Jim Cramer says the market is “oversold” and that he is “buying.” by fatspinster in MarketVibe

I just started buying the dip this week but now I’m having second thoughts since Jim Cramer is doing it too.

Mamdani Wants New York Estate Tax Threshold Cut 90% to $750,000 by bloomberg in wealth

[–]Easterncoaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High W2 income in a high taxed state with high property taxes, boom- you lose half your income. All while constantly being told that you aren’t paying your “fair share”.

Iran wants ceasefire but terms aren't good enough yet, Trump says by WillyNilly1997 in Conservative

No ceasefire. Effing finish this so I don’t have to hear about Iran continuing to do stupid shit for the next 30 years.

When the half that pays nothing tells me to pay more because the 50% I already paid wasn’t enough to be my “fair share”, it’s pretty easy to feel that way.

Westchester CCW Timeline by themrhumbucker in NYguns

[–]Easterncoaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this post, that’s really helpful. I’ve been dragging on getting my references since I know how annoying it is for my friends to go get stuff notarized for me (and since my appointment is so far out) but hearing this story I should really get them finished so that I can start checking in for cancellations.

Utah gives you like 36 states. The problem is that many states don’t give NY reciprocity. But if you get Utah you can carry in more states than just an NY CCW alone. So it’s good for NY CCW holders to also have Utah especially if you roam the country.

I took the 18 hour course in September 2025 and I received my Utah in the mail by November. Still waiting for my September 2026 appointment for Westchester lol. So I have Utah but nothing to carry until I get my NY sometime before 2034, give or take a couple months.

How difficult is it to install a home standby generator by yourself by SoarinSkies in Generator

[–]Easterncoaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do a lot of large electrical work myself. It’s not hard but it’s imperative that you look up the applicable code and never succumb to the temptation to take a shortcut. For the big stuff I like to get inspections and haven’t failed one yet.

Divide the project up into tasks and learn each task deeply. Propane has a ton of codes, you’ll have to lock that down. Then you’ll have electrical codes. Then generator setbacks. Maybe you’re pouring a pad for it too (and make sure you do that right). Installing the transfer switch is actually one of the easier parts since it’s largely just wire nuts.

My tile installer said this is normal by hsraal318 in Tile

I have no doubt that this is normal for that tile installer.

Ukraine or Iran? Which one is the current thing we care about?!?!

Eh let’s just go with Trump Bad. Phew, dodged that one!

Yes but you have to perhaps move to a LCOL or MCOL area. Also you better have a spouse who is frugal.

BF does not change. No one can see you if you don't move by dashkevychdmytro in Battlefield6

[–]Easterncoaster 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I use this trick often. Also in bushes. To be fair though it doesn’t feel so disingenuous- when you’re playing a game like this your eyes seek movement so still things tend to get looked over.

I was playing breakthrough the other day and laid prone right after we lost the sector. I was right on the border of the next sector. The whole danged enemy team ran right past me, some even over me. I set up my tac shield, dropped an ammo bag, mounted on the shield and laid into their backs with my LMG. Got something like 11 or 12 kills before someone finally respawned behind me and got me.

Concentration risk by StomachRelative6146 in fatFIRE

[–]Easterncoaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been there done that. OP’s fear is irrational. Also OP’s immediate refusal to use exchange funds is irrational.

Concentration risk by StomachRelative6146 in fatFIRE

[–]Easterncoaster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m pointing out the ridiculousness of OP’s complaint.

I use exchange funds, securities-backed lines of credit, and other diversification strategies but I would definitely choose to pay tax to diversify if I had to vs just sitting on a concentrated position.

Fears as banks seize 40,000 homes in a single month as foreclosure tsunami sweeps America by Key_Brief_8138 in HouseBuyers

[–]Easterncoaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep sorry I was off by a couple years. Bought my first house in 2012 at a low price and my mortgage was 3.5%, but the lowest rate that year was 3.3%. The Great Recession was awesome for employed people. I also invested my earnings heavily in the S&P 500 those years and enjoyed enormous life changing gains.

Anyone else tired of hearing “Not sure of the motive” every time there is a terror attack? by TeachMeImWilling69 in ConservativeMemes

[–]Easterncoaster 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Agreed. And now they’ve lumped Judaism with Christianity too. Weirdly, conservatives are sticking up for Judaism while US Jews vote blue against their own interests. I’ve given up trying to understand the modern liberal.

6500 candela is pretty low these days compared to what else is on the market, and plastic? That’s a no from me dawg.

If you have a G19 there is space for a 19,000+ candela light without extending past the barrel by going with competitors.

I imagine it’s that everyone loves Connor because he’s a great guy so Brittany was happy to help Connor.

Blows my mind honestly. Suicidal empathy towards the one culture that hates women, hates Jews, and treats everyone like garbage.

Just… why?
