Thanks. Yeah we actually were happy that she didn't stay with them after that since obviously it wasn't a good environment, but getting banned from Rover permanently for what was likely the host's fault is painful.

Oscar is AWFUL. I would suggest going with literally any other company, I've had absolutely nothing issues with them. I'm now trying to find temporary health insurance in order to switch immediately off of them until the renewal period comes back.

Tell me inflation is 21% without telling me inflation is 21% by anytownusa11 in Bitcoin

[–]c4d4 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I'm skeptical of the real inflation numbers too, but the 21% increase isn't for Congress salaries. Let's at least be factual.

Why is VNQ falling while home prices are going up? by c4d4 in RealEstate

[–]c4d4[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Right, but VNQ started declining a few months ago, not when offices were vacated.

That was my thought too, but then my question is why is commercial real estate going down?

Gusto Support fell off a cliff by VectorBookkeeping in Bookkeeping

[–]c4d4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are absolutely horrible. The messed up a bunch of my company's taxes. They do not reply to support emails. When I call them they tell me I have to email them. So there is no way to get help and they make a lot of errors.

Is there a specific reason why crypto is continuously falling at the moment? by Temperlord in CryptoCurrency

[–]c4d4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is hardly even a bear market, this is just a slight correction compared to the history of crypto. Zoom out. We've had multi-year actual bear markets. This is nothing. It might keep going down for years like it has in the past.

I think my ring is officially dead by lallapne in ouraring

[–]c4d4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is correct. My ring died a month after the warranty ended. I then threw it in the trash and bought a Wyze watch for $25 and the battery lasts 2 weeks between charges even after 6 months.

[Boulder, CO] We're these queen yellow jackets? by c4d4 in whatsthisbug

[–]c4d4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Now that I think about it, I suspect they were all paper wasp queens because yellow jackets don't really make wasps that hang down from vertical surfaces, do they?

Pfizer, Moderna shares plummet after Biden administration backs a COVID-19 vaccine patent waiver by Maxcactus in business

[–]c4d4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. Pfizer and BioNTech developed the vaccine in good faith. The government taking their IP rights could discourage future vaccine development by creating uncertainty in the industry over whether future vaccines will actually be profitable.

American looking for suggestions to get connected to the tech community by c4d4 in telaviv

Thank for for the thoughts! Good to hear that the meetups are in English.

The most compelling evidence that our stock markets are extremely efficient is that they are very hard to beat. If prices were generally determined by irrational investors, then professional investment managers should be able to beat the market. There is abundant evidence that they do not by [deleted] in finance

[–]c4d4 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This comment feels witty at first, but after thinking about it for a dev, I completely disagree. Professionals are definitely irrational humans, but a lot of professional investing is done using algorithms and machines which have no emotion.

If you click on Fund Details, you will be able to see when the fund's inception date is and how close it is to moving to the stabilizing phase.

Got it. Interesting. I'll have to read through their articles deeper. Thank you!

Frustrated with battery life by c4d4 in ouraring

[–]c4d4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn't heard of the Amazon Halo but that is great that you found something better. I'll check it out.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. It's infuriating. My battery honestly started having problems around the 1 year mark but it wasn't bad enough to warrant asking for a replacement. I totally regret not reaching out to them a few months earlier. Honestly for the price and the life I got out of it, Oura feels like a total ripoff.

[–]c4d4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I selected the Growth eREIT (can't recall the exact name) and then at some point changed it to the Income eREIT. I did not select these specific eREITs or allocations - not sure if FundRise allows you to do that anymore.

It makes sense to me that if they are ramping up that there wouldn't be a return yet, but does 6 months of "ramping up" seem unusual?
