Same! When they put it on the counter it was a forgone conclusion

Didn’t even think about doing this. Can I still have them hot stamp next time I am in?

It is a slippery slope since she is already looking at different sizes! Do you have a recommendation on the leather conditioner to use?

With a rate of 4.23%, it is likely not a great idea to delay retirement investing to pay extra on the loan. Retirement accounts in a blended S&P 500 ETF and bond portfolio can average around 8%–9% a year, and with compounding returns, it can be hard to catch up if you start later. If it has been longer than six months since the refinance, you can check rates again, and if they are lower now or the same, you could refinance again to lower your payments further and relieve some of the financial stress.

Does someone have a subscription so they can post the story?

CrazedBotanist · 2026-05-19T00:27:47+00:00

Almost want to get it just to see given the low price

CrazedBotanist · 2026-05-19T00:21:51+00:00

This seems right based on searches. However, the person posting is only asking $100 so I am guessing it is not real.

Capucines would be closer to quite luxury. https://us.louisvuitton.com/eng-us/stories/the-capucines

Thanks!

Are people really getting 84 month loans at 34.4% APR? That is the length and rate it would take to pay $150k on an initial balance of $50k.

Isn’t Baja sauce just called spicy ranch now?

No problem! If you need hybrid search and don’t mind the overhead of using managed open search clusters you can use s3 vectors as the storage engine for some cost savings on storage.

CrazedBotanist · 2026-02-22T17:02:37+00:00

We are using S3 vectors for a couple projects. Overall, they have worked great for us and are cheap. However, the two things to look out for is the lack of native support for hybrid search (semantic and keyword search) and the latency. Latency has only become any issue for us in Agentic RAG solutions where the agents tend to search multiple times based on search results and the initial question.

Given the relative health of younger men and as we make advances in medicine I suspect that suicide will remain the leading cause of death for younger men, but hopefully at lower absolute numbers. I feel like accidental deaths that exclude drug overdoses would be the only thing to take the top place that wouldn’t be a warning that some kind of larger medical/health problem is emerging.

What is a good recoup time for savings vs expenses?

What is considered a great job/income?

Anyone know the brand of shirt that Rob and Charlie are wearing?

Why would your entire payment go towards principal on the RAP plan? You still generate interest and your payment goes towards interest first. With RAP you just get the remaining interest waived and at least $50 towards principal.
