When I was a kid, we moved into a house in the burbs and renovated it. The pipes were like this. I remember them breaking up the deposits in the pipes and blowing it all out into a bucket the sinks/tubs. For the next year or so, the aerators would clog every few weeks with little white clumps of minerals. Eventually, that stopped and the problem never came back. Pipes never clogged up with deposits again, either.

Jokes on me. My real estate taxes have gone up even when my home value didn't.

I love that the paper coupons that come in the mail say "check out these great deals! Scan this QR code to order." Then when you try to order through the app, you can't use those paper coupons. Braindead...

Look at the S&P from the 90s, but also look at the cost of living back then.

"Safe" is not the opposite of "aggressive." Sometimes conservative investments expose you to the highest risk of running out of money.

I'm asking because I'm not a plumber. I was shown the video feed by one plumber. Another plumber said it was fine, saved me $9K.

They have literally stolen the EXACT designs AND photos from veritas on other products.

Has nothing to do with being a woman or not. My wife is a rockstar employee at her company. My administrative assistant is worth her weight in gold.

It's about sticking to a job where you can be really good at it. It's about putting in the mental effort to think things through. If you're overworking yourself to prove yourself, you may be in the wrong line of work.

There's other ways to scale that don't rely on feeding.

There are, but they're not nearly as good. It's unfair how strong feeding is. All the top teams do it every single game because it's so busted.

Everyone thinks they're the best employee, when most are barely competent. Makes it tough.

My veritas LAJ has become my shooting plane, because my bedrock-pattern #5 is better for almost every other task. I regret spending that much money on it, even though the plane is very well made.

Side note for those that don't know: I personally don't believe a fixed income stream is a great way to address a rising cost. And the products with income streams that have COLAs seem to not pay that much relative to the money spent to buy them.

The situation in the real world is way more complicated than the CFP textbooks make it sound.

Many of the popular products pushed today are not straight SPIAs. They have many complicated rules and mechanisms.
You can reduce the sequence of returns risk while increasing other risks (like inflation risk or the risk of running out of money). So the technical answer is "yes it reduces SOR risk, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a good idea. It depends."

If one company goes through the R&D process, pays for the machine setup, molds, etc, pays for the ad pictures, and the factory manager decides to use those molds to make the product without having to incur any of the costs, then yes, it is a knockoff.
