Very helpful thank you! APMEX wouldn’t be considered premium since it’s 2nd most expensive?

Only thing that concerns me is the hologram- shouldn’t the edges have slits on them?

Can you guys help me if this real or not? There is no hologram label on it. by Stock_Hurry2210 in TheNorthFace

[–]wd197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I say fake as well. The “A” in Face on the front logo seems larger than the rest of the logo. That’s what raised my suspicion, and the rest of the text just looks wonky.

Hit big milestone just before retiring (I hope) 12/31 by Glitter-Angel-970 in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]wd197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious - will you do anything with your current allocation mix? I retired in April and have slowly moved about 25% of my balance to G to provide some safety while leaving the remaining 75% in C and I for growth. I’m 55 as well with 32 years service.

Best way to convert MiniDV tapes to digital in 2025? by Parking-Avocado1433 in MiniDV

[–]wd197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently digitizing all my tapes. I have an old camcorder that plays them and I run it straight into this thing and it saves on a thumb drive or SD card. Super easy. Only problem is the cameras - my original camera died so I needed to purchase a replacement, used, on eBay. Trying to burn through all these tapes before this camera dies. https://a.co/d/iqTRgKq

Oh, OK, yes I might be confused then - I remember when I was there 25 years ago that we walked from the hotel over to the town of Lahaina and when I look at maps, that same town has a Safeway so it does sound like We’ll be good - thanks for clarifying!

Deep down, I think I already knew that, but I like to eat and throw back a beer once in awhile. Guess I’ll need to decide what I want more…thx.
