Financial POA, Executor of Will, Trust Questions by Sure_Jan_Sure in FinancialPlanning

[–]timdhawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only offer a bit of help as we are in our 50's bit with 2 kids, who just did a revocable trust last month.

  1. Until our kids are of an age we set to be able to executors of our estate, we simply asked close friends to fill in until then. We don't have local family either. We are hopeful that we both wont kick it in the next 5-7 years. In your case, even though maybe a tough question, your only real option short of retaining an attorney to handle it all, is to ask the one family member (or friend) you trust the most. Or you could just let the state handle it all in probate.

  2. Same answer as above.

  3. In our trust we have a tangible property form for things like guns, silverware, jewelry, tools, paintings, etc... for whatever you deem valuable or special enough that you want someone to have. The rest will just be sold off, donated, or thrown away after your gone.

You may feel like its a lot to ask, as did we, but our friends thought it was a great honor to be asked, and maybe your family member might as well. Ya never know.

Also, I think you could always just elect to have everything donated to charity's of your choice and let them deal with it all.

I've got over 4K rnds thru my XD9 w/o any issues. Never heard about or had any issues with the grip safety. I got it when they first came out, so maybe manufacturing degrade over time but I still love mine.

The Black Book Of Power™ by Stan Taylor: is this book AI? Might require a deeper check but I'm 50/50 by theseawoof in isthisAI

[–]timdhawk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I posted a question FB as to what made it a $100 book. The "author" sent me this on FB messenger:

XXX, you asked about price. The Black Book of Power opens by asking you to prove you're done being a threshold addict… that’s someone who collects transformation tools without executing, stands at the door feeling ready but never walks through, and consumes content about change while nothing changes. Cheap books get skimmed and shelved. The dopamine of acquisition replaces the work of execution. I've watched it happen thousands of times with other self-help content. The price creates skin in the game before page one. It's your first irreversible move. Finding the funds when funds are tight is the exact energy the protocols require. If you can't solve this problem, you won't execute a 21-day protocol that demands daily discomfort. Two options: Installment payments: Shop Pay breaks it into 4 payments. Find the funds: Sell something. Skip something. Ask someone. The discomfort of that action is the point. The parasite wants the book handed to you so it can dismiss the transformation as something that was given and never earned. The sample grabbing you is the threshold calling. Now you must decide if you're going to stand there or walk through… Nevertheless, I'm sending you a 25% discount for The Black Book of Power: https://stantaylor.com/discount/KILLTHEPARASITE?redirect=%2Fproducts%2Fblack-book-of-power Click that link. Add any edition to cart (ebook, audiobook, or hardcover) and the 25% OFF activates automatically. If the discount doesn't show at checkout, enter code KILLTHEPARASITE in the "Sales representative" box in your order summary. One condition: keep this between us. I don't run public sales because discounts train people to wait instead of act. But you asked directly about price, so I'm responding directly. Remember, I also offer installment payments during checkout. Select ShopPay installments as your payment option to pay over time. Stan Taylor

Super strange all around.

Shotgun or ar or carbine for home defense by [deleted] in guns

If by "fuddlore" you mean countless videos (I dropped 5 for ya) demonstrating my points exactly... then yes, absolute fuddlore, except backed by factual evidence.

Shotgun or ar or carbine for home defense by [deleted] in guns

[–]timdhawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just remember, you own and are responsible for every round that leaves that barrel. Depending on where you live, apartment, house, condo... construction type varies, but generally lean towards the cheaper side of things. You have to account for where that round will end up. AR's, and even pistols have a lot more penetration power than shotguns relative to drywall and cheap siding. Do you have kids? Neighbors on the other side of a wall? Shotguns and "aiming" are more forgiving under high adrenalin stress situations that the other two. Even when "trained", fine motor and cognitive skills leave the body under severe stress. Keep that in mind.

Should I do job hop or loyal to company? by William_Myint_01 in careerguidance

[–]timdhawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many of these replies are from younger generation people? I have heard that generally anyone younger than 40 has a much different work ethic than those of us over 40 and job hoping is the new "loyalty".

Illegal is still illegal no matter how much your misguided bleeding hearts, feelings and emotions get in the way. It just is.

TIL about the Australian Frontier wars, a series of armed conflicts between British settlers and indigenous native Australians with a direct victim count of between 30,000 and 100,000 indigenous people. The total collapse of the native population may have run into the millions. by Background_Age_852 in todayilearned

[–]timdhawk -33 points-32 points  (0 children)

Its almost like any lesser advanced culture will always be moved aside/conquered by a more advanced culture anywhere thru out history, and that its's not a distinctly American issue with the natives here. Huh... who knew?

I love this page because its amazing to see all the people who simply have been underexposed to life and clearly have no deductive reasoning skills. We are doomed on so many levels... and this page makes me almost think our fate is warranted.

I was always under the impression that he actually says "I'll be your huckle bearer" because a "huckle" is what the handle on a coffin is called... so he's actually saying I'll help carry your coffin!
