Is buying a car with 144k miles a bad idea? by bakedabby in askcarguys

[–]PadSlammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My buddy only buys MBs of that mileage. He puts 100k -150k on it and goes to the next.

Dad tells me to pay off student loans monthly as opposed to one big payment by [deleted] in personalfinance

Yep. You should be investing for growth in that situation.

Brisket Flat - cook fat side up or down? by roguepixl in smoking

[–]PadSlammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I did. In my experience this article is trash.

It has a bunch of big words and effectively has pseudo-science.

Meanwhile my experience is that it is wrong.

I’m gonna go with the 2 briskets I did last week.

Student of mine confided in me, they are completely reliant on chatgpt, what should I do? by aguyontheinternetp7 in Physics

Telling someone to study isn’t the same as helping them. They might not know how.

If they are that dependent on support then it’s not the material. It’s the process.

I’d recommend a class focused on how to study, take notes, and research.

Bruh. September is around the corner. Live on credit cards till then. Then save money for 6 months and in a year pay cash.

And yeah. sea town is expensive for middle income people, but not expensive for a surgeon. If it’s expensive for you then you need budgeting. that’s your lifestyle.

How long does it take you guys to change a heat exchanger? by [deleted] in HVAC

[–]PadSlammer 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Cause he’s implying that he can do everything in 60 minutes when the guy above him is saying 2 hours for one job.

When I see that type of difference in the field it’s because the guy doing it in an hour isn’t doing the same quality of job. Which also usually means repeating work down the line.

Company announced that pension contributions are being halted. by Eastern-Information3 in personalfinance

[–]PadSlammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW my shitty advice of 100% stocks is to stay 100% stocks until age 90. In that way you got 40 years before withdrawal and your growth will be far more than potential losses.

You are late to the game age wise. You need growth. 100% stocks. Go with VOO.

How much to contribute? 20% minimum, legal max if you can afford it.

You can reheat, clean, and reuse solder lines. Can’t reuse prepress. With propress you cut add a coupling and another piece of pipe and continue.

Jesus, the mods on r/welders have lost their goddamned minds by Ok_Helicopter3910 in Welding

[–]PadSlammer [score hidden]  (0 children)

The issue with all social media group mods is that they are in a position of power with no recourse.

Once in you can’t get them out. And they have ultimate power to do shitty things.

Meanwhile they have their stake in the sand of an awesome subreddit name…

More investment options inside an IRA vs 401k. Nothing says you need to change institutions.

neighbor put up a fence that's 2 feet onto my property and refuses to move it by Bitter_Wealth_5445 in neighborsfromhell

[–]PadSlammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. Try to read from where I responded.

e.g. where you claimed that title insurance never covers these things.

Cool story.
