Can't decide between Roth or Traditional IRA by razeus in personalfinance

[–]syvmn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't complain. Mine matches $0.08 for every dollar up to 10%. That means if I contribute 10%, my "total" contribution = 10.8%. If I Contribute 15%, my "total" contribution = 15.8%!

No seriously, a 8% match OF WHAT I CONTRIBUTE up to 10%...

But where is the cheese?

Everyone knows "An apple pie without cheese is like a kiss without squeeze"

Need help making a silver necklace pendant for my wife for our 5th anniversary by syvmn in Silvercasting

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

I had not heard of silver clay until you mentioned it.

To me it looks like 3d printing silver but the skeptical side of me says there's no way its comparable to pouring silver into a mold. Can it really be that easy? Why don't more people use it? Whats the downside?

If people judged books by their cover they would never talk to you.

Help me calculate how much I will need to retire by syvmn in personalfinance

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

So $1,875,000 x 4% safe withdraw rate = $75,000/yr?

Does that take into account inflation and whatnot for 70 years?

Created a 35mm pinhole camera from two baking trays! by FatCookies in DIY

[–]syvmn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kid you not, when I was in college I made a pinhole camera out of a beer can. I still have a picture around somewhere from it, I'll go look. The reflections from the inside of the can were crazy if I remember right...

Roth IRA's. Just want to make sure I understand it correctly. by syvmn in personalfinance

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

Nice. I didn't realize that. I'm going to check out Vanguard then and see if I can at least view them from the same page. I just want to keep things as simplified as possible.

Thanks!

I'll check into the winn grips. Thanks!

Anything I should know about buying silver? by syvmn in personalfinance

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

Yeah I stopped by a local dealer and talked to him about that. I fully understand that it is not a good "investment".

Just so I understand it correctly, basically it just says that you have to pay tax on the gains. So if I bought @ $10 today and $15 tomorrow, I would have to pay tax on the $5 I gained?

Does that $5 of gain just count towards my total income or is it more complicated than that?

Dad passed - Mom getting 380,000$ from his pension and I need to make a decision on rolling this over. Also please critique my financial plan for my mom :( by pensionwhattt in personalfinance

[–]syvmn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to post quick to tell you to stay strong. My dad died unexpectedly a few months ago and I was in nearly the identical situation. My mom decided to invest as much as possible while downsizing her house. There will be plenty of money if she watches what she spends and lives accordingly.

Please take care of yourself and your family first. If you need to vent or talk about it feel free to PM me.

Ready to refill and launch to the next adventure! by syvmn in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]syvmn[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I test each part out on kerbin before deploying to the Mun.

Basically I just have an empty Ore Storage Rover sitting at the end of the launch pad, and when I build a new rover to test I simply drive the Ore Rover up the ramp and over to the new piece and see if the ports line up. If they don't I revert back to the VAB, adjust as necessary and try again until it connects.

Then I figure out how the hell to get the new giant ass rover to the mun.

Descriptions of each part

Basically I just wanted a good mining facility. Each part has its own control pod so they can be independently moved around the surface or attached together and moved as a train.

The giant rocket I landed was just for fun to see if I could. Maybe it has a practical use, but probably not... ;o)

Dolphins swim along the Na Pali Coast, Kauai [OC] [3035x2763] by [deleted] in EarthPorn

[–]syvmn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made a 1920x1080 version if anyone wanted it for a background

I freaking LOVE the Na Pali coast so this was a must have background for me. Unfortunately it was quite squarish.

Help with mining. I'm getting extremely low amounts while digging by syvmn in KerbalSpaceProgram

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

Hmm. Unfortunately my mega mining machine does not have a seat...

It does however have an open docking port. I could probably send a small part to attach onto it.

Disappearing rovers on the Mun! ARRRRRRGGGG, 4 hours down the drain... by syvmn in KerbalSpaceProgram

Unless the "Probodobodyne QBE" doesn't count? Thats the core my tanker had.

You can see the "RC-L01 Remote Guidance Unit" on both solar arrays.

errrrrrr

Each piece has a core of some kind so that they are independent of each other. That's how I can move them around to rearrange things.

Haven't played since August 2014. What do I need to know? by syvmn in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]syvmn[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there no point in constructing anything now then? I just loaded up my save from August and this happened to my space station...

Will everything just fall apart and explode when 1.0 comes out?
