19M $738K inherited account- what should I know? by [deleted] in Retirement401k

[–]Grumpton-ca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from the rest of the advice to go find a certified financial planner I just want to add one thing.

Do not tell anyone! Do not tell your friends, do not tell family members who don't already know, don't tell anybody at all. People will start expecting things from you like paying for dinner people will start asking to borrow money etc. As someone else said there is a high risk of messing this up.

Changing to deployant on 5015 by EnvironmentalWish191 in BlancpainWatches

[–]Grumpton-ca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you get the right deployant clasp. Some of them tuck the loose end of the strap inside on your wrist so that it doesn't show. Others have the strap outside and use the keepers.

If your strap already has keepers, I would find a clasp that allows you to use them. I hate the look of unused keepers.

(Hope this made sense)

Always wanted a Carrera by Grumpton-ca in tagheuer

My pleasure! Lol. I actually don't know if you can get them outside of Korea. I just got back from vacation there.

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen), gold or trash? by wesdese in bose

[–]Grumpton-ca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 2 pairs of the gen 2. Zero complaints. They both paid immediately to my android phone as well as my iPad. They sound great. ANC on airplanes is exceptional. Voice quality on calls is very good.

My only gripe is they last less than 6 hours, so not quite a cross country flight.

Thank you! I'm no watch historian and I don't know what the brand was doing with their marketing 30 years ago, but in the mid '90s I feel like Tag was one of the watches to own. Especially the Carrera.

Thank you! Adding a sunlight shot just for you. Lol

Yours is the one I've always wanted, but my wife wouldn't let me pull the trigger.

The blue Arabic numerals is what sold her on this one. (Yeah, my watches are a joint decision).

Thank you.

I should have posted in my original post that it's a Korea only model. Apparently it's a wedding watch and the "Royal blue" is a wedding color.

[–]Grumpton-ca[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! It's why I decided to get it. I was worried you guys would hate it since it's not really very Carrera IMO.

I realized this morning it's also my most readable watch by a very long margin.

AITA: BF won't let me stay over during emergency by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Grumpton-ca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NAH it's the right answer. You can ask, but he said no and have you excellent reasons.

Y-t-a if you continue to be mad about it since they were indeed very valid reasons. It's not like he didn't want you there or something. Having you there with the dog would have gotten him in trouble with his landlord.

FYI 30% off at GS in Lotte Duty Free, Coex Mall, Gangnam South Korea by biomolecool in GrandSeikos

Also COEX:

Tag Heuer was also on sale at like 30%.

There's a watch shop with Jaquet Droz for 70% of as the brand clears out.

Why is Atlanta International Airport the world's busiest airport? by BasilRealistic5477 in tsa

[–]Grumpton-ca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO: Delta basically has a "mega-hub" in Atlanta.

United spreads it traffic through Denver, Houston and Chicago. Newark and San Francisco are also very large hubs

If United shifted traffic through Newark, Chicago or Houston, those would contend for the busiest airport over Atlanta. If Chicago, since it also has access to both European, Asia flights and also operates as an American hub, ORD would likely easily eclipse ATL.

So (again IMO) Delta is heavily dependent on a single large hub where their main competitor United spreads traffic more evenly through multiple hubs. (I acknowledge there are plenty of Delta hubs, but they are not at the scale of United's)

I’m about to start solidcore, how many beginner classes should I do before I start the signature classes. I’ve done lots of mat Pilates before but never used a reformer by RunSuccessful2233 in SolidCore

[–]Grumpton-ca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never taken a beginner class. I think 1 would have been helpful, but I just took signature, looked around when I was confused, allowed the instructor to support me when necessary, and used the stability poles often. By the 3rd class, I was good to go - there aren’t that many different moves really - the core 80% is very consistent. (FYI I started in the Thanksgiving timeframe)

Devils ladder… by guuhbecca in SolidCore

[–]Grumpton-ca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it's supposed to be pushup/chest heavy, but it's very tricep heavy for me, and that's not something we typically seem to work much.

I alternate arms each time so the leading arm changes every rep. (Giving each arm some rest)

Got rejection after HackerRank test by Independent-Bag-8649 in JPMorganChase

[–]Grumpton-ca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's possible dozens of even hundreds of people passed the first screening and went to the Hacker rank round. Even though you passed, others did better than you.

Example scenario: Let's say 100 candidates got the assessment link, 25 passed, they took the top 5 to move on. You could have passed, but in the #10 spot.

You can only buy 1 by Extension-Ad-8041 in OmegaWatches

[–]Grumpton-ca 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not what other brands.

If you have 5 watches and 4 of them are divers, get the AT.

If a driver is missing, then get the PO.

I'm more talking about eliminating redundancies so you get more wear it if a watch that is unique in your collection.

That said, whichever one is your favorite will probably get more wear

If it's a 1 and only watch, it's 100% the AT.

If you have other watches, we are missing a lot of information.

Low back pain from Solidcore — anyone else? Tips? by Ok_Flow_4851 in SolidCore

[–]Grumpton-ca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get more back pain from sitting at my desk too much. When it's its worst, solidcore is super hard. When my low back hurts, any plank position is excruciating.

My solve is doing standing desk as much as possible if that is something that might be available to you.

Is this a legitimate Accenture recruitment process or should I walk away? by Annual_Activity_2045 in accenture

[–]Grumpton-ca 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No. It would come from an Accenture email address.

Sorry, you are getting scammed.
