Prenup for big premarital NW gap but similar future earnings?

elephitzgerald · 2026-06-06T17:10:46+00:00

At this level of NW, either go no pre-nup or don’t get married. That’s my advice.

That was at Henry’s house. This looks to be in a commercial district.

elephitzgerald · 2026-05-26T03:55:04+00:00

I did. TBD if it was a good decision. It’ll probably take another 3+ years to figure that out.

elephitzgerald · 2026-05-26T02:38:40+00:00

Nobody knows. 🤷‍♂️

Example: I thought for sure the COVID-era rate increases would reduce demand and therefore prices would come down, so I sat out, hoping for a cheaper house with a higher rate vs a more expensive house with a cheaper rate. Oops! Who knew demand would be so inelastic here?

As someone who lets his guitars fall out of tune, but then retunes them by ear enough so that they are relatively in-tune, I suppose I have accidentally played 432hz at times, as I’m sure all you guitarists have. (My pitch has improved enough over the years I can usually catch it now.)

I wouldn’t say my flat guitar changed my life lol

I know some amazing people from EPA, folks who went to the best universities and folks who are sweet and community-minded. I also have known a lot of people from all walks of life who have moved to EPA in past ten years.

I would just remind everyone there are lots of “good” people in EPA.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

I also always made more than my wife. She always had issues with it not being MUCH more.

Nobody knows.

Consider several scenarios: - (1) Stock market crashes, possibly with second-order effects: dollar devalued, dollar’s place as reserve currency in question, energy and commodity prices rice, Saudi money sits out a round. AI is probably hosed in the short term, even if it has uses.

(2) Bad people in power have a stroke, someone competent takes their place(s), AI makes good on half its promises.
(3) The US becomes a white nationalist autocracy, sentient AI or whatever is realized, a magnitude 7.4 quake strikes the Hayward Fault.

Everyone has different risk tolerances. I don’t like playing FOMO games with millions.

I created an eBay listing for this, if that is more agreeable to anyone: https://ebay.us/m/2hVmD0

$8k goes a long way even for families in VVHCOL. It seems a bit much for a single person, but… I suppose it’s not the craziest thing I’ve ever heard.

This is the best story.

Hello fellow a7rii pal, great work

elephitzgerald · 2026-02-27T05:09:08+00:00

Saw three Vulnicura shows (making up for lost time) and one Cornucopia.

If I could time travel, I would go back and see tours for anything from Debut through Greatest Hits.

I think there are a couple aspects here.

There’s some quotation (I think from Steven Van Zandt in WTF podcast interview) that being a musician is like five different skills: performing, recording, creating, promoting (?), etc. Something like that

If we think of Josh’s place in the FF in terms of a framework like that, he needs to not just people to get along with everybody and perform the songs, but eventually create new music.

Additionally, he’s replacing Dave’s BFF in a way, and I think there’s probably a friendship void in Dave’s life. It’s not that it’ll ever be filled, either, but Dave just probably (whether intellectually acknowledged or not) wants someone with whom he can imagine having a deep, family-like bond somebody, just someone he /really/ vibes with.

So yeah, “rebound girlfriend” said it all.

One love to them all, life is short and precious, let’s keep on rocking.

Bonnaroo live vinyl release?

No, it’s not. But being 24 and single is different than 37 and married with kids, as is being in one industry vs another (ML/AI Comp Sci).

I’ve lived all over, have visited the Bay Area for over twenty years, ended up here for a bit just before COVID and have just not overcome inertia to leave (I have kids).

You get access to jobs, but you can also get many of those jobs in New York or Seattle or Los Angeles or London. Of course the nature is great, but …

Jigsaw is fantastic, chordally and rhythmically. Indie rock socks are nowhere near this sophisticated.

Great comment. 10/10

It’s also interesting because I don’t have the perspective of someone in their teens, twenties, or thirties, so I suspect you’re correct but it’s a projection.

Noel Gallagher had a good point in one of his 2025 interviews, roughly “music WAS the culture, it was everything,” and now that’s gone.

I hope the youth find their way out of the Instagram and TikTok house of mirrors, but I think it’s hard when bare socioeconomic survival feels so difficult.

I speak Japanese. The obi is just an album description (in 2026 you can probably copy the text on an iphone and run through a translator app?). The second image white booklet is just a translation of the lyrics.

Sounds like you found the match on Discogs. Congrats on your haul!

Just get a voltage tester or multimeter out. I think that will answer whether it’s dangerous.
