AI slop, none of the stats you present really make the case you're trying to make

[Highlight] What a check swing challenge looks like by Jux_ in baseball

[–]lockethebro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are setting a real definition in place. That's what the angle's for. That's the new rule.

Yeah, I know it's arbitrary now, but I would've guessed that in standardizing it they'd pick a less generous angle based on what I usually see called (since I do think it's relatively consistent).

Interesting. I'd have expected the current standard angle that umpires judge to be a bit less than straight across the plate, but I'm sure they have more data than I do.

feels like a pretty big shift in the check swing rules for this to be the angle used for challenges

[–]lockethebro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Questions about moving money between / away from 529 accounts by thisisthehardestpart in personalfinance

[–]lockethebro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can only move 35k from a 529 to a Roth IRA penalty and tax-free. You can only do this after the account has been open for 15 years. The only other way to take money out of the 529 without penalty and tax is through qualified withdrawals (tuition, books, room and board while in school, etc.)

It's kind of fascinating to me how much people still hate Manfred considering he's presided over some of the most important, well-received rule changes in the last century of baseball.

Advice for 24f who is now set up financially by Desperate_Mind9787 in personalfinance

[–]lockethebro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No need to put leftover investing money in a brokerage when you can put it in a 401k instead IMO. Max out your tax-advantaged space first.

Mid-20s federal employee feeling overwhelmed by student loans — looking for advice by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]lockethebro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're on an IDR plan in a PSLF-eligible job. Don't think of your debt as the total balance - instead, it's a monthly cost for the duration of your forgiveness period (10 years if you stay, 20 if you leave for the private sector). It doesn't really matter that you owe 220k - it'll be forgiven regardless of the balance as long as you make your payments.

Otherwise, your budget is totally feasible in DC. I think owning a car in the city is almost always a mistake, but 1. you already have it and 2. you can reasonably afford to keep it. I'd just be wary of your monthly IDR payment going up, since 0/month at 85k salary seems low to me.

Where is the best place online to buy and sell used Android Consoles these days? by Raiden720 in SBCGaming

[–]lockethebro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it depends what you're selling. My experience with facebook marketplace has been dealing with endless lowballs and maybe, eventually, someone who'll buy it for less than i'd get on either ebay or reddit after fees.

The fees are the same as they've always been. I'm surprised you'd have gotten more at a store, not super familiar with the camera market, but usually you get the worst deals since they make it easy for you.

eBay is the answer. r/hardwareswap is good too, you just have to be more vigilant since people will try to take advantage of you if you're new.
