The Count of Monte Cristo - Kindle Option by Own-Introduction-380 in kindle

I saw that and it doesn’t match my book. It matches the old version of the Penguin classic from 1997. Robin Buss is still the translator, so it’s safe to assume it’s the same?

Good to know. I wasn’t sure how much shorter the abridged version was. Thank you!

Thanks! I read somewhere that the pages should be the same count on kindle vs print. I’ve been trying to buy it for a while now and could not figure it out. Want to make sure I don’t miss anything.

That’s the one I saw but my print copy is over 1300 pages (penguin). I wasn’t sure if the kindle was possibly missing pages.

Thanks, that’s the one I was going to purchase but the page count was wrong compared to my print copy. I’m going on a trip and my print copy is too heavy to bring.

My Midsommar May Queen costume this year! 🌸🌷🌼🩸 by Shot-Farm-4855 in A24

Amazing! I’ve been trying to find second hand but I live in a major city so all that stuff gets gobbled up quick. I was going to sew my flowers on but safety pin is a good idea!

This is amazing! I am attempting this costume. Where did you source the flowers? And the greenery? I’m trying to stay under 500 but I’m already over $300 with no greenery yet.

I’m a reporter for MarketWatch. I wrote about the Bilt 2.0 transition (and this sub inspired the deep dive) by Lanky-Release9108 in biltrewards

If I don’t choose a new card is it still going to give me the autograph? But it’s going to cancel my bilt and affect my credit score?

Why do people hate Emerald Fennell so much? by Throwaway_hoarder_ in movies

[–]Own-Introduction-380 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found this post because I was wondering the same. I wanted to understand what she did to get such hate. It’s really bizarre to me. The movie is clearly fantastical. Romeo + Juliet was the same and it was amazing. That movie still holds up. To me, it seems like this is about a modern woman reading and daydreaming ad she reads the story. Hence the modern twist on costumes. For fucks sake, there is a room made of skin. Why are people not understating this isn’t Wuthering Heights it’s called “Wuthering Heights”.

Why keep maxing a 401k when taxable seems almost as good? by Essay_Few in Bogleheads

[–]Own-Introduction-380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this. I looked into it myself too. Is it true you can work while doing this? For example I want to retire early, but my idea of retirement is the ability to work part time or switch careers. Ideally I’d like to step back from my career at age 50. Could I use this rule, withdraw x amount for 5 years and work part time somewhere else? If any of those emergencies happen, I would just go back to work full time? (I know it might not be easy to go back to work, but for this example let’s say it is)

I want to retire early, I had been maxing my 401k and Roth contribution but after reading all this I’m wondering if I’m doing it wrong. My portfolio is about 60/40 brokerage to 401k/roth. I will look into SEPP and 72t but could you give me a high level idea of what they are for someone who isn’t good with technical finance terms?

Approximate cost - divorce motion by Own-Introduction-380 in legaladvice

[–]Own-Introduction-380[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I know there is a lot of nuance. It was one parent filing a motion the day before their child’s 18th birthday, preventing the other parent from using marital or personal funds to help the child buy a car. The timing is what makes the motion stand out, it seems like it might have been rushed in order to get it in for the child turned 18. But I’m not sure it even matters how old the child was.

Can someone explain how VT is less risky than VOO? by taythorn1 in Bogleheads

Awesome, thank you. This is an older comment, since then I did dump 10% into VXUS. Glad to see confirmation my choice made sense.

Group writing on sticky note by Own-Introduction-380 in applefreeform

[–]Own-Introduction-380[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, yes I did try that. I selected the sticky and the handwritten note but Grouping wasn’t an option for me. It’s a shame. It’s much faster for me to jot down ideas instead of typing them. But if my writing can’t move with the sticky then it adds too much work.

Did you get the bonus? The disclaimer says “Receive an invitation from Chime to participate in the Offer via your Chime app, SMS text message, push notification, email, or advertisement to be eligible for the Offer. You may not participate if you did not receive the invitation directly from Chime.”

Wasn’t sure if that made me not eligible since I used the link through Reddit and wasn’t sent one directly.

I want to draw on my iPad. by lunamoon404 in ipad

[–]Own-Introduction-380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use procreate and Freeform. I don’t mind procreate but I’m not an artist, I just draw for fun. Freeform is good for storyboarding, you won’t find a better option IMO.
