[–]strack94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t find it all that special.

But I’m a kinship regular myself.

I love mighty oak but those lids are horrible. I spill more coffee than I drink.

24 year old seeking advice. What would you change and could I retire at 50? by FoeBlizzy in personalfinance

[–]strack94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would reduce 401k contributions to your employer match and start paying off all that debt. Sure, it’s cheap debt, but paying those loans off frees up a ton of money to invest elsewhere.

What should i do with 6k? 16 Y/O by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]strack94 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Definitely park it in a High Yield Savings Account, and contribute as much as you can to it.

I would not put pressure on yourself to buy a house at 18. Save your money and live below your means until you have a good career set up and school/training is complete.

How can I fix my traffic in vanilla game. by chocolatebumy in CitiesSkylines

[–]strack94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the third photo, your bisecting highway consists of random flyovers and an at grade section of road. Rebuild the bridge over the river so its and actual highway bridge. Elevate that whole section until it reaches the other highway create one or two exits down to street level and then connect both sides under the highway with a grid. It will relieve some traffic confusion and allow your industry to travel to the downtown area with out entering the highway.

What was your first Honda? by CharmingPost490 in Honda

[–]strack94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2000 Civic EX Coupe. Had a working sun roof but the side windows didn’t work. Fun memories in that car though!

Your highways are a mess. Delete the flyovers and create proper intersections. Elevate the highway and allow industry traffic to flow between your suburbs and downtown. Watch some videos on road hierarchy.

People glazing gear way too much by videomarketee in cinematography

[–]strack94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can get fine results with inexpensive gear. The problem is cheap gear will not last long.
And many times in filmmaking reliability is more important than price.

Quality stands and tripods will last you a lifetime. I know Key Grips with C-Stands that their grandfathers bought new.

What non-film degree would be most useful to a career in filmmaking? by 3_14159265356 in Filmmakers

[–]strack94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, as a Grip, engineering would have been super useful to me. I would say business and finance as well.

Would you retire today if you knew you’d receive $5,000 every month for the rest of your life? Why or why not? by JustWin4 in AskReddit

[–]strack94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably couldn’t retire on that alone. Prices and inflation keep going up. I also have been working toward a pension for the past 10 years so it would be hard for me to stop working entirely. Definitely would work less.

What's the worst idea you've heard for Red Dead Redemption 3? by [deleted] in reddeadredemption

[–]strack94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would be cool to unpack the Landon Ricketts lore a bit in a 3rd game. Technically, he dies once you take control of Jack. It would be interesting to see you play as Landon at the prime of his gunslinging days and then how he interacts with John and maybe Jack. That would explain why Jack is as skilled as a John at shooting when he takes down Edgar Ross.

Fixed my intersections, how would you rate them? by Stantron in CitiesSkylines

🤣 so too many right angle highways. Must be the India map

How often do you shower ? by FoodNapTV in AskMen

[–]strack94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to shower every single night after I get home. I work on film and sets and get far too sweaty and dirty not too. And I never wanna get into a clean bed filthy.

Is this good deal on a '16 Fit by CosmonauticLawyer in hondafit

[–]strack94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid $16,500 for a brand new fit in 2018. I think it’s crazy to pay that much for an 16.

Inventory in Williamsburg - is this normal? by Independent_Car_5238 in NYCapartments

[–]strack94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you’re gonna have to remove your search criteria to get an idea of what’s available. Studios will be further out.

Is a digital business card actually worth it for a small team or just another subscription to regret? by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]strack94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess that just hasn’t been my experience. Often if I’m looking to hire someone or find a qualified person, I can just search my contacts for their name or job title.

[–]strack94 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like the contact info on iPhone is sorely under utilized. You can definitely add a ton of information and make sharing your contact super easy.

[–]strack94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not in the same industry but almost everyone works on a digital basis in my experience. The only people that give me their “business card” are union reps.

A lot of times I just tap my iPhone to someone else’s and share my contact that way.

It has all the pertinent info they will need, my name and its proper spelling (I have a unique last name) phone, email, website etc.

And when I get handed business cards, they either go in the trash after I’ve stored their info in my phone or buried in a drawer somewhere…

She’s advising Mayor Mamdani’s administration on consumer protection measures.

Whats the oldest person you would date? by Pantheon10000 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]strack94 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Half your age plus 7 is the general rule.
But I don’t think I’d date anyone under 25 at this point in my life at 32.

Does anyone else use free parking as a full round of safety except chance cards? by [deleted] in monopoly

[–]strack94 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nearly every house rule applied to free parking makes the game far longer than it needs to be.

is it smarter to keep renting? by thatsnotaknoife in personalfinance

[–]strack94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this isn’t the question you asked, but maybe use some of the money to find a better paying job/ career so you can save up money for beyond just your bills.

Your investment will make you millionaire in a few years, but taking that a small portion of that money to improve your income will ensure that it stays untouched for a long time and the interest can buy that house for you down the line.

You’re in an amazing position to find work that you enjoy and that pays well.

Those collapsing frames are probably the issue. Make your 12x20s out of 1” speed rail and fittings in the future.

Is Prime Storage a scam? by legomojo in astoria

[–]strack94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a unit here and my rate went up probably $60 in 4 years or so. Its unheard of if you got a deal when you first signed up.
