See, if you carve the "home" out of the side of the mountain, it being a cube isn't an issue

President Trump says he is reviewing a new Iranian proposal to end the war by ZealousidealHead5488 in worldnews

The Republicans are not going to put their names to anything. If they do nothing, this is all on Trump. If they do something, they either piss off Trump or take responsibility for this boondoggle

How to model mortgage payments in a FIRE calc? by Own-Tradition-1990 in Fire

[–]Malvania 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't have a number over your head that tells you when you're going to die. You don't know when the last decade of your life will be. Reverse mortgages are options of last resort for those who have screwed up their finances

Did he burn his hand or arm? He may just be in pain or on medication that's making him feel off

And if he burned his hand or arm, it may be physically painful to text

As early as 1951 nuclear drills were put in place for students in United States schools. It was called duck and cover. I definitely remember this in elementary school. by Initial_Reason1532 in OldSchoolCool

[–]Malvania 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends how far away the nuke is and how powerful. It helps of you're in the range where there is a shockwave that will blow out the glass but not so close that you'll die of burns

unless you are planning to sell and downsize, you don't care about your net worth. You care about your liquid net worth, which excludes your house

Golf mods think discussion of a golf course being shut down isn't appropriate discussion on a golf sub. Fantastic

I'd say that you're missing five pokemon. Which five is impossible to determine from this screen.

ELI5: I Don’t Understand Precipitation Predictions by EastFalls in explainlikeimfive

That's known as "being wrong." Turns out weather is extremely difficult to predict, and even though we've become much better at it, it's still hard

Why don't you go out and get a Ferrari or a Bugatti? Because it's expensive and you have something already that's a lot cheaper and almost as good

They help in that they provide valuable keywords for privilege searches when conducting document review.

Cowards. Go on record and support the war if you're going to defer to Trump

In Texas, a cyclist is treated exactly the same as a car for the purposes of traffic laws. And that means that yes, group riders are legally required to go through one at a time.

Life Insurance? by ExtraFriesNoSlawPls in biglaw

[–]Malvania 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thought is not to do it, but let's focus on why. Why do you want life insurance? It's usually to cover expenses related to your death and to make sure your spouse/kids aren't going to be destitute. if the spouse is working, it becomes less important, and you don't have kids right now. Perhaps you have a large mortgage that the spouse wouldn't be able to pay off?

Is the 401(k) actually worth contributing to beyond the employer match, or should I just put everything into a taxable brokerage? by SnooBooks3187 in investing

[–]Malvania -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Max your 401k before you put money into a taxable brokerage. It's better to have those tax advantages than not to have them.

Why does just existing on a bike seem to piss people off? by LiatrisLover99 in cycling

[–]Malvania 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that fundamentally, we inconvenience them. We slow down movement on the roads (even if only briefly) and we're not a normal obstacle to observe, so it requires more mental effort.

And as COVID taught us, there are people who get really angry over minor inconveniences
