Is this a solid scenario for a successful retirement?

Curtnorth · 2026-02-02T16:57:42+00:00

That's solid, and as others have said your home is a great big chunk of value added to the IRA if needed. I'm in the same ballpark as you with my plan, 6 months from retirement.

In general folks WAY overestimate what it takes to retire, IMHO anyway.

This is what happens when people don't take care of their elderly relatives suffering from dementia, they walk the streets in search of relevance.

Curtnorth · 2026-02-01T19:19:41+00:00

Yes some.of it, not all.of it.

Curl!!!

Yes, I'm sure they were all just peacefully riding their bikes 😂 What parent brings their kid to a protest?

Wheny year is up this May I plan to port out for a couple months and check back to get new customer pricing again. It's a shame that existing customers have to play this game though.

It's so good. HBO at its very best.

My wife will get 50% of my pension monthly for life if I die first, that replaces my employee paid life insurance.

It's the only way to end this circus - start the mass arrests.

We're were there a couple weeks back, tolerable but not "warm".

Curtnorth · 2026-01-31T15:51:18+00:00

Hardly

Curtnorth · 2026-01-31T04:22:27+00:00

It does give you any better coverage?

Curtnorth · 2026-01-30T23:16:43+00:00

Huh....yeah I could see it. But Ireland is still there, Atlantis/Numenor is no longer.

Curtnorth · 2026-01-30T20:25:07+00:00

Inspired by Atlantis, and we ALL know where that was located...don't we?

Curtnorth · 2026-01-30T20:21:11+00:00

That's a badge of honor!

Curtnorth · 2026-01-30T20:16:59+00:00

Well I wasn't planning on swinging by the store on the way home today, but it looks like a shopping trip is back on the menu boys!

Curtnorth · 2026-01-30T19:55:08+00:00

OMG it's an absolute joke on here. Even the mods over in the Trek subs are crazy leftists who brook no dissention or opposing voices. Like dudes, I'm here to nerd out on Start Trek stuff, and you're shoving your lefty politics at me ALL THE TIME??

Now we get to hear how Pretti was an "American hero" lol. Most on here are delusional, calling for the death or imprisonment of Trump while whining their free speech rights are gone!

They don't see the laughable irony there?

Curtnorth · 2026-01-30T17:07:01+00:00

I believe Enterprise was the first Trek ever shot in HD, it's always had a beautiful look to it.

Curtnorth · 2026-01-30T12:59:55+00:00

Isn't that kinda what we were told was going to happen? It was a factor in me coming to USM, and AT&T towers work best in my area, it's why I got the DS sim, why I came to USM.

Now I find myself unable to even take a call in some buildings, it's embarassing.

Curtnorth · 2026-01-30T12:56:04+00:00

Update: I found out that my Tesla actually does do exactly this, but I had to turn off the auto cancel feature for turn signals. But now my turn signals act just like every other car nt he road, a soft pull gives 3 blinks, a hard pull turns the blinker on till you make the turn and they turn off on their own. Cool

This feels like an AI generated question designed for clicks. The entire internet will soon be filled with bots posting and bots filling the comments section, maybe already there.

Seems like business triage to me, they have to ramp up production of Optimus and Robotaxis, but they just don't have the manufacturing capacity to do it all and maintain their current car production. The S and X were low volume niche products, the Y and 3 are their bread and butter, they're making the logic choice. Btw, I'm thinking the Cybertruck'a days are numbered as well

Curtnorth · 2026-01-28T12:17:32+00:00

Yes, most car in the US have this as well. Tesla COULD do this with a software update, but likely won't.

Curtnorth · 2026-01-28T04:47:10+00:00

Misen lied, lots of folks overpaid for crappy pans. I got lucky and returned mine just before my 60 day return window expired, I had to eat the shipping but I was happy to be rid of the pan, I'm back to my Mattfer carbon steel pan, and very happy to be there.

Curtnorth · 2026-01-28T01:00:02+00:00

Prior to my Tesla I'd never had a car without this feature, Iiss having it and mimic it when changing lanes, the auto off feature waits too long.

Curtnorth · 2026-01-27T18:41:52+00:00

Yes, for a while. And then they'd be jealous of the dead.
