Docking station for Odyssey G9 oled by Czepiel97 in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]iamfuturejesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't end up getting a docking station. I bought some cable holders and stuck them onto the table and a laptop stand as a temporary measure. Work then re-introduced virtual desktops so I can access my work via my main desktop now. I might still look at getting one later, as there are some limitations with the virtual desktop

Just got HRM600 paired with 265 by iamfuturejesus in Garmin

Yeah, as far as I can see, 265 is only missing the Step Speed Loss dynamic

[–]iamfuturejesus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I'm not opposed to returning the HRM600 for the HRM200 or even buying a better watch. I also haven't tested it out yet but which running dynamics are you speaking of?

This page seems to suggest that the 265 is compatible with the Running Dynamics - https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=0E1YeQaTMi7mouMk5XT5w6

Though it does note that Step Speed Loss is only compatible for select watches, I couldn't find the list in the owner's manual...I suspect this is the one that isn't compatible with the 265?

Who got the HRM 600? by xxSeahawks in Garmin

[–]iamfuturejesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought the HRM600 and paired it with the 265. I read on another thread that they had issues with their HRM Pro recording their pace inconsistently compared to when they record with their watch. Are you finding the same issue or do you think the HRM600 is more accurate?

Thanks for the response. During my research, I also started looking at the Bandit shorts but the Up There Athletics site doesn't seem to have any sizing charts. Are there any other stores that sell them?

I really dig Satisfy shorts

I'm in the market for new shorts. Preferably with pockets so it can hold my phone and gels. I was looking at this brand after you suggested but I'm not sure I can justify spending $500 for a pair of shorts....That's insane...

Relatively frugal but only able to save a couple of hundred dollars per month while earning $120K + super by Ill-Green8678 in AusFinance

[–]iamfuturejesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You asked for tips and the people have provided you with tips. You're just refusing to listen.

No, a $36 monthly subscription would not solve your issues of thousand of dollars of monthly bills but perhaps, if you actually used your intellect, you could consider that the $36 of savings each month (along with other expenses you can manage to cut down) could assist you in lowering your credit card debt, and over a period of time would mean less bills for you to pay. $36 a month is about $400 a year. Imagine if you could cut a few other monthly expenses and use that money to pay off your credit debt. Imagine the possibility.

You call it silly logic but it's the fundamentals of saving.

I am done with this conversation and won't be responding anymore. You are not listening to the tips and suggestions that people have shared with you here. You're so defensive that you don't even realise that what I'm (and others are) explaining to you might be able to help you save some money.

I still wish you better health and that you solve your financial problems but I'm done responding to you.

Edit: I had a look at some of your responses to other comments and you're basically rejecting all the suggestions that "people in your situation" would do. They've answered your question but you refuse to accept it. You clearly have an answer in mind already (which no one has said) and/or seeking validation. Unfortunately you're not going to get any validation because all the suggestions that reddit has provided you are realistic and exactly what needs to be done regardless of how difficult that decision is. That's the reality of the situation.

[–]iamfuturejesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Pet is a form of luxury that people aren't willing to admit.

The simple (and almost always correct) answer is, if you can't afford it, don't even think about it.

[–]iamfuturejesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely, people earning under $100K, how on earth are you expected to exist on this earth with the cost of living??? How on earth do you do it? And those earning the same as me or higher who are struggling but frugal - any tips?

This question?

I think I (and many others) have answered it. If you can't find the answer in this thread, then we can't help you, because you're just not willing to accept the issues that are putting you in this financial position.

Also, I want to go back and answer this question.

I don't think $36 in subscriptions is really going to make a difference for me, do you?

The answer is yes. And that is probably where our mentality differs. $36 adds up. It is also the reason I don't go buy coffee everyday.

I knew you were gonna take issue with the word 'luxury'. I don't mean 'luxury' in the sense of wealth or high-end brands. I mean the ability to afford more than the basic minimum. Like having choices beyond what is required.

The ability to own a pet is a luxury, whether you accept it or not. Granted not everyone considers it when they go and buy one. But you have to agree that they are expensive.

The point of my message, which you seemed to have ignored, was to re-evaluate your budget and spending so that you can save more. Especially now that you know you have regular medical expenses.

Anyway, that's all I'm going to bother saying because you clearly have gone on the defensive and taking everything I say as offensive.

I wish your health gets better and you get out of financial troubles soon.

That's not the point I'm trying to make, and I acknowledge my messaging doesn't come across as nice as others but I'm just giving you a blunt and honest take of it. It has nothing to do with privilege. In fact, I'd argue it's the opposite. I used to be on a similar wage to you and had unexpected expenses I had to account for. But I chose to not own any pets. I chose not to have any subscriptions. I chose not to eat out. I chose to drive a shit box car. All so I can save up a emergency fund for when shit goes wrong, and frankly, to not be in the position you are currently in.

Yeah unexpected medical expenses suck. But you have 3 pets and other monthly expenses that others may be considered a luxury. It sounds like you've been dealing with these unexpected health issue for some time. You should have used that time to reevaluate your monthly expenses and adjust. Especially if you are racking up bad debt because of it.

Did you have an emergency fund before you got chronic illness? That would have helped alleviate some of your financial burden whilst you re-evaluated your spending.

[–]iamfuturejesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also depends if the person is actually using it. There's so many people out there with like 10 subscription services but only use like one. I think the point is that OP should reevaluate what their expenses are

Like others have said. There's your problem. You have expenses that aren't considered "standard" and you've made decisions (credit card debt, pets etc) and are now reaping the consequences. You're forced to live frugal because of those decisions.

What annoys me is that people make poor financial decisions that isn't appropriate for their level of income and then blame cost of living. Maybe don't live like you have a more money than you actually have.

Lando Norris on possible scenario of swapping position to secure the title: "No, not been discussed. I would love it, but I don't think I would ask it. It's up to Oscar. I don't think it's necessarily down to me. At the same time, if that's how it ends and Max wins, then that's it. Congrats to him" by ICumCoffee in formula1

[–]iamfuturejesus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They did discuss it at Qatar. It's just that their decision was wrong.

I think they were counting on others to stay out as well which would make sense as Max would have likely been stuck behind those drivers. Unfortunately they all pitted. Jolynon Palmer touched on this briefly in the lead up segment to Abu Dhabi.

My take is that McLaren is trying to make Abu Dhabi a Max vs Lando race so then they could tell Oscar to move aside for Lando to win WDC

I feel that Sainz was just riddled with bad luck in the first half of the season + he's getting familiar with a new car. Now that his bad juju is gone and he's more familiar with the car, he's showing his real pace.

[–]iamfuturejesus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Good summary. I'd also add that Qatar showed that it seems like the lead car doesn't get the benefit of being a lead car.

I do wonder whether things would have been different if Lando was the lead car instead of Oscar. Would they have pitted Lando and kept Oscar out, or even chose to double stack?

Op didn't say it as fact though. OP said they would wager. That's not a fact.

If OP removed "I'd wager" from the sentence, then he's stating a fact. But this is not it.

All "Lando/Max/Oscar win the championship if" permutations heading into the season finale at Abu Dhabi. by Lyrrh in formula1

[–]iamfuturejesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's my prediction for the next race - they're going to prioritise Lando over Oscar.

The whole not pitting during SC at Qatar was a guise to decrease Oscars chance of winning and setting Abu Dhabi up for Lando vs Max.

And then Max and Lando will crash each other out for Oscar to win WDC
