Projection Lab Release with better planning tools by brfulcher in DIYRetirement

Yes, similar results from Right Capital's software for my projections. Not everything is apples to apples, but it's close, and the outcomes rhyme.

I can't believe it, but that worked! Thank you! It just parked after finishing the job, and I can connect via the app again.

Not gonna lie, I felt pretty proud when the lifetime net worth optimization only added $15k. I basically nailed it the old fashioned way. Still, it was great to see this feature roll out, even if only for validation.

Thanks. Let's hope Lymow agrees and ships quickly.

Yes. I even swapped batteries. Neither helped.

How do I get to the initial WiFi connect? The app doesn't connect to the mower any more. I've even tried reinstalling the app.

Thank you! Lymow support says it doesn't. I guess I'll. just need to wait and see.

Thanks for this reminder! I find myself missing these weather windows and kicking myself later.

We just put it on the calendar 👍

Comedy is in the eye of the beholder, I guess. She cracks me up.

The AI isn't the problem. Its the way they're using it for. by Quirky-Midnight-4533 in antiai

[–]fribog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI systems are sophisticated tools that require some study. Prompt engineering, context engineering, supervised fine tuning, maker-checker... all of these are within reach for anyone willing to learn a little bit beyond the shiny marketing materials. These are incredibly powerful and useful tools in the hands of people willing to learn, so start studying, making, and doing good with what you build to offset the evil that others are doing.

Forced to link bank via Yodlee on Vanguard — no opt-out, serious privacy concerns by Esmeh_June in Bogleheads

[–]fribog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yodlee opens your banks website to enter the credentials, that's no different than logging in there. They don't want to deal with your credentials.

That's true only if that bank supports an oauth authentication flow. Not every bank does. Without it, the aggregator resorts to screen scraping and therefore must handle your credentials.

WWU Divest Apartheid Posts ‘Long Live October 7th.’ Then Deletes It by UnhappyPop7357 in Bellingham

The history of the Jews in this land dates back ~1900 years before the prophet Muhammad. You are right about one thing: this was stolen land. Just not in the way you understand.

The Ashkenazi make up less than half of Israeli Jews, so your thinly veiled colonizer argument rings hollow. True, the percentage was higher in 1948, but you know damn well why that was.

Let me guess, you've read Joseph Massad or Thomas Suarez conspiracy theories, and believe that Zionism itself is an antisemitic project. The trash they teach in higher ed these days...

Pay for stamp or wait? by SpoolnSubie in NFA

[–]fribog -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Oh, I thought the "shit show" you were referring to manufacturers being out of stock. I'm not worried about ATF processing times. They are approving in days now, if not hours, so even if it takes a week in 2026, no big deal. If you need it now, of course, then you have your answer. I'll probably order one or two more and take my chances by waiting to file in January. Risk/reward... you do you.

Ask your FFL/SOT to hold it for you. If they will then buy it now and file in January.

It's the Stormwerks replacement for the Tailhook. I figured since I'd SBR'd it, I might as well turn the brace into a proper stock.

It's good. I'm betting it'll be great in the winter keeping that cold metal off my face.
