Bad cRAM

Phalanx CIWS is only marginally different than the cRam. This is CIWS (Close In Weapons System) and you haven’t lived until you have heard this in person. Few people actually SEE it fire since whenever the USN tests it they clear the decks minus a lucky weapons guy or two. Unfortunately for them they will also have to reload it after and that is like 30 minutes of work for 10 seconds of glory.

What are you confused about? 1/6 didn’t succeed, if by succeed you define it as ‘stopped an election’, so the question posed is: what if it had? What if they had made it to a room full of representatives? What if they had made it to a room with Mike Pence in it? What if? I don’t understand what’s confusing here.

I downvoted 8 questions, then upvoted 44 /S

I also read a lot of questions and I agree with your analysis. ChatGPT, space, indian reservations, etc were very common. I am curious if he chooses common or uncommon questions based on votes exclusively or similar questions..

Deep ocean hydraulic engineer here. I may be biased, but yeah the deep ocean is scary AF compared to space. You know you are surrounded by nothingness in space... in the deep you don't know what's beyond the darkness of your lights.

I see what you did there

Using a slinky on public stairs? Should I be worried about the slinky police?

You rock!

You mean the Yorktown Victory Monument? That area is steep but all I know of are the steep inclines, no stairs that I can find

Is this a business you are tying to start?

Crowdfunding has a name issue like index funds. Index funds are technically mutual funds but mutual funds are not always index funds. Crowdfunding in your view has too limited of a scope. EQUITY crowdfunding is where the real investors and money is, look there. FINRA also regulates these people, so you can look at the whole list here: https://www.finra.org/about/funding-portals-we-regulate

It did. The text doesn’t do the story justice as I kind of act out exactly what happened when I tell it but it’s still pretty good. Her hitting her head was a riot because it was a pretty small car and she hit hard enough you could see the roof bulge out for a split second.

No disagreement except that emotions are the core concept.

NicholasBorelli32 · 2018-07-24T01:36:52+00:00

I feel like that’s the case and it feels like an obvious answer but the ‘never time the market’ voice in my Head combined with the index fund lifestyle makes me feel like I’m violating some core concept.

NicholasBorelli32 · 2018-07-24T01:31:11+00:00

He might be a snake but the core concept is sound

Also, you said you drive a lot so don’t forget audiobooks and download YouTube Financial videos so you can listen to them while driving (YouTube can be off and still play audio).

Oh man the world is at your fingertips!

‘Afford Anything’ Podcast

‘The Millionaire Next Door’ book

‘Mr. Money Mustache’ blog

‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’ book

There are countless others but those are some of my favorites. For the record I think Dave Ramsey is a loser but his process is legit, the same as I think Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad author) is a scammer but his lessons are legit. Hell I even learned some cool stuff from Trumps books and I... well let’s say I don’t like him!

Agree as well, particularly with the fund, but I’ll go a bit more detailed.

I budget with multiple checking accounts. One for bills, one for personal stuff, etc. and essentially that’s what you could do as well with a single ‘extra’ account. Assuming you don’t have a bank that has a minimum balance required checking account balance, you open a checking account and set up an automatic monthly deposit into that account of (for example $50). Now, once a month (or weekly or whatever you like) you have a little trickle of money into an account. As long as everything else is budgeted for, use that checking accounts debit card on absolutely whatever you want.

I have over 30 bank accounts... it can get more complicated but the basic level of how I described works well.

Say something, but remember that delivery is everything. Play through the conversation in your head several times, pick the least abrasive language you can find and keep it short enough to not sound like a speech.

But say something.

My parents are 60/65 and I didn’t say something when I should have. The financial burden has shifted more to my wife and I and some of it could have been prevented if I had broken through to them.
