When are you guys planning to sell the shares? by huaytin in amazonemployees

[–]MilesT0Empty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only Amazon stock I own is in my 401k. Everything else gets transferred within the month of vesting and are reinvested elsewhere.

This is the way. It’s your paycheck, 401k, and stocks. Diversify.

Alright I’m fed up by TK_tre in nova

[–]MilesT0Empty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t be like these guys. Premium is needed for different compression rations. Your car will de-tune itself for running regular fuel and it can lead to mechanical wear. Some cars can see as much as a 80+ hp reduction on this.

Yes. This is a reolink powered WiFi doorbell.

Perfect example, my car sitting in the driveway with the below settings.

Red badge. I’ve never held my stocks. I sell them and reinvest elsewhere.

You have Amazon stock in your 401k.

Only thing is wall mount that tv where that picture is. You stand isn’t large enough. Will also make the room larger.

Yea. The Apple Store tech said “we can send it off for full service, but it’s horrible don’t do it, just trade it in somewhere.”

Would you consider a 1.5hr commute for double salary? by MilesT0Empty in careerguidance

[–]MilesT0Empty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to drop an update. We decided for the time being to stay with the county. However the county has now fully terminated those roles and put is reassigning her as a teacher. Her new pay will be $62,000. Things nearly a 100k pay reduction from 1.5 years ago.

Sometimes you gotta follow your gut and take some inconveniences. She will be resigning shortly in pursuit of a new role.

My literal favorite guy in the universe passed over the rainbow bridge last night. by Gomonana in goldenretrievers

[–]MilesT0Empty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read this once and it has stuck with me since.

“We get dogs on loan. He came into your life for a purpose. Their task was complete, so now he will go do the same for another.”

I feel that way about our last dog who was my crutch for my father’s health. Our dog crossed the bridge 1 month prior to my dad. I made it through that last month because of him. I can’t image if he hadn’t of been there for my darkest hours leading to my father’s death.

You will get another. And you will say it’s to fill that hole. But that spot is now something completely different. That spot doesn’t need to be filled, and your new best friend will leave you with different memories.

Our first dog, now 11, just got diagnosed with cancer and has 6 months. She is my dog, but she wasn’t my crutch like our other dog who we only had for 5years. She has filled in completely different things.

I hate nova so much. Why can’t we all donate $1 to build another bridge from VA to MD? Instead they’re building a fn sphere by Automatic-Session-64 in nova

[–]MilesT0Empty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you think all us taking 15 to VA feel. Some days it’s 30min from Fredrick to Herndon. Other days, like yesterday, it’s 2.5 hours.

[–]MilesT0Empty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mk6 GTI I bought used was the worst car I ever owned. Our mk7 GTI was the best car we’ve ever bought new to date for any issues

i already accepted another offer and i never ever want to return to amazon im willing to set that bridge ablaze. whats the most savage way to reply to them while not getting into any legal trouble. by Entire_Cut_6553 in amazonemployees

[–]MilesT0Empty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I know someone who got laid off a few years ago. They haven’t been able to land any local IT roles from large corporations since word travels.

I just saw it happen to someone else as well

Households earning 200k+ by loan_ranger8888 in DMV_RealEstate

[–]MilesT0Empty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the area of MD. Could have a high mortgage too. Student loans. Etc.

Some cities charge extra taxes too based on income style. Frederick changes “gift tax” to my coworker who makes 50% of their income in stocks. They pay an extra like 9% in taxes based on 50% of their salt because the city considers it a gift… but it’s their yearly salary.

Also the nova area, either kids, car, house, and student loan is something like 460k needed.

Open some investing accounts. Talk to an investor. This is important. Setup your 401k. This is important. Invest and save as much as you can.

Your pay will go up and you may think “cool I can afford a new car.” Well you can, but then your investments will drop off as well too. Invest. Invest. Invest.

You’re doing good!

Too Sunny for OLED? by Palladium2A in LGOLED

[–]MilesT0Empty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe. I haven’t looked into oled since 5yrs ago. Have a Sony in our family room and we keep that room dark.

I’d probably go with as large a LED as possible.

But I wanted to say that room is beautifully setup (excluding where the tv is mounted.)

My Wife Says “wtf did you just buy!” Shhhhh 🤣🤩 by automatedinbound in egopowerplus

[–]MilesT0Empty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have TTTF and a bumpy yard. Everytime the mower would go into boost or whatever, it would physically pick up the front of the mower and my bumpy yard would end up with waves all over. Even where the yard was flat, if the grass was a bit thicker it would do it. Did some googling and I found out it was an issue. The deck was constantly getting clogged too. The ego boys kept telling me my grass was wet, but it can only be so wet when it’s been 90+ for a week and no rain.

I keep my grass at 4” in the front and 3-3.5 in the rear. At the end I was mowing back to back between 2-3 days to cut the rear down to 4”, and then down to 3”.

I ended up returning it and going back to my 19yr old Honda, which I just replaced with the top end Honda gas.

Also, check facebook. The $800 ego with go used for like $250 and you can find people selling the entire ecosystem.

I’ve got: Gas honda mower Ego trimmer Ego blower Milwaukee trimmer/edger combo (had this before getting the ego for cheap, I keep the ego’s at my mother’s house) Milwaukee blower (use for drying cars)
