At what age would you stop buying presents for nieces and nephews? I have 3 and they’re all officially out of college now. They live in a different state. When they were little kids the presents made sense but now it seems forced. I just don’t know how to transition away other than just not doing it.

    Does “de-monetization” simply mean Google isn’t paying him, or that they’re removing all ads (and revenue for themselves) from his videos?

    Wouldn’t striking against one at a time be more effective?

    Fewer GM being built means they lose market share to ford, making GM more likely to cave easier?

    Isn’t all of it encrypted though? Like I understand physical access to servers is generally bad, but you’d think once the the things are unplugged it would be difficult to access the data again without bypassing encryption. I’m clearly not a software engineer though lol

    I really dislike Musk, but I find it hard to criticize this when it generally worked.

    The platform formerly known as Twitter is still running, and there’s no more $100 million/year data center.

    6-9 months would have meant $50-75 million dollars. I don’t know what the outages and re-engineering ended up costing them, but that’s a ton of money.

    The email I use for random website sign-up’s is an ancient hotmail account that I only check when I’m expecting a specific email. It’s like thousands of spam messages.

    The more important things using my actual email are comparatively small.

    This doesn’t apply to furniture but the Goodwills in my area ship all the good stuff to a central location two counties away where it can be listed for sale online. The stuff in store is mostly garbage.

    You should go look at the top 10 holdings of your equity funds you’re in. I bet for two of them it’s identical.

    SNAXX is yielding 5.37%.

    It really depends on why you’re holding the cash though- how long you plan on sitting on it. At some point it probably makes sense to lock in a longer duration t-bill/note.

    I generally avoid holding cash unless there’s a specific spending goal in the next 3ish years.

    I don’t think there’s a bad decision.

    A CD isn’t the only option. A 2-year treasury note pays 4.82% right now. You could do that and then reevaluate in 2 years. Having more accessible/liquid assets leads to more flexibility if you need money for an emergency or even a move or downpayment or whatever.

    There’s also the very remote possibility for loan forgiveness.

    I don’t think the interest spread is large enough for that to be the “slam dunk” answer though. If you’re not great with money or just don’t want to deal with another administrative burden I’d lean towards just being done with the loans.

    Are you helping because you genuinely want to help, or are you helping because you’ll feel you’re “owed” something after you do? Whether that’s approval, friendship, etc? If it’s the latter, there’s a lot of baked in manipulation and dishonesty in your approach.

    Focus on yourself. Help yourself. No one owes you anything and the only one responsible for you is you.

    I’ve tried to get into bourbon several times over the years- landed on Buffalo Trace first. Tried Four Roses Small Batch after that.. I didn’t really get it- both of them tasted “off” to me and left a weird after taste. I was ready to write off bourbon all together as just not for me, until I tried OF 110. This shit is delicious. I think I finally get it. It’s like all the best parts of a camp fire, without the weird aftertaste. I think I’m hooked. Anyone have any insight into what it was about the first two I might not have liked?
