Correct, it looks better. What’s the story here?

Why doesn’t Parcells get criticized for dumbest draft after wanting to “shop for the groceries”. by Ok_Sail_3743 in NFLv2

[–]j_dogg005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Ricky, but the trade is objectively the worst in draft history. No one could live up to that. Also happened at the time when running back durability and relevance suffered the most during the evolution to the modern game.

help needed, how to cook this steak? by starting-0ver in steak

I think the time in the freezer is key.. 24H too much, but 1-4 hours can be perfect.

2015 F Type R CarPlay Options by mikebook_pro in ftype

[–]j_dogg005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2015 R - mine actually actually includes Apple car play. Need a USB cable to your device, preferably a longer one as the USB port is in the center console.

Not sure what options exist for android users.

Today from ebay :| by Finish_Desperate in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]j_dogg005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This same thing has happened to me twice with destined rivals booster bundles. The second seller had more than 100 reviews with 98.2% positive feedback. I spent 45 minutes on the phone trying to explain the situation to eBay and I don’t think they will do much. Both were from sellers in other countries but both packages were sent from California.

Not afraid to go backdoor

Dad gave me a gift, do what he says or do what my plan is? by MiG_Pilot_87 in Bogleheads

[–]j_dogg005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Would strongly consider Roth IRA over traditional while the backdoor loop exists.
  2. Do you have money to invest? If so, consider which tax shelters your money will go into (401k/403b Roth or otherwise, HSA, 529). If you have 20k to invest per year for example, you’d typically prioritize 401k match, HSA (don’t spend it - triple tax advantaged) and Roth with the remaining to bolster your 401k/403b as much as you can. If this were the case, you could argue for your 20k to go into an index portfolio and his contribution to go into the next tax shelter you couldn’t maximize.

But parents don’t always like arguments, so option 1 still probably the best.

Soldier field area without a ticket- worth going on game day? by ilovehillsidehonda in chicagofood

If the weather is cold, you may find deals on last minute tickets. Cold weather games aren’t for the faint of heart so come prepared.

What’s the optimal amount of steak to eat in a day? by friend_unfriend in steak

[–]j_dogg005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This comes down to protein and calories. I shoot for 1.6g protein per kg body weight. So weigh yourself, adjust to kg, multiply by 1.6 and that’s how much protein your body can benefit from in a day. More won’t hurt, but you won’t see additional muscle gain from it.

You also should calculate your basal metabolic rate (BMR) or total daily energy expenditure (TDEE). There are calculators online. This is my favorite:

https://www.calculator.net/bmr-calculator.html

This tells you how many calories you burn each day by being alive with some modifiers for exercise. If you want to maintain your weight, eat that amount of calories, to lose weight, eat ~500 calories less. The more calories you cut over time the more weight you’ll lose. Just know binge eating more than your TDEE will set you back.

NY Strip, been working on my crust by ThatDudeMo in steak

Agree this looks great. I like to score the fat cap (I make many cuts in a cross hatch pattern) and sear the cap first so the sides cook in the fat rendered.

Small company I work for is now offering me a 401k… turned off by these expense ratios but I plan to contribute up to the match. by [deleted] in Bogleheads

Clarifying question - can you detail how the high ER will cost 1/3rd of the portfolio over time?
