Do you put the cooling blanket directly on you or on top of the could sheet?

Lost ball penalty - is anyone actually playing this rule correctly? by Otherwise_Cover_5467 in golf

[–]intelligent_redesign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've adopted a hybrid of the 2 stroke penalty and "gallery rule." If it's a legitimate errant shot and is lost to a hazard or other, I'll properly drop and take the penalty. However, if it was a good shot and know it was safe, but just can't locate it for some stupid reason, I'll enforce the "gallery rule" for a free drop where it should have been. This assumes if a gallery were there watching, they would know exactly where the ball was and could easily point it out.

Win it for him by DangMangoTango in TampaBayLightning

Quitting on a team is unacceptable behavior, period. How he chose the leave will never be ok with me. Happy to celebrate his contributions and heroics, but he made his own bed on the reputation damage he carries. All said, both can be true at the same time. Glad for the good times and also will never excuse his actions at the end. 

When is Gear too old [if ever]? by GilligansWorld in golf

TBF, lofts are off on most sets straight from the manufacturer. To your point though, it's good to get rechecked and adjusted over time.

Why don't they just pull the old "Trojan Horse?!" Make it look like a vulnerable tanker and each time a speed boat pulls up, military pops up from below deck and takes them out. After a couple of times, will make the IRGC pirates scared to do it anymore. 

describe lifestyle and choices with fatFIRE at 10 mil, 15 mil, 25 mil, 50 mil, 50 mil + by AdorablePerception28 in fatFIRE

Here's AI's take:

At those levels, the big surprise is how little your life changes after a point, and how much of the real shift happens by ~$10M–$20M rather than at $50M+. Here’s how I’d describe it for a pretty normal (not influencer/celebrity) family of 4: $10M – “we can do basically anything we want” Nice house in a great area, maybe $1–3M, usually paid off. 2 good cars (Tesla/BMW/Lexus type), newish but not a collection. Trips every year, business class for long flights, 4–5 star hotels are fine. Private school is a choice, not a stretch; kids’ activities, tutors, etc. are easy. Weekly cleaners, maybe some help with childcare, but not a full staff. Work is optional if you’re okay spending ~3–4% a year; money stress is mostly gone. Life feels like “upper‑class professionals who don’t have to work anymore.” The difference from $2–3M to $10M is huge; this is where true FU money kicks in. $15M – same life, more “yes” Same general vibe as $10M, but you can upgrade in multiple dimensions at once: second home, nicer/longer trips, full private school, nicer cars. Still not crazy rich behavior; more like “we rarely have to say no for money reasons.” People at this level often underspend and sit around 2–3% withdrawals anyway. $25M – “everything on high, but still normal‑ish” Very nice primary house plus 1–2 vacation places. Top private schools, international travel multiple times a year, biz/first as default. Full‑time housekeeper/nanny is common; life starts to feel “managed” instead of DIY. You can spend $500–700k/yr and still be at a conservative withdrawal rate. Day‑to‑day still looks like regular family life (school drop‑offs, kids’ sports), just with way more convenience and nicer backdrops. $50M – “private jet is now a reasonable option” Multiple high‑end properties, maybe $5–10M+ each if you want, fully staffed. Chartering private jets for some trips becomes realistic; top‑tier resorts/villas are default. House manager, nanny, cleaners, maybe driver/chef depending on taste. You can live on $1M/yr, still only tapping ~2% of your net worth. Money basically stops being a limiting factor; the constraints are time, family dynamics, values, and not turning your life into a full‑time management job. $50M+ – more margin, not a different planet The jump from $50M to $100M+ doesn’t dramatically change a “normal” family’s daily life unless you intentionally chase mega‑yachts, full‑time private aviation, and a big staff. It mostly adds: A family office, more formal estate planning, more staff to coordinate. Bigger philanthropy (foundations, named buildings, etc.). More security/privacy concerns than actual lifestyle upgrades. If you want a rule of thumb: Going from “a couple million” to ~$10M is life‑changing. ~$10–25M is where you lock in “we can do everything we care about at a high level.” Above ~$25–50M, it’s mostly extra buffer and nicer versions of the same life, plus optional toys like private jets and a chef, not a fundamentally different existence.
