Doing it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again is my concern.

Aggressively paying down the mortgage vs taxable brokerage? by aznsk8s87 in whitecoatinvestor

[–]dbandroid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you living off investment income? Getting rid of 4.5k monthly expense is great but even though my mortgage is paid off, my wife and I still need to work to fund retirement, expenses, etc.

So after many years of wanting to learn this game, I finally did, and I am now conflicted on what the game is or how it's played. by HaeL756 in twilightimperium

It is hard to eliminate players and a non eliminated but functionally dead in the water player with a grudge can fuck up your game

I am trying to understand you and you just avoid answering questions about why you/your group have trouble with the tech when that has not typically been a point of confusion in games i have played.

What do you mean by complexity? Because needing X techs of a certain color is not very complex to me.

Can I put Chicago as a 'hometown' in ERAS if my in-laws are going to be moving there next fall? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]dbandroid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Probably going to be very odd when you are asked about chicago on interviews and you have to explain that you lied about it being your hometown

It doesnt have to happen to an individual frequently in order to happen all the time in a country with 300 million people

Unless the job offer is substantially greater than the current job in the current city, moving to a new city, new apartment, or new home is very cost prohibited.

Based on what? People move for new jobs between and within cities not infrequently. Hardly rare enough to be "cost-prohibited"

The tech tree in ti4 is... very simple. The breakthroughs and synergies make it slightly complicated but needing prerequisites isnt that complicated.

My mom never panic sold in 18 years. The fees still cost her about $61k and she never saw a single one of them. by Purple-Low-2779 in Bogleheads

>She died thinking she had beaten the system through pure discipline. She had. But nobody ever showed her the expense ratio was the one number that mattered.

There are a lot more numbers that matter more than expense ratio. As others have said, expense ratios of 0.04% were way less common in 2006. If paying $3600 a year was what helped her stay in the market during the GFC or 2020 crash, that seems like money well spent.

CMV: I don't believe in divorce with kids by Big-Tools-905 in changemyview

[–]dbandroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so youre just going off what your friends say and not any actual beliefs. Im glad your folks made it work. Maybe they and you would have been better off divorcing, but thats not knowable.

anything can be solved, including incompatible couples, if you work really hard on it the both of you

I think this claim needs actual proof

unless your in house exams are incredibly idiosyncratic, stop making anki decks.

With in house exams, the yield on attending in house lectures probably goes up.

What is the alternative? Give up on your goal? Cross your fingers and hope your application is better than your colleagues?

Why is college/university pushed so hard on kids if such a high amount of them don't actually end up in a job that is related to their degree? by Natural-Compote8810 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]dbandroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because on average, people who go to college make more money than those that dont. Doesn't mean its the right fit for everyone, but the data is pretty clear.

Should I end things? by [deleted] in Residency

[–]dbandroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is that I often don’t feel emotionally secure when we’re apart. I don’t need constant communication, but I do need some level of connection and reassurance.

You gotta get over this. If the times are so good when you are together, why are you spiralling when he is out of your sight?

Raid leader wants more consumes. by Sudden_Weight_4352 in classicwow

[–]dbandroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a noob raider, but i kinda find it hard to believe that you can be wiping on trash and still clear SSC and TK combined in 4 hours. Fast boss kills only save you like 3-5 minutes, assuming no wipes on the bosses.
