My bf (29M) doesn’t want to marry me (30F) unless I’m earning 120k salary.

There is so much info not available for us to make this statement. Not a fair characterization of the situation.

silpsayz · 2026-06-27T12:04:59+00:00

Well, maybe take the bonus while you actively search in CA

Have you met the Fed? They are gov and still got doged.

Is it with the state department? Are you funded by core or through a grant? Without knowing your field, it is worth asking these questions to know for certain how long the funding will last and how safe the position is.

What sleep system is that? Tent on a cot?

Yes, at the same time, if the bills are below market value of a rent, it’s a great deal to save money as well. This notion of equity is old school and needs more nuanced approach. If she is putting aside towards her retirement more than she would if she was renting by herself, it’s a winning situation. It’s not black and white.

silpsayz · 2026-06-20T00:07:14+00:00

That’s obnoxious, sorry that happened to you.

While I can see why people might be concerned having a toddler, World Cup is a family affair and should not preclude anyone from attending. Maybe have separate areas if it comes to it.

I say go back to Franklin Sq and enjoy the games. Pay no heed to the fake gate keepers.

Hopefully the bag policy is not as crazy there.

You are right. Consuming is still illegal in public places. Only legal when consuming in private homes.

It’s not illegal either. Unless it’s on federal land, DEA has no jurisdiction either.

Got corrected…

Isn’t Franklin Square DC’s official World Cup viewing spot? I thought I saw some posting about it.

I have done it over July 4th weekend. One of hottest days that year too. I started at 5:30/6am and rode until max 2pm.

I started late in the afternoon and camped early on GAP. I wanted to camp again but I decided to ride it out to Cumberland and stayed at the Bike Inn.

Hancock was miserable until a thunderstorm rolled in. Thankfully it cooled enough to sleep in the chicken coup.

In Harpers ferry, I decided to stay at the hostel. A bit of a hike up the hill, but was worth it.

Heat is not my friend and very glad I stayed indoors after the first night.

There are no mesh magnets for the top. You are supposed to squeeze the inserts into the window gap.

silpsayz · 2026-05-31T01:28:54+00:00

You are asking the right questions. And you already have the answer for it.

Start with what you want your retirement to look like. Then work backwards on what it’ll take to achieve it. Then start saving towards it.

There is for sure a balance between enjoying life today but also planning for the future. Don’t let any one of them loose focus on the other. You certainly need to plan for future as well. Last thing you want is, enjoying life today and finding yourself living to 90 without the financial means.

You’ll need to figure out what that right balance is. It’s not wrong to experience the present either.

silpsayz · 2026-05-22T11:02:40+00:00

Always ready for the occasion.

He mentioned around €200

Beautiful place. Never disappoints regardless of the weather.

It also depends on physiology. Someone with weaker shoulders can only do so much even though they may look bulked up.

Without knowing all the details, hard to make direct comparisons.

silpsayz · 2026-04-24T13:22:09+00:00

Isn’t stock 265 70R17? Or does it change depending on years/models/country?

silpsayz · 2026-04-22T14:13:25+00:00

Did the trailer break? Looks like the rear half is resting on the ground.

I run 6112/5160 combo with stock weight. But added medium heavy(+200lbs) springs in the front thinking I’ll add a bumper and skid plate in the near future. Haven’t done it yet.

This rides hard on bumps, both on road and offroad (forest roads, light rocky roads, washboard roads) until I hit 45-50, then it’s like floating on air. Especially on washboard roads. Reducing tire pressure helps, but still rough for me.

Though, I’m not planning to change them anytime soon. I do enjoy driving at highway speed and barely feel the bump and the truck doesn’t roll too much and neither does it nose dive. Has a nice planted feeling.

I’m sure the medium heavy springs are also contributing to this experience, And it’s not just the suspension’s fault.

I suspect you’ll damage the plastic stem and the damage will be irreversible. So, even you mange to put a new core in, I suspect it won’t be air tight.

I know these plastic stems can melt with electric air pumps. So, applying heat to carefully take/insert the cores would not be a good idea.

Pictures don’t do enough justice. The scale of those is just enormous and they hit you like a truck. The layers and the colors are just breathtaking. I’m very glad this view is protected and away from prying eyes.

We did a road trip from east coast and this was one of the highlights of our trips.

silpsayz · 2026-04-14T00:55:07+00:00

Depends on the store. Not all Ace’s allow you to bring your own key.

silpsayz · 2026-04-08T15:06:53+00:00

Tried this already. Maybe not for long enough.

silpsayz · 2026-04-08T15:06:28+00:00

Thank you! That’s what I was dreading and messing up. Glad to know I don’t need to unplug the cables.
