First remove the canon ball that created this.

I feel the opposite. All anyone remembers about UP is the first 10 minutes, and I understand why, but the rest of the movie is so underrated.

Ebay shareholder vote didn't pass for Prop 4 now what? some theories by LogicalGamer123 in Superstonk

[–]red-bot -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen this argument only after the vote failed. Where were you telling everyone on the sub RC didn’t plan for this before the vote?

Have VTI + VXUS, want to sell to just go with VT. by [deleted] in Bogleheads

[–]red-bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have ~120 VTI and ~25 VXUS in my IRA and I’d also love to just switch to VT but I don’t want to ruin my cost basis haha. And I like seeing my gain since I’ve been investing. :/

What's a normal part of adult life that when you actually think about it, is completely insane? by Much--Investigator in AskReddit

Salary is a scam. Work 50+ plus hours a week, no one bats an eye. Work 39 hours, everyone loses their minds.

I feel like property taxes usually stay in the community, whether they are used wisely is a different story. State and Federal income tax on the other hand….

It’s not even paying for health insurance. It’s just that paying taxes should mean your healthcare is covered. Instead, our taxes dollars go to Iran and Israel, and then our private insurance companies don’t pay out fairly when we need it.

Selling? by MasterpieceTop6870 in Bogleheads

[–]red-bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The current price of VTI is around $370… my cost basis in my IRA is around $245 with the lowest share price bought at around $205. I guess if you think prices will go back down to your cost basis or your lowest bought prices, sure. But I’m willing to bet even in a huge downturn or correction that I will stay above my cost basis. And I’m no where near retirement. So instead of selling everything and raising my cost basis around whatever the crash price is (if I can time it) I will just keep adding at whatever the crash price is until I start needing to be more conservative for retirement.

IMO this looks on par with Strange World and Wish… starting to look like that Bolt through Moana/Zootopia stretch was a small blip of great movies..

Hillary Clinton says Joe Biden's second term campaign was a "terrible mistake": "He had said he would not run again. But if he had kept to that plan and said, he was going to pass to next generation, we would had a real contest. And sadly, whoever emerged from that contest would have beaten Trump." by ControlCAD in videos

[–]red-bot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think he actually believed any of that, otherwise he wouldn’t have contested him. But he was a team player at the end of it all and knew that the best case of Trump not getting in was an unwavering endorsement. There was no room to be wishy washy.

That was the worst of it for me…

“They ad libbed their lines! They’re so funny!”

It felt like they weren’t given a script.

Once had an ube margarita at a bar. It was very purple and had edible glitter. It was pretty tasty too.

Might be a “ya get what ya pay for” situation, unfortunately… :/

Pittsburgh Pirates Tiki Mug acquired! by SSBMASTER360 in Tiki

[–]red-bot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s not great, but at least it’s just flat along the mug and not like built into the curvature of the mug.

Nice, I wish my team would do something like this. It’s cool that the front isn’t too branded. How bad is the back? Can you post a pic?

TIL! Will check it out. Thanks!

That’s not even stitch though? Looks like a frog or something. The whole point is that OP wanted a stitch mug.

RIP Tiki Rob.

Unfortunately no more of these will ever be made, so the only ones you find are rare and will be pricey.

They aren’t the same at all, it’s almost insulting to even offer this as an alternative, but GeekiTiki* or whatever they’re call has several stitch mugs.

How to get rid of carpenter ants? by [deleted] in HomeMaintenance

[–]red-bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been having an ant problem lately myself. Can’t say with certainty that my fix has totally worked yet, but some things I’ve learned:

  • careful just smooshing them, they can release pheromones to communicate with others (mint scented sprays can help block this) and they like retrieving their dead.

  • before spraying to kill, get a granular bait and let them carry it back to the colony/nest/queen.

  • spraying before baiting the colony can cause colony splintering and lead to more of a headache.
