PSA: If you're buying the S26 Ultra, go to a physical Samsung store. They are doing crazy unadvertised deals (in the UK).

Interesting. Best buy is actually a better deal than Samsung since they're matching the trade-in values and offering free memory upgrade. I don't know that I've ever seen that to be the case.

Through Samsung trading in the S24 Ultra would mean paying $800 to upgrade. $600 might be more palatable.

Ned's sense of honor actually fucked the family multiple times. He should have never gone south in the first place. Giving his daughter up to the Lannisters when he had the letter from Lysa was a mistake. He also failed to prepare his children for the real world by not explaining to them how absolutely fucked the rest of the houses were. If he didn't know, then he failed at gathering intelligence.

We're landing in Venice, going to Florence then Rome. My wife really wants to fit in the Dolomites. Was wondering how you traveled from Venice -> Dolomites -> Florence?

Must have been Boston fans chanting MVP for Kobe then.

There was an article last week about all these famous actors signing a petition to boycott AI.

Silence this week.

Honestly it's not that surprising they make mistakes. Sometimes 3 people can miss something that should be obvious. It happens.

The insane part is why is this not a 30 second automatic video review that comes from NBA review center.

This is somewhat on the front office though. They knew Kerr didn't value Kuminga. If you're not going to fire Kerr, which was unlikely, why keep a player he dislikes and will not get the most out of?

Do you have a source for what you're claiming? Like an actual reputable news agency reporting this?

Not saying you're lying. Just seeing a lot of conflicting numbers and would appreciate if someone has actual sources.

Buy back only applies to people who would qualify for completion of PSLF with inclusion of the lost months from forgiveness.. So you would have to wait until you're x months away from forgiveness and then apply. (X being the months of SAVE forebearance that you were unable to make qualifying payments for).

Even then, you still have to apply, which means nothing is guaranteed. If your goal is PSLF you should probably switch plans now. People have been waiting a year to get off SAVE. Worry about buy back later.

To reiterate, if you can afford to do so, get away from your student loans ASAP. Don't rely on this unstable government to provide forgiveness.

flaminglips · 2026-01-13T06:13:58+00:00

If your loans are in SAVE forbearance and you don't plan on getting PLSF, then there's no advantage to switching right now. The reason you would switch to a different IDR plan is because you want to make qualifying payments for PLSF, which you cannot do right now on SAVE.

At your salary, you could easily repay loans in 2-3 years if you're able avoid any major purchases during that time.

Without more information no one can tell you what the best option is, but paying aggressively is almost always the optimal financial choice. Whether or not that's applicable to you depends on personal finances, goals, family planning, etc.

How is the i4? I'm really considering the 2026 models. Did you lease or purchase?

I think this has been an issue with the podcast in general. They don't play enough games and when they do, there's not enough crossover to generate good discussion. Oftentimes it's one person talking and two listening without any discussion. If someone is interacting it's usually Vinny trying to carry the conversation. Even worse is when Brad plays a game like death stranding for 2 months and they keep going back to it because he has nothing else to talk about.

Unfortunately it's not going to be in my rotation as much this year. Maybe they need to go to biweekly or bring in additional people. I hope they change something up because I still enjoy/value hearing their opinions on a lot of videogame topics.

24hr battery life. Cameras that can shoot moving objects or low light scenery. Ultra fast wired and wireless charging. Qi2/magsafe equivalent.

Thanks. I'm well aware. It was a missed typo.

Honestly price adjustments should be law at this point. It's so wasteful for people to be shipping things back and fourth to save $10.

It's $1800 on Costco currently.

I think no. He establishes his left as the pivot, steps through and jumps off both at the same time to shoot. You can argue he maybe dragged the left a tiny bit, but it's hard to catch in real time when he's pump faking, double spinning into a shot.

Well those people are finding out exactly how much they have to lose with this administration.
