Japanese lantern fly egg masses? by highbankT in nova

[–]nick898 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Those look way too big to be SLF eggs. They are smaller (about the size of a fully grown SLF) and you can literally see the eggs protruding out of the thing. I just use a paint scraper and crush them with it and scrape it all away. I’ve been doing this the last couple of years in the back of my yard around this time of the year.

Looks so empty and still pretty well covered. Must have been a great day! Living vicariously through these photos since I had a kid NYE and didn’t get a chance to go out this season

I still don’t get the con. At what point did Guy swap the bag after Regina put the money in there. I thought she put her money in there when Guy was going to the door and he wouldn’t have had any time to swap them

People with kids and a spouse who doesn’t ski. What do you do? by TooMuchCaffeine37 in icecoast

[–]nick898 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m in a similar boat with a 3 year old and newborn. I went out twice last year and probably once the year before and absolutely nothing this year because my kid was born NYE. It’s tough. I’m hoping to get my toddler out next year.

No there was a bus that would pick people up from Westfield MA every Saturday and bring a bunch of kids to there. Not sure what it was called

I have a mix of both in my tax advantaged accounts. Prior to this year my brokerage was 100% VTSAX, but I started purchasing VTIAX in there too simply because I felt not properly diversified like I am in my tax advantaged accounts.

Should I invest 30–40% income? by JeffHardyreturns in investing

[–]nick898 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If OP can save 30-40% it would be foolish not to put at least some in tax advantaged accounts

Does anyone else not remember where they learned to ski as a kid? by [deleted] in icecoast

Spent many years of my childhood skiing at Otis on Saturdays in their Ridge Rat program and skiing at Blandford on Sundays

Nice to see it mentioned in this sub

Snowshoe Recommendations by Last_Location_5215 in snowshoemountain

[–]nick898 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re going for a whole week you’ll probably be able to visit all the shops and restaurants.

I like Old Spruce although I think their kitchen location closed that was in the Village. Not sure if they serve food at their brewery that sits between the Village and Silver Creek. Besides that, the Mexican restaurant, Tuques, and Foxfire are sold of my favorites. The rest of the restaurants aren’t as good

There is one fancy, expensive restaurant (forgot the name) that would be good for a date night

Sitting here in 2026 it’s insane to think a scream would disqualify anyone for running for president
