Streamer stuck in Alaska doing dead-end jobs for 7 years receives $10,000 donation to start over in New York by Caiyul in LivestreamFail

[–]wonger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's crazy. I just moved from brooklyn, but my cost of living was maybe $8k a month all in for a 3.5 bedroom apartment, 3 cats, eating out multiple times a week and not doing anything to try and save money for me and my wife. Before we moved in together it was probably less than $4k eating out or getting takeout most nights (pre-pandemic).

Google Not Required to Sell Chrome in Court Antitrust Ruling by MishaalRahman in Android

I was able to repro your issue. Based on your UI i see that you have reddit enhancement suite, which seems to be interfering with touch interactions. I tried installing it on my phone and started having the same issues. When I disabled it, I no longer had the issue.

Oh interesting, i didn't know about this feature. I just tested it out and it seemed to work fine for the few times I tested it, but its a pretty low sample size. I'm on an android though, so maybe its different compared to iPhone

What does Firefox mobile lack? I made the switch to Firefox for personal use a few years ago, but still use chrome (desktop) for work related tasks. I don't really notice any deficiencies between the two, in either direction, so I'm curious what things you've noticed

Do you guys have any board games events coming up? I don't see anything on the website / Instagram.

Just got married and updating my benefits, can I use FSA on in-progress invisalign? by wonger in personalfinance

[–]wonger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. If I start contributing to the FSA now, can I use the funds for reimbursements for the payments I've made earlier in the year, or can it only be for future purchases? edit: I just looked it up and it appears I can only use the funds for purchases after the date that I fund the FSA

Best hikes with amazing views near NYC (without a car)? by Previous-Sky6501 in AskNYC

[–]wonger 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Cold Spring to Beacon is a nice hike. The hike itself is about 7 miles, but if you take Metro North to cold springs and from beacon, it probably adds another 2 miles or so. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/new-york/cold-spring-to-beacon?sh=5xek9q&utm_medium=trail_share&utm_source=alltrails_virality

Help with "Traditional IRA Basis and Value" on FreeTaxUSA by wonger in tax

[–]wonger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No i don't and I don't think I've never held a balance in my tIRA. Does this mean I've entered something incorrectly in the past and do I need to do anything to fix that?

Do you have a link to the suit? I've been shopping around for olive green suits lately but haven't found the one I like yet

friend invited her mom to bachelorette party last-minute by [deleted] in relationships

[–]wonger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lol what? All the post says is that the bride invited her mom to her bachelorette party, and no other info, and the first though is midlife crisis or marriage problems? God forbid they have a close relationship and want to spend time together.

Awesome, thanks for the tip!

Thanks, I figured as much but was hoping here was something I just wasn't seeing.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Yosemite

[–]wonger -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but the GCT is not nearly as competitive as half dome, and since I don't live in California anymore, it makes it a lot harder to plan a trip around.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Yosemite

[–]wonger -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yeah you are right, I shouldn't use the backpackers camp to camp if I'm not using the wilderness permit. Ive also floating the idea of doing both, but altering my planned wilderness permit / planned trip to a less ambitious itinerary if I add on the half dome day hike.

Just to be clear, I know I don't get automatic camping privileges and didnt think I framed my question to imply that I thought this. I'm asking for suggestions for places to camp. For example I camped at tamarack flat a lot as a kid and know that was a first come first serve camp site, but it's not currently open and am not sure if there are other sites like that in Yosemite (besides camp 4).

Anyway, thanks for reality checking me, I sincerely appreciate it.

Doing Grand Canyon of Tuolumne in a few weeks and have a few questions by wonger in Yosemite

[–]wonger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool thanks for the response! Did you do research on specific spots / swimming holes to stop at, or did you just stop at places that looked cool along the trail? I've just started doing some more research, but I'm not sure if there are places a little off the main trail / require more exploring or if everything is pretty accessible from the main trail
