Google says this documentary is on Netflix for those also curious. Haven’t logged in to verify, but maybe someone else can fact check that.

The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.

I’m currently in the process of building my first mechanical keyboard. I have a Lily58 mostly assembled, in the troubleshooting steps now. It’s been a fun project so far.

Whether or not nap happens, maybe.

Wind shear weakened the strength of the hurricane, but increased the likelihood of tornadoes.

Since I left college and started out into the “adult world”, I’ve always spent less than I made, the rest going to savings or investments toward retirement. I accomplish this by “paying myself first”. If I have already saved the money as my first priority, I can’t spend it on things like rent or groceries. So my financial choices are forced to be more conservative by design.

Example: I forget what the max limit to IRAs were at the time (say $5k/yr) but for my first job I set up auto contributions each month and mentally took a $5k/yr salary “cut” for that job. Every time I got a raise, I made sure that at least a portion of that raise went to increasing my savings rate and attempted to avoid lifestyle creep.

Thanks to my savings, I’ve been able to handle some emergencies in cash vs having to utilize debt to cover the expenses. It really is a snowball. I started out small, now my savings is significant compared to my income.

I attribute a lot of my “pay yourself first” approach to reading The Automatic Millionaire, Expanded and Updated: A Powerful One-Step Plan to Live and Finish Rich early on.

It was refreshing to have a civil debate without yelling and name calling. Compared to the previous debate it’s night and day.

Cradle of Filths’ Jesus is a Cunt t-shirt caused a fair bit of folks to be uncomfortable. https://www.rollingstone.com/feature/cradle-filth-jesus-controversial-shirt-rock-history-61183/

Yes. I don’t take wildly long showers, so the conservation isn’t really worth the convenience of being able to step in/out of warm water at will.

It’s the Blended Retirement System and it is a blend of a pension and an employer-sponsored retirement account. In the BRS service members went from 2.5% per year of service to 2% and gained a 5% match to their Thrift Savings Plan. So a member retiring at 20 years in the BRS would receive 40% of their base pay as pension vs 50% under the traditional military retirement system.

There’s a real estate bias, but I’m a fan of the Bigger Pockets family of podcasts.

My blocked community list got significantly shorter when they introduced instance blocking. Got pretty tired of playing furry porn community whackamole.

There’s that one guy that HATES sunfish.

The Bag Lady

I just finished installing an air horn on my truck. Certainly louder which was my goal, but it’s higher pitched than I was expecting. Not sure how I feel about it yet. Still have the OEM horn to replace if it’s annoying.
