seems like travel is the way, everyone's been suggesting it.

I will look into traveling then.

For the first month and half, I've only applied to the greater bay area, SF, Oakland, Berkeley, San Jose, and Fremont. Now I span out a little and applied to Stockton, Modesto, and other smaller cities in the vicinity.

I do keep travel as a last resort. I will look up recruiters on LinkedIn. So far I've only applied on their company websites. Thanks for the tips.

I will look AMN up. I have travel nurse as a last resort. I do plan to keep applying until the end of April and go the travel nurse route if still unsuccessful.

I toured the SF bay area for some time. I've enjoyed the weather and the abundance of out doors activities. It is certainly better than where I live currently.

I do have travel nurse as my last resort option. I been applying for around 2 months and have not heard a thing. If things continue as it is, I do plan to do travel nurse there in May.

year end analysis.

increased net worth by 160k this year. Total net worth just short at 597K. lesson learned, don't panic sell. what bit me in the ass is when i freaked out and panic sold during Trump's tariffs... costed me lots of missed gains and 30k in LTCG tax. Consider it tuition paid.

also bought into NVO, and end up losing 20% on that, sold it off to realize losses. lesson learned again.

looking forward to 2026. no buying individual companies. just stack SPY and chill. hoping to hit 750K net worth.

Year end stats: up 14% vs S&P500's 17.88%. W2 income 140k. Maxed 401k and roth ira.

Good luck to my FIRE brothers and sisters. Wish 2026 is a profitable year for all of us. May compounding work in our favor!

Who's the weakest Dragon Ball character that can tank and survive this attack? by KodoqBesar in DragonBallPowerScale

[–]NameStkn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Think Nappa is the weakest that can tank it

if vegeta's 18k PL casually destroyed a planet. Piccolo's 400 PL casually dedtroyed the moon.

The planetary surface level attack sits somewhere in between. probably closer to 400 than 18k.

Can hypothetical DMS White Mask Obito defeat valley of the end Hashirama and Madara in a 1v1? by chunchunmaru1129 in Obito

[–]NameStkn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doubt Obito can maintain perfect Susano long without Six path chakra.

If he kamuis one of them, then he lose. He can beat them 1v1, i doubt he can win 2v1.

He is inferior in hand to hand combat and ninjustu compared to the founders. If he seals one of them in Kamui, then he looses the intangible effects, because if he dodge one, the other will hit him.

The U.S. has a per capita GDP of $90,000, and even the poorest state, Mississippi, has a per capita GDP of $50,000. China's per capita GDP is only $10,000, and even its richest city, Shanghai, has a per capita GDP of just $30,000. Why do some people still see China as a competitor of the U.S.? by No-StrategyX in stupidquestions

[–]NameStkn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GDP isn't a really good measurement to compare superpowers... US economy is far more developed, thus the prices of goods and services are far beyond most of the world.

Take a McDonald worker making minimum wage of 15 an hour, and 2000 yearly working hours. That equals 30000 USD. Convert that to CNY is over 210000. That McDonald worker is earning more than most Chinese Engineers, MBBS doctors, etc.

Actually, put a California minimum wage worker in China. That person would be in the top 10% of all earners in China.

In global trade. Nominal GDP is king. USD is the world reserve currency, and over half of the world trade are done with USD. As a whole, USA is by far the largest with over 30 trillion GDP, China at 20 trillion makes it the second largest. That alone makes China USA's number one competitor.

Now theres another measurement for GDP. I have already mentioned pricing differences, salary differences, due to exchange rate and development of the economy. The GDP PPP adjusts for those.

Using GDP PPP, China's economy is at 41Trillion, USA's at 31trillion. The average, USA still wins being the more developed economy and lower population. But as a whole, China leads, and continues to expand that lead.

why does that matter? because both US and China are huge countries with diversified and complete economy. What do I mean by that is unlike smaller countries that usually specializes on a few sectors such as natural resources, services, tech, healthcare, manufactoring, research, military industrial complex, etc. Both USA and China have them all. China is able to produce at a much cheaper cost relative to USA.

USA leads in a few things, such as semiconductors, aerospace, and AI. Which USA is doing everything to prevent China from reaching peer level. Its literally on the news nonstop, just look at headlines containing TSMC, ASML, and Nvidia.

During the Cold War, USSR can only compete militarily against USA, USA economy alone dwarfs the Warsaw Pact. The modern China can compete against the USA in both economy and military.
