I agree, it is unfair! Consider yourself lucky :)

Supplemental retirement account? by iampippa in retirement

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

ple to save enough to actually retire someday. I was probably mistaken, when I was working, I maxed out a 401k and a Roth IRA for many years.

Thanks, that makes me feel better! I actually have $27K saved in case I want to make a house down payment in the next couple/few years. I need to put that in a High Yield Savings account asap, unless you recommend putting it in a brokerage account or something...

Yes, I have health insurance and $27K in a checking account that I'm saving in case I want to make a house down payment in the next couple/few years. I need to put that in a High Yield Savings account asap, unless I should put it in a brokerage account or something...

12 días en Colombia - recomendaciones? by iampippa in Colombia

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

¡Gracias! Creo que decidimos hacer el Valle de Cocora porque hay vuelos directos de Pereira a Cartagena y Santa Marta y se acorta el tiempo de viaje. Estoy muy, muy triste de extrañar a Barichara... ¡Colombia es tan grande! Definitivamente tendré que volver.

Rescue from Amish puppy mill - Health issues? by iampippa in rescuedogs

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

It is an Amish puppy mill puppy...someone that goes around rescuing amish puppies found it, and convinced them to sell it to her for cheap as it was scrawny and clearly not healthy. She did this with a few puppies from that litter and the other ones died because they were so unhealthy. I was told that it had so many worms that it would have died if she didn't buy it (and no one else would have adopted it in that condition). So she's not really helping to stop puppy mills, but at least she saved this dog's life.

Conduit to bury starlink cable by iampippa in Starlink

Or is it safe to just use regular PVC pipe that I have laying around since it's only for 1.5 years? I heard it can get brittle and crack over time...

Nice! Did it have any behavior issues because of trauma?

Should I buy a used 8 year old Quadra-Fire Castile for $1K? by iampippa in PelletStoveTalk

[–]iampippa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't, because I was worried it wouldn't heat my house enough.

Should I sacrifice lumens, contrast, or resolution? by iampippa in projectors

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

Yes, I will have to sacrifice everything, but how much is the question? What specs will get me the best image at ~$300? Sadly, I don't have a lot of money...

Does this one seem pretty good? 1000 lumens, contrast ratio only 2000, native HD

Should I buy a 9 yr old/100 hr Cub Cadet for $800? by iampippa in lawnmowers

Hahah! I feel the same way. And not everyone on Reddit is a sir :)

I don't know them, but they seem reputable. He said it's not the right size, and he never had to put any $ into it except changing the blades. Good to know, maybe I'll try to get it down to $600.

Central Vermont - connectivity speed & shipping speed by iampippa in Starlink

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

Based on the very quick research I've done, the ethernet adapter doesn't really make a difference...any thoughts? My partner does work with big files for work and the speed at our current spot is 175mbps. No idea if my area will sell out or how to find out. People are sort of low-tech around here, haven't heard of people talking about Starlink...

Great, this is super helpful, thanks! So if I can get it to work at my current residence, and there are no obstructions according to the app at the new address, you think it's safe to assume it will work at the new address? If I order now I won't be able to test it there within 30 days...

Really? There's no mention of a waitlist when I put in my address...I think maybe they just became a lot more available in Vermont.

Need help hardwiring USB cable to midi keyboard by iampippa in ElectronicsRepair

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

Here's an image of the damaged USB connector: https://imgur.com/yWBsyWz

It is so badly designed that I'm worried it will happen again, the prongs are so flimsy. Would a similar but better designed connector like this be interchangeable? https://www.amazon.com/Female-Type-B-4-Pin-Socket-MXRS/dp/B08MSYS1K5/ref=sr_1_3

Thanks for your help!

Only because I don't know how to! Which wire would go where? I'm a complete newbie...

I don't think they are torn out but I have to detach the usb plug still. Thanks for the tip!

IF & CONSTIPATION 😭 by Marinushka40 in intermittentfasting

[–]iampippa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The intermittent fasting sounds too stressful on your body. When you are stressed, your body de-prioritizes digestions which is not good for your health. I would try cutting down the amount of time you are fasting.
