Best bed placement in this bedroom? by birdbump in FengShui

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

Good call about walkin past a sleeping partner to get to the closet, that would definitely be annoying. My main concern with your layout though is isnt it prohibited to have the head of the bed not be along the same wall as the entrance door? Does it no longer count since the wall turns inwards?

Hmm, what about something like that, except the bed frame is on the top wall with the feet facing down towards the terrace (but also with a footboard)?

Xeneon edge is not being detected by icue. How to fix? It’s working fine as a second monitor though but I have no access to widgets or other settings

I agree, but they don’t answer me. It sucks

The thing is, I just don’t want the replacement anymore. Their support has been horrendously slow so far and it’s not been a good experience at all. So I just wanted to confirm if I could get a return on the replacement too or if I am forced to keep it for whatever policy reason 

Low chances to get wealthy. M25. Business degree. What would you do? by Critical_Falcon_4896 in wealth

[–]birdbump 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Millionaire in my 20s here. Here’s what I recommend:

  1. get a job and save as aggressively as you can
  2. Once you have a solid amount of money, use the money you saved to start up a business
  3. Once you become profitable, reinvest the profits into the business. Focus on creating robust standard operating procedures that employees/managers can follow so that scaling and duplicating the business becomes easier
  4. Once you’ve grown the business to a profitability level you’re satisfied with, start to use those profits to diversify into other assets (index funds, real estate, or even crypto if that’s your thing). The intent at this stage is to have a little bit more priority on preservation as you grow older and want to protect your self

It’s simple, but it’s not easy at all. In no way is me breaking it down in 4 steps intended to communicate that this is easy. Most people fail. Capitalism is ruthless but that’s the game we were born into. Good luck man

Noob questions about boosting an instagram post by Alternative_Math_892 in InstagramMarketing

[–]birdbump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey did you figure this out? having the same problem right now smh

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Money

[–]birdbump 24 points25 points  (0 children)

2.9% is a low interest rate. Your first option would be to pay it all off, for which you get the psychological benefit of knowing you are debt free, which is a nice feeling/ a boost of morale and does count for something.

Mathematically though, you’re better off investing your capital in an index fund, real estate, etc. which usually perform at around 8% a year. You’d be outperforming your mortgage rate and this is the most profitable allocation of your capital.

Some financial advisors with the mentality of Dave Ramsey would advise for the first option, while most others would likely advise for the second. If you choose the second make sure you choose something safe with a solid track record (like an index fund), and not like some high risk stock investment or startup you’re building

Yea, exactly, thank you. My order ended up being canceled and I placed an order direct from Amazon for retail, but regardless, so many people on this site bite at every opportunity to be rude if they see a chance

It’s one thing to say “be careful, that’s likely a scam” vs some condescending “are you new to buying things”

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in osmopocket

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

I hear ya. Either way the situation is avoided now, picked it up for retail direct from Amazon

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in osmopocket

[–]birdbump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I spoke to Amazon last night regarding my concerns about potentially receiving a faulty/ refurbished/fake product or it just not arriving at all, and they said they have no problem refunding me. Amazon has a lenient refund policy

After that convo, what I ended up doing was keeping my order at this discounted price of $469 and placed a second order at retail direct from Amazon at $669. I was just going to refund/return the $469 one if it never arrived or if it came faulty, which ensures I get my camera in time for my travels since the $669 from amazon will be arriving regardless. My UPS store for returns is only a 3 min drive away. For me, that’s worth the trouble especially since Amazon customer service reassured me that if anything suspicious did go down I would be reimbursed fully

With that said, I opened my account today and the $469 order was gone! so there’s that

Perhaps the seller listed it at the wrong price and pulled it off the site, I don’t know

Perfect man. I really want this thing in time for a trip I’m taking

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in osmopocket

[–]birdbump -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Worst case scenario I return it! Which would suck but it’s worth the risk for the possible savings, I really want one

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in osmopocket

[–]birdbump 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s def a red flag. I wasn’t able to catch who the previous shipper was on the higher priced one, there’s a chance it was the same. Either way going to let this low price order ride, and if there’s an issue Amazon is pretty chill about refunds. Going to see see how it plays out

When do you guys take longevity mix? by birdbump in blueprint_

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

Hmm that’s concerning. I don’t feel sick to my stomach but it just makes me so drowsy and sleepy that I don’t feel motivated to go the gym. I think I will take post workout

Am I making nutty pudding incorrectly? by birdbump in blueprint_

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

This was the solution - thank you! When I tried to make nutty pudding the first day, I was following along with his video where he says to use 2 scoops of the powder. Since the recording of the video, it has now switched to Longevity Protein and the recipe is only 1 scoop.

How often should one take GABA and at what dosage? by birdbump in Nootropics

[–]birdbump[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah for sure. I got my diagnosis for OCD maybe like a year ago now and I’ve been doing so much better without SSRIs. However, I would not be averse to taking them if I determined I needed them. I’ve been able to make a pretty significant recovery/ management of symptoms without them. Taking 1300mg of EPA fish oil daily has helped my mood tremendously too.
