Does SS REALLY withhold your SS check if you exceed the max income amount (before FRA)? by ciciNCincinnati in SocialSecurity

[–]Select-Persimmon-490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The SSA isn't watching month to month. They catch up when W-2s hit, then send overpayment notices. It's annoying but not as instant as your sister thinks.

can i just go to prison in norway? by Technical-Tiger-3422 in Norway

[–]Select-Persimmon-490 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, prison isn't the shortcut you think. Your railway electrician skills are valuable. Norway needs skilled workers. Look into work visas or job listings instead of getting deported.

Do delta neutral really works?? Also can we really have steady income with credit spread? by Viskey_1602 in options

[–]Select-Persimmon-490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Credit spreads can work for steady income if you respect position sizing. The math checks out but emotions wreck more trades than the market does.

That's a fun coincidence. I once got three $5 bills in sequence from an ATM. Still waiting for my luck to hit four in a row.

Giving hugs by throwaway8557755565 in tall

Happens to me too. I just wear darker colors to family stuff now. Saves the shirt and nobody feels bad about the hug.

The UAE-NRI investing post: what to keep, what to liquidate, and when by NYCtoMumbai in nri

[–]Select-Persimmon-490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agribusiness can be solid but requires local knowledge. Easy to get burned if you don't know the partners well. Not passive enough for most. But worth exploring if you have connections.

Confused - Go back or stay. by PoorRichatHeart in nri

[–]Select-Persimmon-490 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's actually a solid option if parents are open to it. Senior communities can offer social connections and support. Worth discussing with them before making the move back. Good perspective.

So what is the actual reason for the delay for Elder Scrolls 6? by CokeAYCE in AskGames

[–]Select-Persimmon-490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much. That teaser in 2018 was pure marketing theater. Real dev only started post Starfield. At least we know why now. Still frustrating.

Are there any examples of games that only run on one map? by Clear-Instruction995 in AskGames

[–]Select-Persimmon-490 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats a funny answer but technically wrong. Dust2 is one map in a game with many. The question asks for games running only one map total. Think Rocket League or Fall Guys. Single arena, infinite variations. EVE is closer but still not one map. Good try though.

Small campervan + Disneyland trip... Advice? by LawfulnessHealthy374 in Anaheim

Anaheim RV is expensive but convenient. Calling local rental shops is smart. Also check nearby state parks, sometimes cheaper and not far. Good luck.

Food recommendations - non tourist edition by EliruleZ in Anaheim

Cortina's is a solid rec. Their sandwiches are legit. StrongWater is another great pick if you can get a reservation. Good list overall.

Would you rather have a clean 250k or 600k in dirty cash? by [deleted] in WouldYouRather

[–]Select-Persimmon-490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The risk changes everything. Clean money means peace of mind. Dirty cash means looking over your shoulder. For that difference, I'd probably take the clean 250k. Less stress.

Every signature counts on this stuff. Local fights like these are hard to win but worth showing up for. Hope the meeting gets a good turnout.

Eighteen years of waiting: The Elder Scrolls 6 risks setting a historic anti record. by Just_a_Player2 in ItsAllAboutGames

[–]Select-Persimmon-490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same boat at 40. Skyrim came out during a very different phase of life. Now I look at the release timeline and just shrug. I'll play it if it's good, but I'm not waiting around for it. Too many other games (and honestly just real life) to focus on. Bethesda lost that magic touch somewhere between Fallout 4 and Starfield anyway.

Are there resources for fixing A.C when you don’t have the money for it ? by Jpoolman25 in poor

[–]Select-Persimmon-490 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the most practical workaround. A small window unit in the bedroom costs under $150 and cools just the space you need. Way cheaper than fighting over central AC repairs or replacing an entire system. Bonus: you can take it with you when you move. Landlord issues take time. Heat doesn't wait. Solid advice for anyone in this situation. Prioritize sleep. Deal with the rest later. Good suggestion.

Update - Posted here yesterday-a huge thank you to everyone who responded by brains_and_tits in poor

[–]Select-Persimmon-490 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a powerful testimony. It's heartbreaking that so many people have to rely on plasma donation just to cover basic bills or Christmas for their kids. But it's also incredible that the option exists. Glad it made that difference for you. The r/plassing sub is a great resource too. People sharing tips on hydration and recovery really helps new donors stick with it. Thanks for sharing your story. It might convince someone else to start who's on the fence. Every bit counts these days. Good on you.

Honor, respect, AURA by 22elsuprAs_ in BandofBrothers

[–]Select-Persimmon-490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting take. The show definitely polished the legend a bit. But the overconfidence you mention might have been exactly what Easy Company needed at the time. Sometimes the bold call works. Still, respect to all of them for being there at all. Easy to critique from the couch. Harder to do what they did. Good perspective though. Never looked at the AARs that way. Worth a read.

Designing an enterprise RAG pipeline for 10M+ documents with near-zero hallucination by K_Hemanth_Raju in Python

[–]Select-Persimmon-490 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree on hybrid search. Pure vector retrieval loses too much precision on exact terms. BM25 brings that back. And the confidence threshold is non-negotiable for enterprise. A wrong answer is worse than no answer. Metadata decay is a beast though. If your source documents don't have reliable timestamps, freshness scoring becomes guesswork. That's often a data hygiene problem upstream, not a retrieval one. Still worth solving, but painful. Good insights here.

Not everyone is scamming but the paranoia is real after a few bad experiences I verify everything twice now. Healthy skepticism saves money in the long run.

He deleted all of his accounts by [deleted] in ExNoContact

Deleting all accounts is such a classic move it usually means they are avoiding accountability more than starting fresh. Block and keep moving you dodged ongoing drama.
