2024 Pirates Season Thread

Not too much to complain about. Feels weird.
The ordering kiosks at the left field Chicky and Pete's. Why do I have to scan my receipt after I submit my order? Just make my food and I'll pick it up when the number pops up on the board.

Randomness Dos

Lil mac and I had tickets to the Bucco game tonight. Thought I'd save a few bucks and park at First Ave and ride the T over. For anyone who casually rides the T in instances like this only, please learn from my mistake and absolutely do not do this.

I truly don't know, but someone did tell me that you have to live until you're like 80 to make up for what you lose if you wait until you're 65.

Investing, Stock Market and Retirement Planning Thread

Investing in bitcoin and ethereum to me is like going to the casino. I go in with $200 expecting to have fun and walk out with $0 but hope I walk out with more. I have a $225 total investment that's now worth $1200, and it's like... Cash it out? Or let it ride to the moon. May as well do the latter....

A model 3 lease can be had for under $300 monthly with $1k down. That's... A lot less than I expected.

Lease, or buy? New or used?

Are you factoring KWH charges into that savings?

I've got the long wheelbase Expedition and if I could find the vacuum leak on the Mini I'd have my commuter car too. A great setup when they're both working. Yeah, wife drives an Expedition Max. She puts on about 7k annual miles and I do even less when you subtract our 5-6 longer distance camping t...

I wish they would bring back the excursion, a 3/4 ton SUV. That would allow me to have one family vehicle and one small car.

We go on 8-10 camping trips a year in our 35 foot camper. Thus I have one.

I'd rather have a Honda. If I could find a cheap enough one, I'd have two vehicles. But the cost doesn't make sense.

A Laramie trim 2024 Cummins diesel comes in under $80k before tax. Probably slightly over with TTT. I'm not saying that's a deal by any means but that truck has significantly more options than the WT Chevy in the picture.

Blackjack's Thread of Illness and Ailments

No believe me I know. I'm just saying this is day 1 on it and it's a very weird feeling. I'm not trying to make a habit of this. But I forced myself to eat dinner. :lol:

I should also do a better job at tracking calories. I'm probably understating them.

Also, I just ate dinner so at least doubled caloric intake for the day. It's just a pretty weird feeling. I'm sure my body will adjust.

I was on Glipizide for my diabetes. She took me off that and replaced it with Ozempic. I've been pretty obese my whole life..

Day one and I'm already forcing myself to eat a little bit. I've probably consumed 600 calories today and have no appetite at all. A soft beef taco for lunch, a bowl of Greek yogurt with some PB powder, and a salad. I'm kinda mad. I've gotten really good at making good food but keeping it low calori...

Sounds like it just makes dieting a little easier. I haven't noticed anything yet. I'm still trying to stick to a 2500ish calorie diet.

Lil mac has a solid barter network on his bus though. Like he will NOT allow me to take him to school. He has to ride the bus and barter with the kids.

Went to the doc today. She said she's okay with my BP being a tad bit high since I'm losing weight and instead of changing up that med regimen she's putting me on ozempic to continue losing weight. Reevaluate in June. Feels like it's cheating but I'm hopeful it helps :lol:
