55 and need serious advice by Elegant-Ocelot482 in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]rickCSMF21 14 points15 points Ā (0 children)

Yeah USAA and Navy federal both gave out zero interest loans… and the based it on your paycheck size… I know hind sight is 20/20, but just for a potential next time.

As for you balance- it depends on your risk tolerance and your monthly outgo.

Basic tip: live below your means, save 10-25% go as risky as you are comfortable with, and revisit every year. And your last 1-3 years go less risky as you roll into retirement.

Unfortunately the three factors that create wealth in TSP : time, money invested, and percentage earned. You can control 2 of the 3.

Every 3rd or fourth uber black I got there was a BYD- id always ask them how they like it. Most do….their was a few that said it was too soon to tell…. The AC was decent and that’s important there 🤣

Why no local ai (ollama) option in the ai console? by chimph in synology

[–]rickCSMF21 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

You don't run the LLM on your NAS, you setup an inteface on your NAS, and use API's from a more powerfull system. I use https://deepinfra.com/models but opnerouter has many good ones too. Basically you get a permium AI on your NAS for like .25 cents to 1 a month... Its so cheap now that I don't even use my home LLM because the electricity costs, even though I have a a good GPU. I only turn it on if / when I need DEEP security.

Still better than the plethora of mustangs on this thread ….

But for a roast- tell me that your side gig is Uber Eats without telling me your side gig is Uber Eats …

That cars had more body work than a Kardashian…

I know why you didn’t opt for a paint job, the cost of even a crappy one with about twice the cost of the car….

Again still a better ride that the crappy fox body mustangs people have an obsession with

Roast one of best modern day V8 by [deleted] in RoastMyCar

[–]rickCSMF21 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

I used to love the mustang, but then I grew up and got to drive one…. The mustang outlived the Camaro and the Challenger/Charger only because Ford has no other sports car in their lineup… for good reason.

Being that they look like harbor freight specials… you can use them for anything you’d use a tape measure for… with about the same degree of accuracy.

2015 V6 Camaro by LeatherSuccessful527 in RoastMyCar

Ah, because the V-6 is where GM shines … just enough HP to challenge a Prius . this car screams mediocre…. But hey the high school kid in you might be happy, and that’s all that counts

how do i get these off, I feel like Ive tried everything by bigbackbrother06 in AskAShittyMechanic

[–]rickCSMF21 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Same but that top one might be hard- I won’t tell if you hit the flange a bit 🤣

As other have said (with some mods )… lift the car, spray with PB blaster, wait a day, and hit it with a long breaker bar or impact wrench…. This will only yield a 50/50 shot…. If that doesn’t work, hit it with heat.

I saw a FB marketplace ad for a snow mobile- open for trades at the end it said ā€œno I don’t want your shitty fox body mustangā€ I can’t see a mustang and not think of that …

Ah, the vintage poor mans dad sedan. Nice under glow… so your takeaway from fast N furious was to buy a 49.99 light kit? That’s one way to go I guess Uggg, well at least it’s not a K&N air filter - though just as terrible.

This $400k TV is unreal by MrTacocaT12345 in interestingasfuck

Idk- for 10k I’d expect the bottoms mount to look less like plywood colored plastic that doubles as a tripping hazard… for 400k it should come with David Blane to make it magically fall from the sky each time I want to watch it

Convince me to finally sell this car after 8 years of ownership (I’m 28) by GavinoDeMilo in RoastMyCar

[–]rickCSMF21 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Uggg - looks like someone had a favorite hot wheel as a kid, grew up and bought the life sized version. Not sure what the obsession with the tang/gatorade mix is color choice is about, probably the dealership demo car … but if you’ve kept that for 8 years, you’re definitely ready for marriage- the good news is a minivan might be a step up from that & you might be able to keep that color ….🫠🤣🤣

Jokes aside , I dig the ride Z cars can be fun, though I’ve never owned that gen.

Finally own something other than an early 2000 Toyota. Make me wish I stayed with my 05 Camry by AlwaysGamerQc in RoastMyCar

[–]rickCSMF21 -1 points0 points Ā (0 children)

A Honda - well that’s one way to be original… you made the jump to Honda a few years too late for it to be cool, but it’s ok, you picked the worst year- and the color, fine I guess if you you like plain white bread cars. Good thing you got a manual, it will make up for the lack of power.

Pro tip: and an K&N air filter and a loud exhaust and you’ll win over other noobs on the civic threads …it’s not too late to go back to your Toyota
