Investing, Stock Market and Retirement Planning Thread
Question for yinz who are smarter than me (pretty much all of you). I have a friend who turned 62 in Jan. She is still working and makes approx. $34K gross per year. She wants to retire but worries that she can't afford to as she rents and has all of the usual bills. She is also in pretty poor healt...

Non Political Current Events Thread
Lots of uproar around here about that story. The community seems split with half saying the school dropped the ball and there was some sort of CO buildup and half believing the kids were vaping/huffing/doing something illegal. People say the kids were all from different cliques, which makes the latt...

I was enjoying the eclipse on the deck with the dogs until some idiot started shooting off a rifle and freaked the dogs out. I swear, there isn't as much gunfire in Juarez as there is in this pissant little town.

Very cloudy here today, so I didn't miss much by now having the proper filter. It was neat being outside and feeling the temp drop several degrees though.

I have a 300mm prime so I was considering it, but I don't have a solar filter either. I think the highest I have is only ND2. Don't really want to fry my sensor. Maybe I should look for that D50 that's been hanging out somewhere in a closet for the last 10+ years, ha.

Some friends guilted me into photographing their daughter's wedding in May. I didn't feel comfortable with my D7000 as a second camera (never liked it) so I picked up a D800e with under 30K clicks, along with a battery grip. Less than $600 for both.

What is the modern day Democratic Party offering to that marginal white guy living in Charleroi? I'm a marginal white guy living in Somerset, and I can't see anything that the Republican Party is offering me. The Dems aren't vastly better, but they have a few platforms that I can at least pretend b...

I'd say there's also a 0% chance they went to the time and expense to do their own translation for a blatant, shameless cash grab.
that said, there’s a 0% chance that it’ll be honestly translated

You know what really grinds my gears...
I know I deserve this for buying an Insignia, but I love Smart TVs that immediately go into a deafening trailer when you turn them on. No home screen, straight into a loud video. It's outrageous, egregious, preposterous. I have a similar complaint about audio/trailers playing on the home page of st...

I noticed the same. Makes the service pretty much unusable for music streaming. Add in commercials for Prime programming, and it's a steep downgrade. I should crunch the numbers and see how often I really use Prime shipping for purchases under $35 or whatever the cut off is. I bet I'm "losing" money...

I made it about 15 min into Poor Things and bailed. I like weird, but I just couldn't get into it. Maybe I'll try it again some time. I don't think Gladstone should have been nominated for lead actress. People say her character was the emotional heart of the movie, and maybe that's true, but it felt...

I ran into a former client (dad of a senior I photographed) yesterday. I hadn't seen him since the photoshoot years ago. I said hello and asked how he was doing. His response, "Just living in Biden's nightmare." No small talk, no hello back or asking how I was, just straight into a political rant. I...

So my homeowners insurance jumped from $1237 to $1445 a year. No claims. Nothing changed on my policy. I think it's gone up around $400 in the last two years now. Bastards.

I watch way more deaths and violent acts on Instagram compared to Tik Tok.

It's good enough, imo, but I still think it's ludicrous that they didn't have S5 written (not even started!) before S4 ended. Yes, I understand how the unions work, etc. It still seems ridiculously poor planning from all involved, especially when dealing with "child" actors.

I traded cars and want to transfer my Sirius sub to the new vehicle. They want to charge me a $15 transfer fee. F that.

Yeah, I figured that might be the best option. I just didn't want to have to borrow my uncle's trailer to grab another sheet of ply. :lol: I already bought the framing lumber.
