Yes.

By Planning.

I didn’t think it would work for the first 10 years. I just wanted to eat better cat food in retirement.

Pursuing higher paid jobs when I can. Changing jobs periodically. Pursuing higher pay until the pay asked for my soul. Then stepped back, changed jobs, and make way more for less.

Paying down debt when possible. Building up to a constant dollar figure of debit and investment per month. Growing that when I can. I now save 40%+ of my income.

Keeping my spending low by prioritizing my time on free things. Prioritizing the money I spend on high pact purchases.

Planning with 4% rule. Works out to needing 300 times your monthly spend in savings. Driving that number down. A $15 a month expense requires $4,500 invested to support.

A great market runup.

I am glad I did too. My friends are dying. One’s 40’s are rough.

Yeah, you might

Dead on. It happened with trees, and wood is still useful.

I am sure Meta will find another place for it somewhere on Earth.

Fascinating article. Baiting the right to read it, then dropping truth on them?

Jenna Ellis, a suspended lawyer who used to work for Donald Trump and who pleaded guilty to “aiding and abetting false statements” in an attempt to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 victory in Georgia, posted an article of Biden biting a baby on X, writing: “How is this real?”

7? I guess as long as it is announced. My neighborhood doesn’t start until after 6 so people can get home.

Honest Answer: Legal requirements.

Local offices have more competition.

naturally with a smaller population and less damage to the environment.

You are correct. It is worth reminding others that humans nearly went extinct twice.

Peak oil was reached locally, not globally. Enough need to drive innovation, but not all of the fun aftereffects predicted.

I point this out as “peak oil” was more than just “no oil”, and I don’t want that lost on the young ones. It was about the collapse of everything dependent on oil.

Otherwise yes.

“Peak Oil” they used to call it. Lots written about to collapse of everything after Peak Oil. Been predicted since at least 1970’s.

Now we need to run out for our own good.

Because sometimes they insist on abbreviating. It is just a stupid abbreviation.

Good advice. One should always test, for correctness, not just infer.

Having a rule written about their actions, or a law named after them.

For the rules, they did something stupid and management wants it to not happen again. If a law, then they were the victim of something terrible.

(Slim chance it was heroic, or cool.)

The strings come off the “screwed in” part?

I don’t think politicians came up with the new design, but embraced the new design. This has been an issue for decades and the ban is newin USA.

Climb on couch to get at cord. Fall. Cord wraps around neck.

Edit: Remember 12 year oldscan stillbe ~60 lbs and curtains tend to be screwed into the fame.

I used to think it was “only” toddlers. Tragic stories of 12 year olds dying from the pull cords. Fucking horrible.

engaged to be married

Gonna be weird when the ‘spouse’ changes in the photos.

Any bets on why the fiancé was not in photo?

they made me watch a video of the owner crying about his dead dad

Glad you didn’t reward that behavior. WTF were they thinking?

Sad part is, the work could have been subbed out to the cheapest while homeowners paid much higher.

Will Ellison and government officials volunteer to be observed for next 5 years to prove software?

(No.)
