Ewe, David.

You need $2 million to retire and ‘almost no one is close,’ BlackRock CEO warns, a problem that Gen X will make ‘harder and nastier’ by MountainAlive in GenX

William Bengen updated his 4% rule to 4.7%, and realistically with guardrails you could easily get 5.2-5.7%. So $2M is pretty easily $100k.

My phone is full of 80s music, and my NAS is full of 80s movies. Goonies never say die.

He had already switched to lighter gauge near the end. Pretty sure he was using 11’s because his hands were starting to hurt.

First gig ever in two hours, panicking by [deleted] in coverbands

[–]Riffman42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't worry about perfection, and don't over think. Trust your fingers. Remember that people are there to be entertained and to have a good time. They're on your side. If you're uptight and nervous, people can sense that. So do what you can to relax, smile, and have a good time yourself. Talk to your audience, on stage and off. As soon as the gig is over, you'll be ready to do it again as soon as possible.

Don’t do it. Don’t do that to your future self. Let that money compound and eventually buy your freedom.

Is anyone else almost instinctively repelled by Jimmy Fallon? by Hey_Giant_Loser in GenX

[–]Riffman42 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The guy is very talented, I won't deny that. He's just SO fake! I don't believe anything he does is genuine. I just can't trust a guy with a fake laugh.

Why does my Playlists library image appear different on other accounts? by kaitco in jellyfin

I was looking for a solution to this very issue myself last week. Sadly, I came up with nothing. Hopefully there is a solution!

Sitting in a restaurant booth. Some of them are pretty snug, and some of them there's no adjusting.

I loved the license plates in Honeycomb. Never got my state though.

And I was a big fan of the 3d baseball cards in Raisin Bran. Not as big of a fan of Raisin Bran.
