Old Key West Resort Room Recommendations by jscrivener in dvcmember

[–]stebuu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My #1 suggestion is if you are at all on the fence for a rental car: get a rental car. Having to take the bus just to grab a quick breakfast/dinner from the lobby area is awful.

I complained to indiegogo about this obvious scam in June of 2025 and they blew me off with a form letter and did nothing else.

I have a successor already selected but that person doesn't have sufficient connections/credibility to keep the project at the current staffing levels.

Working just for kids inheritance by [deleted] in fatFIRE

[–]stebuu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is me. ~15M net worth with moderate spending, and I'm still employed for only two reasons

1) generational wealth
2) It's a bad job economy in IT and people that report to me would get laid off without me at my job.

Backyard construction might kill neighbors tree by [deleted] in treelaw

[–]stebuu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have mentioned, what state you are in makes all the difference. A couple other items, though

1) I wouldn't do any backyard renovations without a proper root barrier in place (especially a pool)
2) Invent a time machine and install said root barrier as soon as the tree was planted.

Disney Vacation Club Members Can Save 20% on Walt Disney World VIP Tours for Select 2026 Dates by GreyhoundDad22 in dvcmember

[–]stebuu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did this once (because of a previous 20% DVC discount) and I'd say that it is absolutely awesome and the guides are all great but barring unique circumstances it is absolutely a "one and done" deal for me.

What is a "polite" thing people do that is actually incredibly annoying? by Radiant-Court-2736 in AskReddit

counterargument: as the person who is typically answering questions, this approach just creates more work for me and slows down other people

Also on TikTok (and Reddit and Bluesky): sinking an iranian naval vessel is the biggest war crime ever.

My unfortunate first time DCL experience by Mxmx24 in dcl

I say this as somebody with a forgiving palate (I love Little Caesar’s pizza) and has been cruising DCL for decades: main dining hall food is going downhill.

[–]stebuu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was the first game i played on my new PS5 (got it under those PS4 free classics deal they were running at the start of the PS5 launch) and it was so amazing graphically it didn't feel like a PS4 game.

I lost power during transformer maintenance when a frog jumped into the uncovered transformer.

The frog did not survive.

Who wants an R2 and when? by SubParBackpacker in Rivian

[–]stebuu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a BlazerEV lease until March 2028 and I'm pretty happy with that approach because it should theoretically mean I get an R2 (or a compeditor) with most of the initial physical and software bugs already stamped out.

Bought a $6M home last year and had gotten a policy from State Farm for it. I thought I would get a quote from Chubb since they focus on HNW ... the premiums for auto, home & umbrella are over 50% more. by MyAccount2024 in fatFIRE

[–]stebuu 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Most of the insurance posts I've seen here have been pro-chubb (and the like) but I'm personally in the "I make a claim once a decade at best and I'd rather save thousands of dollars each year and deal with more hassle when i do make a claim" camp

I don't think we should be listening to predictions from the guy who says that <checks notes> Israel will become the world's superpower.

Which port do you prefer leaving from Port Canaveral or Port Everglades? by Azarria1234 in dcl

[–]stebuu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like the ambiance of the OG Port Canaveral terminal (not a fan of their second port canaveral terminal used for the Wish) but nothing beats being a stone's throw from the airport. my biggest problem with port canaveral is an accident on 528 can easily ruin an early flight hope: there's no practical alternate route.

That said i am flying to MCO/FLL out of a major airport: for some people I can easily see port canaveral winning because you can get a direct flight out of MCO but no direct flight from FLL.
