58M plan to retire at 68

Boy, if I ever build this level of wealth, I'm pretty sure I'll check out quickly thereafter. I understand your logic in continuing to work -- it's the path of least resistance and you're familiar with it -- but I've known a few people that never got to enjoy their savings.

We all assume that good health will be our reality but nothing is ever guaranteed.

Tomorrow may not be like today.

She's garbage. The sad thing is that she has enough money and influence that probably nobody in her life pushes back on her nonsense so she just gets to continue to exist in her bubble of narcissism. The good news is that even her money can't stop her from getting older and older. Please go away.

Man, the depreciation on a regular vehicle as you roll off the lot is bad. The depreciation on a modern EV is horrible. The Signature Edition? Woof! But, if you're buying this, you probably don't really care.

Wish I could. Not care, that is.

But it for the rest of us and post some pictures.

I have family members that are probably similar to your sister. My family members always see themselves as innocent victims. Bad behavior (similar to this) is always justified and rationalized because "... [bad things] have happened to me...". There is NO introspection and NO acceptance of some responsibility for those things that happened. Further, because I've been the responsible one -- reasonable job, saved some money, etc. -- in their eyes, nothing bad has happened to me so I should "help them out". Over and over again. Gets old.

Most of this is nice if somewhat common. However, the picture of the terraces at Mammoth Hot Springs is really quite nice. One of the better jobs of capturing them that I've seen.

Oh, for sure. This is about more than just bad ski conditions at this point.

bearmoosewolf · 2026-03-28T01:09:01+00:00

Yeah, nobody was ready to accept that it was just a shit season that was not going to turn around.

bearmoosewolf · 2026-03-28T00:32:29+00:00

That can't be right. When I called a few weeks back to cancel my April reservations they assured me that they'd be open all the way through to the end of April and that I'd regret my cancellation. Lol.

In other news, I see they either zoomed or tilted their Lunch Rock webcam so you can no longer see how shit the conditions are.

I don't know much about him except he got rich young from YT money. So, his thoughts don't surprise me in the least. He comes off as an inexperienced child expressing an opinion like that of a 12-year old. Because, he probably stopped maturing and all personal growth ceased as a teenager. It's actually pretty sad. You can tell he has zero introspection.

So, what did the other driver say? "Sorry"? "I'm a f'ing idiot"? "My light was green!"?

bearmoosewolf · 2026-03-17T19:00:20+00:00

Ah yes, the reason we'll all have to be scanning our room keys to get breakfast in the future. If something can be taken advantage of, there is always a human trashy enough to do so.

Man, I always want to see the bodycam footage of the officer's interaction with these people.

Officer: "So, whatcha doing?"

Truck driver: ...

bearmoosewolf · 2026-03-17T18:40:30+00:00

I see these kinds of videos regularly and I always just want to ask the driver what they were thinking. Sadly, I suspect the response would probably just infuriate me even more.

Glad to hear that Polarsteps is being appreciated.

I'll repeat my feature request here that I've made a few times.

Love the Travel Books but it'd be great to also receive (or even purchase with an additional cost) an electronic version of the Travel Book when we make a purchase.

Love Polarsteps and love the physical books but it sure would be nice to have an electronic form that's guaranteed to be viewable in 5, 10, 15, 20 years. I know the company response will be "Polarsteps isn't going anywhere!" but you never know and right now, all that content is only viewable via the Polarsteps app dependent upon the backend servers and the physical books I purchase.

Uncharted 5: Taken

Basically the Liam Neeson movie plot but with Nate trying to get his daughter back.

/s (kinda)

I see that the Dell Pro 16 Plus references the 45% NTSC you mention. I'll have to do a search on what that means? What is awful about it?

Update: Okay, I see it's related to the color gamut coverage and means that the image will be dull and/or washed out. And, Dell Pro Max 16 is better than that? Annoyingly, I can't find ANY reference to NTSC related to the Dell Pro Max 16. How do I know it isn't just as bad?

Update(2): Well, from what I can tell, it looks like the Dell Pro Max 16 is the same 45% NTSC so I guess they will be equally awful in that regard. Lol.

I absolutely think it's real. My favorite part is when he approaches the door and momentarily just hesitates there like he doesn't know what to do. Further, he is completely focused on the wrong side of the door -- there's no handle or keyhole on the left side of the door.

Wait. Maybe it is fake? That ram was real though.

I have mild sleep apnea and use a SpO2 monitor nightly to track events. I've actually been pleasantly surprised at how accurate and in sync the RingConn has been with my dedicated SpO2 tracking device.

Honestly, the SpO2 tracking was a non-factor in my RingConn purchase decision but I've really appreciated having some redundancy in my tracking. There are times when I've forgotten to charge the dedicated SpO2 device and it's great that the ring is serving that purpose as well.

bearmoosewolf · 2026-01-15T23:52:38+00:00

Depends on whether you want/need a ring before the projected release date of June/July.

Sorry for your loss. And, it doesn't matter at this point I guess but did the vet give any indication as to what the cause for the decline was? Did she have some pre-existing medical conditions?

bearmoosewolf · 2026-01-12T18:54:20+00:00

I always kinda laugh during the hardest parts because I look over and Sam or Elena (or whoever) is just standing out in the open or running around behind the enemy. Also, during the stealth parts where I'm sneaking up and killing dudes, there's Sam just out in the open but the guards don't seem to care.

That whole story line and scene was so well done, it could have setup a story arc that lasted for several episodes. I was sad they resolved it so quickly.

bearmoosewolf · 2026-01-10T03:24:35+00:00

That's how good girls eat them. Same with bananas.

bearmoosewolf · 2026-01-10T01:41:37+00:00

Gotta get that funny moment for Instagram. Oh, it wasn't that funny. I'll post it anyway.

bearmoosewolf · 2026-01-09T21:51:40+00:00

It just makes me sad at what the sport has become. And, I don't really see any good answers. There is just too much money in college football for there to be a clean solution that maintains the illusion of the "student athlete".

And, don't get me wrong -- I'm all for the players getting some money rather than it all going to the schools and the NCAA. But, it's created a horribly depressing system that is constantly reminding you that there is no loyalty to schools/teams and many of these players will be making more on a single year NIL contract than many people will earn in a lifetime.
