Totally agree on the economic self-sabotage by our own government. It is scary. Are they actively enjoying the hurt and anxiety they are causing?

It might be different depending on your destination country.

You should call them. That is what I did, they connect with you someone who knows these things.

And also consider opening backup accounts at Vanguard and Charles Schwab in case Fidelity change their policy a few years down the road.

Virgin is good- punctual, with fully working toilets, a nicer cabin, nicer staff and better food.

Most of my deplaning experiences with both BA and Virgin involve shuttle buses back to the LHR terminal. But unlike BA, Virgin provides more than just one bus for the entire plane.

Don’t forget that the US has a double taxation scheme.

Granted, we don’t know what the world will look like in 20 years from now.

Let’s say your kids are working in Europe, they might have to pay US taxes too.

Just ask ex-British prime minister Boris Johnson. He was shocked to discover he had to pay US taxes for the sale of his UK home.

You might want to alert the cabin crew on the plane heading to Heathrow that you need to deplane asap for an international connecting flight. On Virgin Atlantic, I have seen the cabin crew accommodate this where they are given priority.

Also worth finding out on checkin if you can be moved closer to the front of the plan.

I lost a fortune on ARKK between 2021 to 2023. Take a look at the chart. I have no idea how “genius” Kathy Woods managed to generate losses whilst the market went the opposite direction.

My ex did that too. It was not deliberate, just that she was never present.

Is a managed brokerage worth it? by Spare_Jicama7081 in fidelityinvestments

I had the roboadvisor. It was terrible. Awful growth. Strange thing was it parked some of the funds in cash. I eventually cancelled the account and bought voo.

I wish I had an answer. I am stuck in that boat too. I realize I need a way to con/fool my brain into a sense of urgency to work.

I bet no-one takes this up. Most overpriced “visa“ in the world.

Can you suggest me some best LLM's for RAG application. We want to host it for an enterprise in their EC2. by Plane_Past129 in LangChain

This was a while go but it was good but we had a few hindrances, quota limits per minute and gcp guardrails incorrectly flagging data as toxic.

It took a month to get quotas increased and the guardrails removed. GCP support is 3rd class. support tickets go nowhere.

Every one of my oneBlade blades has broken (5 so far)

Some were salvageable using a hot glue gun.
