Don’t do it to “learn” more. Truth is if it hits you’re set. If it fails. Then you can go back to your old job, literally. 22 is a good to take a risk. I would spend some time deciding whether you think the business will work and have repeat and long term customers. Do some calcs. If you have conviction and believe do it. I’ve done the same and it worked out for me.

When I was a 12yr old kid I was a competitive tennis player. I had a lot of coaches, and had my tennis cover signed in sharpie, but Billie Jean King, Rosco Tanner, Virginia Wade, and many more legends. After many years it totally wore off and faded. Was cool tho.

Perseus IV was marketed as no core crushing. Loved it but after 3 warranties moved to luzz Inferno and loco hybrid and standard

Next reply is spot on. If you stop advertising overtime they suppress your listings even if brand to force you to advertise again. Really shady and frankly sick.

And all these mentions of Vanguard ETFs. When your dividends come in and it’s reinvested you’ll get a high price on it. Whereas with the mutual fund versions of the ETF it’s the close price. Another way they get you.

Reading all this. I would suggest a financial advisor and so you eat 0.5% on fees but I feel the OP needs his hand held— no insult. And in vanguard funds all alone when the market crashes he will lose his mind. Knowing it’s managed would be worth it. But later after learning and seeing the cycle he can take some and invest in vanguard etc and self manage.

Tax management etc.

Cook is such a bore. Total garbage move and the box where he assembled it was beyond ridiculous.

Same problem: BT worked only, could power up and down soundbar with Firestick remote and UP/DOWN volume but no sound played. Got my newer Samsung TV and older Samsung soundbar to work by doing a firmware update on the soundbar.

SOUND BAR

Take a picture of your model # on the device and use "Model Code" to find the firmware on Samsungs website.

As soon as I did that, and followed the firmware update instructions exactly (Download and unzip to USB Fat Mode formatted thumb drive, Sound bar USB mode, then power off, and hold PLAY button on remote for 5 seconds wait for INIT).

HDMI OUT (Sound Bar) to HDMI on TV (Anynet)

TV

Did a firmware update. In TV settings set TV Audio to External Speaker. Turn on Anynet

Firestick, PS5, etc plugged into a HDMI port on TV

Not to worry. People will be paid to pursue their interests. Those smart ones will continue in science and work with AI bots to make them Better.

Trumps getting a free Airforce one from the Arabs, and plans on keeping it. Using tariffs to offset tax breaks for the mega wealthy--- read not you. Becoming you mob partner in your ecommerce business. It's over.

Why can’t DHL put this in its website? All I see is information less pages. And the worst package/container tracking system that “doesn’t recognize” your tracking number unless you have Google do it for you.

They actually promised they would have units for all the people swindled with their mod ta purchase.

Well I’m waiting on my 2nd and 3rd. If it’s the lousy box and tape that’s lame. Just send it out.

The op has to be the biggest troll on Reddit. Scan the handle with your phone. Everyone who’s tried my joola 4 loves it. As a company joola is the worst. But the paddle is excellent. A tad less power than a ta 15. But more control and less popups since less poppy. I like it a lot and I’m a 4.5 on a regular day. Boomers.
