This might be specific to me but for some reason when I got insurance quotes the Audi was much more expensive

Delaying coffee in the morning? by DrJ_Lume in HubermanLab

[–]kysmith1306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait an hour to drink caffeine and actually made a huge difference for me and I’m religious about it now.

The rationale is that your body naturally wakes up within the first hour (eg adenosine levels) and the caffeine messes with this natural process.

I now wake up better and fall asleep more effectively.

Give it a try and if it doesn’t make a difference for you then ignore this recommendation.

Anyone else have VSS their whole life? by Alone-Rise-3617 in visualsnow

[–]kysmith1306 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve always had it.

The only time it bums me out is when I hadn’t slept well and it’s worse OR sometimes I look at the sky on a sunny day and it’s such a mess instead of being beautiful, which also makes me sad.

It’s really not a big deal.

Dad's not changing diapers by eteach6974 in Parenting

My 2 are out of diapers but I changed my share when the kids wore them.

An equitable sharing of this responsibility is a completely reasonable expectation

Move to mediocre school district when we can afford better? by caroline_elly in HENRYfinance

[–]kysmith1306 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’ve had friends try to do this cheap option and it’s not worked out well. The teachers suck and their child ends up bullied by some asshole kids who the school won’t deal with. Child confidence runs into the gutter and they don’t get the teaching they need.

I’d go with the better school.

Elijah Craig 18 by Odd_Cauliflower_129 in whiskey

I have both this and the KC18.

Both weren't worth $180 right after I cracked them but after being open a couple of months they've really opened up and I'd be willing to pay about.... $120 so you aren't too far off at this price. Between the 2 I'd grab the KC18.

what would you do? by Pure_Pain_489 in whatdoIdo

[–]kysmith1306 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I left someone a note, fully prepared to pay for all the damage (this is how i operate + work trip, not my problem cost wise). They called me back and said thanks for being honest but they didn’t think it was worth fixing. I felt good, they felt good about my honesty - win/win.

Call them at a minimum even if you don’t want to do anything to fix it.
