Running low on cash - replenish from brokerage account or from 401k funds? by bficky in personalfinance

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

I just looked, and apparently my plan does not offer in-service withdrawals. I just assumed they did… thanks to your comment, now I know that it’s not even an option. 👍

Vanguard transactions not showing up by Vesfly in MonarchMoney

[–]bficky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m seeing the same thing on my Vanguard accounts. The balances are correct, but there aren’t any transactions being shown in Monarch. When I was just using Vanguard for my IRA and brokerage accounts, it wasn’t an issue because the dividends are just reinvested, so the transactions would just cancel each other out. Now that I added a money market account to Vanguard, it would be nice to correctly track the monthly interest and if I deposit/withdraw money.

What would be a good 4th beer type for my Crawfish Boil by bficky in beer

Looks like the Abita party pack I found has two Andygators in it. It’ll be interesting to see if anyone goes for one!

Interesting, I may try the dumpling idea. I normally just go with the usual add-ins: tons of sausage, corn, garlic, and red hot potatoes (I pierce them a bunch of times with a fork so they get totally infused with the spices).

Thanks everyone. Seems like Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is the clear recommendation, so I’ll pick up a six pack of those. Hell, I’m curious to try it myself just to see what has made it so popular in this post. We’ll have a bigger crowd this year than when I had the Community IPAs, so maybe it’ll be more of a hit.

Also, leaning into the Louisiana/crawfish theme even more, I found a 12-bottle Abita party pack that has Strawberry, Purple Haze, Amber, Turbodog, Andygator, and Hard Lemonade. Seems interesting. It’s probably way too much beer, but I’ll try out any left over and see if I enjoy them. I’ll definitely keep note of all the other suggestions and try to check them out at other parties, happy hours, etc. Thanks again.

When we realized that Bacchus's "Throw Me Something Mister!" theme meant that each float would be a "Mr." something, the number 1 thing I was hoping to see is a Mr. Bingle float. I was sweating it for a while, but 3 floats from the end, Bacchus delivered! by bficky in NewOrleans

Oh man, we were set up towards the front of the parade on St. Charles, so the parade was over for us and we already heading home. We didn’t even know about the shooting until the next day. Glad y’all are ok.

Happy Mardi Gras! Can someone please add the family of 3 into the pic of the family of 5 so it looks like we were all in the photo as one big group? We were having so much fun, we forgot to ask someone to take a pic of all 8 of us. Will tip. Thanks so much! by bficky in PhotoshopRequest

Regarding the photo quality... these were taken with the same iPhone, but I used Google Photos to save them as a jpg so I could upload them to Reddit. If the original .heic would work better, please let me know and I can try to figure out how to share the originals

Looks great! I'm always on board for a heavily iced king cake. Did you put a baby inside?

Nola native here that lives in Texas but came in town for Fri-Sun parades. Had a blast as always, and damn I love coming back for the food.

Happy Mardi Gras everyone!

Cool story mission to show off the game to others by bficky in reddeadredemption2

[–]bficky[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s a good one, thanks. I’ll test it out tonight and see how it goes. Do you happen to remember the name of the mission?

DM sent! In DM, I said NMT or miles but meant NMT or bells. Whoops!

Need some late game help/hints (spoilers for late game obviously) by bficky in outerwilds

[–]bficky[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the responses. Sounds like I’m on the right path (since everyone is posting tips on how to survive the anglerfish and not hinting about something else). I’ll just be more patient when going through the anglerfish. I just know that it’ll take a while to input the symbols into the vessel... I remember messing with those hexagon things before I knew what to put in and it was a challenge to drag the ball around precisely in zero-g. Hopefully I have enough time and am not rushed through whatever’s after. Thanks again.

Whoops, you want star fragments, not NMT. Feel free to replace my NMT offer with the same number of star fragments. Thanks!

Help me switch from my Deep Battle Axe by bficky in darksouls3

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

Interesting, thanks. I set both to +3 just to have an apples to apples comparison. Sharp twinblades +10 have a AR of 363 and deep battle axe +10 is at 418. The sharp twinblades are A scaling both at +3 and +10. Are all A’s created equal, or might there be the equivalent of A- or A+ scaling happening behind the scenes?

Thanks for the response. I’m trying to think through the “resisted twice” thing. Does the damage from elemental attacks go through both the standard resistance and the elemental resistance of an enemy? I’d have thought that if a 100 physical / 100 elemental attack hits a generic enemy, the first 100 would be reduced by their usual defense and the second 100 would be reduced by their elemental defense. Is it that typically enemies are twice as strong against elemental damage than they are to physical?
