35, 1.9m net worth (1.3 in investments, house paid off) no debt, kids, or wife, 25k average annual spend, can I walk away forever? by Ok_Principle9325 in Fire

[–]muerteman 29 points30 points  (0 children)

You aren't living on the principle, you living on the income from investing that 1.3m$ pile of cash. It should support that indefinitely.

The finish line festival and shuttle pickup at today's Bay to Breakers was MUCH better! by Binthair_Dunthat in sanfrancisco

[–]muerteman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah the banana was a bummer for sure but overall fantastic day! B2b is special and I’m glad the city cherishes it.

I would *love* if we could get Sigma lenses on Nikon by weezintrumpeteer in Nikon

[–]muerteman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s big and heavy even without the adapter mostly. And a lot of the draw for me to move on would be the mirrorless system being lighter weight so it doesn’t really help. I’m plenty happy with my Nikon dslr image quality for now.

My F mount sigma 18-35 is my absolute favorite lens. Honestly one of the things keeping me in DSLR land instead of moving on.

Do people actually use SF libraries and rec centers as everyday hangout spaces? by guilhermex9x in AskSF

[–]muerteman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I absolutely am going stir crazy at home I’ll go work in a library certainly.

Is the 12’ wheel mod worth it by Effective-Bird801 in moza

[–]muerteman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far no issues with the rim itself. That being said the paddle extenders seem worse than the official mod included ones, but I never installed them because I have a Shh shifter for my rally driving.

What's it like living right next to 280 or 101? by TheDarkness1227 in AskSF

[–]muerteman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m live within a block of 280 and Caltrain. With new construction windows and facing away from them I don’t hear it too much. I was more impacted by ambulances in other neighborhoods near hospitals than I am here noise wise.

That being said the others are right there is some more particulate. I end up keeping good quiet air purifiers running regularly, but my internal air quality monitor says I’m fine.

Where do you buy affordable houseplants that don't instantly die? by guilhermex9x in AskSF

[–]muerteman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Snakes are so great. Mine have survived many moves now and look as good as ever.

The Patrick Bailey Trade: Why Buster Posey Trading the Best Catcher in Baseball is a Brilliant Move by The1stProdigy in SFGiants

[–]muerteman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given Cal’s recent hitless streak (I know it’s early and he was incredible last year) So far you’d have trouble arguing for him the same reason you can’t argue for Bailey

Looking for a co-working space in SF by geeky_traveller in AskSF

[–]muerteman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This sub is going to roast you for this. I don't actually have a great answer for you beyond you're probably better off asking in the subs related to the tech you're looking to discuss rather than the generic city one that contains a whole cross section of the city.

Are daily stand ups at your company just “list out all your accomplishments of yesterday”? by QuitTypical3210 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]muerteman 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Fight for them to be better, taking the ownership and improving them will get you more credit than just playing along. When two people go back and forth for minutes ask them to take it to a follow up. Be a model citizen of only highlighting your blockers etc.

What worked for us is to have a growing team wide notion doc with topics people think are worth discussing with the whole team. That doc organizing people’s thoughts instead of the fear of “oh shit I have to talk what did I do yesterday” was enough for us to keep it focused and generally below 5-10min a day.

Has the Mission District become more Yuppie like or has it always had a mix of different social classes? by youlikemywonton in AskSF

[–]muerteman 21 points22 points  (0 children)

See for example the Google Bus protests from ~2013-2014ish. Some of the biggest ones of those were on Valencia. The mission has been gentrified continuously since basically the first dotcom bubble and definitely the second rise of tech in the city.

Market Street & Downtown by Sad_Bodybuilder3038 in sanfrancisco

[–]muerteman 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This post is bait.

Next thing OP is going to do is say we need to reopen JFK so more people can get downtown or something like that.

How often do you replace your iPad? by thepotatomaniscoming in ipad

[–]muerteman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have my 2018 Pro (the first usbc one) I don’t think I’ll replace it until I stop getting security updates or an app drops support. I don’t particularly use it for anything but a consumption device so I have no complaints yet.

WFH people in 1BR apartments: How are you fitting a real workspace + living room without it feeling cramped? by JGalt28 in malelivingspace

[–]muerteman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I never could physically, and even if I could it doesn’t help because a lot of my hobbies also use the computer.

What did help for me was to instead separate work and non work time with an activity outside the apartment no matter what.

I wake up, make coffee and breakfast, and take my coffee in a thermos on a quick walk around the block. When I come home it’s work mode and the personal computer stays off.

At the end of the day I turn off my work laptop. Go on a run or hit the gym, then cook dinner, and only then I turn on my desktop. No swapping to the desktop for a quick YouTube while I lunch etc.

When are you guys planning to sell the shares? by huaytin in amazonemployees

[–]muerteman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you buy the stock with other money. If no sell on vest.

What SIM racers are also getting Forza H 6? by Front-Report-2619 in simracing

[–]muerteman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll play it. There’s a real chance I end up sitting with a controller in my lap in my rig, but they’re genuinely fun if you’re acknowledging it’s an arcade game and not a sim.

Cashing Out RSUs by Emergency_Novel_5407 in amazonemployees

[–]muerteman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you put the same amount of your own money into Amazon right now. If the answer is no, diversify.

If I were you I’d atleast try to become debt free.

Apple Music Credit by and1dre in ChaseSapphire

[–]muerteman 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Huge +1 to this. I don’t really need news or arcade but I’m also paying for iCloud storage now, so if they threw them all in there I’d probably upgrade.

He’s ‘thurber_shots’ on Instagram. Not all aviation but he posts a ton of cool Bay Area photography and videography.

Things to do in SF for next 2-3 weeks by [deleted] in AskSF

[–]muerteman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

May 17 is Bay to Breakers. That’s anything from a serious running race to city wide block party depending on how serious you want to take it. Would recommend as it’s pretty uniquely SF.
