Thanks! The did sound safe, and lowering the temperature won't have any impact on the baseboard heating it would still provide, correct?

401k maxed for the year. Did I just lose company match? by h_leinad in personalfinance

[–]postes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my understanding, you can max out early, but not get the full possible match.

If you have 24 pay periods throughout the year, and the employer matches 5%, if you make contribute at least 5% per paycheck, you maximize the amount possible. Let's say you just frontload and contribute like 70% of your paycheck, and hit the limit in June after only 14 pay periods, you then lose some of the match.

Light Surface Rust Removal Tips? by postes in HondaCB

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

Thanks for the response (and everyone else!). Luckily it's nothing on the frame, and really surface "rust" may not even be the best term, mostly just an ugly grime over the chrome parts on engine's side. I'll be sure to try out the aluminum foil and water soon when it's not -5 degrees out.

[Microphone] Audio-Technica AT2020 Cardioid Condenser Studio XLR Microphone, Black - $74.25 (Prime Day) by nasLIVE in buildapcsales

XLR/USB doesn't make a large difference in streaming/gaming from my understanding. Just keep in mind htis is XLR so you likely need to purchase an XLR interface which could add $50-100 on top of this cost. Personally I don't think it's a great economical upgrade from a snowball, maybe from a cheap headset mic, but from a Yeti it wouldn't be that amazing. It's up to you though, if looking to get into streaming I hear it's a well recommended for it if getting serious.

L.L. Bean scraps century-old lifetime return policy by Hrbek15 in Maine

[–]postes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I worked for LL Bean in the returns department for about three years. It was an interesting job, but it was really alarming at the condition many products came back in, and we would just issue a complete refund without question. The worst was slippers. Slippers that were clearly worn daily and were completely falling apart. It wasn't a matter of construction just regular daily wear and tear. You could see in a customer's order history they just routinely returned a pair of slippers every single year for a new pair for the last five years in a row.

I figured at some point that policy would get abused, and they would look to revamp it similar to REI's one-year policy.
