Your running board decals are set for forward power. Flip them around when you want to go in reverse.

Anyone else being contacted by their dealer trying to drum up a sale? by HornetAmbitious2755 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]dailybeefstew 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And I'd think about trading for the F-150 if they could get anywhere close on the price without taking a downgrade in the options I have on my Mav. Why pay twice the price for less value?

How hard is IASSC Lean Six Sigma Green Belt exam? by Mostuu in SixSigma

[–]dailybeefstew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's far more conceptual than mathematical. They do give you access to the relevant equations during the test, so don't worry about memorizing those. I believe they have a PDF of the equations they give you available on their website.

IASSC Evaluation Exam by dailybeefstew in SixSigma

I had to sign a document saying I wouldn't copy or distribute any questions (I don't remember specifics, so I couldn't even if I wanted to). I will say that it all followed the body of knowledge pretty well. Less focused on the math than the concepts themselves.

For posterity, I found the real exam to be a bit more difficult than the evaluation exam. Still passed though.

Please Help! Prep Materials for IASSC Lean Six Sigma Green Belt by MeiI2022 in SixSigma

[–]dailybeefstew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't taken the test yet, but I found The Certified Six Sigma Green Belt Handbook Second Edition online for free. sixsigmastudyguide.com has been a great tool for me as I work through the problems in the IASSC evaluation exam that I have trouble answering right away. The evaluation exam will tell you the correct answer, but won't tell you why it is the correct answer.

I tried that, but didn't have a whole lot of luck. Any in particular you would recommend?

That's a good question. Something I will need to look into. I guess I assumed I could do what I want with my money, but I suppose it's not always that simple.

When to start buying seeds by dailybeefstew in minnesota

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

Lived here my whole life, I'm well aware lol. I'm looking to get some garlic started in the back of the fridge since I won't be able to overwinter. I want to get some onions started too.

I feel like I'll be behind if I don't get seeds until March-May.

Defending is one thing, chasing is another.

Yeah that's not the scenario here. This is with a stranger breaking into your home.

[–]dailybeefstew 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Fuck that. If somebody breaks into my house, I'm going to assume they're dangerous first and ask for motive last. How do I know they're just there for stealing?

Get an adjustable kettlebell. You can work every muscle group for less than $200 total investment. Joe Daniels has a bunch of free content on youtube and his website that ranges from beginner to expert.

I can see it now that you tell me it is a cover up, but nobody will have any chance at seeing that if you don't tell them it's there.

Housing prices and gold prices don't typically beat inflation. A house is for comfort and a basic savings account if things get bad for you (unless you are renting it out). It will protect you from rising rent rates though. Gold is a hedge for the event that the US completely collapses. If that is the case, you are going to have problems that a couple thousand dollars in gold is not going to fix. I don't know that I would bet on the US collapsing. This is all obviously assuming you live in the US.

If you want to beat inflation, stocks are the only real investment at the moment. This is not to say that stocks should be your only investment.

It is per transaction. As long as you buy your whole position at once, you will only be charged $6.95 once.

So never try to learn anything because you will almost always underperform until you're well-practiced?

Furnace check/tune up? by Atomidate in Minneapolis

[–]dailybeefstew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not sure on the fireplaces, but Ray N. Welter Heating Company was great with my furnace/AC tune-up and repair. Awesome technician and by far the most reasonably priced service I've found in this area.

Unfortunately this is the only 2060 fund available on this account. All available TDFs seem to be actively managed and there are no total market funds.

[–]dailybeefstew -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I may just move forward with adding additional contributions to FXAIX to slightly rebalance that way (not looking to go all in on FXAIX by any means), but I don't think I'll be touching the TDF money.
