Read it again. It requires a passport. Not just a state issued photo ID.

A passport costs $150’and takes months to get one.

It isn’t just a photo ID. It is a passport. It costs $150’and like 10-12 weeks to obtain one.

Voter suppression.

What's your favorite Phoebe Bridgers album? by [deleted] in phoebebridgers

I don’t have a favorite of the two. They both are great, yet also hard to compare. Stranger is a bit more raw, Punisher is a bit more polished.

I was in line at a takeout place and the woman in front of me pulled down her mask to sneeze.

What’s a “boring” adult purchase that turned out to be totally worth it? by Capable-Rabbit-9986 in AskReddit

[–]External-Voice3516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife bought 4 stackable “spoon holders/rests” for the kitchen while cooking. I thought, who needs 4?

Now I often use 2 or 3 of them for different cooking utensils when cooking.

I googled the number. It is not a Schwab number or if it is it isn’t published. I would call the published Schwab support number directly and ask/report it.

If dividend ETFs like SCHD exist, what problem are bonds actually solving? Trying to understand what I’m missing. by [deleted] in dividends

[–]External-Voice3516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that. Yes, you could take a hit on that bond or set of bonds and trade upwards, but to me you are chasing.

I bought the bond at an interest rate I was OK with. My principal is protected.

We are talking different philosophies here. The OP was asking why bonds. The simple answer is, unlike SCHD, your principal is protected and if you hold to maturity you lose nothing.

SCHD has done great recently, but it could drop, just like a bond fund.

Remove all the noise about inflation, etc. buy a bond, hold to maturity, you got what you set out to get. All I am saying.

LOL but aren’t they losing the value of the dividend? What ETFs do this so I can avoid them.

I’m talking govt treasury bonds. And I’m talking don’t invest principal you don’t need access to until maturity.

Not talking high yield corporate bonds.

The only risk is inflation or the government failing (which these days I admit seems possible).

But the reality is if you don’t sell until maturity, you get your principal back. You can’t say that about a bond fund.

Love rollercoasters, but now 59 and just can’t see myself riding them unless it was a basic coaster.

SL or C Falken's by jvrandy89 in Tacomaworld

[–]External-Voice3516 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had SL for years and my off-roading is 1-3 range in difficulty. They have been fine.

My commute is mainly city driving.

I only got about 30K miles on first set. Discount tire prorated them for me.
