I can’t wait for this. I’ve gone down a few rabbit holes looking into solar and battery storage, and even just battery storage by itself to replace the generator we have for when power is out and/or to offset peak use time rates. But batteries are really expensive and I’ve already got a hundred kilowatt hours sitting in my garage.

Would love to have seen OpenPilot form Comma on this list to how it compared.

I could never get hardware accelerated video working with Firefox on my Linux laptop, and Google Meet (used for work) doesn’t work well ( but I guess I blame Google for that).

It looks like they’ve changed the way they do it a bit they now have these (this is light to med, there’s another one for med-dark roast): https://happymugcoffee.com/products/roasters-choice-a

I have been buying from HappyMug for years, I do a subscription thing with them that gets me one bag of one of their blends that I picked and then one bag of single origin coffee every month. I’m very happy with it.

I don’t know about natively, but I’ve played both FFXIV and EVE Online in Linux in the past, and they ran well, but it’s been a little bit.

From the downvotes it seems like many people might be this:

It’s an XWing! 👍

Yeah, I like overwatch, have gotten my money’s worth from it and the steam integration makes it so much easier to run on Linux, so I’m happy with it.

Just out of curiosity, since I’m also considering bonds, what is “close to retirement” enough to consider non insignificant bod allocation?

hm, I’m not sure I know :) not really into jump scares, but do often love kitchy B horror. I also love scifi so blends of the two are good. Overall, I’ll take any suggestions for what you’ve liked on the platform!

Thanks for the input! I’ve been thinking that’d I’d probably just stick to index funds and avoid (for now) individual companies. My financial advisor does do individual companies (to fit the allocation targets), and does do tax loss harvesting, but I think that might be a bit complicated for my initial attempts.

I had thought about doing something like S&P 500 fund + some set of small and medium cap index funds, rather than trying to identify individual companies that fit into “large/mid/small cap & industry spread”, but even in those broad realms there’s lots of “index 500” funds and lots of “medium/small cap” index funds, how do I figure out which ones to buy and how to compare them?

Any other recommendations for what to watch on Shudder?

I’m confused. In the 5% bracket, a $16k tuition: this comes out to like a 900k/year job…is that where the top 5% is?

I don’t think that’s a bad extension of the analogy
