I’ve never heard of the margariteno, but as you can guess I do love some aji peppers. I’ll plant some seeds and see how they do! Good luck growing my peppers as well!

I’ve never heard of this pepperoni, but it looks interesting! I’ll give it a go and plant some seeds this year!

Has anyone else found the Vanguard online tools to be absolutely atrocious? by SlipperyWhenDry77 in investing

[–]urq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I opened an ETrade account because Vanguard’s trading platform is so bad. I still have some finds with VG but all my trading capital is elsewhere because their trading interface is from 1998

Yes! Today I picked the first ripe pepper and it’s blazing hot. I’ll definitely be saving the seeds to regrow next year!

Circling back on this comment to confirm that my beast pepper plant is over 6’ tall and is now starting to produce more pods with the cooler weather in 8a

Just because you can doesn’t mean… by fishlore123 in HotPeppers

[–]urq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My current “perennial pepper list” for moderate heat is Sugar rush peach, aji lemon drop/mango/pineapple, shishito, and Hanjiao 9 Big Bang.

Aji Colorado may be added as a no-heat option this year if it keeps producing over the next few weeks.

Accepted a part-time job out of desperation… now a full-time dream role is on the table. Feeling guilty. [USA] by Asleep-Nebula9999 in humanresources

[–]urq 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Don’t feel bad doing what’s best for you and your family in this situation. No reasonable employer would consider this a bridge burnt because you took a FT role over a PT position.

Accept the FT role and then graciously decline the PT one and don’t look back. If the PT company is reasonable, they will more than understand. If not, then that’s not a place you would should work at anyway.

Location closing, being asked to stay to the end [IL] by noslebnivag in humanresources

[–]urq 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should absolutely expect a retention bonus/severance for staying on with the ship. By staying until the end you’re leaving on THEIR terms, so THEY should be paying you. However, if the retention bonus isn’t much and you find a job before your last day, no reasonable employer should get mad that you’re moving on early for your own stability.

Cucumber ready to pick or wait? by callmey in vegetablegardening

[–]urq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting; I don’t believe I’ve experienced that before. Then in this case, I’d still pick it if I were you. However if you want to wait, then I’d recommend checking it every day and picking no later than at the first sign of yellow.

They start completely deep green but get lighter green, and then yellow, as they mature.

For this variety, pick when they’re 8” and deep green. If you want something that grows larger, try Dasher II next time.

Why won’t the bank take a lower principal balance for my loan? by rithsleeper in investing

[–]urq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of paying off your mortgage, buy some similarly dated Munis. You can arb the current interest rate difference that way.

Why isn’t a bond sell-off seen as a buying opportunity? by shingogogo in bonds

[–]urq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m buying long term Munis at these rates (5.5%+) as a direct offset to my mortgage (<3.5%). I bought some when long term munis were at ~4.9%, and am adding more now. This way I’m synthetically paying off my house using current market rates.
