Been using it for a few years now, it's fine. But I don't bother with CCs or anything else, just investments and cash accounts. Everything can be categorized as you wish but almost all of the default assignments worked pretty well for me. Only regular issue I see is that my 401k (hosted by...

Damage to the road is also caused by nature (freeze/thaw damage, mainly), so everyone has to pay. Gas taxes should be shifted to state and local taxes, IMO. Or something like ad valorem on yearly registration, which isn't fair either but what is? I agree that trucks should be surcharged based...

Would definitely not buy any ATSC 3.0 tuner that doesn't support encryption at this time. Comcast has encrypted all the NBC stations (including those available via TVEverywhere through something like the Channels DVR, which used to work until last month). You'd think the FCC would have never...

Here's another one - dropping a major provider network right after the new year, when you've already signed up for a policy in open enrollment with that insurer. Anthem BCBS pulled that crap here in the ATL a couple of years ago when they dropped Wellstar in January, IIRC. You picked a plan...

Even with the current 8.5% of income cap for premiums now? I find that hard to believe unless you're making north of $200k.

Yeah I had this problem last month moving an entire taxable account from VG to Schwab - the pre-2012 (noncovered) cost basis didn't transfer over correctly for one fund that I've held since the early 90s. And then VG closed the account and wouldn't fix it even after claiming they would...

Moved everything from VG to Schwab and Fido, only issue was VG sending wrong cost basis data for pre-2012 lots on a fund I've held for almost 30 years now. Got Schwab to fix that, VG wouldn't do it. No real issues with VG but they just got left behind with poor CS and website, the tools and...

Mobile only, can't get NFL+ on TVs. And yeah the app checks for HDMI or mirrored connections and won't play if it detects them.

Yeah I'm not buying the Civ War thing given that there's a bunch of blue cities in red states. Civil unrest and terrorism maybe, but there's no geographical warfare.

Yep, that's not worth the thread lock.

ACATS is used for broker to broker securities transfers, has nothing to do with login security. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/acat.asp I don't have a prob with hardware keys except that it's just another dongle to keep track of and hopefully not lose. Phone auth apps are WAY easier.

Transferred our remaining IRAs from Vanguard to Fido, so we're now finished with VG. I'll still have substantial positions in VG equity funds but the Fido and Schwab websites and support are much better. I use Fido Full View to see our entire portfolio with cash and everything and it mostly...

We have the 4GB plan on Mint and it's about $17/mo. with tax per line, paid yearly. We never hit the data limit per month with all the WiFi out there, really only need it while traveling between places. The T-Mo network is a lot better than it used to be just a few years ago, but it's still...

Or healthsherpa.com, which is also easy to use. Agree with jim that $276 is way too high for a Silver with that income.

From the AJC today, yet another article about the cost of EVs with new credits. EVs too costly for many, even with aid in climate bill...

?? Just did an ACATS transfer of three MFs from Vanguard to Schwab and there were no issues other than they haven't finished transferring the cost basis for noncovered (pre-2012) shares of VTIAX yet. The rest of the cost basis came over fine for all of them. Took about a week for VG to...

LOL, you haven't been paying attention to our politics for a long while now. There's LOTS of alternate realities going on there. :D

I'm sure, but it doesn't reflect the current reality of the ICE-to-EV decision market for the middle class.

Does he take long trips and does he post his charging experiences on long trips?? If not it's irrelevant to what I have been posting, which is that the state of non-Tesla charging infra is bad. If you want to deny that fine, but it's not supported by numerous evidence now. Point to a...

FTFY, and if you and all the other EV zealots would actually read these trip reports instead of complaining about them you might understand the issues that non-Tesla owners deal with. The guy that wrote the Ars article I posted upthread was most definitely not an idiot nor was it a hit piece...

He documented his issues, it wasn't his opinion. Jeez. From his article, which ends positively: I’m Still Optimistic About an Electric Future Right now, EV charging infrastructure is crap, there are plenty of pitfalls, some of which I fell into, despite having a seemingly airtight plan. But...

I.e., if you're currently willing to (over)pay for a Tesla. This will change over time, but it's a sad reality now.

I agree with this, and if you look at the war games that some have conducted we lose in almost every case because it's way easier for China to takeover an island next door than it is for us to extend power that far, especially if they can take out our key bases and carriers first. Tons of lives...

At $90K+ they darn well should. Biggest problem in EV new car land, and these won't qualify for the upcoming tax credits. Nor will a lot of current new EVs. If EVs don't get to be price competitive with vehicles that qualify for the new credits, they're not going to win over ICE for the...

You probably know this already, but up until just recently all OLEDs used LG panels. Samsung and Sony have new QD-OLED TVs for 2022.
