The Boeing middle, but over halfway. My principal is now large enough, and my runway until retirement shirt enough, that my contributions have less and less of an impact compared to my compounding interest…well, my theoretical compounding interest if the stock market improves.
Which is fortunate because I got laid off in March. I was worried about what impact this would have on my retirement date…and it won’t. I could stop saving now and still retire when I want to, with a slightly tighter budget.
But solidly in the boring middle, but over halfway. My principal is now large enough, and my runway until retirement short enough, that my contributions have less and less of an impact compared to my compounding interest…well, my theoretical compounding interest if the stock market improves.
Which is fortunate because I got laid off in March. I was worried about what impact this would have on my retirement date…and it won’t. I could stop saving now and still retire when I want to, with a slightly tighter budget. Or work a few more months and retire with the same large budget.
Hello everyone. I recently learned there are a handful of people in my community who engage in non-barriered intercourse by default (sex with multiple partners without condoms)....
Communication and transparency. Everyone should know so that everyone can make decisions based on their own risk tolerance.
Personally, in an open group, barriered sex is the default except for two primaries. In a closed group, I think it just depends on everyone risk tolerance and trust.
Personally I’d be fine going barrier free if I was in a closed group I trusted. Like all things, the bigger the group, the more likely somone isn’t playing by the rules.
I do a 1:16.667 ratio of coffee to water. That would be 30g coffee in 500g water. Pre rinse the filter. Then I add enough boiling water to bloom the coffee. After about a minute I start adding more water. Just enough to keep the grounds below liquid level. I swirl clockwise and then counter clockwise after each pour.
That’s it. Keep pouring until target amount of water is reached.
I’ve been fostering a family member for a month or so, and it all came to a head today. My wife and I tried, but the behavior was just too much for us to feel safe with our existing children. I hate that we’re giving up and I hate the circumstances that caused this, but it is what it is. If you’re in the same place please...
I bought a refillable spray bottle designed for cooking oils. Unfortunately the oils I have tried don’t compare to the ones in the cans (PAM cooking spray with lecithin) Can anyone suggest a good refillable substitute for PAM? Anyone tried mixing up their own lecithin laced cooking oils?
What is it you’re looking to get from the lethicin? What do you think is missing from just straight canola? What problems are you having? I think this would help with alternative suggestions.
I’ve used a refillable oil spray bottle a few times in my life. I’ve got back to packaged cooking spray because I’m the refillable bottles, the nozzles always clog or degrade over time.

Foster youth across California will now be able to attend college, free of charge, after new legislation, SB 307, was signed into the state budget Monday.
This just makes sense. Probably a lot of history to show that foster kids go downhill once they age out. Giving them a path, via paid for college, to transition into stable adulthood should help a lot.
I support access to free college for everyone. Until we can get there, this is a good step.
You dumped out the water ten minutes ago. The pot is cooled off, and empty. It only had whole eggs in it, still in the shells. Now tell me, do you wash that pot? Get out the sponge and the soap and scrub it like usual? Or do you give it a quick rinse and slam it in the drying rack? No judgement here, only curiosity.
I have a dishwand that just stays out all the time, so I’d hit it with that. Almost everything either goes in the dishwasher or gets hit with the dishwand. If I cut up something like apples or cucumber I may just give the knife a rinse before it goes back into the block
In many ways this is shocking but also not surprising. Many underperforming breweries are closing. It’s tough for the workers. Multinational conglomerates can suck an old sock, though.
Anchor Steam was definitely a gateway beer for me, and then I enjoyed Old Foghorn when I could find it, and many large format Christmas Ale’s made it into my fridge.
Do you roast there or move it outside when you want to roast? The smoke seems like you wouldn’t want it in a finished space without some serious ventilation.
Some People may consider this sacrilege, but I keep a small jug in my fridge that I pour any extra coffee in. In brewing this would be the solvers method :). 1/4 cup left? It goes in the jug.
Then I use this to make iced coffee.
If I’m completely empty, I’ll brew a pot of French press, and then pour it in the jug to restock.
Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev has threatened to strike three Ukrainian nuclear power plants (NPPs) and nuclear facilities in Eastern Europe if the alleged attempt by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to attack the Smolensk NPP in Russia with ?NATO missiles? is confirmed.
Based on past behaviors from Russia, this sounds like they are considering a false flag attempt on their own nuclear facility to justify additional escalations and war crimes.
For more than 30 years, the United States has worked tirelessly to eliminate our chemical weapons stockpile. Today, I am proud to announce that the United States has safely destroyed the final munition in that stockpile—bringing us one step closer to a world free from the horrors of chemical weapons. Successive administrations...
In principle, these type of weapons are immoral even in war. We’re talking about things like mustard gas, chlorine gas, sarin gas. Nerve agents that are incredibly cruel and painful. They painfully, sometimes slowly, kill or incapacitate indiscriminately.
I think in practice warfare and weaponry have changed enough that the U.S. military feels it can wage war more effectively without these type of weapons.
I can understand the interest in watching the drama unfold. It’s like reality tv.
But you should also ask yourself, deep down, why do you care?
Reddit will never go back. It was going downhill long before the 3PA-crisis. Spez will never back down. Even if Spez gets fired it’ll be an Ellen Pao situation all over again. The new CEO will say nice things and then not undo anything Spez did.
At this point the most anyone left on Reddit can do is damage Reddit’s valuation. It’s retribution for destroying the community we all enjoyed.
The mods can do this by impacting what subs can be monetized. Users can do this by decreasing traffic. Even being on the site is traffic.
Spez has been correctly advised that investors are going to be concerned with profitability, or at least a viable pathway to profitability.
There’s a huge startup bubble starting to burst. Companies reliant on cheap money to supplement a business model that at best is years away from profitability but in some cases decades or will never be profitable.
Uber and Doordash IPO’d when money was cheap and investors were fine with speculating on these disruptive, yet unprofitable, companies.
I work broadly in the VC funded start-up world. My observation is that money is running out. All of these companies are trying to commercialize, even if the product isn’t fully ready, because they have to show revenue and there has to be a path to profitability of that revenue. That’s the only way they’ll get more money.
In this context, Reddit is more like these startups. They’ve been funded by investors, including big ones like Condé Nast and Ten Cent, and they need more money, so they have to show a path to profitable revenue.
The IPO is going to be a shit show. I wouldn’t touch it with a 9 foot pole. Reddit has been notoriously unprofitable for its entire existence. Now there’s no more juice to squeeze and their backers want to pawn it off on retail investors.
My wife and I started dipping our toes into the hotwife thing last year. If merged with a bit of poly as she developed a dating relationship with one man. It was really fun. Things started to get less on the ethical side, so that’s morphed into a non sexual relationship.
We were talking about what was fun about it and what’s next. My wife shared that she’s more interested in finding a couple to swing with than just hotwife, so we’ll probably explore that in the future.
How do y’all go about finding other couples? We’re way more interested in finding a couple we can also be friends with and hang out with. Go to dinner, have over for bbqs, but also dtf :). What are the best ways to meet folks like that?
Edit: I recognize this is the “unicorn” couple, but I guess more to the point we’re not looking to go to a club and play right now. We’re trying to meet a couple with at least somewhat similar interest/mentalities that we can laugh with while enjoying the lifestyle.

You've just made four hard boiled eggs in a small pot
You dumped out the water ten minutes ago. The pot is cooled off, and empty. It only had whole eggs in it, still in the shells. Now tell me, do you wash that pot? Get out the sponge and the soap and scrub it like usual? Or do you give it a quick rinse and slam it in the drying rack? No judgement here, only curiosity.

France is banning the sale of fireworks on its biggest national holiday after protesters used them as weapons against police (www.businessinsider.com)
The ban is in effect through Bastille Day in order to prevent “serious disturbances” to public order, the French government announced Sunday.
If I go on the reddit website and scroll through posts without doing anything else, would that affect Reddit's ad revenue, or is it insignificant to Reddit?
I want to see updates on the protest on r/ModCoord without affecting Reddit in a positive way.
Happy Friday!
