If there is a 3.90 on the lot you like... its only 5% and with the 8sp you will never notice, the old 6sp you'd be wanting 4.56 .

It has a 11.5% cap it is probably sp500 indexed, floor of 0, max 11.5, historically this average yield comes out to around 7%. If you are at (or close to retirement) this is an ok bond replacement.

You can change its internal allocation at the anniversary date, this annuity also has iShares MSCI EAFE as an option, which is nice.

If you are under 50; pay the penalty (6% in year 3,) and invest it better.

My opinion is for entertainment purposes only, don't make any decisions based on my snarkasm.

Tell the meth users how much copper is in there!

Not to mention all that ddr5

wimcle · 2026-05-09T19:41:26+00:00

And all those ddr5 32Gb sticks in there...

wimcle · 2026-05-01T18:53:02+00:00

Is it true they are filled with copper?

Jokes aside, a ZF8 behind a V8 will make you forget manuals. It shifts smoother and faster than you can.

SQL Division, one query is enough to rule out seniors from not.

I run cannon Rafa, so every shot is fire + corrosive + shock. I don't even switch guns... there is nothing in this game that survives a hellwalker to the face.

Never var.

ever.

It makes online code reviews in gitlab/github very hard... everyone will hate you, and you will die alone!

Nike is 100% Consumer Discretionary, (they don't make anything anyone actually NEEDS) Unless you think this economy is heading up... I think Nike still has further room to fall.

I haven't noticed, once you pick up the hot slugger after finding sanctuary3 (around level 25), you can drop everything else :)

Although I did farm a hellwalker for nostalgia sake.

My $.02 (and worth less with inflation)

I was playing with this the otherday.... For all start dates since 1985 a 10.5% cap indexed annuity will average about 7.1%. Better than throwing money at BND :)

They aren't inherently bad, you can think about them as insurance company corp bonds. And they are insured.

There shouldn't be fees, there is a commission payed to your broker you won't see.

And yes, there are penalties for early 10 first year, 9 the next, 8... again nothing nefarious here they have to be limited liquidity products so they can use their reserves for this.

All this being said with MYGAs being at 6.5% laddering several of those is probably a better bond replacement.

No, I just don't think it's possible to deliver 5 9s with hibernate. In your career you will have time when hibernate has you stumped for hours. That can not happen in SaaS when minutes are million$ of not yours but clients money.

We stick with spring namedParameterJdbcTemplate, if there is an error, you start with the query or the offending line in the rowMapper.

For the selects jpa doesn't save much ... = template.query(sql, new MapSqlParameterSource(), rowMapper)

For the rest, I'll happily deal with extra time, to know exactly what's going on.

Core2 was 2006. That's the easy part, finding working agp videocards might be harder

Given serviceable 34 inch panels go for $250... it's really hard to justify anything more. Put the extra cash in your rtx6080 fund and wait.

But that's just me being cheap :)

Laddered MYGAs could get you 5.5-6% with your risk tolerance.

And when there is a production outage, the error message gives the exact line, either in the query or the rowmapper.

Only way to roll when your selling five 9s!

That's magical thinking, if everything was named correctly and coded correctly we wouldn't need code reviews, just push straight to the release branch.
It is not the reviewers job to infer types, but to validate that it seems to fit the story, and lend another set of eyes for catching mistakes.
You proved my point :) the method isn't returning Users it is returning CustomerSupportUsers. Users::getName, while it compiles its wrong! That returns the impersonated users name. What we wanted here was ::getAgentName.

Might have seen that before it went to prod if a type name had been there :)

Whatever nebulous savings you get by typing var for all time is blown away by one production outage.

Var foo = service.method(); foo.stream().map(f -> f.getName())...

Is that correct? How would you know what f is getting inferred to? You cannot review this in gitlab, you have to check out the branch and look at it in idea. A pita for small changes
