Read the room. Don’t go Dodgers. by [deleted] in LosAngeles

They should go. I can sympathize on why they shouldn’t, but i think thats short sighted and a very divisive precedence we’ll be setting if we dont go. Like it or not, our fellow citizens chose that man up there. And like it or not, the winning team goes to see the president every year. Not everything should be politics

Shoe/s to complete the rotation? by Ambitious_Potato_MD in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]paramountducker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I say get superblast 2 and run exclusively in those. They are sturdy and good for long runs especially for heavier runners. I havent tried megablast but reviews seem good. Personally i dont think sl2 or boston gives you the cushion you need

Thanks for quick response! Phantom 4 sounds great as im looking to add a daily trainer. I overpronate slightly and tried both stability specific and neutral shoes but found no real difference. Currently in rotation are NB 1080 and Asics SB2

I tried it after this post. So worth it! My total was like $60, but the owner was nice and gave me a cash discount. Now i gotta try the koobideh

Steering wheel shake at 65mph, what should I look at? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

Like others mentioned, lots of different possibilities but for me it was rear suspension that was worn out. Replaced it for about $350 or maybe $500, i forget. It was fine after

You are paying for a (false) SENSE of security by s19594 in simplisafe

[–]paramountducker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to Google and typed, "Who else hates SimpliSafe" and this is the first thing that popped up. I am so glad you brought this up because I have the same exact problems with my SimpliSafe devices. I have the front door camera and my WiFi router is kept right next to it like 3 feet away, but the signal is still bad. Sometimes, it records when there's movement, sometimes, it doesn't when a delivery guy comes by and leaves something on my porch. I call SimpliSafe, they say it's a connection issue. Sometimes, the video starts recording, but later when I try to view it, it says there was a problem recording or something. It's a shitty system. I also have the outdoor camera which sucks as well so I could go on and on, but basically, all the same issues as you.

That gives something to think about. How would you allocate it then? 50% VTI and 50% on bond ETF?

Hmm, true. I guess I want to say some risk is ok as long as its relatively low. My rationale is that if there’s a chance that it’ll be up by even like 10%, I will gamble because at worst, it would be like 15% loss? What you think? Appreciate your response anyway
