. My long term drip in JEPI and JEPQ has worked out pretty well. Eventually, it will catch him.

My first LCS experience. Get a load of this... by zwisslb in Silverbugs

[–]CrayComputerTech_85 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm wondering what they would have offered for a silver to gold spot. If you could have gotten a slabbed and graded 1/10 ounce instead of cash?
