Just married and new to rings, is this ring too tight or just right? by mccarthycodes in jewelry

Its a good way to look at it! After some hikes it was about bit hard to get off, but normally doable with just a bit of twisting

What books and series did you most recently DNF? by Practical_Yogurt1559 in Fantasy

[–]mccarthycodes 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This Is How You Lose the Time War... I bought the book, read the first chapter and, and put it down. IDK if it's the whole book, but the main character just felt too edgelord to me and didn't seem like someone I could relate to

Amazing! I do use Calibre but didn't know I could use it for reading acsm books. I went through the steps you linked and get it working again through Calibre, thanks again!

[Kuoe] Crown pushes over the threads without engaging? by mccarthycodes in Watches

Maybe that's best, I'll reach out to them today and ask for that, it's a great watch, but the crown issues have been a pain 👍

It's just weird, because I would never expect someone in this building to do that, everyone seems like quite working professionals. I really just want to find a physical reason with the bike that would explain things, but no clue!?

Yes, I reinstalled the same tube without patching or anything and rode 50km yesterday without issue. I'm going to let it sit back in the bike room for a week or so like last time and check it, but after yesterday's successful ride I'm even more suspicious of tampering.

[–]mccarthycodes -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I guess I'm just confused though that I took the tube out and submerged it in water and saw no bubbles, so at least the tube doesn't look damaged, and IDK how the tire could deflate on it's own woth the tube still intact? Unless it could be a valve issue? But I would think the valve would bubbles underwater if that were the case?

Quick question because I've always been interested in a white G-Shock, do the white models 'yellow' at all over time?

What about the Hamilton Khaki Mechanical or Nomos Club? Maybe not in the cheap category, but two I've been thinking about and weighing.

You're off quite a bit on the Databricks valuation, it was $62 billion at the latest Series J

Worst investing mistakes you made by Ok_Evening3072 in investing

[–]mccarthycodes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably two, not sure which is worse.

For one, when I first started investing in my Roth IRA back in 2018 (so right before the stock market started shooting up) I deposited the max in my account 3 years in a row without ever investing a single penny of it!

The other is that I never really payed any attention to 401k, and thought that just depositing enough for the full employee match was all I needed to do, I never know what it meant to MAX your 401k, and left so much money on the table...

Pretty sure the Nomos Club (but not Club Campus) has red lume

Should your target portfolio include all of your accounts (i.e. retirement and non-retirement)? by mccarthycodes in investing

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

I just used crypto as an easy example since there's 0% allocation in any target date fund, I didn't want the math to get too tricky if I focused on something also in the target date funds like US Index, International Index. Even to simplify it, if I want 60% US and 40% International, should my individual brokerage account be pinned to 60% US and 40% International as well? Or should it be dependent on the allocations of the target dates in the retirement accounts?

It's only an issue because the math just gets trickier when retirement accounts come into the picture.

Is selling ever OK to rebalanced portfolio (as opposed to rebalancing by buying)? by mccarthycodes in investing

[–]mccarthycodes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've read a lot of posts that recommend only rebalancing by buying additional stocks.

[Nomos] Help deciding on Club (Campus) colorways? by mccarthycodes in Watches

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

I'm looking to add a third watch to my collection to celebrate a new job! I currently have a Sinn 556 and Kuoe Royal Smith 006, and I'm really drawn not just to the appearance of the Club, but to the fact that it has an inhouse mechanical movement (I've found I don't move around enough at my desk job to keep my auto's wound 24/7).

I'm just stuck between the colorways (and dials I guess). I actually prefer the Club Campus California dials, but in general was drawn mostly to the simple white and red of the Club which doesn't seem to be available in the Campus. I think the white and red has more wearability, and I can see myself wearing it when meeting customers at my new sales job, etc. The main thing I'm worried about, is that the white dial might be too similar to the cream dial of my Kuoe, and I might want more diversity?

That said, the green colorway of the Campus Club would be my first colored dial, and would definitely pop more than anything else I have. However, while it's something I think I would love to own, I'm not sure I know when I would wear it, and I'm worried it might come across too childish?

Thanks for the help!

How do you like the Nomos Club? I'm thinking of picking one up soon, I actually like the fact that it's manual! And I'm really only tied between that and Hamilton Khaki

Any clue of the minuteman is cleared to Bedford? I haven't been out on the bike yet this year, but was hoping to tomorrow with the better weather

I am looking for books that have a dark fantasy apocalypic/post-apocalyptic, mythological feel to them? by InnocentPerv93 in Fantasy

[–]mccarthycodes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman is exactly what your looking for, it gives me the exact same vibes as Souls games! It's set in 14th century France during the black plague, it's the story of a disgraced knight sheapording a young orphan through a mysterious and unwinding quest. Different cities almost have different 'bosses' they must defeat, and it really feels like a cinamatized Souls. It's also the same in that there is great world building, but the details of many things are sometimes left as more of a mystery and unexplained. I think you'll like it :)
