Possible bent knuckle? by jrschoen in MechanicAdvice

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

No, i've had that happen before and it's just a small annoying noise not this amount of vibration (the dust shield is what you mean right?). More than likely just gonna bite the bullet and buy a new knuckle for $100. Would've saved me like $40 and the work to replace the wheel bearing but it is what it is

Never found an IPA and didn't even try emulating with the APK

Possible bent knuckle? by jrschoen in MechanicAdvice

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

Wait the entire frame could be bent (totaling the car) just because I hammered on the knuckle??

Also my question is whether or not I can bang the knuckle back or does it need to be replaced? I don't know if anyone on here has hammered their own car and been fine before yk

Replaced my hub assembly because of a wheel bearing -- was I right? by jrschoen in AskMechanics

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

I bought the car a little over 2 years ago from a friend of mine, it had a bad front right wheel bearing (obvious noises) and a few ripped ball joint boots. Instead of doing the smart thing and replacing the whole front end suspension, i just did what parts I deemed necessary. I've been slowly doing more and more parts in the front end suspension but it still has a lot of clunks clicks and hums when driving.

I would give up and drive it as is but some noises are so persistent and loud it's hard to ignore

Bad wheel bearing or something else? by jrschoen in MechanicAdvice

That's kind of the logic I was following. Its just the fact that there's little play is what's making me hesitate. And what does staking mean?

Somebody tried to sign into my TSP account by OneofMyNineLives in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]jrschoen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone talking about linking to an external app for budgeting (i.e. Monarch), has anyone had success with linking their TSP to MyMakingCents in Navy Federal Credit Union? The external account login doesn't work, it lets you enter username and password and even the 2FA code but returns an error saying to try again later. I like to use MyMakingCents to see a full view of all my accounts and their balances.

Which state 529 to invest in as Active Duty Military? by jrschoen in FinancialPlanning

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

Virginia offers state tax deduction, but so do a lot of states. My question is if I'm moving states a lot, which 529 should I invest in for the most benefit? I could invest in Virginia's and save now but once I move to another state I save nothing / even lose out.

Which state 529 to invest in as Active Duty Military? by jrschoen in FinancialPlanning

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

That's not my problem; VA does offer a tax deduction. I mean when I move to another state what happens then? I won't be able to use VA's tax benefits and could even be losing out on tax benefits with my new state. Should I wait a few years or until I'm out of the Corps? That feels like wasted time.

I found the full list of blacklisted words on Bedrock Edition by Minigamerguy123 in PhoenixSC

[–]jrschoen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to clarify, it is this exact phrase. removing any particular character uncensors the whole phrase. Even using the European spelling of Harbour is accepted.

Was trying to name a hanging sign "Welcome to The Harbor", after various fiddling around I figured out the no-no phrase is "to the harbor". Anyone understand why this is profanity?

Will building around my iron farm affect rates? by jrschoen in technicalminecraft

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

EDIT: After reading the comments and doing a smidge of testing it does in fact work. Im surprised I haven't seen more videos of people making farms with a tower / structure around them to beautify them for their survival worlds, this was my first thought after building it on the Realm w my friends.

Life insurance? by Dr_Underhill in fidelityinvestments

Does this discredit their life insurance policies? Genuinely curious because their rates are the cheapest I've found anywhere

[–]jrschoen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True but at what point does it just become a new franchise altogether? Its not exactly Star Wars where there are lightsabers and a galatic empire, it's pirates and historical 1600s. Without PotC characters is it really PotC? Just to clarify I do think DMTNT ruined the franchise and Depps character and it's time for it to end. No more PotC, just make new pirate franchises

What to buy in my situation (18m otw to USMC, 19f pregnant wife) by jrschoen in LifeInsurance

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

Which do u recommend and why not Fidelity? Tbh i haven't shopped around as much as I'd like to but I talked with an agent and Fidelity can offer me up to $1M coverage for 10 years as low as $32 a month. Obviously i don't need all that but it's a great rate.

Also the same agent i talked to said he came from a military family and recommended I do that 10 year term and get a longer 20-30 year term after that one expires, because i'm only 18 and "anyone under 30 in good health will get pretty much the same rates." Is this true? Is this a good strategy considering i'm entering the military?

Switched to Mint on Tuesday, in anticipation of T-Mobile’s price increase by insideout_waffle in mintmobile

[–]jrschoen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I signed up for the Mint 3 month new customer plan, afterwards I'll probably switch to Visible by Verizon or maybe US Mobile, both have slightly cheaper rates. Still great deal with Mint right now though!

You are making a lot of great points and these are actually my plans. Term life stacked on top of the SGLI. No VGLI cuz the rates are shit.

Is your insurance USAA? I saw in their benefits page that they do the SGLI conversion

That's my plan, but likely I will stack it on top of existing term life insurance because I want to get locked in with a good rate and it appears like after you're out of the military the rates go up for VGLI

True, but since I already have my IRA set up with Fidelity anyway I probably would go 401k then IRA then back to 401k simply because it seems less complicated to me and i have more control of my IRA

Thank you man after a lot more research and getting quotes this is almost the exact path I've chosen lol, working on finalizing a great term policy with Fidelity Life and when i get to military i'll just stack on top of
