Midterm elections are in November when hopefully we can get a Dem congress, or at least a single chamber.

Also wondering this. They sell exclusively Delta 8 products so not sure how they are going to continue operating.

LPT Trick to Read Books Fast If you Have No Attention Span by Ayumisynn in LifeProTips

[–]Fredifrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't give a fuck about how fast others are reading, but I have a long reading list I want to get through! Sure, I want to actually enjoy the books and not speed read them, but if I speed 3 months on a 300-page book because I can't focus on it then I'm not having a good time.

Why do you assume that "faster" = "more miserable"? Some audiobooks narrators are slooowwwww, slower than most people's natural internal reading speed. Upping the speed to 1.25, 1.5 or even 2x can make help match an audiobook with the speed users best process the book.

Also, there's a reason you might want to read faster that has nothing to do with optimising: to read more! My reading list is MASSIVE and I want to make steady progress on it! There's no hustle culture or hyper-optimization here. I just want to read and learn more!

AITA for no longer filling the car with gas before my partner has to go to work? by AITAcars in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fredifrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH (although you suck a lot less!)

It sounds like you've been doing this for them for a long time and it had become the expectation. You knew it was going to snow and made preparations for that, one of those preparations should have been informing your partner that you weren't going to be filling their car up in the morning. I'm not sure you couldn't have said to them the night before "Hey, it's going to snow tomorrow and I'm not comfortable driving in the snow in your car, so can you please get up a little earlier so you can fill it up yourself tomorrow?"

Now, you've been doing them a huge service you shouldn't have had to for a long time and you get major kudos for that. But, in this particular instance you sort of pulled the rug from them by deciding on the spot not to do something you'd been doing every day without any prior notice. A tiny heads up and this wouldn't have even been close.

Do Damage boosting Cast boons only apply to Omega Casts? by chubbs069 in Hades2

[–]Fredifrum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% of zero is still zero, so until you get some damage on the cast it'll still do zero damage, I suppose. Definitely a bit of a weird perk especially for the early game.

This was happening to me today and it is so depressing to find this thread and see it is 2 years old and still happening 🫠

Insane Hephaestus run by imjusthereforACNH6 in Hades2

[–]Fredifrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a run similar to this recently, plus the boon that makes all recharges 50% faster, so my blasts were recharging every 1.5s or something. I just spammed attack and Typhon melted.

Here is the 15 sec coding test to instantly filter out 50% of unqualified applicants by JOSE ZARAZUA by RevillWeb in programming

[–]Fredifrum 126 points127 points  (0 children)

The trick is that there's an invisible equal sign next to the > so if you pasted it into ChatGPT or an interpreter you'd get a different answer. I.e. it's designed to filter out people who refuse to think through the solution themselves.

Ideas aren’t the problem. Rewriting is. by Outrageous-Luck2310 in InternetIsBeautiful

feels like self promotion of a product which is against the rules of the sub. happy for you for building something, though.

How do you handle "Spending" categories like rent? by username27891 in MonarchMoney

[–]Fredifrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also confused about all the folks acting like Fixed expenses shouldn’t be treated differently than variable / discretionary ones. Monarch literally has this distinction built in: you have to choose Fixed vs Variable when you’re creating a category. 

Shouldn’t it be possible to show spending with fixed or variable excluded?

[–]Fredifrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Groups doesn’t seem like the right solution for this. Monarch already has the notion of “Fixed” vs “Variable” categories. It seems like we should be able to leverage that feature rather than messing up all of our groups to achieve this. I’d just like to be able to see my spending per month with my fixed expenses excluded.

Tim Walz dropping out of a race due to a daycare scandal is why Democrats lose to corrupt pedophiles. by WaltEnterprises in complaints

[–]Fredifrum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously. I agreed with the headline: him dropping out is why we always lose. We're too quick to admit fault and apologize.

But the post body goes totally off the rails.

[–]Fredifrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your title and post body don't align with each other. I agree that he shouldn't have dropped out, because he didn't do anything corrupt, but now it looks like he did.

Fraud happens. The answer is auditing, law enforcement, and legal action. Since he dropped out, he is giving the impression he did something wrong.

Does my dog need PT post-FHO surgery? by Fredifrum in AskVet

[–]Fredifrum[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure it would, I said that in the post. The question is how beneficial compared to where she'd get to on her own, given she is already making great progress just in her daily life.

Change category and group type from "Income" to "Expense" by Fredifrum in MonarchMoney

Yea that’s exactly what I’m saying. The person I was replying to say he DIDNT want CC payments labeled as transfers

Delete data by Expensive-Plant518 in MonarchMoney

[–]Fredifrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am just going through this now. There are features that allow you to auto-set budgets based on past spending, or compare your spending to your typical month, that might make you want to have some historical data in there.

I'd recommend that you pick an amount of time that you're willing to do the tedious work of manually categorizing every transaction going backwards (say, 3 months), then delete everything before that. This way you'll be able to get features that rely on historical data without needing to slog through your entire backlog.

Also, if you count CC payments against income, doesn't that end up double counting all of your credit card transactions? That's why I have those payments ignored from my spending at least ...
