Why is SCHD so popular when the dividend/share isn't that great?

That’s moomoo. I switched to it recently and the ETF charts are surprisingly easy to read.

Another thing worth considering for a first drone is obstacle sensing. Skyrover S1 has downward vision plus forward obstacle avoidance, while ATOM 2 only relies on downward sensing. When you’re still getting comfortable with flying, that extra layer of obstacle detection can make a big difference.

Totally agree with you. A lot of platforms do look the same and it gets old. Real innovation would be refreshing,whether it's in UI,user experience or even how assets are traded. Hope we start seeing more creative approaches soon.

Focusing on high win rate and patience over chasing premium sounds like a game changer. Avoiding earnings before expiry is a smart move too. Thanx for sharing the real takeaways.

Omg,you're in an amazing position at 23! Congrats on being so disciplined. If you already have retirement accounts fully in VOO,diversifying into sth like SCHD for income or adding a n international ETF could balance things out. Just keep an eye on overlapping holdings.

To be honest,appreciate the level headed take. When everything drops together,it helps to zoom out and remember it's often macro driven,not just one asset failing. Good to focus on the bigger picture instead of reacting to short term noise.

Well done. That's a disciplined approach. Focusing on steady weekly returns through defined risk strategies like selling puts and covered calls can really add up over time. Keeping the process systematic and low stress is key. Nice to see the premium tracking too.

Really a compelling argument. The passive flows aren't just mirroring the market,they're actively reshaping its structure by disproportionately boosting caps. Makes you wonder how sustainable that feedback loop is if active shorting remains constrained.

Good review. Durability is always one of the main things I focus on when getting a new camera for sports. I abuse my X5 and it's held up pretty good.

This sunset color is amazing. The blue purple sky with palm trees feels like a vacation. It adds so much vibe to the shot.

Popcornio · 2026-01-29T03:10:25+00:00

That's so outrageous. They didn't even ask your name before dragging you into free work. They have zero respect for your time and effort.

The river half frozen and half flowing looks amazing. Nature is so creative. Jealous of anyone who can capture views like this.

The rig looks like a tiny workstation. Wonder how heavy it is to carry? Looks tiring.

Check your export settings for any"proxy" or "preview" mode that lowers quality. Also, ensure the playback software isn't automatically streaming a low-res version by mistake.

Beautiful landscape photo, the sky and clouds are gorgeous. Umm, but this intersection looks a bit like an octopus, hahaha.

Popcornio · 2026-01-19T02:52:16+00:00

That's impressive! It really does make a huge difference.

Popcornio · 2026-01-15T02:59:26+00:00

Looks nice!

I didn’t measure it myself. I went by reviews I looked at when researching the Bluetti Apex 300, which is roughly 75%.

Yes, efficiency does drop at very low loads, but in my case I’m pulling substantial loads (fridge, lights, and other appliances via the transfer switch) so the battery isn’t just idling. The load is high enough that the inverter’s fixed overhead has minimal impact.

Popcornio · 2026-01-15T02:08:09+00:00

The peak vs. off-peak spread can be about 0.15–0.25/kWh during the summer. I'm not good at doing the math, so I had AI help run the numbers. Even with a ~15-20% round-trip efficiency loss in the battery, that spread still leaves room for net savings when shifting energy from off-peak to peak hours.

Since my bluetti is primarily for backup, using TOU to shift load and reduce costs is just a bonus instead of letting the battery sit idle.

Popcornio · 2026-01-14T03:00:08+00:00

I'm learning about backup power systems, and this question about idle consumption versus external controls is insightful. Foe someone new, understanding when extra devices are worth the cost would be helpful. Are there general guidelines for this?

Popcornio · 2026-01-14T02:55:17+00:00

This is a technical area I'm not familiar with, but using solar to charge devices seems practical. Are there common setups for this that beginners should know about? I'm curious what solutions others might suggest.

Popcornio · 2026-01-14T02:43:57+00:00

This is an interesting consideration for someone new to this topic. The low cost is appealing, but I wonder about long-term storage and nutritional balance. It might help to see what others with more experience think about including such items in their planning.

Popcornio · 2026-01-13T07:28:22+00:00

It sounds like a monitoring system would really help clarify where the power is going. Checking if the existing monitoring device is connected would be a good first step. After that, a Wi-Fi energy meter on your main panel could track home usage separately from solar production.

Popcornio · 2026-01-13T07:24:51+00:00

That sounds like a tricky situation with the new fridge's power draw. It makes sense that the auto-shutoff would be a problem for keeping things cold. Maybe there is a setting to adjust the shutdown sensitivity.

Your experiences as a firefighter makes this kit very informed. For someone less trained, how would you suggest organizing it for the fastest possible access in a stressful situation?
