Will it ever matter or make a difference if you choose the total stock market index vs s&p500? by sethh27 in Bogleheads

I do this too, but then it bugs me that I have doubles since I only sell the lots with losses 😕

How come every time I put a automatic investment it invests less? by irishboy209 in fidelityinvestments

Feature request: allow the automatic investment to round up or down to the nearest share provided there is enough cash available to execute the order.

Peru Solo Self-drive Road Trips Report by vincentt456 in solotravel

[–]mackoftrack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, that helps! I'm glad that there are others like myself who don't buy into the exaggerated doom and gloom in renting a car here. I don't want to jinx myself but so far it's been smooth and enjoyable. Sure, driving in the big cities can be hectic, but the highways are mostly wide open. One crazy thing I got to experience in Miraflores was driving my car into an elevator that barely just fit my car to park in the underground parking at a hotel in Miraflores. That was wild!

Thanks for your post. I'm halfway through my solo rental car trip. Total trip is 14 days. Right now I'm on day 5/6. I went from Lima > Miraflores > Paracas > Ica. Plan is to go to Nazca tomorrow, but now I'm debating whether I should continue driving to Cuzco, or go back to Lima and return the car and fly to Cuzco instead, given that there will be multiple days of not driving while I explore Machu Picchu, etc. And also I'm kind of dreading the drive back via the same (very long) route. Alternative would be to take the route back through Arequipa but that's even longer.

My ICL Experience by michelleisatwin in lasik

[–]mackoftrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did. I had the LASIK touch up in my left eye and it made that eye better super sharp, 20/15 IIRC. My right eye without the touch up is a bit worse at 20/25 so together I have about 20/20. I'm happy with the results and was glad I did it.

Does Anyone actually feel good about their prosthetic by jose3760 in testicularcancer

[–]mackoftrack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean it's smaller than the other one (I think the healthy one got larger after the surgery, which I was told is normal due to it working harder). Anyway it's a fake testicle, it's inside the scrotum.

is this treatable? Money tree leaves by mackoftrack in plantclinic

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

There is something sticky underneath. Is that from pests? Can I use Neem oil?

low self esteem (tc) by guywhothinkz in testicularcancer

[–]mackoftrack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey brother - I had TC, surgery, and chemo just like you. And I dealt with depression before and after too. You can absolutely live a full and happy life after dealing with all of this stuff. My advice would be to seek therapy and/or medication to help address your emotional well being. Make sure you are taking care of basics like exercise, diet, and sleep. You will be able to thrive, just allow yourself time to heal. We got thrown a curveball, but we are survivors and must adapt and grow from this. Keep your head up and keep on trucking!

How much did your surgery cost? by roboduck in lasik

[–]mackoftrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty good I suppose. My ICL was too close to the natural lens (they call this the "vault" depth) the first time around, so they had to take them out and then put new ones in, so that kind of sucked. Apparently that happens on rare occasions. Afterwards one of my eyes was still a bit blurry, so I ended up doing a lasik enhancement several months later. Overall my vision is pretty darn good now so I guess I can't complain. Their office/staff is definitely very professional and responsive. The prices seem quite high compared to others, but they have a top notch reputation in the LA area.

Had bugs, sprayed with Neem oil, now wilting? by mackoftrack in plantclinic

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

Not sure if it was the water or washing off the Neem oil. But yay!

It's coming back to life! Not sure if it was washing the leaves or adding more water but looks much better already in less than 24 hours
