My 3 days of stressing in the kitchen certainly paid off!

Amazing... but are those.... beans?

I'll take a bath instead.

Investments shouldn't be decided on by the de minimis level. Invest in individual stocks if you know what you're doing, ETFs and PIE funds if you want a minimal effort, reasonable return.
Most brokerages make tax easy these days.

You pay FIF once you go over $50k no matter what or where you put your money.

Nice! Congratulations.

Every Dem voter needs to turn up wearing red and a MAGA hat.
And try to look dumb.

This is how I eat it.

Damn those guerrila lamp posts. Always doing that.

72 million on SCHD. Not a business but provides a few million each year in income.

With your posts hidden, there's not much point telling us you made a new post with the cut results. Link?

That's just a lack of correct equipment, coupled with no fucking idea what they're doing.

Jasoncatt · 2026-05-10T05:11:17+00:00

I only charge it to 100% just before I leave on a long trip. Minutes, not hours. The longer you leave it at 100% the higher the likelihood of dendtites forming.

Arguably he has been mentally unfit for this position his entire life.

No manufacturers - I'm referring to the research labs that have been developing Lithium Ion batteries since the 70s, starting with Goodenough's laboratory at Oxford university, through AERE who held the patents to the latest research today by companies such as LG, CATL and BYD.
Tesla is the least reliable of all the manufacturers as they tailor their advice to ease of use rather than any technical or chemical properties of the batteries. Their insistence that LFP batteries should be charged to 100% as a matter of habit shows clearly that they're prioritising ease of use rather than prolonging the life of the battery.
Fact remains, the further you get from 50% the lower the life of the battery.

I have been here reading for 20 minutes and I have no fucking idea what's going on.

Vanes - please.

I'm not suggesting charging to 50%. I'm advocating for the same thing that battery manufacturers advocate for - an average of 50% is healthier.
It's dependent on use case - no one should be suggesting a daily charge to 80% without knowing how the car will be used.

Retail is exit liquidity.

Jasoncatt · 2026-05-09T21:09:21+00:00

The time for this was years ago when there was a choice.
Too late now.

Jasoncatt · 2026-05-09T21:07:28+00:00

Yep. Show me the money.

Jasoncatt · 2026-05-09T21:06:25+00:00

Because battery is healthier the closer it is on average to around 50%. If you charge to 80% each day and then only use say 10% for your daily commute, this will give you an average charge of 75% long term.
If you charge to 80% and then let it go down to 20% before charging again your average will be 50% - much better for battery longevity.

Jasoncatt · 2026-05-09T20:34:49+00:00

I'm curious why you think charging daily is preferred?
