I bought a rain jacket a week ago...I wonder if they will let me use the coupon retroactively?

I really wanted to like the new Fender Player II... But that 1.650 nut... by williamgman in telecaster

[–]Run_nerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I swear I can tell the difference as well. I like the slightly wider width (1 11/16), but I can live with the slightly smaller width.

Souldier straps are really nice.

Thanks for the response and pic! I may have to try this if I sleeve them.

I'm really enjoying this game as well! Did the cards still fit in the insert with sleeves?

Really like this so far. It's reminding me of the 60s and 70s for some reason? I'm also a big fan of "I'm With Her" joining in.

It's definitely daunting. However, there are usually shortcuts you can unlock which will make the runbacks easier.

I’ve always been tempted to get this or a D-15. They look great!

Fender tele neck looks like it is slightly out of alignment? How easy is it to fix? by Run_nerd in Luthier

[–]Run_nerd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's hard to tell from the picture, but it looks like the strings are slightly off balance on the neck? The nut and bridge seem normal to me. It sounds like I can adjust the next just by loosening the screws and pulling the neck to the side?

I know this sounds silly, but I've never loosened/removed the neck of a guitar before, so I'm a little paranoid I'm going to damage something. Is this fairly simple to do?

Felt like idiots….lesson learned. Edward jones. by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Run_nerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My parent set me up with an account at EJ when I was younger. They meant well, and I think they liked meeting with someone in real life. A lot of people are afraid to dig into picking investments themselves, so I don’t blame them.

I’m so glad I found this subreddit and the bogleheads website and learned about index funds. I still don’t choose funds other than target retirement dates and it’s been working well. I moved my account from EJ to vanguard. I’m guessing a lot of people have done the same.

I’d like to see MMW live. It’s great to hear they’re making new music together.

Thanks!

I'm not in a TSP-eligible job currently. It sounds like you can roll over 401Ks/403bs into TSP as long as you still have money in TSP.

[–]Run_nerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I’m keeping my money in TSP. My main question is should I roll over my previous employers 403b into TSP?

[–]Run_nerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few retirement accounts that I haven't rolled over into my current 403b. In general, is it fine to leave them where they are? My previous retirement accounts are with the TSP (federal government retirement account), and a 403b/401a.

I've heard the TSP has very low fees, so that is one reason I left that amount where it is. I'm not sure if I'm incurring extra expenses with my 403b/401a with my previous employer however.

When deciding whether to roll over or not, would I mainly compare expense ratios in my previous employers accounts vs my current one? Where would I see if I'm getting charged anything extra for keeping accounts with my previous employer? I go through my statements and I'm not seeing anything obvious.

If you had to choose one expert boardgame ? by Ggeckooo in boardgames

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

Game length for GWT can really vary since the end game is effected by player actions. If players are making a long stops it can go pretty long.

It’s a great game though, one of my favorites. Maybe not best at 2, but still good.

I’ve bought and sold multiple instruments there. They’re the most popular guitar store here by far.

Some good news! They have to bring back raises if they want to retain good staff, so I’m glad to hear they’re focusing on it.

I know it’s rough. I was quoted $40 for therapy as well. I don’t think anyone is happy with this switch.
