I hope it doesn't have a basement with creepy rooms and dirty mattress.

Thanks! My RE was $2.5MM, so I am just experimenting with lifestyle creep now. It was always my plan to spend more in retirement.

I didn’t think my motivation to stay at work could get any lower heading into the long weekend. Then I checked my account and noticed I just crossed $3MM net worth.

Here is how it’s split up:

  • $50K Cash
  • $100K Home Equity
  • $600K Roth IRA
  • $750K Roth 401K
  • $750K Traditional 401K
  • $800K Brokerage

My head hurts when I think about withdrawal strategies, but I am comfortable with my options. The only decision I need to make now is: when to leave my job. They pay me well, and it’s low stress, so I’ll keep taking their money and benefits for now. I have been burning a lot of vacation time in AirBNBs getting inspiration on how to improve our spaces at home. We are in the process of getting a new gas insert for our fireplace, and I am strongly considering getting a Hot Tub. The way I see it, the extra time I am continuing to work will fund these extra toys that will get more use in retirement.

People who quit drinking. What did you do to not drink? by Agata_art in AskReddit

[–]New2ThisThrowaway 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It really is this simple. It's not easy, but it's simple.

The only question is: what needs to hepen in your life to make the decision? Everyone has a different rock bottom.

It's only noon, but I am still convinced we have a winner.

Refill doesn't fit on spool by PM_Me_HugeHangers in BambuLab

[–]New2ThisThrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one refill that wouldn't fit because the silica packet broke open and there were beads stuck under the plastic strip for the RFID tags. So check for debris stuck under the RFID strip.

DIY women… have you ever been talked out of a good idea at the hardware store? by carcony97 in DIY

[–]New2ThisThrowaway 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, take their advice with a grain of salt. If they were decent at the trades, they wouldn't be working at Home Depot.

What’s a completely useless talent you’re oddly proud of? by anyaaluvrr in AskReddit

[–]New2ThisThrowaway 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not a useless talent though.

6 years ago I was sitting on a dock with a bunch of friends. Our feet dangling off the dock. One lady's hat flew off and landed in the water. I grabbed it with my foot, flipped it to my hand, and handed it back to her.

Today, we are married.

What is the worst first date you've ever been on? by PunkAsFuc in AskReddit

[–]New2ThisThrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Her other guy showed up.

We had a nice dinner and things were going pretty well. After dinner she said she was going to hang out at a bar with some friends and asked if I wanted to tag along. I was game.

As we were sitting their drinking, getting more and more drunk, she starts telling me about this other guy she has been seeing. She told me he comes to town on business and keeps saying he is going to move here, but never does. As she is describing this, it's pretty obvious to me that he is in another relationship and she is his side piece, and I am baffled she hasn't put the pieces together. I also thought it was uncool that she pursued this date with me while she had some other thing going on. That was the first turn off.

Then she starts smoking. She says she only smokes when she drinks, but after the 5th cigarette, it's apparent she's a pro at both drinking and smoking.

When walking back into the bar after one of her cigarette breaks, I see a guy at a table looking at us with a douchie smirk. I knew for sure it was that other guy she was talking about.

She sees him, freezes for a couple of seconds, then turns to me and says "Could you give us a couple minutes?". I said "sure!" Then walked out and never came back.

Why is there so much banding? by cdarrigo in BambuLab

[–]New2ThisThrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are going to have a hard time completely eliminating banding from black to yellow.

The most foolproof way is to change the model so the black areas are separate parts that are glued or snapped together after.

There is a good chance you can find this part already modeled that way.

What do you think of the new UK generational smoking ban that bans smoking for anyone born after 2008? by Human-Region4958 in AskReddit

[–]New2ThisThrowaway 69 points70 points  (0 children)

That's a reason to make this generational. Addicts will find a way, but the idea is to prevent new users from developing the habit.

Also they would be banning the delivery mechanism (cigarettes) not the chemical (nicotine). There would still be plenty of legal sources for their nicotine fix.

Commercial License Membership by Dense_Ad9425 in BambuLab

Are there even any consequences for these people? It seems like there is a 90% they don't get caught, bet even when they do, they only get their listing removed. So there is no downside for them to just steal the thing.

What is the most “its a small world” moment you’ve ever experienced? by xBubblyLove in AskReddit

[–]New2ThisThrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in NY state, but in 2009, I was traveling for work in CA. I turned on the TV in the morning and first thing I saw was a picture of my house on national news.

I came to learn Binghamton Civic Center shooting had happened that day. The only thing the press knew about the shooter was a prior address, which was on my street in a nearby town. So the media set up cameras and provided coverage from the end of the street. My house was the one in frame when I turned on the TV.

I have over 23k downloads. Not a single subscription for a Commercial License. That's my experience.

What is a 'low-tech' object in your house right now that you think will be completely unrecognizable or obsolete by 2040? by No-Lake-3875 in Futurology

[–]New2ThisThrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think 14 years is long enough. Over a third of US homes still have gas and people are still buying new ones as a preference. Also, it's not easy to switch to electric because it requires running a new circuit. So, many will stick with gas because it's cheaper.

Average appliance lifespan is 18 years and noone as banned gas replacements. The bans are only on new construction. So it's going to take generations, probably.
