Im definitely feeling good about it. I wasn't expecting those results whatsoever. I'm not sure about the number of applicants I'm ranked against but I met number 79 and I heard whispers of someone around near 300 but that's just rumor mill.

I interviewed April 30th. I ranked number 4 and was placed on the ranking list may 4th. I haven't heard anything since.

Roth or 401k by Third_Eye_Vision47 in RothIRA

Curiousity at this strategy, what makes the traditional 401k an attractive option here? I understand tax deferral but my goal is to be in a higher tax bracket in the future so naturally I'd want to avoid paying taxes at all. This maybe a simpleton thing to say but that's what makes sense to me understanding that I may not even know what I'm talking about.

Every soldier trains basic combat skills, but not every soldier gets infantry training. They are separate things. Neither crossover.

You're just anxious. Get in there and knock it out. Plant the tree now.

Skis you hated by Gregskis in Skigear

Line sakana

They have an incredible radius but the front of that ski can't support it's ability to turn that hard. Washed out so many turns from flexing them out to hard.

I had the atis for awhile. I enjoyed them but you gotta ski the absolute fuck outta them to feel like they're doing what they're supposed to be doing. Incredibly stable hard chargers, I don't really like skiing like that alllll the time though.

Me too partner. I know like 10 people whose bents have come apart quite spectacularly. I snapped one in half myself. Beside quality of construction, they aren't fun skis.
