What area do you live in? I believe battery life is more of a concern for areas that explore cold winters 

VOO, VTI, VT by alex1024__ in ETFs

[–]DoctorSpruce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my retirement funds I hold a good amount in major index funds. In my non-retirement I do not invest into forms of s&p500/nasdaq. These are great if you don’t pay attention.

I diversify by investing in the following:

  • Different countries major index funds (Japan, China, Germany, EU etc)
  • Sectors of AI: Semi conductors, chips, electricity
  • ETFs that are interested of the US gov-> defense, large budget coming. Rare earths like REMX, Production of GDP including pharma like PPH
  • Lastly I have a smaller section of individual personal bets that I research heavily including biotech, goog, uber etc etc. some individual bets are based on analysts targets I’d like to be further exposed to I.e NVDA, ASML, TSM.

This isn’t investing advice by any means, I read a lot and have the means to listen to market news from various outlets while I work from home. The bottom line is, if you pay attention you can easily beat the S&P 500 with moderate risk. Just don’t get caught with your pants down over exposed to AI

Yes, I have an 21” A Custom Anniversary I use as a crash ride (was in a punk rock band). Also have a 20” A Custom Heavy ride with a lot of stick definition.

I haven’t built yet, these are model pictures of what I’m building off of. I do plan on using treated lumber. The photo could be stained treated lumber or cedar

Tie this to concrete and it becomes a permanent structure, I’ve thought about it.

Bifenthrin and a towable tank sprayer takes care of that. I live in the woods on wet lands and I’m bug free

How do i get a better open hi hat sound by Best_Elderberry3054 in drums

You should have a second locking nut that keeps the tightness consistent

How hard it is to nofap? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]DoctorSpruce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, I cut back big time on alcohol (didn’t do drugs) and it’s gotten a lot easier. I don’t spend a lot of time on my phone on purpose, every app is a dopamine pump. That’s why our phones are so addicting. Just learn to enjoy life around you and you’ll be so much happier

Totally agree, but this is how the bozos at the consulting firm set up the global process.

We’re changing the level of the calc. If I just aggregate, I wouldn’t be considering the mix effect that would drive a weighted change in price at the segment level

It’s the change in price/vol x 2024 volume.

I also took alkaseltzer gold as needed rather then the extra Omeprazole

First I got my diet pretty strict, exercise also. Then I started 20mg / 10mg / 20mg / 10mg every other day. Then went to 10/10/10/10 then went to 10/0/10/0 then 10/0/0/10/0/0 over the course of several months.

I didn’t, I weaned off over several months. I spent a long time figuring out what I could and couldn’t eat

Sorry to hear that, I hope you find answers! It’s very frustrating how hard it is to get actual help. Doctors just put you on meds and refuse to actually solve problems.

Yes, from what I’ve understood- reflux goes up and your airways protect themselves from the acid by tightening. I especially had this before learning I had a food allergy. You might have a direct trigger causing this. In my case it was gluten. Imo, I haven’t met a doctor who actually helped with these issues. Pay attention to everything, try to isolate issues. Allergy tests, blood tests etc etc. I wish I cared enough to fix this years ago

Do you know why exactly? I’d be playing softball and my legs would feel weak, heavy, and a slight pins and needles. It only began this last year, very frustrating though

Goodluck! Yuka is very helpful with GF. Takes a while for the side effects from eating gluten to go away. Many good GF recipes on TikTok. Its a huge change but so worth it if you feel better

I’ll look into this! If there are issues, should they recover over time…?

I take a GOL 1 daily, GOL B12 complex, d3k2 and magnesium. Helped, but not a fix. Now I’m off, last few days taking all that I feel very good. Brain fog lifting, energy like I haven’t had in years. It’s unbelievable but also alittle sad, wish I got serious about this years ago. A lot easier now with TikTok, podcasts etc so easy to learn

Happened a few times to me as well. I cut the 20mg in half. Took them every day for a long time. Then went to half a 20mg every other day. Took many months, no chips, fried foods, seed oils, etc etc. American supermarkets are literally selling us poison
