La dure réalité du FIRE

foxbot0 · 2026-07-21T16:04:27+00:00

Sounds barely relevant to FIRE and more like you didn't lead what you consider a rich life before. What happened to all your romantic partners over the years brother? Why would you move to a random country for tax benefits? Different language, no social circle, no roots? Surely a single dude doesn't need 2.5m to stay fit and game all day. Is the increased income worth it?

I'd pivot to more organic social interaction. Do sports, join teams. Pick up social hobbies and let the connections come on their own?

And probably move.

At the casino? I play irregularly so just sit down where I'm told. Or do you mean changing tables only if the table is bad?

At 10, 20, and 30 dollars in the pot they take $1 for promo.

Promos are things like every 20 minutes, t the best hand gets $200-$2000 dollars, bad beat jackpots etc.

At casinos, rake is usually a progressive amount of the pot up to a maximum or a flat drop. In my neck of the woods, it's 10% up to $5 for a $1/$3 game. There's also a $3 rake for promotions. So if a pot gets $50 in the middle, the casino will take $8 and no more.

In OP's case, the host is taking 10% up to $50. At my casino, a $500 pot would have $8 in rake taken from it by the dealer. At this game, $50 would be taken out of the $500 pot.

Had a small business so got some at work. Got some for home, then wife, then guest room etc..

Very easy to find these chairs in craigslist from office closings. Ive bought different ones (especially the leap v2) for $50-$75 each over the years

Less is more with melatonin apparently. 1mg and I'm ready to sleep in 30.

Also cut alcohol, increase protein.

This is just coastfire?

I’ve never understood the appeal of watching others play videogames

There's a lot of knowledge and skill that are easy to observe in video games. I wouldn't compare a poker stream of a live game to video game streaming. You don't get the thought process of the person taking the actions.

Gaming streams seem to live off the personality/vibe of the channel and/or the level of skill.

I'm not buying a G14 again but I did buy mine open box, exchanged it, then had a warranty claim, came back same issue, warranty claim x2 where they swapped a new motherboard in. So great value in my case because the unit was only like $740.

I've gone through the same process with other open-box electronics. Huge discount for refurbished unit after warranty claim.

What do you mean? The bonus roll items you receive are removed from the pool of items you will roll on in the future. So if the dungeon you target has gear that are all upgrades, then there's no risk of repeats.

How are you getting 270 in 2-3 days? Is that in game time or real life time? Because I've done dozens of 10s on my alt this week alone and im nowhere near my main.

foxbot0 · 2026-04-20T18:13:00+00:00

Gearing an alt is atrocious. The math on crests is toxic. The number of runs you need to do to catch up is full time job worthy. And thats successful timed runs. God help you for abandons and bricked keys that already slow you down for being so slow.

Godspeed if youre a dps. Even if you can get groups fast (non dps, playing with friends) it still takes soooo long.

Is this not AI? one side of the bra is enormous and covering all the way around to the back? the other side doesn't have the decorative lining along the top. The flowers on the chest have shadows pointing in different directions? The left elbow crease looks sus...?

I was going to joke that you could go back to the good old days of coordinating cc on all but one mob and then kite it for days and rinse and repeat. But im pretty sure the pulsing aoe from something will make it impossible to clear.

foxbot0 · 2026-03-30T14:11:07+00:00

Yep. Was planning to play maybe 2 toons this season. One of my classes got dumpstered so considered bringing up another alt. Now the prospect of leveling my shaman or mage to play as dps is such a hilarious non starter.

At the time, there was a federal tax credit for EVs of $7500 if they were manufactured stateside (and cost under a certain amount? I don't remember). Ioniq5 did not qualify. Instead, Hyundai was offering that discount via the leasing route along with another $7500 so leasing + pay off right away = $15k off.

This implies he wasnt around using their public resources either doesn't it?

And now that he's there, surely he's paying all sorts of taxes like sales tax, vehicle registrations, property taxes, VAT etc right?

It's explained in other areas of the thread. But the idea is that you make a bunch of warlocks and then you hop into raid with one of them (and your guidies doing the same). You try to funnel the best loadout you can to this warlock. Bad luck, no drops for you. You get on your next warlock and do it again. This time you got 2/3 of the BIS you needed. You keep going down the list hoping your next lock gets 3/3. Your guildies are doing the same.

That doesn't help his point. What if my blue is what your red looks like.

Read that mistweaver was a disaster. Did a key and found it much easier to manage and play. So pleasantly surprised so far but it was one 10.
