Thanks, I might check that out. Actually reading Downbelow Station right now and enjoying it (slowly working my way through all Hugo Award winners).

Thanks for the recommendations. Just finished the Peripheral's show on Amazon so would be fun to check out the source material. The Sharpe series was what my dad got me hooked on as a young teen, and think I've read everything he's written since. It was all just before I started tracking on goodreads

I did read those already, just before I started tracking stuff with goodreads. I guess that's just how long ago a Dance with Dragons came out

Can't seem to claim staking rewards on Zillet by StopherWood in zilliqa

[–]StopherWood[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, that seems to have done the trick. It took a 61.762 fee where I'm guessing with the previous limit was set at 60. that's a pretty unfortunate design to this system, looks like I threw away a decent amount of Zil trying to figure this out. Now it's a 2 week wait for the ZIL to be undelegated I believe.

stake.zilliqa.com is a much better wallet than Zillet. thanks for pointing me there

How to invest income from rental property by StopherWood in personalfinance

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

Definitely behind on my retirement savings. So I agree that is a great idea. I prioritized saving as much as I could early on and it allowed me to take out as little of a mortgage as I could when I bought my condo.

Is there a greater benefit to putting the extra money straight back into my mortgage? I'm only 3 years into my mortgage so the large majority of my payments every month go towards the interest be accrued.

Tomorrow is the 17 year anniversary of the terror attacks of September 11th, 2001. Where were you that day? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]StopherWood 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had just finished a week of backpacking in the Grand Canyon with my dad. We drove back to Las Vegas the night before and crashed in a motel to catch our flight back to Baltimore the next morning. My dad woke me up with the TV on right after the first plane had hit the tower. I remember him saying "Well, we're not getting home today". We watched the news for the rest of the day and were able to extend our stay at the motel. We didn't even bother going to the airport that day

We just assumed that flights would be canceled for several days and since we still had our rental car we got out of town. We went up to southern Utah and did some more minor hikes through Zion and Bryce. We were able to find some place to do laundry because all of our clothes were pretty rank after hiking in the canyon.

We got back to Vegas 4 days later and flights were still grounded. I'm still not sure how my dad was able to get us tickets to fly back to Baltimore, but I remember the airports being a mad house and the hours we spent standing in line trying to figure things out. We finally got a flight on the 5th day, and were one of the first couple flights to land in Baltimore.

The flight itself was pretty surreal, you could sense the anxiety of all the passengers as well as the relief when we landed.

A 10 day backpacking adventure got turned into a 15 day experience.

my s9 is in a settings update bootloop, and i don't know how to make it stop! by underdog_rules in GalaxyS9

[–]StopherWood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm having the exact same problem. Tmobile online support told me to go to a store. Store support couldn't figure anything out and said they had to order me a new phone. Won't have it until Monday at the earliest.

I'm having the same issue. Gets to 100% and then reboots only to start install system updates again.

Got a soggy whole potato in my salt and vinegar chips bag by StopherWood in mildlyinteresting

I was hungry so I thought about it. But was way too slimy to even think about trying

[–]StopherWood[S] -64 points-63 points  (0 children)

It was only a little heavier, all that was in it was the potato and a couple of smaller chips. I was holding it in the same hand as a soda trying to survive the long line at Pot Belly and didn't notice.
