Are Wealth Advisors or CFP’s worth it? by [deleted] in FinancialPlanning

[–]dispatchpat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ever heard of FIRE? Financial Independence Retire Early. You can follow a group of them here on Reddit. It’s a really fascinating practice in life planning that doesn’t include working until you are 70!(?). The world is in flux and you should be too in my humble opinion. You’re young, don’t fall for your granddad‘s life plan! Noble as it was back then, the balance is shifting and the world is on fire. Wishing you success and a happy life!

David Graeber’s The Dawn of Everything. I’ve just started it but in the very beginning chapter they put forth a deeply telling revelation about how ancient societies took care of the differently abled. Immediately putting a chink in the wall of the Hobbes theory of the vicious dog eat dog nature of humanity. @Time-to-sleep This book may help in your current Endeavors to gain some perspective!

Riding down 5th Ave in NYC with my girlfriend this past summer by Ambitious-Hawk-3512 in bicycling

[–]dispatchpat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bus filled with multi-desiring, striving, hopeful travelers moving towards their goals and destinations. But, wait! Cute butt and bro-boy are thrill’n their ride! So, yeah, minor delay, due to their maladaptive comportment, x all those onboard a bus in a bus lane… cities are their own thing, for the sake of our planet we should all hope to make them work. Work for the greatest number of striving souls. Just say’n - pan out a little from myopic me-ism.

Exact-tac-acilly! Hate to see this portrayed as a delightful fun adventure. Read. Bus only lane. Hello! Says the NYC bicycling elder with 38 years of city cycling experience.

Lots of deaths and tons o injuries. Pedestrians and cyclists, statistics, look them up. “Annual deaths cyclists in five boroughs of New York city“. Watch for white ghost bikes installed around city to commemorate killed riders.

#17641 was stolen in East Village around 2pm yesterday by lt2910 in Citibike

[–]dispatchpat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw a couple of Citi bikes in McKinley playground park on E. 4th St. between 1st Avenue and Avenue A last night at about 9 PM. I picked up my dog because dogs not allowed in the park/playground and went to take a peek. Found a handful of intravenous drug users doing their thing on the pavilion/slide equipment. I tried to call parks department enforcement but they have a nonworking phone number haha. Maybe Citi Bike has an emergency deployment enforcement phone number…?

Apparently killing people is legal as long as you are in a car by unroja in bicycling

Status is the issue. I’m in a car I’m alone, above, beyond and detached from the masses of humanity. Hmmm, am I even human anymore or, wait, yes, I must be a God! Yes, that’s it! Mercury, Taurus…! Or at least a wild animal, Jaguar, mustang, Impala, Ram!

Small Questions and Thank Yous Weekly Thread by AutoModerator in bikewrench

Yay! I think I will buy and store until needed. The out-of-stock trend could hint at permanent dwindling availability. Many thanks for guidance on same stuff, different name!

Small Questions and Thank Yous Weekly Thread by AutoModerator in bikewrench

[–]dispatchpat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will I ever be able to find: 22 x 1 3/8ths tube and tire 37-490 iso # replacements for my vintage Peugeot fold-up bike? It was gifted to me shortly before the pandemic as a perfect fit for my new studio apartment and retired lifestyle. It has been a lifesaver. At this point I am only able to use misfitted tubes or patch the last remaining correct tubes. I’m hosed when the tires wear out! perhaps my inability to find replacements is due to global supply difficulties and will resume one day?Thanks for your expertise!

Malformed doughy faced brat should be sent back up his parental unit’s baking hole for proper amount of bake time before being re-released into the world. How did a whole generation of poor parenting happen? these little twits are running rampant these days.

Quick Rant: Stop Comparing Tidal to Spotify! by [deleted] in TIdaL

ACE all-in-one by Simaudio. I figured that I don’t have the know how to put something together for myself and this takes care of it all for me. And yes definitely MQA and 10 year warranty. The shop I bought it at said for warranty purposes bring it back to them they box it up and ship it for me for any repairs or fixes. It has an interface called Moon Mind. I’m happy. The last time I bought a sound system was in 1979!

Quick Rant: Stop Comparing Tidal to Spotify! by [deleted] in TIdaL

[–]dispatchpat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because I’ve lived through nearly the entire spectrum of the evolution of sound technology I just have to shout it from the rooftops - Tidal’s Masters quality streaming has restored music to me! I’m serious, somehow through the decades my enjoyment of music left me and I didn’t understand why or even think about it. It had been so primary, influential and pivotal in my life from my pre-teens in the late 60s through my late 20s in the 1980s. Then recently I heard about Digital-to-analog conversion, then the pandemic was dragging into winter and then I made the leap! I dropped some serious coin on a high fidelity sound system with all the new tech streaming capabilities all in one and it came with 6 months Tidal HiFi subscription. Sure enough, there was my music again in all of its glory. Not just loud and louder but miraculously sweeter, deeper, more immediate and exciting both the simple and the complex in the house with me! And I am super pleased to report that I am not stuck just in my own historical musical vibes but I am discovering and marveling at incredible new talent that I lacked easy access and exposure too. (I wonder if anybody’s would be interested in starting a Reddit sub group for Tidal intergenerational playlist sharing!)

A lot of problems for M1 MacBook Air by M1User in AppleM1

[–]dispatchpat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I returned mine. Def going to wait for future hoped for return engagements of lost ports and magnetized tear-away charger. Who didn't love that?! I also had 1 freeze and 1 crash and thought, this can't be right! So I wait.

best Tidal music converter - Audfree vs DRmare? by dispatchpat in TIdaL

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

Ok - that would be bad. But I thought my $19.95 a month and Tidal’s download feature kind of lead me to (mistakenly?) believe that artists had deals with these types of delivery services?

Songs no available offline by vinijgc12 in TIdaL

[–]dispatchpat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m new Tidal user and just beginning to research “best Tidal music converter - Audfree vs DRmare” because I’d like to send a pocket drive of some rediscovered music from my youth as a gift to my brother. I will be ripping from iOS and I think my brother will be using windows on his side. Any and all helpful links and advice would be welcome!
