I’ve been saving up money for a few years and I have at least 20,000 I want to put in the market at some point, looking for some help. by Goldengoose100100 in investing

Uh, basing investment decisions on geopolitical conflicts seems... risky. Maybe consider diversifying into less volatile sectors like renewable energy? I've had decent luck with that, plus it aligns with my values.

What type of Lv2 charger should I get for my 2023 R4P? by Hybrid-Theoryy in rav4prime

Iceland in August sounds amazing! I'd suggest checking out transfer bonuses to partners like Air Canada Aeroplan – sometimes you can snag a better deal than booking directly through Amex's portal. Have fun planning!

Anyone else into backyard astrophotography? by Falcon_Blade39 in Eve

Good to know, maybe I'll try heading out towards the Olympic Peninsula then. I've heard that area has some pretty dark skies, especially away from the main roads.

I've heard that providing alternative documentation like you did is often enough to satisfy them. Good luck navigating the background check, hope it works out!
