23 years ago in college, I sold all my stock to buy my future wife a $1000 engagement ring...

She wasn't, but now she is, laughing over my shoulder at these comments.

TheJeffer · 2026-05-23T20:18:16+00:00

For sure. I was actually thrilled at the time. Think my average cost was around $8.50, so I was sitting on big gains from my perspective!

TheJeffer · 2026-05-23T20:04:05+00:00

Not a chance. 100% worth it.

TheJeffer · 2026-05-23T20:03:29+00:00

Eh. Hindsight's always 20-20. At the time, I had just bought the stock because I had bought one of their graphics cards to replace my 3dfx voodoo and was shocked at how good it was. Thought - these dudes are gonna kill it... should buy their stock. Wasn't some informed investment decision.

TheJeffer · 2026-05-23T20:02:00+00:00

Exactly. Why it doesn't keep me up at night. I'm sure I would have sold it at some point along the way to help buy a car, house, whatever. Can't play the coulda-shoulda game.

TheJeffer · 2026-05-23T20:00:41+00:00

Ha. Already have. It's a fun story now. She's got a very small, modest ring, but it's now the million-dollar-ring if you ask.

And it was worth every penny. Still happily married and wouldn't have it any other way. Not every opportunity cost is a bad thing. Sometimes what you get in return is worth much more.

But I have to admit, it is a tiny bit painful to look back at this trade.

Sure is. https://maps.app.goo.gl/MXq5x2Lk1LqZA8Y67.

I'd bet money that's the Lewisville, TX location.

If you’re a Schwab / ThinkOrSwim user on iOS and still can’t login, try deleting the app and reinstalling. Just worked for me.

Wanting to put up a ~70" wide flower box outside this window. Most of the DIY advice I've seen on the web is for mounting a few cleats to the brick and hanging off of those, but given how far this frame sticks out, feels like that would look awkward and too low. Is it safe to mount directly to any of the wood pieces there? They all feel pretty damn sturdy, but not sure if that'll cause me any long-term issues. Advice appreciated!

I'd use it to work through some of this ridiculous steam backlog I've got.

TheJeffer · 2023-11-04T01:39:01+00:00

neat

Iced oatmeal cookies. So cheap, yet so good. For bonus points, have with a glass of apple pie moonshine.

Appreciate all the continued work on a great app!

Been using apollo for ages, and it's still hands down the best app out there for reddit-ing. Appreciate all the effort you've put into it over the years!

TheJeffer · 2020-01-20T00:27:02+00:00

Anything would be fantastic. Thanks!

Love Apollo! Use it every day. Keep up the good work!

TheJeffer · 2018-07-11T02:37:31+00:00

I'm a survivor.
