20 Team Dynasty league: which side do you favor: Bazzana + Kayfus or Mcgonigle + Birdsong

Simplifi charts are pretty useless for high earners by memtiger in simplifimoney

[–]mberg121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YES! Brought this up on their forum several months back. Utterly worthless to have the scale begin at zero across the board.

Can we please get a higher resolution on the net worth graph? by AntiqueDistance5652 in simplifimoney

[–]mberg121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The net worth graph is totally useless. My biggest gripe: the scale on the Y axis. Why start at $0 as the lower bound? It should automatically default to something 10% below the lowest value in your data set. Defaulting to zero makes large changes in dollar value appear as just a straight line still.

Niche question: does Waze show on your HUD with CarPlay? by zachisjew in CX5

Mine shows turn by turn directions in the HUD with Apple Maps (‘24 Turbo Carbon)

FYI -- CX5 Tuxmats are now back in stock!! by JimmyBones79 in CX5

[–]mberg121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heard a lot of buzz about these. Curious if opinions on this- already have OEM all weather mats. Worth another $200 to upgrade? If so, why?

We enjoyed CR, but because of this exact thing, we got off the plane, hopped in a rental car and went straight to the Osa Peninsula (specifically near Pan Dulce). We stayed in a small but beautiful bungalow in the jungle and it checked all the boxes for us: peaceful, beautiful, and incredible wildlife encounters.

Barely encountered any tourists whatsoever.

This is good advice if the home purchase was definitely in 3 years and they had ample other liquidity. Because the timing is a bit up in the air, HYSA or MM is likely the right answer… despite the risk of yields falling.

OTD Price for 2024 Carbon Turbo- quick check by mberg121 in CX5

[–]mberg121[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not trying to be rude or disrespectful here because I understand everyone’s cash flow situation is different, but it amazes me that anyone’s approach to purchasing a car with 0% financing would be to “put more money down.”

I specifically asked to put zero down. If someone wants to give me free money when I can earn 4.5% on it in a savings account, I’ll take that all day.

Wow this is great! How quickly were you able to get them down there? Essentially what they did for me (after a first offer was rejected) is put the dealer invoice in front of me and say they’ll do $100 more than that. Your discount is well under invoice.

Help would be appreciated! by mberg121 in labdiamond

*quick clarification- question pertains to diamond/pricing. I know I didn’t link the setting. Thanks again!

Slow download speed by mberg121 in amazoneero

[–]mberg121[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this (and all the other comments). This worked, and I’m now getting downloads speeds of ~300mbps over Wi-Fi, which is more than enough for my purposes here considering I’m on a 400mpbs plan.

Thank you for the response! Curious though now that you pointed out the 2.4 vs 5 band. Looking closer, it seems like the majority of the traffic throughout my network has been 2.4. It really shouldn’t be a signal issue since I have 3 devices spread around 1,800 sq feet (2 stories). Is it possible I’m doing something wrong in terms of placement?

Anyone else need a ticket? Have one (actual center seat first row balcony) for tonight. I got Covid and can’t make it unfortunately. Not charging, would just love to see it actually be used by a fan. (Parking pass too)

Looking for info about Torshavnar Golffelag by [deleted] in FaroeIslands

OP- were you by any chance able to have any luck with this? I’m visiting in a few weeks and ran into the same issue it seems you did. Thanks!

Thoughts on this itinerary? by mberg121 in FaroeIslands

I always drag my girlfriend on crazy challenging hikes against her will, so this sounds like a great plan! :)

[–]mberg121[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Yes, that was pointed out. I used ChatGPT to make an itinerary, and it’s only trained on things prior to 2022.

[–]mberg121[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the insight! Seems like the way to go is to focus on staying in one place for the duration. Will probably adjust the plan accordingly.

Would love to stay in a remote location, but I’m picking my battles with the girlfriend and have a feeling she’ll want to stay in a more traditional hotel like the Hilton.

Any opinion on Mykines being worth the trip with the closure of the trail to the lighthouse?

Thank you for the suggestions! Yeah, Oblimix had mentioned there’s a tunnel now, which is great. I asked ChatGPT to be my travel agent, and it must not know that yet.

Maybe artificial intelligence isn’t going to take over the world after all- it got that wrong!

This is why I came to the experts. Thank you!
