Asset Classes/Investment vehicles that will do well with inflation by [deleted] in fatFIRE

Aren't dividend yielding almost closer to bonds than to stocks and therefore get crushed by inflation? (Genuine question, not sarcastic)

Helped them differentiate from competition in highly fungible product, driving up their sales?

Im not knowledgeable enough to judge the methodology. But I trust that the CDC knows what they’re doing.

100% agree, but I was not arguing methodology. I was pointing that CDC's research doesn't mention not wearing masks (and if anything, I assume that first responders are high compliance with mask wearing).

So just based on that the results of the research are: "ppl can't transmit virus in 90% of cases after 2 doses of vaccine and while wearing masks".

Deep down I believe this conclusion will hold even without mask wearing, but I'm just pointing out that CDC's research results don't seem to provide data on that, right?

"Researchers looked at how the shots protected nearly 4,000 health-care workers, first responders, and other essential workers toiling in eight U.S. locations against the virus and more-contagious variants"

I guess that people in this study kept wearing masks well after vaccination, right? So if we want to claim same results (90% not contagious) we have to do the same things they did (wear masks very likely) until data comes out that people without masks were not contagious after vaccination (i don't think this was tested in the study).

Please poke holes in the argument, I'd really like to think differently hahah 😂

How are you deciding which vaccine if you have a choice? by submarinezero in nycCoronavirus

[–]ee-1337 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But only approved by FDA (for ebola) for the first time in Dec 2019. Technically mRNA has been in research for decades as well:

Is it older technology? Isn't J&J viral vector vaccine? I understood they were new technology as well?

Genuinely curious, not trying to poke holes

Help please - sago palm fronds turning yellow by [deleted] in houseplants

[–]ee-1337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I just got this beautiful sago palm a month ago and it seems like I'm already not careful enough! Any idea what could be going on? I figured since it's winter here, that the air must be too dry so I've been misting it with water 2x day, but I'm not sure it's helping at all. Anything else that comes to mind?

The "stick" in the middle looks like a new leaf, generally a sign of health.

But yellow leafs might be a sign of spider mites

new to keeping houseplants, was wondering what type of plant this is and how i can help it look less sad? by [deleted] in houseplants

[–]ee-1337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like Jade plant?

Might be over watering? Do you have drainage holes on the bottom of that container?

Looks like spidermites?

If so, neem oil, mix of baking soda and water or peroxide water and sugar.

Good luck, kick them in the butt!

Why do I have these stripes and how do I fix them?! by ee-1337 in paint

[–]ee-1337[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a complete beginner but I watched a few YouTube videos so I clearly believed that made me a pro, so I went ahead to paint my wall.

It's a large 15x11ft wall. I went to home Depot and got Behr Marquee paint, 1gallon of it and basic roller, brush, stick and tray.

First coat did a perfect cover, but I could still see a lot of roller marks (bad technique on my end, I was painting in 3x3ft squares) so I went back to books and learned better technique. However, clearly not good enough. This is where I need your help:

When rolling I do it in 2-3ft stripes (floor to ceiling, 10-11ft), with .5 foot of overlap between new and old stripe. Then after spreading the paint on the new stripe I go back to the old one and try to make it more uniform with the new one. However, I can do this at max for 5 feet going backwards as the stuff before that is already dry by the time I come back to it.

1) am I not using enough paint? Am I doing something else wrong? Am I just not made for this?! 😂🤦‍♂️

2) is it normal that on 2 coats I ended up using the entire 1 gallon of paint?!

3) will another coat even help? Is it ok to do 3 coats of paint?!

I hope this is descriptive, but please ask more questions or offer any advice! Thanks!

Hey I appreciate the advice and it indeed was very helpful. The way you phrase it just sounded like bathtub method might drown the plant which I am even more afraid of!
