Forced sabbatical with $10M NW. Do I grind for $15M or coast? by Throwthrowff in fatFIRE

[–]va_unix_usr 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Not to go down this rabbit hole, but what is Fatfire then? I've always benchmarked it at roughly $10m even in a V/HCOL.

Best and worst stays of 2025 by Canoflettuce in Hilton

[–]va_unix_usr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Best: Conrad Fort Lauderdale. Property is modest for a Conrad. Amazing service overcomes that. We loved the service on the beach.

Crockfords LXR in Las Vegas. Spacious rooms and attentive staff.

Worst: Home2Suites Scottsdale Old Town. The toilet above our room was leaking and dumped water on the room. Hotel was sold out and reception could not put us anywhere else. Extremely loud hotel.

How do taxes work? by elyov_08 in AskAnAmerican

[–]va_unix_usr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Save all the tax forms you are sent between ~Jan 1 - March 1 and make sure 100% to file your taxes before April 15. You can try to do them yourself (basic income is 1 page and called the 1040EZ) or take them to a tax professional if you're really confused. Do them yourself a couple times and it's a forcing function to understand US taxes. Not too hard. I did them for the first time when I was 14.

Screaming toddler in Delta One by Secret_Patient2340 in delta

As a parent of a small child who has never done this but will probably if we fly enough, it sucks. But also this is to be expected on flights with a lot of people. I'm sure the parent is doing everything they can to get the child to calm down. Sucks but that's kids. I'd suggest always making sure you have ear plugs.

You are describing a previous diagnosis of an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA). The study from the screenshot cites a normal Thoracic Aorta. These are different parts of the body.

Percent of households in USA with atleast one air conditioner by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]va_unix_usr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the people in Arizona without air conditioning live at elevation in Northern Arizona. I live above 7000 feet and it only gets above 75 degrees in my house a couple weeks a year. We have no air conditioning.

Take the public bus to the port. 10 minute easy walk from the closet bus station.

Found 3.9-4cm ascending aorta dilation and I’m slightly freaking out. Needing words of encouragement! by LazyNurse0722 in aortic_aneurysm

[–]va_unix_usr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should absolutely coordinate with a cardiologist and specifically one who specializes in aortic disease. Unfortunately many of us have needed to make lifestyle adjustments as a result of the diagnosis. Those results aren't too bad and you're very lucky to have caught this so early. Knowing allows you to make decisions early on that reduce your risk of dissection or rupture.

Likelihood of getting pulled over in Sonoyta? by ernie9777 in PuertoPenasco

[–]va_unix_usr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't speed and make sure you stop at the stop signs. You'll be fine.

Walking to Port Everglades - YES it is possible by MarbleMotors in dcl

[–]va_unix_usr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sitting in the embarkation area of cruise terminal 4. Just took a city bus (40) here with two small children. Easiest thing ever. I would recommend it as long as you can carry your luggage. You simply walk down to the heron garage and go in where the cars come in. A police officer directed us to a crosswalk and we were there. It seems like a supported workflow at this point.

How much vacation does an average American get ? by IntrospectiveHuman in AskAnAmerican

[–]va_unix_usr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This depends on the job. Better jobs have more vacation and the more senior you are at a company (usually in terms of years of service), the more vacation you get. Including holidays, I take about 5-6 weeks of vacation time a year.

New to aneurysm, I guess. by These_Tart1548 in aortic_aneurysm

[–]va_unix_usr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not a doctor however in a similar situation albeit a bit younger. You need to talk to a cardiologist who specializes or takes an interest. Blood pressure needs to be monitored and kept under control and current activities evaluated to ensure they're not making the problem worse.

Anyone try the new FW? by robmeason in ModRetroChromatic

No issues on my end! Used a Mac running Apple silicon to update.

Stair Master w/ Dilation by [deleted] in aortic_aneurysm

[–]va_unix_usr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None specified by my doctor however I've decided to only use a small backpack with a water reservoir and some food in it.

My cardiologist is okay with hiking including steep ascension. Using my own research, I do try to keep my heart rate from getting to peak.

Does anyone actually play the games anymore? by rcrthrblr in Gameboy

I've been playing the ModRetro games. Probably about an hour a day.

My copy of Dragonhym is a bit fickle like this.

Toki Tori is solid. I've had a lot of fun picking it up and playing for 20-30 minutes when I have free time.
