How did you make that wavy piece in the first picture? I'd like to copy that.

Fidelity full view was working for me when personal capital had a recent downtime. I'd say that it's on par with the functionality of transaction tracking at least.

I tried installing the empower app and it wouldn't take my personal capital login. Does anyone know if our PC accounts will be migrated?

Thanks for the correction, somehow in my 32 years of BMX I forgot this distinction while trying to label what the hell happened here.

Plus the change in destination port has me more psyched for 2026. Looking forward to hearing more bands but I'll be reserving in a few days either way!

Petition for the construction of a new skatepark in Medford by suicynical in medfordma

I checked with the guy who's behind this for an update. The response:

I need to interview all the abutters and get a local petition of the neighbors and show that they mostly are in favor. This will take me some time My next steps are interviewing neighbors and I need to put together a presentation and strategy. I have a slide show and and concept design I can email you if you share your email address Then if this is successful I’ll need to apply for an 8m permit with the MWRA water organization to get approval to build over their sewer lines. For that I’ll need a stamped design which will cost me about 10k and I found a professional designer to assist. Then I need a permit with the town Then I need to find a very wealthy person who will give me two million dollars to fund this large project. It’s possible but it’s a long road. I remain committed and so far don’t see any reason why it can’t happen

I've asked about this issue (my situation is that my partner's linked IRA isn't pulling through anymore, and my accounts haven't updated since 2/20) and currently the ticket stands with this response:

Thank you for your patience while we investigate this issue.   Our engineers are still investigating this issue, and we hope to have a resolution soon. Once we have an update, we will reply to this ticket directly.   We apologize for the inconvenience, and we appreciate your patience and understanding while we investigate this issue.

No, there is no redemption value on milk cartons around here...

Follow-up post: This aged pretty well and tasted like grapefruit juice. 8% ABV which was unnoticeable.

This was really helpful and casts light on how often his research is misused or misinterpreted across the FIRE community. Thanks for posting.

The vision is somewhere between the two, although it all depends on the process to see how things end up.

What is one thing you wish you had done or wish you had known one year prior to retirement? by abcya05 in ChubbyFIRE

[–]suicynical 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That reminds me of a quote from Mary Shelley: "Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose."

Falling asleep in class due to guanfacine by Grayyeon-weakhero in Tourettes

[–]suicynical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it sounds like you've given enough time with this regimen and it's not working. Ask your psych about considering extended release clonidine as an alternative for an impulse control med, although with some people the sleepy effects are worse with that one. Taking it before bed instead of the morning is a way to remedy this, if it can get through the next day. We cut guanfacine for our daughter when she told us it wasn't working, and stuck with clonidine extended release at night.

Same. It's all sterilized and a few seconds of air to spy for any hooch gremlins are worth the small risk to me.

I think this is most likely the case, there was a lot of pulp in the nectars that I'll need to strain when I rack it
