    Looks like the episodes are available in full on YouTube (at least in the US).

    Share Your FIRE Milestones - 2021

    That’s a typo, right? Should be $793,500? Either way, that’s pretty incredible at your age and with that income range. Nice work!

    NY Times New Game--Strands

    No, I think earning hints would be the only reason to do that. OP, thanks for the heads up on this game, it’s a fun one!

    I'm gonna give it all away...

    Our son got a diagnosis at 10yo that required him to spend about a week at the local children’s hospital. We utilized the Ronald McDonald House facilities onsite and it was a huge help during a very stressful time. They provide a very worthwhile service. However you choose to allocate your...

    NFL 2023 Season

    I was worried about the Ravens, but that was far worse than I feared. Congrats to the Ravens after a dominating win. Hoping the Niners o-line injuries aren’t serious. Barring a miracle, they’ll have to win out (at Washington, and at home against the resurgent Rams) to maintain the #1 seed in...

    Ugh - Toilet Problems

    +1 for Toto. We had builder-grade toilets in our current home for 20 years. Replaced a few years with Totos, and will never go back.

    Colonoscopy, which prep?

    I’ve only had one so far, and was prescribed Golytely. I don’t recommend it. It was a gallon of slightly salty liquid. First dose was OK, 2nd dose I could not keep down, and was worried that the prep would be compromised. Doctor said it was fine, but not a pleasant experience at all. I’ll...

    NFL 2023 Season

    I’ve watched all their games this year, and Purdy is certainly a QB in the Montana mold. Of course he can’t be mentioned among those all-time greats yet; he hasn’t won anything, and has barely started a season’s worth of games. Joe Cool was calm under pressure, and threw with great...

    What new series are you watching? *No Spoilers, Please*

    We just finished Season 2, and it’s a good show. If you’ve never watched it, The Americans (Russian spies masquerading as an American couple in the early 80s) is also a great watch.

    Am I supposed to stay inside during the eclipse?

    Very true! I was playing pickleball this morning, and aside from a few folks using eclipse glasses between games to check it out, I’d never have known there was an eclipse happening at all.

    Why does white plastic turn yellow in Hawaii?

    I’ve noticed the yellowing of white plastics in SoCal.

    NFL 2023 Season

    They did, in spite of their right tackle allowing 3 sacks by TJ Watt. The big lead they built in the first half allowed them to run the ball and avoid those pass protection gaffes. They’ll need to shore that up to have a real chance this year. Their defense looked great, though. I know...

    I plugged your figures into Firecalc and get 100% success rate. Seems like there must be an errant entry on one of the tabs throwing things off. Perhaps try opening Firecalc in an incognito tab and re-entering from scratch?

    What new series are you watching? *No Spoilers, Please*

    We’ve almost finished Season 2 of The Bear on Hulu. It’s categorized as a comedy, but it’s really a drama. It’s excellent, one of my favorite shows in recent memory. Also just finished Season 3 of Ted Lasso. Disappointing, and I’m glad there won’t be any more seasons.

    Pulling the hose around for gas

    This is why I don’t pull the hose around. I’m sure none of our esteemed members are guilty of blocking traffic this way 😇, but most folks in my area who do it are oblivious.

    Cell Phone Activity in Most Major Cities Dropping

    I found this page, which talks a bit about the methodology (but is still annoyingly light on specifics): https://downtownrecovery.com/dashboards/text_pages.html As far as I can tell, they're counting physical cell phone devices in specific geographic areas (possibly via cell phone tower pings...

    Did I miss some change with YouTube?

    Right, but you can subscribe to specific channels on YouTube, which is what folks are talking about.

    What new series are you watching? *No Spoilers, Please*

    +1 We liked it so much that we’ve started Keri Russell’s previous series “The Americans” on Hulu. Enjoying that one, too.

    The White Whales - Perfect Credit Scores?

    No, never achieved a perfect score. My current score is 835, which is good enough for me. :)

    Any other long-term CA residents reconsidering their “forever home”?

    Another vote here for "never leaving". We love the weather, our neighborhood, the proximity to the beach and great hiking, and the laid-back SoCal vibe. It ain't perfect, but it's as close to perfect for us as we've found. I do worry that our kids (currently 18 & 16) won't be able to afford...

    NFL: 2022 Season

    They don’t, and they are. Really disappointing finish to a good year for the Niners.

    Is the Automobile Bubble Bursting?

    The other obvious application is for folks who would otherwise be cash buyers, but can earn a bit of interest on their cash while paying down the 0% note.

    Can I afford this??

    If you truly live off your pension income, and typically save your SS payments, AND have something north of $900K in cash and investments? I’d say BTD, and enjoy!

    NFL: 2022 Season

    I agree, that would be an epic matchup. As a die-hard Niner fan, I’d be OK with a less-scary AFC team making it to the SB, though. :laugh:
