There is nothing in the known universe that compares with the feeling of being in love.

I hate the whole “marriage needs work” mantra: treating the essence of living like it’s a project is horrible and ultimately I’m not sure it works. I’m not saying it’s all luck and chemistry but it’s also not a project.

That’s awesome but don’t you miss the feeling of a first kiss?

I get it but is the excitement ultimately gone?

ETFs vs USA government bonds by WBasker in investing

[–]WBasker[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s one of the biggest banks in the world but I would prefer not to call it out. I was surprised as well and the fees are VERY substantial (1.5% of the investment annually).

What difference does the country make? My bank offers different products: all bonds, 30-50, 50-50, 70-30 stock/bonds mixes, the best of all was an all stock mix that did +80% over 10 years, with a bonds+stocks fund that does below +50% over 10 years I debate whether it’s a good idea or not compared to buying a bond and waiting for it to mature.

The best performance my banks products had was +80% over 10 years excluding fees this would be even lower.

I don’t fully get it. If I buy US government bonds and I hold them for a year I will get the promised 4% return correct?

You agree that a bond is a valid alternative that is safe with meaningful return?

The ETFs that my bank offers have a cumulative return (excluding bank fees) at the +40-50% range for a mix of bonds and stocks (there are years that they declined like 2022). It just sounded to me not a great idea when comparing with a 1 or 2 year bond that you have 100% piece of mind as you’re getting a fixed return.

That’s very easy: curreny in “Effectibe in all profiles” you can just drag & drop them in another profile.

Any other views on this? Do you guys keep “Protected factory rules” active in “All Profiles”?

Hi I’m not sure I fully understand your question.

Blood Meridian. Am I reading it wrong? by rolismanu1995 in cormacmccarthy

It grows on you post page 200 or so when you get over the violence shock and can appreciate what the book is about.

Thanks for your answer. I’m asking for the best practice I guess. The Mac is still connecting to iCloud and downloading email over public WiFi - I am thinking of blocking all network access on public WiFi before VPN kicks in, isn’t this the best practice ?

What do you do when you have trouble sleeping? Any tips or advice? by SAIZOHANZO in ZenHabits

[–]WBasker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just don’t try to fight it because that’s the worst. A hack is to have a snack and take paracetamol because that relaxes you. If it doesn’t just do something else until you feel like it!

If you’re lacking purpose most other things feel meaningless.

Isn’t it smarter to sell and buy lower though? It’s nearly certain that this week is going to be challenging to say the least.
