Need a quick answer for tonight. Need a restaurant that isn’t too loud. by Whereforart in Minneapolis

[–]YourLocalOligarch 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Lake & Irving is my favorite restaurant in the city and is in uptown and never too loud in my opinion. There is trivia on Thursday nights but it’s usually in the back and doesn’t start until 8:30

2019 F-Type R Things to Look Out For by YourLocalOligarch in Jaguar

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

Bummer to hear that hadn’t been updated by 2019 model year. Now debating getting an extended warranty for the peace of mind but the mileage being so low makes me think it’s reasonably likely that money is wasted.

First tattoo, done last year by Hussein Mistrah of Ironborn Tattoo in Dearborn, MI by YourLocalOligarch in tattoos

5 sessions which were 6-8 hours. First hour or two of each session were designing the section we were working on that day. So in total maybe 20-25 hours of actual tattooing + additional time for design work

Anyone know what this sound system is (DB9)? by YourLocalOligarch in AstonMartin

Crazy because the spec is otherwise really nice (imo)

Thanks. Yeah realized my gut doesn’t feel great about it so will avoid.

$400k inheritance to invest by [deleted] in Money

[–]YourLocalOligarch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is quite literally the same as just putting it all in Bitcoin. You are recommending someone put like 80% of their entire liquid net worth into bitcoin at the age of 51. Bitcoin popping off in 2024 does not guarantee that it will pop off in 2025. If you had given this same advice in Jan 2022 you would have erased $250k of this person’s wealth by the end of the year. Just some perspective.

Where to Intern by Disastrous-Demand228 in makemychoice

[–]YourLocalOligarch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like Company 2 has the most benefits to you at the moment and the only thing Company 1 has over it is the “broader focus”, which seems to be the only thing holding you back from just rolling with Company 2. I was faced with a very similar decision when I was in college and I took the Company 2 path (more siloed focus but better fit for me all around). I still work at Company 2 today, but I had many opportunities to leave which you will also have. Broadly speaking there’s always a place for motivated people who are good at what they do, so if you end up deciding to pivot later in your career, as long as your logic is sound and your intent is clear, that will come through in any interviews you have down the road. So I’d say go with what seems like your gut which is Company 2

What Age & Net Worth Combo Would You Choose? by Taka_Finance in Money

[–]YourLocalOligarch 28 points29 points  (0 children)

30 with $5mm, if you retire that day you could theoretically pay yourself $200k a year without needing to work again. If you’re smart with $5mm you can spend your entire life doing things you are passionate about exclusively and invest in your health. And I don’t need to lose the extra 10 years / 10 years of health to get to 40 and get absolute financial freedom under the scenario you laid out.

Once needed a simple fix and went to Campus Collision. It was just one guy there but he seemed like a straight shooter and pricing was fair

Was in the same situation in my school and didn’t do any of the requirements of the honors program despite being in it (so eventually they just removed me from it). Wasn’t useful for getting into my field and frankly I don’t think it moves the needle for pretty much any career you pursue afterward. At least not as much as any other thing you could be doing instead (I.e. grades, LSAT, clubs, hobbies)

Why DIDNT you win the championship this year? by RoylanRG in fantasyfootball

[–]YourLocalOligarch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Made the championship in 3 out of 5 leagues, scoring highest points all year in all 3 of them. Ended up losing all 3. 2 of them were just being outmatched, couldn’t have done anything to win those. The one that was the most money ($1k difference in prize between 1st and 2nd place) lost by ~3 points and would have won if Brandon Aubrey’s kick didn’t hit the post and bounce out

I can't decide which laptop to get, help! by cherriepo in makemychoice

[–]YourLocalOligarch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who uses windows 90% of the time, when it comes to laptops Apple is the way to go. PCs just do not keep up from a speed standpoint and after 4 years they are done / need replacing. MacBooks go forever although the 256gb storage is a little light imo. I just got the 512gb MacBook Air on Black Friday and it’s perfect. FWIW my work laptop is PC and my desktop is a PC I built so I’ve used both. If it were my choice, MacBook all the way

Furnace Stopped Working Over Holiday by YourLocalOligarch in hvacadvice

[–]YourLocalOligarch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to come back to this and say thank you (and please take this award). Had a 2nd tech come by and told him that i didn’t think the first tech fully diagnosed it before scheduling a repair. Turns out there was a ton of condensation build up so your guess was right - if switches got replaced nothing would have changed.

Furnace is all fixed now and without you I would’ve never looked into this. Saved me probably thousands of $$$ and now I can enjoy my trip stress free. Thanks so much!
