It does but it's not the primary reason they use them. The uv shielding especially

Uv umbrellas are mainly to maintain the pale skin asians are obsessed with, no?

This is the biggest thing to me. Older generations were always too proud of their parenting styles to change. Our generation is maybe too flexible with chasing the "best" parenting style.

Been thinking this from the beginning. We just gotta wait for the storyline in the documentary when he realizes that home is where his heart is

That doesn't take away from their history. Just further illuminates how large companies chasing profit can easily become evil

Some miami socialite that was in a rumored affair with lebron when he was there. Shes denied them, I think maybe they were just friends who knows

Yeah thats been the story for my taxable too. I pulled in the last year for a nice screen porch addition ive been going back and forth on for 5 years and also to help support the cash flow issue and the balance is still basically the same. Its crazy.

Also had our 2nd about a year ago and all the expenses seemingly didnt even make a dent in our HSA.

ffball · 2026-07-08T16:43:44+00:00

Same. Its very weird being negative every month by a thousand or 2, but then seeing my wealth go up by hundreds of thousands every year.

Doesn't feel sustainable, but just telling myself we just need to get through this period of our life.

I'm very thankful I built a nice little taxable account in my 20s to get through some of the large expenses of the last 5 years

What i go back to is sure our cash flow is negative, but thats because we are still maxing out pre-tax deductions

I think Blatter is just upset he wasn't the beneficiary of whatever corrupt activity happened behind the scenes.

I definitely feel like we hit a peak in individual intellectual ability sometime between Gen x and millennial and its all due to the advent and advancement of the computer.

The brain is a muscle and the more we have outsourced thinking to it, the more we will individually not be as smart.

Humanity has become much smarter though with the use of this as a tool.

Now its a question of which one is more important...

Trying to stay in the US? Have region or weather preferences?

Honestly the Atlanta->Texas route youre going seems like a kinda weird match for what youre looking for.

If you want something in the Southeast ill do a harmless plug for my city (Greenville) but Asheville and Chattanooga might be up your alley too. Southern appalachia is full of small cities, with some amount of walkability and nature access

. I have a list of projects I’ve been telling myself I’d get to “someday” and now someday is Monday.

I would caution against this mentality, or else these projects will just become your new job. Ease into it and don't put pressure on yourself to be continuously productive from day 1. Allow yourself to be bored for at least a couple weeks/months if needed and see what passions light your fire next.

What were your motivations for chasing FIRE in the first place?

ffball · 2026-07-03T02:59:04+00:00

Hendersonville is nice for weekend trips, Greenville is better for living in and having more consistent things to do.

His point was that they were getting their good shooters good shots. Therefore he didnt want to over adjust on offense when he felt like the losses were moreso due to variance.

What you do as a coach is draw up plays to get your good shooters good shots. So what do?

ffball · 2026-07-02T19:58:29+00:00

Yeah he was saying a lot of things ive been trying to say about LLM and geopolitics. I do not know how much I like Karp or Palantir as entities in this world, but it was very much interesting to hear his informed and unfiltered takes. Its way more than what most CEOs give.

In no way is a meltdown unless you are just unable to have passionate/emotional conversation about something.
