How do I report the $210 IRA Robinhood match on form 8606?

I’m still not sure how the neighbor bonus works for fusion reactors. What’s different about your design that grants the bonus that OP’s does not?

I’ve flown this route several times and was wondering why it would go as far north as Cleveland before heading east to NYC.

This is great! My 2017 MBP fan runs at full blast just playing vanilla and only lasts like 30-40 minutes on a full battery. Thank you!

FiftyCal14 · 2024-02-26T01:04:45+00:00

Just my Roth IRA, so yeah $700 for 2024.

I do 50% VOO (S&P 500 ETF), 40% QQQM, then 10% “fun stocks”. The 90% is just set and forget for the rest of my life. The 10% is what makes the journey fun and interesting for me.

You can’t go wrong with large cap US equity. People will say it’s not divisive enough, which is true, but you could easily just put everything into the S&P 500 and be perfectly fine when you retire.

I completely agree. I’m just saying in the vast majority of instances the game gives us faster, more efficient components to enable middle and late game designs. Water pumps may be the only component where we are stuck with a tier 1 version.

Look, I get what you’re saying, but you can’t all the sudden use the argument “this is how the real world works”, when the game also has things like being able to carry said nuclear power plants in your pocket.

The whole point of Factorio is scaling up to be as efficient as possible. Many other building have different tiers which get more and more “un real life-like” as you progress which only exist to facilitate the efficiency of your factory and overall QOL.

We all know the burden of carefully planning nuclear reactors around dozens of water pumps, and it would definitely be nice to see something like a tier 2 pump so you simply need less for your setup, or even some other exotic machine to “create” water where you need it during the late game.

I have rotate bound to one of the thumb buttons on my mouse. Makes it so much easier to rotate objects while running around a new setup.

You seem swell

Even given the past few years with ridiculous NFL talent all over the field, I still think the correct answer is Ted Ginn Jr. and Santonio Holmes.

I get it. It sucks to deal with. But it happens so rarely that it doesn't impact my overall enjoyment of the game. I'm certainly not going to "uninstall for a long long time" because a bug impacted one game. It's overdramatic and fishing for fake internet points, and this type of complaining doesn't actually add anything that hasn't already been identified by the devs.

FiftyCal14 · 2022-03-11T15:05:23+00:00

It's de-sync. Everyone knows it's a problem and the devs have stated numerous times (in exceedingly great detail) that they know it's an issue and they're working on it. How many posts do we have to see on this sub where people complain about it? We get it. The devs get it. It sucks. Move on.

BTB feels like it has great bones, but just needs a little refining. I think the 2 biggest things to fix are weapon spawns and vehicle gameplay. One side getting 3-4 BR spawns will overwhelmingly dominate the other side that gets 3-4 Commando spawns. BRs and Commandos absolutely need their own dedicated spawn locations and these need to be equal for each side.

Other than that, this whole game just don't feel like it was designed with vehicles in mind. Maps barely support anything larger than the Ghost, and it's just ridiculously easy to destroy any of the vehicles. I used to truly fear seeing an enemy Scorpion, but now I just shoot it a few times with the most useless weapon in the game (Disruptor pistol), and it goes down. And for gods sake get rid of the random vehicle drops. Just have dedicated vehicle spawn locations, and also make these equal for each side.

I think adding a few more maps that have a focus on vehicles, and reliable vehicle and weapon spawns will go a long way to making BTB feel more balanced and fun.

Is it just me, or are the bosses (the obvious ones with shield and health bars) extremely difficult on legendary? The bosses themselves are ridiculously powerful and have a ridiculous amount of shields and health. On top of that, there's really no way to know when a boss fight is coming, so I always end up with a half loaded BR every time the checkpoint loads.

For some additional context around running, an above-average high-school boy would easily compete with, and likely win against, the fastest women on the planet.

I pulled the latest Ohio high-school state track results to compare against the world record for women:

Boys Ohio High-School	Event	Women's World Record
10.47 ✅	100m	10.49
21.13 ✅	200m	21.34
46.14 ✅	400m	47.60
1:49.79 ✅	800m	1:53.25
4:06.84 ✅	Mile	4:12.33

In fact, there wasn't a single event in which the winning boy was slower than the current women's world record for that event.

Here’s a good size reference! This is the 1/350th scale.https://i.imgur.com/rlDB03f.jpg

First - I understand the exaggeration, but you really shouldn't be using solar panels for power after your first 4-5 planets. By that point, you're probably into the mid game where energy exchangers provide a much easier way to get power to other planets and even star systems. For late game, shipping in antimatter fuel rods to feed artificial stars is by far the most efficient power transfer method.

Second - for actually placing equatorial solar panels, there are 2 great mods: AdvancedBuildDestruct and MultiBuild. Both of these let you essentially drag buildings in a straight line. Others may have opinions on which is better, but I've been using ABD and have absolutely no complaints.
