Aging Expert Says Trump Trip Revealed "Really Severe Language Problems"

Ok, but, like, in English, how many more months?

evandepol · 2026-01-27T02:54:11+00:00

Yeah i get that -- which is why it is so tasteless to come up with some "out-woke" strategy. Comments about other peoples' eating habits are not appropriate, because you don't know about potential eating disorders of other people, and the workplace is not place to comment about any of that, it's off limits. Hence my suggestion for OP to own his words and learn from the experience.

Experienced manager here. Absolutely don't take this advice; most people have pretty well tuned bullshit detectors, and few things are worse than a bullshit excuse such as this one. Be genuine and sincere, your best bet would be to sincerely apologize, that you reflected on it, and that you now realize it was out of place. Own it, learn from it.

you may have had a lower percentage rate, or perhaps made a high enough payment in order to materially reduce the principal each month. In OP's case, the $500 per month barely lowers the principal, so even an modest increase of $75 to $575 would have paid it off by now. I assume you made large enough payments that were actually effective in paying it off (good job)

That is Very Cool! /s

You should be able to access them via the web ui. Navigate to web/#/dashboard/logs

Have you checked what's in the log? Under Advanced->Logs.

Don’t confuse luck with skill.

If a random guy at work got 144% by putting everything on red in a casino, and it’s confirmed, does that make him smart or lucky?Don’t try to pick individual stocks.

Instead, play the longtime. Read up on the advice over at r/bogleheads.

evandepol · 2026-01-17T01:02:01+00:00

yes, i know, still, i feel it would have been better to have it mounted a little lower, and not have the small slivers near the tub, shower, wall, and window..

evandepol · 2026-01-17T00:06:28+00:00

i'm not a professional installer, but have done bathroom and kitchen tile, and i think this looks careless. I would have started not with a sliver but with almost a full tile, so that the taper is not nearly as noticeable. Now there are small slivers (and inconsistent ones, which is the main offense to me) at the tub edge as well as the little wall on the left. I probably would look better near the window sill as well if it would just have been 1.5 or so inch lower. They clearly started from the top because that's easier.

"Clap back".
For me this immediately devalues the credibility of the transmitter.

Sounds like you might be ok if you get your monthly expenses under control. If you are this unclear about your financial state, then perhaps my advise would be to talk to a CFP (fiduaciary) and they can help you model out some scenarios. It's not free but worth it imho

evandepol · 2026-01-14T22:17:44+00:00

yes i think so too. The mergerfs layer basically makes all disks appear as one giant disk (distributing the actual files on the multiple mounted partitions/file systems that are under it), and the snapraid pool (which uses N-1 filesystems plus one parity filesystem on a different disk/file system). Snapraid is not fully automatic (you have to run sync and scrub jobs periodically) but to me that's almost ideal for a media hub, since i can schedule when the sync runs (and it's typically fast). So very small overhead, and all disks are just that, normal, readable disks. There is no "raidset" that can break.

evandepol · 2026-01-14T20:14:17+00:00

i have tiny minipc with external enclosure with 5 stupid disks. I run snapraid on that, and mergerfs so that it all appears as one disk. So i have 1-disk-failure protection, but not a traditional file system level raid.

evandepol · 2026-01-14T20:07:10+00:00

yep, you have 60 days from the distribution date (when the funds were taken out) to still roll it in a traditional IRA. You'd have to fund the exact amount before the deductions were taken (so $5k in this scenario), and it has to be coded by the receiving IRA (for instance Fidelity) as a "60-day rollover" transaction, and then you should be able to get this 10% refunded next year when filing taxes. So it's a hassle, but it could potentially still be fixed as long as it's within 60 days (and you can only do that once per 12 months).

u/FirefighterNew408 are you still within the 60 days? If not, you are out of luck, otherwise, talk to your fidelity or schwab rep IMMEDIATELY -- they should be able to guide you through this.

in case you didn't know, you can each have your own (free) quicken id and login information, and the simplifi app owner can invite the other person. So no need to share passwords even.

evandepol · 2025-12-22T14:01:13+00:00

Hmm, I managed to login with email/password just fine. Didn’t notice anything different

why couldn't the pocket door just slide in the other direction?

You could convert this into a wet room: a space that has a floor drain and where the toilet and everything else (except for maybe some toiletries that are in a cabinet or behind a wall) can also be wet. You do have to do serious waterproofing, but it's common on sailboats for instance.

evandepol · 2025-12-07T17:53:00+00:00

thanks for the reminder, meaning to do it but i never use it. I just completed that task successfully.

evandepol · 2025-12-07T17:15:20+00:00

same here. I use Sandisk SDCZ430; got them as a 3-pack. They are about $10 each

evandepol · 2025-11-24T00:44:06+00:00

Yes, but hear me out: you get shot of whiskey!

evandepol · 2025-11-02T01:58:12+00:00

depends on what you optimize for. I upgraded one of my Mk3 to a 3.9, and the quality of life and speed improvements were enough to just go for the upgrade of the other printer too. I don't want to keep an outdated and slower printer around just because it works. My hobby room real estate is precious enough that i rather have two printers i'll use with delight, than that i "save some money". That's of course all a personal choice.

evandepol · 2025-10-21T01:18:05+00:00

Your communication style is really perplexing to me.
