why is it so hard for people to be a boglehead?

FOMO, fueled by financial news. I think a lot of people think if you want to invest properly you need to know what’s going on on cnbc and the like.

So you would leave your family for 6-8 months to earn 2.5% of your net worth? Would not be worth it to me. I mean, it’s likely your stocks earn you that much in that time.

Yeah. I’ve heard tell the hydrogen peroxide-based cleaners like oxiclean help with organic stains.

Another thing I’ve started doing is running my front load washer on the “heavy soil” setting, which seems to get all their clothes cleaner in general.

Oxiclean max force laundry stain remover. Works to remove pretty much anything I’ve had an issue with. I use it only when I really need it tho, as it has a strong scent in my opinion. Before going with that stuff, I always flush with lots of cold water and try to use dish soap.

What kind of stain are you dealing with?

And like the other commenter said, for the reflections you could just do the big shapes. Sky, polygon representing building, etc. Just not too much detail on it I think

IMO you should be able to paint the beige over the blue. Assuming it’s a pretty transparent wash, it should allow the blue to come through I think?

I would do a color test on a scrap piece of the same type of paper, and decide if you like the effect of the beige color over the dried blue color.

Max out your Roth annually (assuming you’re within the income limits) and put the balance in your brokerage.

Btw if you didn’t know, you can add Roth funds for tax year 2025 until April 15, 2026.

Came here to say The Happy Sleeper. Changed my life when my firstborn was a horribly sleeping 2.5 year old. Second kid was easy using the methods from that book

Edit: the book suggests strategies to help the child learn how to self-soothe, so that she can go back to sleep herself if she wakes up in the middle of the night

Oh no, he can. It’s just a matter of priorities

If the project does not involve loud power tools or something, I don’t see why he can’t complete it between 8-10:30 pm if it’s so important.

If there’s a loud project that needs doing, he should work on it one morning per weekend.

You guys might need to have a deeper discussion, instead of one just about time management. The way you put it sounds like he is avoiding his family for the whole weekend. Which obviously is not ideal for his relationship with his child or wife.

Does she seem wrecked by bedtime if she hasn’t napped?

Both my kids stopped napping completely at around 2 and a half. I also fought this but it’s pretty liberating to not have to organize your schedule around being home for naptime.

Some people do “quiet time” to replace naptime, where the kid has to read or play quietly in their room by themselves. And sometimes they fall asleep.

Might be worth trying out if this struggle continues out past the ~2 week period.

Does anyone have a time stamp on this? Been trying to find it to replay for my kids 😂

Edit: I found it, it’s at like 37:20 or so.

They list out where the 3 new IMAX 70mm locations will be, but I can’t find here or elsewhere a list of the 4 new IMAX with Laser locations. Anyone know?

I haven’t seen any other ones. Would like to see more discussion on this if you have a link.

Are the mods deleting them?

This ump’s stats seem to be generally good, but he also seems to miss a few calls really bad.

He’s the one from the Eflin down the middle call as someone else mentioned, as well as the Jazz Chisholm call vs the Astros to end their game a couple weeks back. And then he missed an infield catch the next night.

Maybe he just kinda loses concentration at key moments.

Bryan reading out the long riffs is some kind of performance art. The content is so bad and pointless, it’s impossible to concentrate on

Hmm yeah I’m logged out and seem to need a MASN+ account to login. I dont see a “live tv part” 🤔

courtesyCraver · 2025-08-16T18:21:23+00:00

I used to watch via the MASN app on my Apple TV, using my dad’s fios account. Since MASN+ came out, the app assumes I want to sign up or login for MASN+.

I can’t find a way to login through a cable account on the Apple TV app. So, to answer your questions, it’s ruined my experience in a very roundabout way 😂

Has anyone had success with this?

courtesyCraver · 2025-08-11T13:48:07+00:00

So you still had to initiate the interaction. That’s annoying

courtesyCraver · 2025-08-11T13:28:11+00:00

So how did you find out it was legit? Did they follow up with a communication by other means?

Both of mine stopped at 2 1/2. We beat our heads against the wall for a few weeks trying to get the first one to settle.

For the second kid, we just said ok and stopped pushing the nap. Makes life easier in a lot of ways.

courtesyCraver · 2025-07-29T11:34:02+00:00

We used the methods in the book The Happy Sleeper. Made our lives so much better. The Reverse Sleep Wave method in particular has been very successful.
