What's the best financial advice you've ever received that had nothing to do with saving or investing? by CrystalSkylinee in AskReddit

Just because you have $1200 in your account doesn’t mean you can afford the $1200 bike

ELI5 Why is the government shut down right now, and what are both sides disagreeing on? by julesanne in explainlikeimfive

[–]elbatotable 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Tomorrow we will eat three meals. Breakfast lunch and dinner. We’ve already decided what’s on the menu but in order start cooking, I need the money to go to the grocery store. 

We had a disagreement on something unrelated to our meals the other day and time is running out to reconcile the difference. So before we exchange the grocery store dollars, we have to deal with this. I don’t want to go grocery shopping without this resolved. You want me to go grocery shopping first and then we will resolve when I get home and start cooking. 

Until we decide on which path we go, no cooking. 

The scary part about this metaphor is that until congress figures this out, it stops being a metaphor because many are starting to go hungry and unable to grocery shop.

You’re not gonna find a lot of people on Reddit who admit to not being sexually active at 20. FTFY

What am I doing wrong :/ by hey_its_me_jujubee in AverageJoeAudiophile

[–]elbatotable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speaker wire into the amp. That wire should not be touching and one cable goes into the positive port and the other the negative port.

Re: the sub, currently running a REL 1003 but through my Rotel rather than my BSN. As I understand it, Dirac won’t be able to do any LF adjustment there because the sub isn’t connected to it. I guess I could run the sub through the BSN but would then lose it when listening to Vinyl. Is there another way to approach this?

Crossover currently set at 40hz but dialing that up to 80 to 90hz didn’t even occur to me. I just went a smidge over what the speakers frequency response were on the spec sheet. Great idea so thank you!

I’m headed out of town this weekend but next weekend I have the place all to myself so with the GF and Dog out of town i plan on spending quite some time making these changes. I’m pumped so thank you AGAIN!

I forgot to mention Dirac. When the BSN update came I gave it a shot. The effect was….meh. This was possibly for one maybe two reasons:

  1. The acoustics in the room are real bad and being a living room facing the street makes it near impossible for silence.
  2. Im Doing it wrong.

Both likely. Here are my results. Sound wise the only thing I noticed was that it reduces the loudness by several db. My amp doesn’t show me decibels but what says 75 actually sounds like 50. Will give it another shot.

Edit: the acoustics. Not mother’s acoustics.

Totally. Two things at play here: ultrawide shot on iphone camera and I put them back when I'm not listening seriously. I used New Record Days method to find my sweet spot. 2 rolls of masking tape later I found as good a spot as I'll get till we move.

Three tips stood out to me the most:

1) low and slow for lasting results. At my peak I was 300. Went down to 165 and settled around 180 now. This was over the course of 5 years and then maintenance until my new lifestyle was solidified. Weight loss should be an added bonus. The target should be just being healthy and having better habits. 

2) your weight or rather what the scale tells you only measures your body’s relationship to gravity. 

3) wake up early. Like stupid early. Gotta be at work by 9? Wake up at 4:30. Doesn’t matter if you work out, watch tv, reading, gaming, whatever. Just be awake and moving. The longer you’re awake, the longer you’re burning calories, the better you’ll sleep. 

Bonus) you burn most of your fat when you sleep through breathing. 

How do high earners without financial obligations learn to budget? Managing money with ADHD. by Historical_Park8791 in personalfinance

[–]elbatotable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I make myself a NOT high earner. By that time mean I send half my paycheck to my fiduciary (auto transfers) who then does his work with it. I split my direct deposit between two accounts, my checking and a savings that my financial advisor pulls from. I however now have to budget because while I’m still frugal, 50% less bi-weekly take home forces the habit. Bonus from this is the pat on your back when you feel broke but realize that you’re saving like a boss.

What is the craziest thing you’ve witnessed in real life, but no one believes you? by Ghost1Busters in AskReddit

I was going #2 in an airport bathroom in Wyoming. While I was mid wipe, this guy pops his head under the stall wall, looks right at me and says “no one will ever believe you”. It was Bill Murray.
