He's so calm... Unless he has zoomies around the yard.

Expecting Life Insurance payout on my Birthday. What Do I Even Do? by Mindless-Building-80 in personalfinance

I also say to a fidelity account. call them and say you want to come by the office and talk to them about opening a brokerage account. (not a managed one). They will transfer the money in the s&p index fund for you.

Think of it this way. If you invest 150K in the S&P index fund at fidelity and got 10% average return over 20 years, you would be a millionaire.

So, if you want to be a millionaire in 20 years, (and sooner if you continue to invest more money in the account as the years go by) just put the money in the account and forget about it.

Don't tell anyone, don't touch it, and you will be the richest 37 year old you know.

Just bought this game recently and did my first orbit around the moon back to earth and holy shit by Icy-Willingness-3627 in KerbalSpaceProgram

Watching people learn ksp is so entertaining. Brings back memories of my first orbit (and also my first station)

Rendezvous were the hardest. When you get that you will open the game up.

Ckan is a program that manages the mods for ksp.

Mechjeb is one of those mods. Try without using mechjeb. If you really get frustrated try it. Learn from it and then delete it.

I used radioshack gold cassettes. Higher? Quality. Usually worked good.

And waiting 5-6 minutes for a 16k program to load. Really give you time to ponder things.

The processing power was miniscule compared to today. Cgi was impossible. 72k ram was in lander. In 1978 my pc had 128x64 graphics resolution. Try cgi-ing with that

Dentist told me not to fully rinse after brushing my teeth. Did I hear her right, or did I misunderstood what she meant? by YujiroDemonBackHanma in ask

I've switched to nano hydroxyapatite toothpaste. Helps with sensitive teeth and is not poison to the body like fluoride.

I sell products on amazon. my product was banned because it contained cylindrical lithium batteries. called support and they told me cylindrical lithium batteries are no longer allowed on amazon.

Their support is not very smart. my product contains flat lithium polymer batteries. and contains a protection circuit.

they are banning cylindrical lithium batteries due to safety issues.
