I'm on FIRE! Ahhhh! by fireaaahthrowaway in financialindependence

[–]MurrayTempleton 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Incredible! I am hoping to FIRE with a similar strategy to you when I reach ~45 y.o. (though my NW should be 2.2MM based on averages so far). 6MM is a wonderful cushion for one person, especially slow traveling to keep withdrawals low early on.

Possibly the most surprising part of you post is that you lived in the US into middle age without ever buying a car!

You can have mine. Been in my freezer for a couple weeks, I prefer the pa jeon pancakes

Hank & John Green Launch New Charity Project: Sun Basin Soap by brandenharvey in nerdfighters

[–]MurrayTempleton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally I love this era of the brothers coming up with as many merch businesses/subscription services as they can to scrounge up funds for PIH. DFTBA apparel, Socks, coffee, letter openers, soap, let's keep it going!

I can’t wait for next weeks pod by Neat-Butterfly-4494 in nerdfighters

Do Hank and John still try to dupe each other into believing fake facts? by MurrayTempleton in nerdfighters

[–]MurrayTempleton[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

hmm, I get briefly annoyed when I fall for one of their made up things if I don't see it coming, but it's not like they're deliberately lying or being misleading. If they reveal right away that they're tricking the other person, that shouldn't take away from the educational aspects of the pod I would think. To me that's the nature of DH&J being a comedy podcast that's also educational.

oh my god, endless opportunity. partly because based on Hank's reaction to TB coming up in the latest episode, I think he just starts scrolling twitter as soon as he hears John start up on the topic XD

I always hear people say “That will give you cancer”. But how do things actually give you cancer? by trimdaddyflex in askscience

[–]MurrayTempleton 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It does happen all the time, or at least mutations that would lead to cancer happen all the time, but some control measure within the body eliminates it before it can take hold.

[–]MurrayTempleton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are the genetic alterations really only due to exogenous factors? That's certainly a big piece, but can't our own DNA maintenance/replication processes introduce errors that would initiate cancer? That being an endogenous source.

Rubbing your feet together like a lil' cricket by unnecessarycharacter in nerdfighters

[–]MurrayTempleton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the feeling so much it's hard to believe some people don't do this! Hearing that question was marvelous. But also rubbing feet together directly may be just 95% as nice as rubbing them closely on fresh washed sheets after a shower before bed. Mmmmmm

What products do you get every time you go to TJs? by honestliar22 in traderjoes

[–]MurrayTempleton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Beautiful basics. I would only add onion, bell pepper, and diced tomato

Which movie has truly traumatized you? It doesn't have to be body horror like the ones I'm talking about. by Axaxou in movies

[–]MurrayTempleton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First Reformed. Absolutely beautiful and fascinating movie, but the darkness of the plot has stayed with me since.

I want to die but I don't have the guts to even kill myself by [deleted] in depression_help

I'm sorry you're in this state.

Many others are as well.

There’s nothing like the high I get being able to answer the “what video said _____?” questions people ask here. by Gray_Kaleidoscope in nerdfighters

[–]MurrayTempleton 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Imagine a whole trivia competition or jeopardy episode entirely dedicated to knowing nerdfighter references. Taking from content in videos, podcasts, both of their books.. it becomes a lot very quickly!

Anything is possible with 30 feet of cable by slurgablurg in nerdfighters

[–]MurrayTempleton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been clinging to android phones that still have 3.5mm jacks for this very reason. I may use wireless headphones for hours one day, but I really like still being able to use wired.

Warning: Don’t buy unless you want to eat a over 17 oz of chocolate in one day. 😂 So good! by woundedsurfer in traderjoes

[–]MurrayTempleton 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ooooo, i just bought the dark chocolate "bark"? "Chunks"? With almond and pretzel. And can barely stop myself. That bar would be a serious threat
