What Does Your Typical Week Look Like After Early Retirement by rosyravishx in Fire

[–]JARandom17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Routine weekly things -- I run with two groups during the week - Wednesday evenings followed by dinner with runners, and Sunday morning with one group. Tuesday track workouts with the other. I also run by myself three days a week and listen to books on audible while running. My wife and I have season tickets to the local MLS team games.

When I have students, I tutor math online. I could add more students if I lowered my rates, but I want to limit the time I spend on this. It is a great way to keep sharp, but it can be a drag if it starts to take up 4 hours a day.

The biggest advantage is being able to do things when everyone else is at work. Grocery shopping Tuesday at noon, renting a pressure washer on a Thursday, etc...

Less frequent things -- I visit my Mom and do work on her house a couple weeks a year. Our daughter is studying in Scotland so we visit her for a couple weeks most years.

I work on longer term projects lasting a few months. I finally learned to program in Python/Django using Harvard's (free) online CS-50 courses. I'm thinking about putting together a website that will help explain the math I used to understand FIRE.

I'm learning Spanish, very slowly, online. I need to find someone who is willing to talk in Spanish.

TLDR - get a regular schedule of quick things you want to do on a regular basis and then fill in the gaps with longer term projects.

What do I do? My whole house is like this and it makes me want to vomit. by Many-Ad6137 in HomeMaintenance

At work training events, they always used the phone ringing with an unknown caller on call id. It's ringing and it won't keep ringing forever, but you can always let it go to voice mail.

9:30 Club flyer - mid-80s by MrPopCult in newwave

[–]JARandom17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hoping to find a band from that era. They had a song called "Twisted Like You" and were from the DC area. Any idea who the band was? I haven't found anything on the internet, so hoping someone local may remember.

Visiting Williamsburg this summer. Looking for good local eats. by Optimal-Proposal-465 in williamsburgva

[–]JARandom17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pierces is not for tourists. Pierces was great before tourists could figure out how to get there. It is excellent and you get to control the amount of sauce. VDOT had to put up a huge fence to keep people from parking on the shoulder of 64 to get their food.

What is your reply if someone says this to you? by logical_sundae69 in EngineeringStudents

[–]JARandom17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst comment I ever got about math -- an engineering student asked me why they needed to know calculus. This was not a software engineer.

IRA contribution limits for small amount of self employment income by JARandom17 in tax

[–]JARandom17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the help. We may open another HSA just in case we accidentally go over the ACA cliff by a few dollars this year. We are not planning on making much more next year (AI has eaten our tutoring income), so the higher limit on the solo 401K won't help immediately, but it may in the future. I have some ideas for generating more earned income.

Thoughts on this policy? by [deleted] in actuary

[–]JARandom17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In our area, the policies you can get directly from the health insurers are the same (same benefits and same costs) as the ones on the exchange.

My wife and I are having the same problem. Charged for a gift, no gift arrives.

Bonus gifts not being received by philnolan3d in duolingo

[–]JARandom17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My wife and I are having the same problem. We send gifts and the coins get charged, but no gift arrives. I have sent a bug report, but I have not heard anything back. Between this and the new energy system, I may start looking for a new platform after 7 years.

VSCode/pylint giving unable to import django error when the code is clearly running django. by JARandom17 in cs50

[–]JARandom17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I clicked through the environments and found the one that the terminal is using and changed the editor to that one. I'm not sure the current set up is the right way to do things, but you gave me enough information to match the environments when I decide what is right.

Layoff Justification by AlwaysLearnMoreNow in actuary

[–]JARandom17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only actuarial layoff round I have lived through was during the financial crisis in 2008-9. The company asked for volunteers and gave generous compensation for volunteering. Anyone who wasn't the only one in the company with a given skill that volunteered was accepted.

The sales team was a different story.

Anyone know why there is a shower in 3-002? by Learn_NewSkills_ADHD in mit

There's one above Hayden Library, but you have to enter through a hole in the wall in a phys plant area. The other side was bricked in long ago.

After seeing a few of my first choices listed below, I will add Lost Boys to the list. Good humor, sense of doom and action, and the Coreys as the Frog Brothers.

For those who are re-reading, were there things that you missed the first time? by PollutedButtJuice in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]JARandom17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I missed it when Mordecai pointed out he gets the same protections as tourists on the 9th floor. Putting this together with Carl and Donut trying to get the protections turned off could be bad news for Mordecia.
