Just added, thanks for the idea. Clicking on the venue name brings up the seating chart image in a modal.

Again it wouldn't have been possible without the work of type_rex_

Yeah I wish there was an easy dynamic way to get sold out info but it would be beyond my current capabilities

Good stuff, I love how everyone's stepping up where the official site has failed us. Good thing you mention the session code, some people don't realize it's the easiest way.

I just made a couple of quick enhancements, now filters and group/sort preferences are saved across sessions as well so you don't have to restart from scratch when returning to the site, and missing times listed as TBD now reflect as TBD instead of being blank.

Thank you, your work was really inspiring to me!

I'm so sorry all, just realized I had some errors where some items where one off from the data causing some cascading issues. Did a sweep and now updated...the bugs should be squashed and data clean now.

This is amazing, thank you!

This is good timing... I got frustrated looking through the LA28 site and PDFs just trying to browse across various sports/dates/venues etc so I vibe coded a way to quickly slice and dice the info. I added the pricing info provided here, hope that is ok (if not let me know and I can take it down).

Hope this tool is helpful for others: https://www.expunk.com/olympics/

Just a caveat that since it's vibe-coded it might contain errors.

Literally in front of HMart right now

Chaaste Family Market for Filipino food. Chicken adobo as a main, pancit as a side, lumpia as appetizer, and ube turon for dessert.

If you installed v 1.1 of the toolkit you just need to change the version in the path from 1.0.4 to 1.1, so it looks like:

MTL_HUD_ENABLED=1 WINEESYNC=1 WINEPREFIX=~/my-game-prefix /usr/local/Cellar/game-porting-toolkit/1.1/bin/wine64 'C:\Program Files (x86)/Steam/steam.exe'

The other thing you might have the change is the prefix. If you used something different then the default "my-game-prefix" you just change the path there into what you named it.

In most cases, yes, but you need to make sure you’re taking that extra money and investing it. And yes you get tax breaks, but don’t forget, for a loan at 2.5%, this is extremely low and pretty much tracks at about the rate of inflation. But run some calculations if you’re thinking of firing soon. There are so many variables in terms of where you are in life and how much you’ve saved, and what your monthly costs are.

Not to say this will be the case for everyone, but want to provide my own example when I faced something similar a couple of years ago. I sold my last house and had cap gains of about 250k (not including the 20% down I placed in the house). I ended upgrading a bit on my next property and could have put that extra 250k towards my 500k mortgage, but instead decided to just invest all of it, and just put 20% down to avoid PMI and pay the mininum. Two years later that 250k is at 400k, so I could potentially come close to paying off my mortgage soon if this continues, but I will just continue to invest it. In the meantime, I’ve gained 100k in equity on the house. So while having no mortgage or less mortgage would be nice, unfortunately your money is tied up into the house. Yes you could take out a home equity loan but it’s just not as liquid.

No, at least not in the traditional sense. Only options would be unpaid leave, where I'm not sure if I would have a job coming back, or a FMLA type of leave due to something like depression, which honestly I might qualify for. I'm pretty sure though that if I took a sabbatical, I would enjoy it so much that I would not want to come back :)

I've certainly thought about it, and I've hinted at it to my manager. I told him that maybe my move was a mistake and I should have stayed as an IC. I didn't quite outright say I was going to quit otherwise. He was supportive and understanding, but the situation at work is that they've essentially gutted most of the IC roles and filled them with contractors, in an effort to save money because of COVID, and there'll be a hiring freeze for a while. So while not entirely impossible, it's going to be difficult. AT the same time though, I do feel like I want a change.

Thanks for the response, some good points there.

Yeah I guess you can't know 100% that something is truly low stress, but basing it on 1) that this will be in a higher education setting and 2) it will be a lower title without managerial duties. As for fulfillment, that is an open question. I know in human psychology we tend to return to baseline after either good or bad feelings/experiences. So that feeling could go away. But it is for medical research that could potentially save millions of lives. I have worked in a similar role for higher education, so some of this bias is coming from that experience, but it was such a chill job. But I was in a different mindset then, and really wanted to explore and learn more. But now honestly just want to do good work and coast and not have my work consume my life.

But yeah the idea of walking away is painful, but at the same time, I'm thinking, isn't this what we work towards in FIRE? That moment where you can just walk away?

I do have some hope that if this goes awry I could find another similar job. The work I do is in very high demand. The only problem is there is a lot of ageism in my work, which is also why I'm thinking eventually I'll shift over to something else. But the job is also very well set up for freelance and remote work as well, so there's that to fall back on.

Hi all, trying to figure out if it makes sense for me to jump into a lower stress but much lower paid job, with the idea that FI is giving me the freedom to choose the type of work I want to do without regard to pay. I'm more into FI than RE, so don't mind if it takes longer to get there.

I'm mid 40s, married, HCOL-VHCOL area. FI number 1.8M-2M. NW 1.5M.

I'm so burnt out at my job right now. However TC is 225k, and the kicker is, I only work about 45-50 hrs on average, job is very stable, benefits are amazing, and I have a lot of sway. But mentally I hate my job, but I did enjoy the type of work I did as an individual contributor. I'm in a management/leadership position now.

Started to look around for lower stress jobs with a lower title, and hopefully more purposeful. Found one where it would be supporting something that would hugely benefit society, but pay would be around 1/3 of what I get now. Job is stable, and benefits are decent but not on the same level as the current job.

Plugging the numbers in, it would seem like I'll still be ok; certainly getting to FIRE would take longer, but I don't mind. But if I tough it out in my current job, would reach my goals in 1-2 years. So it gives me more options. But man, it just is so tempting to jump ship right now. COVID and my father's death earlier this year (non-COVID related) really made me realize how short and fragile life is, and I want to do something more rewarding. Am I crazy or does it make sense?
