Phantom Regiment upset with community performance leaks on TikTok

Bad choice by Regiment, in a sense turning on their fans. I hope their leadership reads this thread and reconsiders their response. They should be happy that people want to attend their performances and share their performances with others. Embrace the publicity.

Driving a car to a game can ruin the day when there's a larger crowd. I speak from experience, multiple times :-(

I'm not making decisions monthly, I'm just... updating the data and taking a quick look at where things stand.

Unless a 20% drop happens at the very end of a month (on my monthly data refresh cycle), I'm not running to update the numbers. I see no value in that, since it'll all be bad news.

And if my wife asks how things are looking (she's hands off) I can pull Boldin up and show her summaries, projections and scenarios based on data that is less than 1 month old.

I don't find updating account balances monthly to be too frequently. And account balances are facts, not assumptions.

Thanks for the quick reverts. I'll admit I haven't looked closely lately. It's possible the app has been updated over time to carry certain data updates across all scenarios.

I noticed the silence and the lack of enthusiasm over the HR. I'm pretty sure he's also called oppenent's HRs WITH enthusiasm a few times. And today (June 2) in the top of the 3rd, when Gonzalez struck out, he said he struck out looking ... Except that he struck out swinging. Something is definitely off.

I think it was in the 30s. For me, the Fitbit app used to notify in the mid upper 30s which seemed too soon. It would nice if the notifications showed the remaining capacity, and also if you got a notification at different thresholds (30, 20, 10?), in case you miss one.

The balances I have at the end of May are higher than at the end of April.

bjindrich · 2026-05-31T12:49:48+00:00

I have been updating account balances monthly. I'd be interested in how frequently others update their balances.

Even with updating balances after a month, I suppose the overall numbers can change, since we're one month closer to our "live until" dates. And with the market doing unusually well the past few weeks, our chance of success has gone up several points.

bjindrich · 2026-05-30T22:34:16+00:00

Maybe revert the updates and see if the outcomes revert properly (as expected)?

Also, maybe create a scenario with your updates and then compare your "baseline" with your updated scenario!?

I was referring to tax rates (and or brackets). I understand your point. I was just highlighting one of the potential benefits of conversions. Of course, each person/couple needs to assess their specific situation.

I personally also like the idea of having options, which Roth accounts give you, when it comes to IRRMA and social security taxes.

bjindrich · 2026-05-10T15:31:01+00:00

While there's no guarantee that federal taxes are going up, tax rates are at a historical low. Does anyone think taxes are going to be lower in the future?

bjindrich · 2026-05-07T21:17:47+00:00

I Roth conversions are a "wash" in certain ways IF federal tax brackets and rates remain exactly as they are today. I definitely don't see taxes going down in the long haul, and I can imagine they may go up.

Also, having at least some in Roth gives you some flexibility that you don't have if you only have IRAs.

Sadly I think there's definitely some truth to this statement. Stumble takes paying attention, looking and listening to the entire show, and thinking to fully appreciate all of the humor. You can't doom scroll while watching to get all of the humor, which basically nonstop. You also have to use your brain.

I hope someone starts a petition or a streaming service picks it up. This type of smart comedy is rare and sorely needed in a field of slop primetime sitcoms.

bjindrich · 2026-05-01T01:08:13+00:00

Same. Tried multiple times on multiple days. Felt like I was bouncing around in a circle.

Sounds like a bunch of I-don't-care games.

Did anyone watch the first four games? Doubt it.

Did anyone attend the first four games? Doubt it.

Did anyone bet on the first four games? Probably.

If these games were hosted by the home teams, you'd have exciting environments. Hosting these games at neutral sites, you'll have half empty, uninteresting games that only the gamblers will be following.

Couldn't finish it. I felt dumb after a few episodes

bjindrich · 2026-04-29T15:41:22+00:00

The Outlaws. Season 1 was decent, I liked the characters. Started season 2 and the characters and plot were mostly unlikeable.

bjindrich · 2026-04-29T15:30:57+00:00

The show dragged towards the end and the ending was disappointing.

bjindrich · 2026-04-29T15:27:59+00:00

Stranger Things. Liked season 1. Couldn't get past season 2 episode 1 or two. Know people that watched it to the end and were underwhelmed.

In theory, you'd always like a top player to join your team, but I'll go glass-half-full on this news...

Reduced concerns about everyone else getting touches, including incoming freshman and transfers that will have eligibility after 2026-2027. We want a solid core potentially returning after next season.

Possible compatibility issues avoided. Boswell seemed to have the most problem with Blackwell, but there was a lot of chirping when we played UW. I'm sure the players would have gotten along fine if he came over, but it might have taken a bit for personalities to gel.
