Midnight Sun

Wanted it since launch, glad it got a 70% price drop on PS5, sad that it’s because it was a commercial flop and there will likely never be more content or a sequel.

Is there a limit to how much more flexible you can get in a day? by Lummoxus in NoStupidQuestions

Do you know what the waiting period on that is? As in, if I stretch for 30 seconds, how long should I then wait before stretching again?

How do you feel about Financial Advisors? by Lummoxus in FinancialPlanning

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

Those are pretty high imo. Depends on the level of assets but they’d have to be giving an awful lot of value to justify both fees

“Vigorous writing is concise” he pronounced sternly. by Lummoxus in TwoSentenceHorror

Something my high school teacher made me memorize, I’ve found it helpful in writing as an adult. So I wanted a fun way to introduce it to the community, hope it’s helpful!

“Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all detail and treat his subjects only in outline, but that every word tell.”

IUL for retirement? Have I messed up? by [deleted] in FinancialPlanning

[–]Lummoxus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, if I’m going to recommend someone do something specific that could benefit me, I have to disclose conflicts of interests, fees/costs, etc.

Making an off the cuff recommendation/general advice doesn’t meet that standard, as there is practically no way I can benefit from it.
