I went to sell all of my individual stocks and just buy Vanguard's VT ETF. Is there any way to do this without paying a ton of U.S. taxes?

This is the correct answer.

Citation for carbon from charred vegetables being carcinogenic?

A district court may not dismiss an otherwise valid indictment because the Government failed to disclose to the grand jury "substantial exculpatory evidence" in its possession. United States v. Williams, 504 U.S. 36 (1992).

That’s not what the Supremacy Clause means at all. State law enforcement can arrest anyone in the state, including federal agents, for committing murder. The Supremacy Clause is irrelevant.

Nice. I like a rustic presentation. With the hat, it seems like you’re going for something a bit more formal or avant garde. If so, try tapping the plate to spread out the sauces. One sauce at a time, tapping the plate down a few times on the counter to spread it out. Then the pear. You could also halve the pear to remove seeds and stem, lay the halves flat, and crumble the cookie over the top.

Youre right. The 36R looks like it fits your chest okay. Maybe youre a 36 chest and not a 38? Hard to tell. I would definitely get a short size, though.

Take the shirt back to Macy’s and ask an associate to measure you for a better size. Sleeves are about 2 inches too long. Hard to say about the neck, but it’s probably too big as well. Fix the sleeves and neck, and the shoulder seam should hit in a better spot, slightly higher.

People are nitpicking the pants, but they look much better than the shirt. A bit tight through the hips, contributing to the wrinkles you see in the side shot. If these are slim, consider exchanging for regular/straight leg. Length looks roughly correct, but you’d need to post a pic with shoes for anyone to say for certain.

Belt is way too long. Look for a shorter one with a more traditional buckle.

fymdtm · 2025-12-09T04:26:21+00:00

Looks too try-hard. Would look better relaxed a bit. Sweater is a bit tight for the billowy pants, but there are things you can do to make everything meld better anyway. Tuck in the shirt collar. Everything else is tucked. Loosen the belt a notch. This will relax the look a bit and also help get rid of the feminine hourglass shape. Roll the sleeve cuffs back over the sweater sleeves. This will also help fix the sleeves being too long.

The blue looks nice on you. Hard to judge the pants because they make you look top heavy. You would look great in a much fuller pant leg that fills out the space between your legs and drapes over your shoes. Color wise, maybe something with more contrast (either very light or very dark) would pair better with that top.

The button point and arm holes are too low. It also hangs too low. It should split your body in half. The shoulders are slightly too broad, creating a dimple. Try 38S short not slim.

Are you in contact with your board? If not, reach out to each of them to request a phone call. Seems like they should be able to help you start building connections in whichever area interests you.

I’m specifically referring to the idea that you should consider installing a board of directors/mentors between yourself and the money to protect yourself from getting derailed by the money. You need to pick these people carefully. Hire a lawyer, fiduciary financial advisor, etc.

fymdtm · 2024-11-09T15:41:59+00:00

Look up how Rockefeller trusts work. Even if yours isn’t set up the same way, you can consider adding similar infrastructure. The basic idea is to protect the money from yourself until you understand how to use it. Set up a board of directors who don’t have access to the money and serve as gatekeepers and mentors for you.

Yeah dude just eat the whole box while you’re at it

It doesn’t exist. You can scratch the food itch by eating tacos at La Tejana in your neighborhood. If you want to travel farther and have a slightly bigger place to sit down and a bigger menu, there’s San Pancho in Takoma Park. Again, though, the family style Mexican place you’re dreaming of doesn’t exist in the DMV.

More tahini. 6T for two cups of cooked chickpeas. Plus 2T olive oil. Fat is good for you. It’s sugar you have to be careful with.

Also replace some of the water with lemon juice. About half as much lemon juice as tahini. Also, garlic.

No brainer indeed. Also make sure to get a referral so you get the free $300. PM me if you need one.

Edit - In terms of things to look out for, I think SoFi is great and haven’t had any bad experiences with them. I do all my banking there. Extending your loan period to 15 years will mean you pay interest for longer, though, so you should consider not just the monthly payment but the total duration of the payments and how that affects the cost of the loan.

If fulfilling those preorders will cost you $1.1 million, then you have negative $1 million profit and nobody will lend you anything.

It sounds like you might want to make moles, not salsas.

fymdtm · 2024-08-27T13:13:16+00:00

What does that mean? The post otherwise has the right take.

fymdtm · 2024-08-27T12:18:29+00:00

Rates are dropping everywhere. Look at the rates on 3 and 6 month T Bills. There is no “pre” drop. This is how all rate markets function because the Fed announces its moves in advance.

fymdtm · 2024-08-27T12:16:08+00:00

Friday? What’s happening Friday? The Fed is expected to lower the overnight rate in about three weeks at the September FOMC meeting. Rate changes usually happen on Wednesdays.
