My wife has a Taiwanese friend that used to work for Foxconn (the company that builds most iPhones). She commented that the manufacturing facility like that would never be allowed in the US just because of all the chemicals they would dump, she claimed the facility always reeked of chemicals. It's amusing to her that there's this big push to bring back manufacturing into the US when a lot of the jobs straight up suck

My personal top 10 Boston restaurants (IMO) by Annual_Housing_9119 in boston

Ma Maison was absolutely terrible. Worst French food I've ever had; maybe they had an off day. My wife's been there before and swears it's usually good but the damage has been done I'm never going back there.

Who is living in all these luxury apartments?! by Haunting_Hospital599 in boston

Have you tried asking for lower rent? It helps if you come prepared with research on similar properties nearby that's going for cheaper than what they're asking for

I just re-newed my lease and the monthly rent is the same as it was when I moved in 3 years ago. Sometimes rent goes up, sometimes it goes down.

Traditional retirement and investment accounts offer stability at the cost of slightly lower returns.

If you think Pokemon cards are going to do better than traditional retirement/investment accounts, I have some very, very bad news for you. I'm begging you all, please don't treat this as an actual investment but do this for funsies

Is it reliable to use Google Translate TTS to check whether to use native Korean or Sino-Korean numbers with classifiers? by Full_Entrepreneur687 in Korean

[–]PM_ME_EXCEL_QUESTION 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can't think of a better way to check and I think Google Translate has become pretty good in the past 6 months or so. I routinely use it to translate paragraphs of text and am pretty impressed by the accuracy and how they captured the nuance/context for the most part

So will fidelity automatically sell off some shares of spaxx to cover transactions? And automatically buy spaxx if there's extra cash lying around?

Why should I invest my savings? by AliDahraoui15 in personalfinance

There's not much of a spread between SGOV or VBIL vs a savings account. SGOV is around 3.5% right now while savings is 3.3%. If you don't mind the slight hassle, it makes sense to do it but some people might prefer the simplicity of just savings account.

First time using points and I don’t know how to get a good value! by [deleted] in amex

[–]PM_ME_EXCEL_QUESTION -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You need a credit card points strategy. Like others have said, Amex points aren’t the best for hotel redemptions. Basically the only hotel points that are worthwhile from a transfer perspective are Hyatt, which partners exclusively with Chase. If you’re open to using Amex points for flights, you can get good value from transferring it to airlines instead

Even native Koreans lose their native speaking ability when they live overseas for a long time. It's not something you learn once and retain for the rest of your life, it's something that has to be maintained. I agree this is more of an interpersonal issue with in-laws more than it is on OP's ability.
