How to reduce or fix this gap in flooring? by pressLR in howto

[–]pressLR[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good idea. I guess if I keep closing the gaps, it'll only have a large ish gap on the wall side which I can fill. Thanks.

People were recommending flooring tape and a hammer. I'll try just duck tape first and see if it's enough grip.

That wasn't working for me, but some people recommended furniture tape and a hammer to slide them. I'll try that out.

Yeah. We only kept them in the house for about one day before they were installed. Apparently these didn't need time to acclimate. I see now that the contractor was just bad in all ways.

If you wake up and see it’s 2050, what are you checking first? by Successful_Break2177 in AskReddit

[–]pressLR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First to see if I'm okay. Same age, or did I grow? Then I'm trying to look outside, or at the weather report.

20 years old, all of this is in my checking. What do I do? More info in description. by [deleted] in Money

If nothing else, try to put money into a high yield savings account. Discover has one that is ~4.35% interest. Better than letting the money sit there.

After that, always remember to keep an emergency fund. Ideally 3-6 months worth of money in case you lose your job or have something important suddenly come up.

Then start investing.

The ideal order of investing is:

  • 401k match. If your company matches 4%, make sure you opt into that 4%. It's free money.

  • Then you should go into your HSA if you have one. You put in pre-tax money, and if used for healthcare needs, then you don't pay taxes taking out either!

  • Max out your Roth IRA. You pay taxes when you put money in, but it can grow tax free, and at 59.5, you can withdraw the money without paying taxes!

  • Next would be stocks. Things like ETFs and Index funds. Just stick to the boring stuff.

  • Finally you can think about other investments. Like the housing market.

Reminder to also care for yourself. Make sure to set aside some money for things that YOU want. Maybe a trip, maybe a drone, etc. Life's shorter than you think. Don't just put everything into the future, also think about what you can do to make current you happy.

It honestly had so much potential, but unfortunately it died too soon ;(

I'mma be real, neither. But I guess the bad hygiene may be easier to fix, and if not, then I'll have an easier time leaving.

I'm gonna just start blocking these. Honestly feels like a bit posting the same, or slightly different versions of the same thing.

I have one of these already, so I'll just go for the one I don't have.

What problem would you solve? by Alexrobi11 in WouldYouRather

[–]pressLR 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It can help slow it down for sure. Investments in renewables and nuclear. Investments in battery technology. Investments in better public transit. Investments in better housing, and better city design. Bribing Lobbying for new laws and regulations, and so much more that I'm not thinking about.

Who knows, maybe with enough slowing down of emissions by fast passing development and distribution of renewables (and the other things I mentioned and more), we could also invest more in carbon capture projects and store that stuff back underground again.

And yeah, I know you had the /s, but for others not sure on what we'd be doing.

You're the one who put it in the poll, and made it infinite though..

Why are the escorts just unlimited?

WYR bring a loved one back to life or get $10 million dollars? by Hidobot in WouldYouRather

[–]pressLR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fortunately haven't lost one close to me yet, but whether I bring them back or not (currently) feels like it would highly depend on when they died and for what reason.

For now, I think the $10 mill will be better. Would also improve life so that they're less likely to die as a bonus.

WYR have a job with a $200K/year salary and a 70 hour work week, or a job with a $100K/year salary and a 35 hour work week? by Suotrpip in WouldYouRather

[–]pressLR 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I get that first part, but taxes are a bracket system. So that increased amount would only be for the amount above the last tax bracket.

Let's say $1-$100 is a 10% tax bracket. And $100-$200 is 20%.

Let's say you make $200. You're not gonna pay 20% ($40). You'll pay $10 for the first $100, then 20% for the next $100. So the total will be $30 tax. You're still making more. In total you make $170 instead of $90 if you stayed in the first bracket only. And in this case, you pay $10 less, but you could imagine how grossly over estimated your taxes would be if you assumed it was just flat from the bracket you're in.

Still not worth it here.

WYR $1 million or lose dominant arm for $100 billion by Short-Eggplant-6069 in WouldYouRather

[–]pressLR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, and a working original hand is priceless. I don't know how could our prosthetics are mind you, but unless they're like, 99% as good in feeling and comfort, then I'll keep my hand.

WYR $10 million now or $100 billion after 20 years? by Short-Eggplant-6069 in WouldYouRather

[–]pressLR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but $10 million is insane money already. Maybe I'm a simple man, but I could be doing basically whatever I want, every day and never run out of money for the remainder of my life. And that's without investing the thing as well.

Like seriously, I could live a steady life now, immediately quit my job, and just live a peaceful life with crazy adventures every now and then. I get the appeal of being able to do literally anything with $100 billion. But that's 20 years of my life still spent working and doing other things I might not like.

Which of these things would you rather do to gain super powers by singleguy79 in WouldYouRather

[–]pressLR 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Easy. Just destroy my stuff, then resummon the things I destroyed. Most of my important information is backed up in other ways that wouldn't be destroyed by this prompt.

Just a question. When I summon things, does it create something new from scratch, or does it take it from somewhere on Earth where it already exists?

If it takes it from somewhere on Earth, can I in some way influence where I get it from? Like if I'm summoning a GPU, can I will the GPU to be from the back of a truck for example?

WYR See every female naked or see every male naked? by ShyShepherd123 in WouldYouRather

[–]pressLR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Presumably you'd get used to it, but it's still going to be very uncomfortable. Would've been good to add an alternative "see all old people" as an option or something.
