    Great thread! Made me google for old heroes. And found these guys - fond memories from back in the day:

    Why you should never set out to marry rich

    Someone sent me this link: Remember the old adage ‘money talks and wealth whispers’? Not many do. Or so I think after a cursory scroll through TikTok. The social media platform is rife with get-rich gurus boasting about their bank balances, but an insidious subset of these are often the...

    Poll: What generation are you?

    We don't use these groupings in Norway so I always found it confusing. If we use anything we say she was born in the sixties or he's from the fourties. But now I learned that I am a mysterious X. :coolsmiley:

    Space - The Final Frontier

    With shielding against various forms of radiation I would think so. Old radios still work etc. These days perhaps a Starship filled with goodies could do a similar task as Voyager? Just send it in the opposite direction. :coolsmiley:

    It was a fantastic and spectacular launch of Starship 3! Hoping the next one will fly sooner.

    Fitness Activities In Early Retirement

    I do strength training 3 days a week. For 45 minutes or so. I need to be reminded of doing it so I use an app. Which tells me which exercises to do. I use the beginner level for getting fit. And like Aerides said we girls don't get bulky from this. But the app has another track for those who...

    Stressless Recliners

    Volvo sold 8,892 cars in 2023 across all models. The number I quoted was for their most popular model only. If you really want to geek out you can find the source data from OFV (close tied to our DMV) in Norwegian here - Google Translate can help you out: https://ofv.no/registreringsstatistikk

    Why get a stationary computer?

    Thank you all for lots of great ideas. I especially like the thought of a larger screen. I do not do much gamimg or video processing so perhaps a larger monitor for my laptop would be a nice way to start.

    Why get a stationary computer?

    I have a laptop computer which I use for everything. And two portable drives I use for a rotating backup scheme. I see people here and elsewhere buying stationary desktop computers like iMacs or similar Microsoft variants. What do you use those for that you cannot do on a laptop computer...

    This story sounds like it's full of lies and misunderstandings. My theory: Some people have no practical sense and can't be bothered reading manuals and guides. And that is always someone else's fault. Add a clickbait'y journalist and off we go. A garage is nice but not neccesary. I have...

    A side of FIRE rarely mentioned: Disability

    To suddenly be disabled is what I experienced too. Fortunately I had LTD insurance. And I had started a quite modest FIRE investment account before this happened. I ended up being home alone a lot so boredom and curiosity then had me reading about and listening to podcasts about investing and...

    I believe the batteries must be made in the US too. Or at least in a short list of other countries. China is not on that list. Which is why not all Tesla models qualify.

    The way I understand it the makers must submit their cars to this list themselves. So more will be added. I know Tesla will add the new Cybertruck eventually.

    Adblockers not allowed on utube

    I have found that some of the content creators I follow on YouTube has started to publish their videos on X (twitter). So I watch those there - without ads.

    Idioms that Need to be Retired

    I have been "running on the last percentage" a couple of times. According to the battery meter in my electric car. Don't know how well it translates into English.

    Tesla specific question

    I preheat for my own comfort. Tesla is doing a decent job of looking after the battery. So I leave that to them.
