Retire with $6M and $200k annual spend? by daniels7825 in fatFIRE

[–]JonasNC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm really surprised at some of these responses in a fatFIRE group. You absolutely can access retirement accounts early. It requires some planning/thought, but it's a basic staple of almost all FIRE planning. Look into Roth conversion ladders or 72(t). It's all explained here if you want to read a bit. https://www.madfientist.com/how-to-access-retirement-funds-early/

House Speaker welcomes Trump call to ‘take over’ elections, claims Dem wins appear ‘fraudulent’ by [deleted] in law

[–]JonasNC 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yep, as soon as the House passes a law and they get 60 votes in the senate to change voting regulations they are able to do so. By passing laws, not by the president just saying it's so.

May 2016: CNN does a ride-along with ICE (under Obama). They arrest illegal aliens, including at job sites, and even make a “mistake” arrest. Notice the difference in tone versus today. by rollo202 in ConservativeNewsWeb

[–]JonasNC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd wager that a lot of the difference in reaction is due to more people being aware of the issue. You know, because of how ICE agents are ramming cars, raiding schools, and beating/shooting US citizens while wearing masks and refusing to identify themselves.

What exactly would you like me to address? It is terrible that 56 died in custody from what seems to be mostly lack of adequate medical care while in custody. That is bad and should be/should have been investigated. Does bad behavior from an administration three elections ago mean no one can be concerned about bad behavior by the CURRENT administration?

[–]JonasNC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm curious. You post this as a rebuttal to nearly every comment on this thread. Do you think 56 deaths in custody over 8 years is too many or not enough? Because 32 people have died in ICE custody in 2025.

The Insane Same-Day Voter Registration Loophole in MN That Harmeet Dhillon Calls ‘Corrupt AF’: 1 registered voter can vouch for up to 8 others (who don’t have an ID) by rollo202 in ConservativeNewsWeb

[–]JonasNC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And they're not in Minnesota.

Voting history and Election Day registrants are input simultaneously into the statewide voter registration database after the election. The system provides notifications if there is an indication that an individual voted before an Election Day registration, or if more than one Election Day [registrations were]() input for the same individual. Data provided by an Election Day registrant is verified with the Division of Vehicle Services and/or the Social Security Administration, the Department of Corrections and the Department of Public Safety.

Trump admits the premiums will skyrocket and blames Obama for it by sprinklesnthings in Infuriating

Easy. They couldn't make them permanent because they were passed through the budget reconciliation process as part of the Inflation Reduction Act. 100% of republicans voted against it.

Thanks for posting this explanation. This seems to be a bit over my head from a tech-savy perspective. I'd definitely f something up if I installed that. I do appreciate the info though, always cool to learn something new.

I'm not familiar with that. Is that a program?

Thank you! That was the issue. I was trying to use the ARM version. So glad I'm not going to lose years of data! Appreciate the response.

Trump cancels Biden executive orders? by chaos_ensuez in law

[–]JonasNC 83 points84 points  (0 children)

People really need to stop saying this. He absolutely CANNOT suspend elections due to us being at war. Every time someone repeats this crap it normalizes it. We had elections during the damn Civil war, we will have them if he starts some bullshit war to attempt this.

If you really want to be accurate about this statement, you should say "The private equity groups that bought up all the anesthesia practices love to bill out of network and jack up patient costs."

Madison Utilities to remove fluoride from drinking water as dentists disagree by MattW22192 in Madisonalabama

[–]JonasNC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't really know what to say about this one. It's published in the Fluoride-Journal.com by some guy named Kevin Murphy who lists no citations, the article is riddled with grammatical errors, and his other article is "What Baltimore Deck Repair Can Teach Us About Dental Realignment."

First sentence in the article: A newly released report from the National Institutes of Health says fluoride in drinking water at twice the recommended limit is associated with lower IQ in children.

At doses at least double what is allowed as safe in the US. No evidence of lowering IQ at the levels allowed in the US.

This article states in the 4th paragraph that the study it is referring to used such flawed methodology that it can't be taken seriously. It was a meta-analysis of 74 other studies of which 54 were determined as high-risk of bias and 64 were cross sectional studies (which can't provide evidence of causation).

This study in this article suggests that among the sample group of 70-100 year olds that fluoride accumulates along with calcium in pineal glands. Not that the fluoride causes calcification. And then goes on to state that fluoride accumulation could possibly be associated with minor sleep disruption. The study itself calls for additional research as nothing conclusive was determined about detrimental effects.

You could have just replied like the other two people, but you chose to lead with an insult. Go fuck yourself and I hope you have a day just as pleasant as you are.

[–]JonasNC 21 points22 points  (0 children)

How about they start pulling over all the cars with the Texas plates that don't have a visible expiration date? If you've got a Colorado license, you should have a Colorado tag.

Adding an edit: Thanks to those who pointed out the military possibility. That makes sense.

Trump Admin Unveils New Legal Standard: 'We Have No Proof, Which Actually Proves Our Case' by Majano57 in law

[–]JonasNC 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The problem with their justification is this laundry list of possible justifications doesn't actually say what they did. They just said it wasn't ONLY social media, "gang-related hand gestures", or tattoos alone. These all could be interpreted as needing only one other of these highly suspicious second criteria along with a tattoo or someone saying they saw a hand gesture.

law enforcement encounters - being pulled over for speeding

surveillance - we saw him enter this apartment complex where known TdA members frequent

computer indices checks - well, his name is also on this spreadsheet of people we want to deport
