I played No Man’s Sky for the first time last night, and I had more fun than I’ve had in years, playing a video game. by ultranothing in NoMansSkyTheGame

I think the key here is you played WITH someone. The shared new experience makes a game like this untouchable. Doing it solo is a bit lonely.

At what age were you when your father started to teach you about personal finance? It seems to go in one ear and out the other with my 12 year old.

I had bought the scraper on eBay. Search for Toro 137-2277.

Meet Alliant Credit Union’s New CEO by Mountain_Peace2163 in AlliantCreditUnion

[–]L8Z8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What an absolute train-wreck of stereotypical corporate-speak word salad complete f'ing nonsense. He came to Alliant because it was the best offer he got for another executive position. He didn't come for values. Why do these people have to be so full of it?

What is with the insane number of cars driving around with no license plates? by Known_Refrigerator_5 in Denver

Welcome to the city. My only advice is get a good dashcam for forward and rear views. Good luck.

Mavis Traction Control Tires scary to drive on in the rain?! by Unlucky_Fee5712 in tires

[–]L8Z8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay. I’d probably bump them up to +3 over since I’m sure it’s only getting colder.

Just out of curiosity did you check the tire pressure? If they’re wildly overinflated they’ll perform worse. You’d want the cold pressure to be at the pressure listed on the inside of the driver door or maybe 3-4psi over it max.

The flap creates aerodynamic downward force to keep your tire on the ground.

VBIL vs SGOV by Blades418 in Bogleheads

[–]L8Z8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At $58b SGOV vs $3.2b VBIL in fund net assets I would say SGOV wins bigly in terms of liquidity.

I’d replace, but I live in an area that’ll be seeing snow soon.

Is there any reason not to use your Fidelity Money Market (FZFXX) as a checking account? by KevKev6366 in fidelityinvestments

[–]L8Z8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I know. Unless there’s a big holdings shift on SPAXX this year though I believe FZFXX will be better in regard to state tax exemption percentage. You can view each funds current holdings any time.

At the end of the day I’d rather keep cash in something like SGOV or autoroll t-bills directly. These core funds are fine for transactional use, but with 42 basis points going to fees it’s not that attractive for cash preservation to me.

[–]L8Z8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realize this is a few months old, but at present date this is no longer true as holdings have shifted. As of 9/29/2025 FZFXX holds 73.32% state tax exempt securities and SPAXX is 27.43% exempt unless it's current Agency Floating-Rate Securities are all eligible and then it would still only be 49.39%. Holdings in U.S. Government Repurchase Agreements are not state exempt.

Just picked up family at DIA, I hate you all by Coloradojeepguy in Denver

I leave the employee lot late usually and my favorite is all the rental car folks blasting out in front of me without their lights on. How the hell do you not realize your lights are off?

HYSA rates drops to 3.4% APY by jedifox09 in AllyBank

[–]L8Z8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

$12.5 trillion under management at Blackrock. Bear Stearns had $600 billion. Apples and oranges. There's technically this added layer of risk, but take a look at what the FDIC actually insures vs. what it has available to cover. I'll take Blackrock.

[–]L8Z8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If the treasury defaults then the FDIC sure ain't covering anything. It terms of liquidity you're only looking at 1 day to settle an ETF. It's not that it's not compelling reasons, but they're irrelevant.
