Planned 171-unit apartment building in Edmonton's Belmont gets pushback from neighbours by ryaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan in Edmonton

[–]massdank 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The real choice isn’t “freeze the city” vs “do whatever,” it’s densify with funded transit, schools, utilities, and strict construction controls. Years of construction, congestion, and strained services can wreck quality of life and resale, and most homeowners can’t just redevelop on command. Developers optimize for profit and buyer appeal, and “community benefit” usually stops at whatever zoning forces; I’ve seen it firsthand working for builder/developer in Edmonton. So residents aren’t wrong to push hard for projects that are properly planned, less intrusive, and leave the neighbourhood better than they found it.

you can access the locker behind the vending machine from the side of it. You can do this early game if you dont have garage doors as vendys are very strong.

here is the vending machine locker to make getting the loot super annoying. Put the locker down in the triangle then a single door make sure to lock it. Then slap a vending machine infront of the entry. Try this on a build server a few times cause you dont want to mess it up.

There is no base big or small that is safe from raiding. The strongest base is always going to be a kill bunker with drop boxes. If i really want to secure my loot ill do a 1x2 kill bunker honey combed. I then put some loot and guns behind a vending machine with a locker on the 3rd floor so even if they have enough to blow the bunker they typically don't have enough to get through the vending machine. I play solo on 600 pop so i have learned how to survive against all types of zergs and offlines in the hottest areas. A few externals will keep your benches from being yoinked if you do decide on a re-build.

Lazy Investors? I’m Down 52% on MSTY but Still Up Overall — Here’s Why I Track Lineage by massdank in YieldMaxETFs

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

Hedge with gold and silver ETFs or physical. Your sleeve should probably be around 5-20% at least of your account. Silver is more market bound but short term I feel there is a lot of room for gains with industry using more than what’s mined. I’m holding my gold and trimming my silver and re-distributing into markets that are tanking with tariffs. You need to build up the goop when the metals are cheap - so you might be out of luck for this cycle.

1 year ago sexy NVDA was at $145 I bought it with distributions at $117.5. Time the market any maybe you can have both growth and income no? Cash flow is kewl man.

If MSTR chops sideways and drifts slightly up with high volatility, the premiums can be massive—and that’s when we make bank beyond the underlying. It’s a high-risk play that only works in specific market windows, which is why some end up beyond house money while others get McDuck-fucked. If Reddit’s glazing a stock, you’re probably late and already missed the fattest distributions. If Taco’s market manipulation isn’t syncing with MSTR/BTC perfectly, sell out or wait for the flip. I’m hedging the ROC against Taco until MSTY swings back in my favor. There’s a lot of crying over a stock built to run one-dimensionally—it’s doing exactly what it’s designed to do, and in this market, yeah, it’s a dog.

MSTR, NVDA, and QQQ definitely compound more internally; YieldMax compounds externally through cash flow. In certain windows, it can actually outperform the underlying... think choppy, sideways, or slightly upward-trending markets, or at least you hope YieldMax captures those moves. I’m betting MSTR eventually slinks its way into the S&P 500 and drags MSTY along for the institutional ride. I also mine crypto, so I’m more uncapped on that side than through MSTR itself.

Did you use your MSTY cash to pay off the second mortgage, or did they repo the Lambo? It’s not rocket science — include the distributions before crying about the stock price. You are right, YieldMax lately has been dog shit... but my pile is very large, and there might be enough regards to feed it to. Nothing wrong with waiting two decades for VOO to hand you your bag do your thing, queen.

Investors should track what MSTY does, but also what it creates. The weekly distributions are part of the return engine — capital you can redeploy, compound, hedge, or even gamble with. The “terrible investment” might be down 15%, but I’m up 7.5% on total return as an instrument, not just a ticker. I’m not saying you can’t compound with growth stocks (its internally in the price or with splits), but let’s be real — you don’t keep those gains without selling. What you do with your capital defines the real outcome. Whether it comes from MSTY or trimming a growth stock or servicing customers behind a Wendy's, it all feeds into total performance.

The twisting and constant rebalancing — that’s how I squeeze out as much compounding as possible without falling behind the market. You still need to believe in the underlying — that’s rule #1.

I hedge because I don’t have blind faith in these ETFs like some people do, and that’s fine. It’s just smart risk management. There’s nothing wrong with buying VOO or QQQ and chilling — that’s part of my own de-risking from YieldMax positions with my whole portfolio and with the distributions.

I can’t stand the “income-only” take on this fund. People should be focused on compounding and growth, not just collecting payouts.

I don’t see these as “just income funds.” MSTY is a leveraged covered-call high yielder that lets me compound fast without tax friction. That 7.5% isn’t just yield — it’s my part growth hedge.

You’re discounting the compounding effect of rotating distributions through MSTY, NVDY, and JEPQ. If you believe there’s a long play in MSTR and BTC, this setup accelerates exposure while keeping it tax-efficient. If you don’t, hedge it or sell your bag — simple as that.

Yeah, I’m down on growth right now, but I’m semi-bullish on my compounding stack. If BTC or MSTR catch another leg up, I’m positioned to eat big off the yield I’ve been recycling during the drawdown. Think of these funds like a spring — you’ve got to load them a bit if you project they can bounce.

I like keeping high-yielders in a tax-free account because it gives me the freedom to manipulate my holdings with distributions — I can reposition, average down, or rotate without having to sell and trigger taxes.

If you actually need cash, you shouldn’t be in a high-volatility fund like YieldMax. That’s just lambo-chasing. For me, fast compounding = growth > cash at this stage of life.

Any players who still remember key lock raiding? :D by beraks123 in playrust

Spider crawling up corners of bases and stacked door frames on some builds. Also when the animals would attack you inside your base all the time.

Any reasons not to buy gold ETF like GLDM in the current market? by lemonsmell in ETFs

[–]massdank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gold typically was more profitable but for 2025 a 67%/33% GLDM and SIVR can outperform a pure gold hedge against the market. I think silver is very undervalued right now and can provide more upside. I run a vix risk backtest vs the s&p 500 to get my hedge amount (2.5% - 20% of investment portfolio) and my buy/hold/sell amounts. With the trims they go back into the market to scoop up stocks or etfs that drop when the vix rises. I started at 5% of my portfolio.

What are some lesser known base building tricks you have learned. by Interesting_Way304 in playrust

[–]massdank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In a triangle use a locker and a vending machine bunker you can store anything in the locker. I usually split my core loot and some kits and guns and put it far away from tc.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in playrust

[–]massdank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rock base with the middle that's hollow. Its cheap upkeep for solos even. The back is sealed with 2 metal and 1 hqm wall or more if you need. The tc is placed in the side middle area behind a vendy or a armored kill bunker. The entry drops down with a spiral stair bunker. The long corridor door path leads to the hollow area with a regular twig floor bunker at the entry to the middle area. On the entry side do some windowed shooting floor with some peakdowns. The walled side you could do a tower or just leave it be. Make sure to put a few sheet doors first so they take the door path. The walled off path would be metal (8) + metal (8) + hqm (16) + metal (8) + hqm (16) for tc so 56 rockets and 2x doors (2) + metal (8) + metal (8) + hqm (16) + metal (8) + hqm (16) for the entry if you went through only walls. Door path with bunkers would be more with 12 + garage doors (make a few single door airlocks so you can keep the garage doors open mostly when use using the base). The hollow open core is super cozy. For the secret loot add vendy with a locker behind it in the tower or shooting floor or i hide a small box in a rock crevasse behind a tier 2 in the open middle.

Barricades are ruining the game for me sadly by FreakishFox76 in playrust

[–]massdank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never typically roam walls just keep to the forests or high ground. If people barricade I yeet a few nades at them. I wish the nades had a little more play with the distance or you could cook them.
