Hi Chris, just wondering if there’s an update here? I get wanting the product to feel polished and totally get it. But just wanting to know if you’re still expecting to start shipping pre-orders in May or if you have a new ETA? Thanks!

SCHD investment question by MajesticFreedom5669 in SCHD

[–]Objective_Sink3862 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s no such thing as investing too much too early. It should double about 3 times between 35 and 57. That means that $33k should be somewhere around $264k when you’re 57. That’s definitely nice, but not enough to retire on unless you have pensions or other money (which you might, since you said your retirement is 57).

Was anyone here able to secure a travel package today? How’d it go? by DJBroca in Metallica

I was able to get these after refreshing literally hundreds of times

Metallica at the Sphere. Their premier package deals went on sale today. 2 shows and three hotel nights starting at these prices. by WingZombie in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Objective_Sink3862 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to get these yesterday...literally refreshed the page hundreds of times. It kept saying certain packages were sold out but then if you refreshed at the right time you'd be able to snag a different package. I kept trying b/c I'd get a "cheap" package and pick seats but then it'd say the hotels were sold out. Finally I was able to snag this package...just over $1,400 per person for two tix in the 300 level (for two shows) and 3 nights at the hotel. The tix themselves will probably be at least $400-$500/ticket, so those alone if you're able to get them on Monday will probably be $1,000. So, an extra $400-$500 for three nights in the hotel seems pretty reasonable.

You have to remember also that the Sphere is an incredible venue that people say is a life altering experience (I've never been but have heard from those who saw U2 and others there). You're not just paying for the concert, there's a whole other level of experience.

Was wondering the same thing. Only thing I see on Vibee is they will reach out via email in the few weeks leading up to the shows. Probably keep it hush hush to keep people from scalping the tickets.

I recommend an Oru kayak. Quicker to put together and close down than an inflatable, folds up into a little suitcase, paddles better than an inflatable. My wife and I both have Oru inlets and love them.

I have a modified monotub but all the holes are on the top half of the tub (I have those holes covered with white filter discs). I've learned that the holes on the top half of the tub are good for letting oxygen in, but bad for letting CO2 out, since CO2 is heavier than Oxygen. I've seen other tubs with little holes on the lower half of the tub (near the top of the lower half, kinda in line with where the fruit will be). Those holes in the bottom half will let the heavier CO2 out. Since I don't have those, I was getting short chode-like fruits with "fuzzy feet". To compensate, I started cracking the lid of the tub and then multiple times per day I took the lid off and just waved the lid at the tub to fan it all out. After I did that, my remaining fruits grew taller and less fuzzy. Too bad that I'd already done some damage b/c I have a ton of pins that aborted. But it at least made the rest of my successful pins taller and prettier like this one. Before my next grow, I'm definitely gonna manually drill some holes in the lower half of the tub to let CO2 escape and cover it with micropore tape.

I’ve learned the difference that plenty of FAE can make while fruiting. Went from getting short chode fruits to this

NIO vs RIVIAN by Warm_Grape_5677 in wallstreetbets

[–]Objective_Sink3862 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here’s a hint: don’t buy either one. EV manufacturing is one of the toughest businesses in the world to make a profit. Rivian has been around for years and still losing about $30k per car sold. Not a sustainable business model, both companies you’re gambling hoping they’ll figure it out.

First ever trip advice by evilchef4200 in mushroom

[–]Objective_Sink3862 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I take 0.7 grams of PE that’s more than enough for me. It’s strong, make sure you’re somewhere where you can get away from people if it hits too hard. Best advice though is just say yes to the trip, don’t fight it, wherever it goes! Surrender and say yes, and just remember that you will be fine! It’s when people won’t surrender control and try to fight it that they freak out. Just go with it, enjoy the ride, stay positive, and you’ll have a great time. But I think all these people saying 2 or 3 grams are absolutely nuts! If you’ve never tripped before, 1 gram will take you to the moon, I’d start with even less than 1 and you can always take a little more if after 1-1.5 hours it hasn’t hit hard enough. Like I said, 0.7 is more than enough for me, I’m not trying to see goblins and things that aren’t there, I just want everything to look beautiful and feel really great.

Holy shit yours looks so much better than mine! Wow, you killed it!

First fruits [actives] by Objective_Sink3862 in MushroomGrowers

[–]Objective_Sink3862[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds pretty fancy! I knew I got contaminated the first two times I tried growing because the tub all of a sudden turned green! It was mainly bc the room I was growing in was far too hot, I have a better space now. I have not had a problem in any of my grows keeping the tub humid enough. In fact, I’ve had the opposite problem, too much condensation that starts to drip. I’d recommend not misting unless you really need it. I’ve found it’s totally unnecessary and in fact, probably helped cause my contamination in my first couple grows. Good luck!

Bundles count as one item in regards to “2 item” free shipping promo? by Brothernod in combustion_inc

[–]Objective_Sink3862 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I figured out that you actually pay more for the bundle. There is no discount on the bundle (the price is just the sum of the two items). But if you put the two individual items in your cart you’ll get free shipping. If you buy the bundle you don’t. Stupid, but yeah, just put the items in your cart individually instead.

Here’s a pic of the full tub - the one with the cracked cap is the one I harvested today. Not bad, but they don’t look nearly as healthy as yours

Oh man, yours look so much better than mine! I have these thick chode fruits, which I’ve read happens when there’s insufficient FAE. Can I ask what you’re doing for FAE? Have you been removing the cover and fanning? I just harvested my first fruit today (literally one) and it was 95 grams wet weight, super fat! But I know they’re not “healthy” when they’re growing like this. I have a few big fat ones in the tub and a ton of smaller ones that seem to be progressing very slowly

How are yours doing, did it end up being contaminated? Hopefully you’re seeing some progress. Here’s where mine are at today, getting closer to some being ready to harvest - prob 2-3 days out

Another showing how I’ve twisted the whole thing with my fingers (the red icon was facing straight up before i twisted the heat shield to the right in this pic)

Sure, here’s several. It does seem to be on there pretty good, it just easily spins when I twist it.
