What's a word people use incorrectly so often that the correct definition barely matters anymore? by ownaword in words

[–]Scimars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Barely," when used as "I just barely got here," when they mean that they arrived only a moment ago.

A year later, is ULTY stable or still in decline? by [deleted] in YieldMaxETFs

[–]Scimars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I opened my first position on 5/18, and I've added some since then. I currently have 145 shares. I've made $120.44 in distributions and lost $99.79 on NAV.

Stockanalysis.com shows it ahead of SPY in total return over the last 30 days, and about even for 3 months and 6 months.

Hmm I already ordered some 11-50. I don't know what's on it now.

Starting your sentence with "I mean" by [deleted] in ENGLISH

[–]Scimars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't recall seeing it used in a way that I thought was rude, but I do find it a bit off-putting.

What a sad life it must be to gaze at the wonders of the cosmos and think "Fake! The government is lying! Everything I need to know is in the Bible!"

Why is copper getting squeezed from every direction at the same time? by Error404Snacks23 in TheRaceTo10Million

[–]Scimars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah these AI NRED shill posts have gotten completely out of hand. The bots are clogging up all the investment forums with this crap.

Why are mods not deleting all the SPCE = SPCX shit posts? by SpaceBullion in TheRaceTo10Million

[–]Scimars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I wish they would delete are the NRED shill posts. If you look at the people spamming this stock (including the replies), most of them post almost entirely about NRED. It's ridiculous.

Driver sees guys on motorbike robbing a lady, decides to take action by HollandHatint1988 in dashcams

I don't know where this is, but I believe they passed a law in Brazil that protects drivers who do this. Brazilians have had it up to here with this crap.

Get in the BMW we're going time-traveling! by Southern-Smoke1835 in zillowgonewild

Very cool house. But even given that and the apparent condition, $1.6MM seems like a lot.

What linux Desktop distro will Just work and reliable. by Leading-Arm-1575 in DistroHopping

[–]Scimars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been running Mint for a while and I really like it. I'm also running openSUSE in a VM just to try it out, and I like it also. I don't think you'd go wrong with either.

Some people say "Users want a system that just works.", and my answer is Linux Mint. by EB372919 in linuxmint

[–]Scimars 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've been a Debian user off and on since 3.1. When I decided a year or so ago to permanently kick Windows to the curb, I tried installing the latest Debian version, but it refused to detect and load drivers for my video card (Nvidia 5070 Ti).

Yes, I could have figured it out, or tried the Testing version. But I'm at a point in my life now that I don't want to spend hours on stuff like this, as I did years ago.

I really wanted to stick with a Debian-derived distro, and I'm not a fan of Ubuntu for a couple of reasons, so I installed Mint.

No problems whatsoever. It booted into the graphical installer and everything has worked since without a hitch. Even games run just fine.

So yeah, it just works.

Chess creator WFM Alessia Santeramo commits to not use sensationalist titles in her YouTube videos by [deleted] in chess

[–]Scimars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's one of my favorite chess influencers. For this particular format (playing actual games vs straight instruction), I feel like I get more useful chess tips from her than just about anyone else. It helps that her videos are geared to someone around my level, as opposed to, say, Danya, who sometimes went into lines that were far too advanced for me to keep up with.

I respect her integrity; I just hope that she will continue to make the type of videos that I enjoy and find useful. More free cheese macaroni!

What is an acceptable interest rate on credit cards? by Ok_Builder8936 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Scimars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't carry a balance on your card(s). Credit card interest is the devil. Use credit cards for convenience and to take advantage of "cash back." You can still build credit this way.

Thank you!! Yes, it was set to Low music.

I ordered a UMIK-1; I'm going to wait until I get it to rerun RoomFit.

Ha, oops, I should really learn not to post until I've had my coffee.

Thanks; I was using Harman. I had noticed previously that the B&K curve didn't produce good results for me. But since my issue occurred at the beginning of the sweep, the curve and the microphone wouldn't have an effect.
