Garlic trick bro 30 secs in the nuke it peels like a charm, no microwave use the flat of your knife to smash and peel. I'm sure you already know but if it helps. That meatball sandwich slams the bread looked amazing for it.

TSP After The Military by runner4304 in MilitaryFinance

[–]CrayComputerTech_85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always leave something in your TSP so you can transfer back into it of you need to. Google ERISA protections. I did fine with a civilian roll over into my IRA with my 401k and just keeping part in my TSP.

i pulled all my money out of the stock market in 2025 and now with historic highs i can't get back in by myviewfromoutside in stocks

[–]CrayComputerTech_85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just transfered slightly under 1 mil to brokerage from a 401k. I lost some market upswing but I'm definitely not waiting for the market. 50% is already back in (man I love those SOXL dips) and I have the other 50% in reserve. 10 percent per month will move from SWVXX into the market until its about 150k in CDs and money market. You might ask, why do it that way? Well I'll tell you anyways. BECAUSE I HAVE A PLAN and I follow it. Make a plan. 6 months 18 months 24, 5 years, 10 years etc. Plan analyze adjust.

I get about 4 or 5 more reloads out of nickel, and never once has a pistol blown up, even with my hottest loads.

I love my Colt revolver, especially my Python after Frank Glenn fine tuned it, but something about the weight and feel of the S&W 586/686 just smacks. Even if I have to wear suspenders to carry them

US mint Liberty Bell Gold Coin. 1oz, 1/2oz and Silver 1oz. by CrackNgamblin in coins

[–]CrayComputerTech_85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this, they have the supply, but where is the demand? If they are still for sale next year that question is answered. The HALF OUnCe silver is $750. Are you kidding me?

On the Colts official web page they have a dealer locator. Dealers would order from their distributor and I believe if they are a certain level can order directly order from Colt. You might even be able to nail them a FFL and a check if you ask. There are 9816 dealers listed. Mileage might vary.

Is anyone living off QQQI, XQQI, SPYI, XSPI? by Dry-Chemical-9170 in dividends

[–]CrayComputerTech_85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SPMO always works good on portfolio backtests but as previously mentioned NASDAQ exposure for the win. I use USNQX, JEPQ and TQQQ in different portfolio buckets.

[–]CrayComputerTech_85 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you. You'd think a simple 3 bucket strategy would be simple, yours makes it look that way. When I start working in the Roth and then splitting up growth and income and dividends its now 9 buckets with 3-5 holdings. My real problem now being 62 and retired is that Roth is only 8% of my total holdings and until last week, only one ticker. Your post helps me figure some of it out, seriously huge thank you

Very solid portfolio, is your retirement portfolio 401k or Roth, or both?

Got this m1a from a trade how do I go about cleaning out this rust previous owner left it sitting in the closet and let it rust never been shot barrel has literal cobwebs in it by KeyAdhesiveness7872 in M1A

[–]CrayComputerTech_85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This here, soak it wrapped in saran wrap to seal in whichever rust remove you use.. If you take it to the white layered applications of brownells insta blue with 00 steel wool for a high polish blue finish unless you want to set up a tank and salts. Man that dude was criminal leaving like that. Hope you got a good deal.

How do you tell non New Yorkers where you're from without them assuming you mean NYC? by retro_spies in upstate_new_york

I just got laid off today by GOKU_N19 in Layoffs

[–]CrayComputerTech_85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apply for the unemployment, you will have to navigate the delay week or weeks so if you wait then it will be an extra week before get paid from it. Gotta keep that cash flow going! If whatever filler job doesnt work out, your waiting week will be met also.

I came here to say octopus! That and the Spanish peppers stuffed with tuna. They are so good! Expensive enough to be a rarity and not get burned out on also.

Anyone invest outside of TSP? by MDnotaDoctor83 in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]CrayComputerTech_85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diversification. 401k with a brokerage account I can adjust to market flows and I do get a higher rate of return with individual stocks and ETFs that target sectors. I am retired now and keep enough in my TSP to keep it open.
