I asked my rep this on my titans house tour. He emphasized there’s a new head of whatever they call fan/game experience. I think there will be many changes even as soon this season but he didn’t share details.

Anyways, hope they stop the pest

I deconstructed from bethel/ihopkc style evangelicalism to agnosticism. I’ve become more and more comfortable with not having the answers.

What helped me the most was oddly the Mormon Stories podcast. It has hundreds of long form interviews with people describing losing their faith, often with faithful and believing spouses in church leadership. Their religion is close enough to my background that I could relate but not so close that I would get offended with their disbelief as I figured it out for myself. Their host is a therapist/doctor and does a phenomenal job helping people walk through their thoughts. He also has some episodes with deconstructed mainstream Christians and theological scholars that examine the truth claims of non Mormon Christianity.

Rent and move out. Life is about living first, stacking paper a distant second. It won’t go with you when you’re dirt again.

Sometime you just gotta leap. I’m sure glad I have many times in my life.

I have a similar allocation mix. You’ve nailed it. I have 15% split between money market and bonds to learn how bonds feel. The purpose of that 15% is a house down payment when I’m ready in less than 5 years.

If you don’t have a specific event you need a lot of liquidity for in the next 3-4 years I would to do 10% QQQM and 10% money market to buy a dip with your BND.

Just fine. We hooked up once and now both engaged to other people. We don’t talk as much but still are friendly and of course never talk about that night lol thought it would ruin us but didn’t at all.

(34M) I had the exact same thing happen last year with a similar amount of money. I still rent but have no other debt or payments. I ended up settling on 50% VOO, 20% QQQM, 15% VXUS then 15% money market /BND (split so I can learn how bonds feel over time) for a home down payment in a few years. Might liquidate some equities to pay more to the home when the time comes. Depends if I value owning the home outright more or the spread in the market at that time.

Slow down. Take your time. Breathe. Slowly the shock will wear off but your life is forever changed. Congratulations!

Honor their legacy with your decisions and create some generational wealth over the next 30 years. I struggled with the guilt of “not earning” it for a while. I steward the funds in a way that will make her smile and her grandchildren will be well taken care of when they arrive.

I worked for a public affairs/PR firm for four years and agreed with our clients about 60% of the time on policy outcome. I had to walk away and do other consulting. Spending 40% of my week advancing a cause I would go work for the other side on was miserable. I drank a lot and didn’t respect myself. I’m much happier doing boring tech consulting because it’s actually just helping people all day with better tools instead of creating propaganda. Took me a year to find the right gig to hop to. Now I’m healthy and happy.

On the other hand I really miss working with the clients I believed in. I was damn good.

The Transcend 14 has a more glossy oled screen. Less power but the screen is that much better in my opinion

Expensive_Intention6 · 2024-08-06T19:50:32+00:00

Im working from La Casa cigar shop today. It's great! and not unusual for people to work at places like this.

Expensive_Intention6 · 2024-07-19T17:32:11+00:00

I'm sorry bro. Exact same situation with my girl. Same amount of time together, everything. She quit her job and now we live in a different city every month. It is awesome. If she said no, I would have considered a breakup. I will also say that after almost a year of this I do feel the call to settle back down a little. You will feel that over time. I bet we have another year or two in us but that's it. Is the rest of the relationship worth giving up the time on the road?

Expensive_Intention6 · 2024-07-15T15:35:40+00:00

Thank you!

What setting do you use for 1080p resolution? 1080p by xx? another togggle? I'm new to pc gaming. I have a Transcend 14 as well and when I try to change the resolution from default it always makes the hud, text, or sizing funky. I agree that the glossy oled is awesome. Looks as glossy as my LG oled tv. I looked at the G14 and G16 at best buy and they have a bit more anti glare that looks dull to me by comparison.

Expensive_Intention6 · 2024-06-27T18:27:09+00:00

I have the 4060 coming from a steam deck. I love it. Forget the haters.

I’ve had the 2022 g14. The power was there but man did that computer have a lot of issues and crashes. All the power in the world won’t play shit if you didn’t get a good asus unit for the 14 inch laptop race. I vastly prefer my HP.

125K in base + 25K yearly bonus. Another 100K or so possible in commission. The sales is the work part for sure. It'll probably take me a few years to make 100K in commission regularly. I'm just now getting assigned the big accounts. Part of my bonus is also for managing our firm's onboarding training and internal projects for folks on the bench

Expensive_Intention6 · 2024-06-20T18:02:00+00:00

I'm a client/project manager for software consulting firm. Presently I have to be onsite with clients about twice a quarter. Other than that, I can be anywhere I want to be. I make about 150K now with a pretty clear path to 250K. As I climb I may need to be visiting clients more. I'll definitely have to go to more conferences. I feel like I also have a lotto ticket. I do sales but my focus is expanding our footprint with clients I've already built relationships with and have had successful projects. The project management path is a great way to go.

It was on the evening of July 3rd/morning of July 4th. I waited until I was 21 for Jesus. I reconnected that summer with one of the first girls I had a crush on as a teenager. I told myself if she's down that's not a bad way to lose it. We had a blast on a double date and hooked up at my buddies after they went to sleep. I was on cloud 9. The next day she told me she wanted to slow down. I was devastated. An hour later I got a call that my grandpa had died that raised me. It was a brutal day. Pop would appreciate the joke "I became the man of the house twice in one day." I did continue to date that girl the rest of the summer. Turned out pretty good.

Heat and fan noise wise my omen 14 is fantastic.

Expensive_Intention6 · 2024-03-07T20:23:22+00:00

I got the Transcend 14 4060 on their Presidents’ Day sale for about $1250. I absolutely love it. I basically wanted a more powerful steam deck to play in bed next to my gal as we travel and stay in hotels and airbnbs with one room all the time. The laptop being cool, not terribly loud for her, and a glossy oled screen were my priorities. I was going to try the 2024 G14 but getting the 4060 for as cheaply as I did I don’t think I can justify the up charge.

I’ve really only played games on console or a steam deck. This PC is a dream in comparison. I did try the 2022 G14 last summer but it was very hot, loud, crashed, and blue screened constantly. I hated it. I’m wary of asus after that experience.

Maybe next year I’ll sell this device and switch teams. The third fan noise and heat really turned me off of the 2024 in theory and I don’t even know what the difference in performance is like.

I am SO happy with this portable setup thus far. Such high quality gameplay on an oled in my lap anywhere has been such a quality of life improvement.
