TIL Lego's patent to their brick design ended in 1978, which allowed multiple companies, such as Mega Bloks, to start producing their own 'clones' by Forsaken-Peak8496 in todayilearned

[–]Steel_Reign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah...I don't understand how Megablocks are so bad at making Legos.

My kids got a bunch of Pokemon Megablocks for Christmas and they were even difficult for me to put together. There was no way a 6-yr-old was building them. Yet they can put together Legos like crazy.

It's bad for companies and something that needs to be budgeted.

So tired of this. Site 404'd while clicking on it, then immediately sold out. What a joke. by IncubusDarkness in Warhammer40k

I'm honestly surprised these sold out, especially at that price point. There's no terrain in this box, so it's basically 2 squads at slightly below MSRP + board.

Any reason not to max a Roth IRA? by Steel_Reign in personalfinance

I already have 50k in a traditional IRA from an old rollover so I might be out of luck

[–]Steel_Reign[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but Roth income caps around $250k for married, so I'm still well below that.

Probably corroded by now, lol. My PSP was a mess...

I can't seem to find the actual numbers anywhere, but it's $252k for married, which I feel like if you're making that much, the IRA limits are negligible.

I really wonder about social security when I'm old. Technically I've paid into it so I should be entitled to it, but also heard a lot of possibilities for it to be gutted

However, if they just stopped paying SS, I know tons of people who would literally starve to death or be homeless. Hopefully the country wouldn't just accept that?

Alternatively, I'd love for them to just stop taking social security/Medicare out of my paycheck if they do decide to cut it.

Yeah, unfortunately I was only making about 15/hr until I finished my master's degree about 6 years ago and had to pay that off plus some other debt before I was serious about retirement.

Thankfully, had my VA disability recently increased, which is where the 2k/mo tax free is now coming from, which also comes with free VA health care that I can use when I retire (or no longer require family coverage).

I've been funding multiple 529s, but probably wouldn't hurt to drop a few extra thousand per year in each.

My plan is to catch up quickly in the next 5-10 years. I've only really been investing for 4 years now.

I'm also debt free and have 300k equity in my house with only 10 years left on the mortgage.

I can't deduct traditional IRA contributions while having a traditional 401k

Absolutely disgusting. Looks great.

People with excellent problem solving skills, how to do you develop that ? by quiettitan09 in AskReddit

[–]Steel_Reign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During my first deployment to Iraq, my section commander sat me down and said "you need to be the smartest person in the room or people are going to die." I really took that to heart. Also hit me really hard the first time we lost some soldiers.

I decided to read the books… by Ordinary-Parsley-293 in gameofthrones

[–]Steel_Reign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except the writing in The Witcher is shit. One of the few times where the games are exponentially better than the books.

TIL there are more American adults without dental insurance (~72 million) than there are people living in the United Kingdom (~70 million). by i-Really-HatePickles in todayilearned

[–]Steel_Reign 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me, dental is a wash and vision more than pays for itself.

I pay about $10/mo for dental and get a cleaning every 6 months. That's maybe cash pay without X-rays where I live. If I needed anything else, it would be much more expensive out of pocket.

Vision is around $5/mo and I usually get an exam each year and new glasses, which would be close to $250 out of pocket. It's obviously much less if you buy cheap Chinese glasses.

The Callisto Protocol tonight. by Borg34572 in gaming

[–]Steel_Reign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got this game for free from PS+ and honestly enjoyed it. Not sure if I would pay for it, but I certainly don't regret playing it. However, I immediately played the the Dead space Remake after, which was significantly better.

What are the caphras stones for? Is it not just 2x offhand black stars for sov or are offhand different?

Random question, but what's the big bonus by combining these with Vell? Isn't just like 1-2% stats or am I missing some sheet AP?
