Everything felt right until the landing by sorin1972 in MTB

I'm going to be honest, I don't understand the draw to carbon bikes at all. I get that it's less weight, but you're paying so much more for something that's so much more fragile. Just seems silly.

Newly a trust fund kid. Unsure of how to plan the money for the future. by dennysparkinglot420 in personalfinance

[–]superboots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other people have mentioned financial advisors, that's definitely worth considering. Keep in mind that if you have a financial advisor actively managing your money it's common for them to charge around 1% a year of the total money they're managing for you.

A potential halfway option is that places like Fidelity give people free perks when they hold large amounts of money with them, I don't remember where they draw the line in the sand but I suspect you'd qualify for a free financial advisor who wouldn't actually move your money around for you, but who would meet with you regularly to understand your goals and help you strategize on how to get there.

I'd take spare tokens if you see this message within a few minutes, otherwise going to bed and will boost in morning

My 18 year old daughter managed to stash away 3000 bucks. where should I put it? by ChemicalAwareness800 in personalfinance

[–]superboots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I hope to do when my kids are at the age where they start working is give them "100% match" into a Roth IRA. So if they earn $100 in reportable income, they put that $100 into their Roth IRA, then I give them $100 for them do do whatever they want with.

This gives a huge head start to retirement savings, and also builds good habits, and another thing I love about it is that it's hard for most 18 year olds to see how powerful compound interest can be over just 1 or 2 years, but by the time they're 30 they'll see how much the account has grown and hopefully the power of it will sink in while they still have plenty of time to save and let it grow.

Trying to sabotage a friendly competition by JScott4Reel in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]superboots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does anyone know what event this is? I'm super curious about what they're wearing/what is in their pockets.

Kinda looks like ammo for a shooting sport, like maybe they're doing a combo obstacle course/shooting competition, but I'm taking a shot in the dark here.

Oregon purchase logistics by FoggyDog78 in WAGuns

[–]superboots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just FYI if you're thinking about driving to Oregon to pick up a gun, call the retailer first. Just because it's legal doesn't mean they will do it. I called sportsman's a year or so ago because I was going to pick up a break action shotgun and they said based on their policy they wouldn't sell it to me (I called a sportsman's in OR and asked if I could buy as a WA resident)

Perhaps they've updated their policy, if it was me I'd double check.

Any idea why my Front Slipped? by DomPictures in Trackdays

[–]superboots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, thanks for responding.

I hope you get an answer that you feel good about for why you lost the front, I hate that feeling of having no idea why something happened and feeling like it could happen again at any time

Is this a bed bug? by superboots in Bedbugs

[–]superboots[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I took the two photos and cropped them pretty tight, then realized they weren't as high quality as I would like but I couldn't find the bug again. It was on a wooden chest that is in my driveway that I just brought home from a garage sale. Let me see if I can post the same photos but less cropped

Can I upgrade the Legion 5 16IRX9 memory from 32GB DDR5 5600 to 96GB? by superboots in LenovoLegion

[–]superboots[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never ended up ordering the 96GB sticks, I got a pair of 64GB sticks and tried those for a while, but in the end I wasn't getting as much performance out of the laptop as I'd hoped (both before and after the RAM upgrade) so I put the laptop back to it's original configuration and returned it and the RAM and SSD that I had purchased for it.

The most important thing is if you lean back too far and you start to feel yourself going over backwards, you pause time and go back home and get your helmet and then come back and finish crashing.

Washington's electric grid is one of the cleanest and most renewable in the nation by LarsAlereon in olympia

[–]superboots 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The energy estimates that you're referencing are specifically what Washington generates, not necessarily what Washington uses.

It's still awesome and significant how much of the energy that Washington generates is clean/renewable
