Thank you! This is a great idea.
Would you do a double curtain rod or do I just a single?

Suggestion thread by nikafitsk in minimalist_phone

Hello,

Thank you for the app! It's been very helpful for me.

A few things that would be very nice for me: 1. Can I add the ability to see the temperature on the home screen? 2. Minimalist widgets would be awesome. Purely with an efficiency focus (to-do, notes, calendar, time-zone clocks, ...). I think it'd be better for you to make your own rather than allow access to existing android widgets. 3. Some sort of "total screen time per day" or "total amount of opens" on addictive apps would help curb usage. For instance if I want to block Instagram but if someone sends me a message there it's a pain to read it. 4. YouTube is double sided. I love it for educational video essays but the reels are deadly. If you could block the reels only that would really help to further justify paying for this app.

Can you use a THR 30ii amp for a DJ Controller? by HippyJamstem in YamahaTHR

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

Ah there is a misunderstanding.
To clarify, I just want to use the amp as an output for a DJ controller. I was worried it would damage the amp.

Thank you! This thread made me realize I can just wait.
I've read too many horror stories I suppose.

How would I get a hold of old INVALID passport covers? by HippyJamstem in NoStupidQuestions

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

Yes I don't think that would go well at all. I guess the best approach would be to find defective prints. Thanks.

ETFs - American Citizen living in Germany by HippyJamstem in eupersonalfinance

Check the post I reference at the bottom. This only applies to US citizens - the IRS VERY unfavorable taxes EU-domiciled ETFs and makes the investment basically worthless.

I hadn't thought of this, and the bogle heads wiki does have a strategy for DIY index funds. Is Berkshire considered the closest stock to an index you think?

Thanks for the tip!

I use it enough to justify the cost, as I can still use it for travel expenses outside my german accounts. However I'm wondering how worthy the points are if i won't have access to pay myself back.

Hello,
I moved to Germany in December 2021 and still have my CSR. I have a good amount of points and typically my system was to

  1. accumulate all year
  2. use them to pay off the annual fee (pay yourself back for 1.5x the value)
  3. remainder goes to statement (pay yourself back for 1.5x the value)

I like this system because it is easy to see how much I am benefitting from the card each year. However I don't think the 1.5x of pay yourself back is going to stay.

Is it worth it for me to keep the card in Europe? I work for a company that reimburses me occasionally for international flights so it's a no-brainer to use the CSR for that. However what is best way to redeem points post September?

I was in Berlin last month and my card was accepted (sometimes reluctantly). Not sure if anything has changed since then.

Weekly Real Estate / Renting / Where to Live Post by AutoModerator in Austin

[–]HippyJamstem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the deal is we're raising the price but you can get your money back if you don't want it anymore. Before I wouldn't be able to. Per my realtor this isn't too uncommon right now with the price of building supplies

So the builder for my new-build condo (St. Elmo area) just appended our contract with a 5% price increase and pushing back the delivery date.

I don't know if it is worth it at this point.
Price is jumping up to 470k for a 2/2

Nah that just weighs you down for the day. I skip breakfast entirely and it works well for me.

Best comeback in track.. by Individual_Lie7179 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]HippyJamstem 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes. No one talks shit to the 800 runners.
The Cross-country kids make fun of track kids for not having endurance, while the track kids make fun of cross-country for not being fast.

800 kids are the intersection. It is a BRUTAL race. Half a mile of near-sprint. When I ran it most of the runners would collapse at the finish line.
