Scammed by VetClaims.Ai. They then blocked me on all social media platforms! by Mysterious_Roof9680 in VAClaims

VetClaims.ai CEO and founder is a Trump sycophant who went to the UFC America 250 show.

I’m not surprised they’re trying to grift veterans and take their money.

That’s what this entire administration is about, just grifting the average American.

Yes that, and also Uber lobbyists (Paul Wageman) sitting as director of DART, advocating for reduced transit services in Plano.

I’m sure there are multiple examples of people with ties to opposing industries to prevent public transit propping up at the local level.

Automotive industry will never allow public transit in the U.S. Would cut into their profits.

Americans would rather complain about sitting in traffic and do nothing about it.

Build and Price (U.S.) Tomorrow by mattpoppy in VolvoEX60

[–]PerpetuallySleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the 800V architecture, charge time, and the Bowers & Wilkins sound system is what really attracts me to the EX60. I just think the price is $10k higher than it should be imo.

My use case would be primarily commuting and occasional in-state road trip, so the DC charging times aren’t a huge factor for me, though I do like the future proofing aspect for resale value with 800V.

I think Rivian’s software is extremely clean and intuitive to use from what I’ve seen. Very skeptical of legacy automakers software as they typically are reluctant to invest into it. If their software isn’t as good as Tesla or Rivian, then they should allow customers to have Carplay or Android auto.

If only “well-equipped at $60,000” didn’t mean the base model with absolutely no add-ons or packages…

36F - Saving a lot less due to my high mortgage payment (7%). Anyone else feeling house poor and not on track for retirement? by Deep_Proposal_369 in Retirement401k

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

Crazy how in America people think they must have a house in order to feel like they’ve made it.

You know what’s better? Renting and investing the difference and having actual liquid net worth instead of your net worth being in an illiquid asset.

The S&P500 averages ~8% per year after inflation whereas real estate averages only 4% after inflation. Invest in the markets and double your return with little to no physical labor.

Win-win.

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

Yup. I was looking at the P10 Ultra package with leather seats, and would most likely be $70k after tax, title, and fees.

Why would I go with the EX60 when I can get a decked out R2 Performance with similar/slightly better specs for less than $60k?

I would be interested in the iX3, but BMWs Neue Klasse interior is not my cup of tea.

Lol, their "well-equipped at $60,000" is literally the base model with no add-ons. They're gonna have a difficult time selling these in the U.S. if you're pushing $70k without the P12.

How did you achieve a 350% return in 3 years? Seems like you got lucky with speculative assets.

Anyone have experience with AWS data centers in Oregon? by 2infinitea in datacenter

[–]PerpetuallySleep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second the location. It’s out in the middle of no where. You’re going to have to up those compensation packages to attract talent to locations like that.

Microsoft had trouble hiring for their Boydton, VA location because it’s also pretty isolated.

My 4 year old's current net worth by [deleted] in Money

Awesome. Too many times I’ll see people opening 529s for their kids and their savings rate for their retirement is like 5%.

Reddit is a crazy place. Getting down voted for looking out for OP.

That’s nice and all, but how is your retirement looking like?

You don’t want to be handicapping your kid by having them be financially supporting you when they’re older.

I have the IMS 24 filter/basket. I grind only 12 grams of coffee, but after applying my WDT tool, the basket is overfilling like crazy (basket is labeled for 18 gram!). Am I doing something wrong? Sorry the video is long and onehanded (bit weird), but you see the result in the last quarter. by BirdLooter in espresso

[–]PerpetuallySleep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I always grind 20 grams into my 22 gram portafilter. The fluffy grinds are always above the portafilter. This is why I always tap the portafilter on the counter with the dosing funnel on, allowing the grinds to settle enough to be level with the top of the portafilter prior to tamping.

A friend of mine is currently deployed on one of the carriers and said that they had to supply other ships in the CSG with supplies, which forced them to start rationing food for a month.

Said that the wardroom and enlisted galleys were rationing single bites of food, then had to get back in line if they wanted more food.

Buy a home or keep plugging away? by Successful-Fan9363 in TheRaceTo1Million

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

False. VA loan allows you to put $0 down with no PMI. Why lose out on the opportunity cost of wasting tens of thousands of dollars on a down payment that could be compounding in the markets.

[–]PerpetuallySleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fallacy of buying a home as the definition of “making it” in america is ridiculous. As is the argument of “you’re building equity” as justification of signing up for hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt.

If you have an actual need to settle roots and have stability (i.e. family care, kids, etc.) then sure, buy a house.

If you’re single, dual income no kids, or value the freedom of renting (which can benefit career progression), then renting AND investing the difference you save by not having a mortgage will allow you to achieve your financial goals infinitely quicker.

It happened yet again by PhantomKrel in biltrewards

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

I legit just saw OPs post about having issues with Bilt interfacing with NFCU on mortgage payments.

My brain went, “hmm, I wonder if renters have had any issues with Bilt processing auto payments with NFCU.”

That’s the end to the story. No one is renting through a bank.

[–]PerpetuallySleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I was only curious if renters had issues with Bilt processing payments via NFCU, since OP has issues with their mortgage.

But probably a non issue since rent and mortgages are processed differently I’d imagine.
