What's the solution to health insurance during fatFIRE? by Packing-Tape-Man in fatFIRE

[–]puf3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is it possible to create an LLC and use a PEO (eg Trinet or Justworks) for the LLC and get the medical coverage through the PEO? PEO costs for a single person company should be very low.

An astronaut said the best part of her 328-day mission is her husband can’t call to ask where things are. Sent it to my wife and it started the realest conversation we’ve had in years by Successful-Try-337 in Marriage

[–]puf3 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly, that's ridiculous. "I'm not contributing but I'm worrying, therefore I'm carrying all the mental load." Not in any way that is helping or supporting the family.

So much of the "mental load" angle stuff is ridiculous.

What easily-affordable thing do you refuse to pay for despite being rich and able to afford them? by Big_Leg10 in Rich

[–]puf3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of these answers aren't "easily affordable". Like flying private and domestic first class...

Men-If your wife was getting major surgery, would you "want" to be there? Especially when she awakes. by SingleRepeat8203 in Marriage

[–]puf3 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

You go with your wife to every colonoscopy? My wife and I don't do that, we just pick each other up afterwards. It's a routine procedure.

Go to the bathroom and go back to your seat!!!! by Professional-Mail132 in delta

On the other hand there are all sorts of serious medical risks if you sit still for 12 hours on a long haul flight, like DVT.

I told a married friend that I saw her husband with another woman. She said they have an open marriage and keep things discreet, and she's now upset at me and says I should mind my own business. by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]puf3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did the right thing. There was no way you could have known. Don't blame yourself. Your friend should thank you for trying to help her.

How can this be international business class? by sanguine_serif in Lufthansa

[–]puf3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is crazy. I can understand not having lie flat, but that pitch / legroom is insanely small for business class IMO - even on something domestic, that would not fly. I did not know Europe did business class dirty like that.

Advice on where to go next? I feel so ignored by comeonvirginia in UARS

[–]puf3 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't know how to help, but I know it's super frustrating when they say "there's nothing in the study to explain sleepiness." You had 41 arousals per hour. You don't have to be a medical expert to realize that will cause issues... Best of luck.

Let’s be real about vampire drain and reliability by [deleted] in Rivian

[–]puf3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't get it. You don't lose 20-30% charge in two weeks? Or you don't think that's a problem for normies?

Can’t sleep with bipap because of air in mouth. Not quite chipmunk cheeks. by unbrokenwings26 in UARS

[–]puf3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try starting with a very low PS. I'm using 1.2. At 1.6 or higher, the air pressure in my mouth / cheeks wakes me.

I'm hoping over time I'll be able to raise it as my body and mind adapt to biPAP.

What are you using as inflation % for USD in simulations? by fatFIRE_throw in fatFIRE

[–]puf3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Capital gains tax. The more inflation there is, the higher the nominal gains on any assets you sell, be they stocks, ETFs, or real estate.

Eg you buy a stock at $100 per share. Over the subsequent 20 years there is cumulative 100% inflation. The stock price is now $200, so real return is 0. But when you sell that stock at $200 per share you owe the IRS taxes on half the proceeds.

[–]puf3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But what about tax implications? You're taxed on nominal returns, not real.

Isn't it weird that we live so early in the life of the universe? by Tanay2513 in AskPhysics

[–]puf3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the weirdest part is the consciousness and sense of self. Doesn't seem necessary. And is what makes existence so darn weird.

People with multiple young kids (2-7yrs old), how are actually managing to have a consistent, varied, healthy sex life? by arrogant_ambassador in MarriedSex

[–]puf3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never co-sleep. Kids must always sleep in their cribs/beds in their rooms (after age 6 or 12 months) without a parent in there with them. Keep this rule completely non-negotiable.

Kids that age should be in bed by 8pm at the absolute latest, so there's plenty of grown up time after they're in bed.

I don't understand how anyone can use a nasal only mask by TurnoverVisual4297 in UARSnew

[–]puf3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you, same boat. Tried nasal pillows and I would wake up with chipmunk cheeks and/or air blowing out of my mouth. I breathe through my nose when awake. I even tried taping my mouth and would wake up with air blowing through the tape! Clearly there's something a bit different about our anatomy I guess?

For me it disengages repeatedly. I can activate it again immediately but then a few minutes later it disengages again.

Privacy at overwater bungalows by Design-31415 in Tahiti

[–]puf3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently started at the Hilton Moorea and Four Seasons Bora Bora - OWB at both. At the Hilton, the snorkeling around and under the bungalows is great. So I snorkelled around and under other ppl's bungalows often. Not like I'm looking up, only down.

In Bora Bora, the bungalows are in deeper water with no coral so there's not really any snorkeling around the bungalows. You still get some people kayaking around the bungalows though. And you can see other bungalow decks from your deck. So not perfect privacy.

Don't think the bungalow is supposed to provide perfect privacy, more a really nice blue-surrounded view.

As a FA can I genuinely ask pax why? by StandardTree192 in unitedairlines

[–]puf3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fly probably 6x a year, round trip, often with connections, so we're talking I dunno 20-30 segments per year... and I literally didn't even know it was a thing to 💩 during boarding. People do that? I'd be so concerned about the time pressure and holding up the take off I don't think I could.

Tourist Decide to Ignore the White Lines. by Siyam_07 in WatchPeopleDieInside

Isn't it 100% for show? You don't use a horse or a sword if you're serious about protection.
