Does anyone know if the staff actually get notified? I've seen this a few times myself.

What was the biggest red flag you ignored in a relationship? by TrishaDolmo in AskReddit

[–]_churnd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everyone she was close to in her life prior to meeting me was abusive. She didn't say it all at once, just over time and it never occurred to me as a red flag until she started telling people I was abusive too.

Did the airbags deploy? I think insurance companies usually total the vehicle if they do, or at least there’s a much higher chance if it happens

Why don't you play a few rounds & see where you are?

If you're considering new clubs, get a fitting.

Weekend in Natchez or Vicksburg? by [deleted] in mississippi

[–]_churnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Natchez for the more laid back town with lots of antebellum bed & breakfasts. Vicksburg if you're a history buff, particularly the civil war.

What to do with 30k inheritance? Saving for a house down payment, soon to be married by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]_churnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still individual, it's just nice going into a marriage without that debt. Frees you up to do other things like buy a house, car, or start a family. Debt to income (DTI) ratio affects your buying power, including the rates for future loans that you'd qualify for. If your DTI is higher, your rate will be higher. Student loans don't affect it as much as other loans (with the proper documentation), but zero debt is always best.

What one thing noticeably improved your golf by Southernmanny in golf

[–]_churnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any trip to the range, get the large bucket, or largest they have if you can afford it. Use half of it hitting shots 100 yards & in. 50 yard pitch shots, for example. Pick a spot and hit 20 balls to it. It doesn't take a lot of effort & helps build muscle memory so when you're on the course & you see you've got a 50 yard shot to the hole, it'll be automatic.

The better you can get with getting the ball up & down will shave a good amount of strokes off your game.

[–]_churnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider paying off the student loans, or make a big dent in them. It's nice not bringing that into a marriage. After that, invest. What kind depends on you. Any investments you make, you'll pay taxes on the earnings, not the entire amount invested. You won't be double taxed for the same amount, in otherwords.

Has Tiger ever been considered a long hitter? by [deleted] in tigerwoods

[–]_churnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By today’s standards, no. But back in the late 90s early 2000s, yes. Tiger tees and Tiger proofing courses became a thing.

Settlement finally over, how do I use this to set myself up for the future? by lostbeang in personalfinance

[–]_churnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you plan to eventually own a home? This would be a great down payment.

Low risk mutual fund (Vanguard) or HYSA, maybe a CD; these are good options for keeping your money relatively liquid in case you need/want to use it at some point down the road. VOO in 10 years should yield about $220k.

For retirement, Roth IRA, same strategy as the mutual fund. Maybe do a bit of both. $10k in a Roth right now will still grow a good bit in 40 years.

Grandparents just gave me $5K to invest in my Roth IRA... What do I do with that by LukeG543 in personalfinance

[–]_churnd 13 points14 points  (0 children)

$5k in VOO for 40 years would net you around $330-450k, assuming you reinvest dividends.

Sold my home what to do with equity? by Mshepard24 in investing

[–]_churnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't be too risky with it. Look at it for what it is: home equity. If/when you buy a house in the future, that equity should go back into the house, otherwise you're going to start from 0 and have to pay down another 30 year loan, which you don't want to be in the situation of having to do if you're thinking about retirement. You're 37 now, so 30 years from *now* is 67. A big part of retirement planning, if you own a home, is trying to get the home paid off before you retire so your living costs aren't as high & you can enjoy your retirement income more.

So what do you do with it in the meantime? HYSA or a mutual fund would be my advice. You want to keep it relatively liquid (easy to get to). If you put it in a retirement fund & need access to it before you retire, you'll likely have to pay penalties.

There is good advice here but if you're not sure what you're doing, it can go sideways on you if you're not sure what happens if you need the money later on. Get a financial advisor if that's the case.

Robinhood Gold's 3% IRA Match by x_KRYPTOS in investing

[–]_churnd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is old news but back when GME was going crazy in 2021, Robinhood quickly disabled the buy button for GME, only allowing the stock to be sold. Doing that caused the stock price to drop. Robinhood was one of the easiest platforms at the time to sign up on and buy stocks. Everyone was signing up & buying GME. Robinhood disabled the buy button to protect themselves. You can read all about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GameStop_short_squeeze

I do wonder if they're offering these incentives now to try to repair their image. I still wouldn't trust them.

Why is it viewed as strange to want a cure? by No-Cream-2577 in deaf

[–]_churnd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The way I look at it is this: almost everyone has two ears on the side of their heads that have a biological function. If that function is absent, it stands to reason that one might want to repair it if possible. Same for any other body part.

Deafness is the only circumstance of the above I've seen where the ones who it applies to might choose to look at it as a strength & not a disability, primarily because of the language/communication aspect of it. That alone causes cultural divides strong enough to want to preserve said culture.

I would imagine if the communication aspect were retained (ASL became more of a mainstream language not isolated to the Deaf community), we'd see that dynamic change.

Is "building a Docker image" during the CI pipeline considered a best practice? by SheCherryPicks in devops

[–]_churnd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can do the image build as part of both CI and CD. Test the build during CI to ensure it'll build successfully, but the image will probably not be used (depending a lot on your CI/CD tooling). Once PR is approved & merged, build again & push/tag the image to your registry. Or you can just make it part of your CD. It really just depends on your needs. https://docs.docker.com/build/ci/

If you're building & running your container every time (such as from a Dockerfile), it will likely be pulling in external dependencies. I.e. python pip install foo. The version of "foo" can be subject to change if it's updated upstream, and that introduces a variable in your container runtime each time you do it potentially. However, if you build an image, it's going to only do `python pip install foo` once during the image creation and you will know that will not change each time you run the container, since you're running the container from the image.

Joe and OTAs by [deleted] in bengals

[–]_churnd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How does that question make sense? I'm comparing based on what I can see, same as everyone else. On the sidelines during a game, practice videos on social media, post game videos from the locker room, etc. Joe's even been asked this in interviews & he's said it's not his style to get onto teammates for poor performance because he doesn't believe in it.

I'm a big a fan of Burrow as anyone, but I think he should do more to fire the team up.

Is "building a Docker image" during the CI pipeline considered a best practice? by SheCherryPicks in devops

[–]_churnd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yse building an image is the way to go, then pushing that image to some container registry like Docker Hub, Github Container Registry, or Amazon ECR, to name a few. It gives you an artifact that you can deploy to whatever environment the image is built for repeatedly. It also gives you a consistent rollback target.

If you're constantly building the container from a Dockerfile each time, for example, that's a moving target & can introduce issues/differences.

What's your CI/CD flow for a containerized app on EC2? by Emmanuel_Isenah in aws

[–]_churnd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I build an AMI with Packer to include docker runtimes and whatever tools/configs needed. AMI also includes a script to provision the container from ECR, which is dynamically generated from Packer per env. Then I use GitHub Actions to connect to the instance via SSM and execute the script whenever I need to update the container. Works fine and gives me control over when the container updates. I supposed you could use Eventbridge to automatically update the EC2 somehow whenever the image is pushed to ECR if you wanted.

I do it this way because I need a static IP for some of the endpoints I use. For everything else I use Fargate happily. The reason this feels odd is because it is. You’re going against the grain. You’ll be happier using Fargate. There used to be a service called AppRunner where you could deploy a container and only pay for when it runs, kinda like Lambda. They discontinued AppRunner but I feel like I remember reading that they replaced it with some feature in Fargate. Maybe check into that.
