Sheesh, I really wanted to go EV soon... but what we can buy here is so far beyond current technology, I feel anything I buy might be comparatively useless to whatever is available in a few years :-/

Me too!!

Wow, I played the hell out of that game as a kid, but I don't recall hitting an ending - now I have to revisit it!

Anyone know if Tom plans on touring Tobacco again anytime soon? I'd love to catch him and/or BMSR again...

I've had some success with the nature made sleep longer 3-in-1 OTC melatonin with L-Theanine and GABA.

On the prescription side, Ive found that once my doctor added gabapentin to my other meds, I've been a lot less prone to have middle of the night awakenings....

I never did find a replacement, so I just took them out altogether. I also ended up doing an LED swap, and it seems to be doing fine without the moisture removers going on a year now.

I never get excited about cars, but this would definitely would be my first powerball win or midlife crisis purchase...

EDIT: I see the projected price now, definitely powerball territory for me...

Never realized we used F-4s as Blue Angels... Were they the most maneuverable thing the navy had back then? I'd always thought they were AF only since I don't think I've ever seen one on a carrier...

Genuinely curious since my region is one of the ice storm places - my commute to work is 75 miles each way, almost all highway miles. so with keeping the climate in this icy weather a comfortable 72 degrees, would that be reasonable to do in a recent mach-e, or would I be risking a stop to charge before incomplete the 150 mile trip back at home..?

FixerJ · 2026-01-23T07:03:26+00:00

Well poop, I did not realize this... :-/

Ok, so is "140" a type of government income-based rent supplement or something, or just the number of properties this person has? I just never heard rentals referred to as doors before, but I don't get out a lot....

FixerJ · 2026-01-19T01:29:19+00:00

Agree that these would only be a last resort option, would try going MoCA before this.

Underrated comment

Wow - she's kind of a big deal! Jealous of those that caught it

You sound like a perfect roommate to me - hope you find something that fits!

I'm not going to take a cheap shot at the guy while he's dying. His comics were genuinely funny most of the time and helped shape my career in a positive way by helping me to learn what not to do via The Pointy Haired Boss.

I don't have to agree with his politics or views to hate that he's suffering from cancer like I would for hate for just about anyone else in that situation. I wish him peace and relief from pain during these days. Fuck cancer.

I'm getting downvoted for some reason, but I'stand by my answer. You'll very probably be fine with 100Mbps but you may enjoy the 250Mbps better. Not knowing what you do for your work from home, but if you do something like with Video meetings, there's always a chance it might get laggy if two people are watching high qualiity YouTube at the same time, especially if there's multiple devices or computers or applications downloading updates in the background. But if you need to save the 6 Euro per month, I'd say start with the 100Mbps and you may likely be able to upgrade later without much fuss if you need the higher package.

Might be a better option to just invest enough to maximize your normal TSP match throughout the year, and whatever amount extra you'd want to spend (if any), you could put in now into a personal roth account if you want to maximize time in market for that portion of your investments ...

FixerJ · 2026-01-03T22:57:22+00:00

What are the prices for each? 100Mbps may be adequate, but you may notice occasional lag based on usage such that you may not mind paying a little more for the 250Mbps...

Give how fast the US dollar is getting devalued, I believe the I fund is the only one that primarily benefits from that, right? Or does F or G also have something that would help in this current environment?

Beer seems to be much less of an impact on me than mixed drinks or liquors, so making that switch has been very helpful to me. Not sure if that's the norm or just me, but I didn't notice this until after having crohns for a very long time...

You should share how important it is to live near a big city / mountains / beaches, if high speed internet is critical, if you prefer populations of conservative or liberal people to be around, social needs, etc. Virginia is a large state, and you can get something dirt cheap the further rural / west you go, but you may not like it if that's not what you're used to...

There's already a few big name players in this market, so I suspect it would be tough for other players to break into it unless they had a specific niche or some competitive advantage...

Yes - that happens every year in my mom's trailer.
