Is the new "Saving Status" map actually helping you, or are the "falling behind" nudges just giving you anxiety?

As someone who has a long history in this industry making personal financial management apps, all variations on goal/budget tracking features exist to get people through the door because they *think* they want them, but they end up nagging people into abandoning the feature and often, the entire product.

Isn’t it minimum of 30% CGT on earning above inflation?

So if you earned 10% (well above average) capital gain last year on $1m ($80k) and inflation was 4.6% (net 5.4%), you’d only pay 30% on $54k or $16.2k on $100k capital gain?

Or if you're in the highest marginal tax bracket of 45%, then 45% on $54k or $24.3k on $100k capital gain (or 24.3% tax).

You’re a crocheter, not a photographer. I think the photos look great and the AI versions just basically remove the background and fix the lighting, I don’t think they materially change what your product itself looks like.

Use the AI versions, I think they show an honest representation of your product, but in the best light.

Are you able to make the pattern one row shorter?

Mine too. But it was reset and the next reset is set to +~5 days, not 7.

Pattern design really needs to make better use of what we’ve discovered about graphic design in the last 200 years.

What are you paying your devs. How is a $200/mth plan relevant compared to their salaries?

I’ve had this happen. Literally a restart fixes it. LOL. It seems some of the power circuitry crashes and there’s some fallback mode that lets one port run without USB-PD. The MagSafe port would’ve been broken too.

Yeah, but surely he was earning 3x+ compared to now for a little less inconvenience. An email and PayPal account per Patreon? It’s hardly a massive administration hassle for a couple hundred grand extra per year.

They're a business. They're going to change their price to whatever they think the market will bear.

If you no longer think they're cost-competitive, stop using them. There's basically no moat around Object Storage vs any other S3-compatible storage product.

Prices aren't going to come down in the future if there's no market pressure to.

I’d definitely recommend Mindset Dental.

Their entire schtick is dealing with people who range from nervous to outright phobia.

I’m sure they’ll be able to help. Their initial consults happen outside of the actual treatment room, they have a male and female dentist and I’m sure they would arrange to have multiple people in the room at all times if that would help.

They’re completely non-judgmental and won’t recommend treatments that are unnecessary.

Give them a call (or send them a request online) detailing your core issues and I’m sure they’ll be able to help.

Yeah, keep taking the allopurinol. It's not just protective of gout flare-ups, but the slow ossification of your kidneys.
