  1. We bought a glass washer on Prime Day to replace our soap dispenser , best random impulse buy in a long time. HGN Metal Kitchen Sink Glass Rinser,Faucet Glass Rinser for Kitchen Sinks,Bottle Washer,Kitchen Sink Accessories,Stainless Steel,Brush Nickel https://a.co/cUVzJxI
  2. Mine started in 2016 and lasted to 2021 but I think it was 8 rounds. Averaged every 6 months. Fun times.
  3. Fix it I still miss my 2003 GMC and plan to repair my 2004 Wrangler until it falls apart. My 2014 F150 scares me and it’s not as technologically advanced as the new ones.
  4. I’ve watched our production department get cut in half since 2016, single engineers are now handling more production than the entire BU made in 2015 when we had 10+ engineers.
  5. The conversions are really dependent on your marginal tax rate. If I have $2MM in an IRA but I’m in the 35-37% tax bracket I don’t want to lock in that high tax rate to convert to a Roth. I’d convert up to whatever tax rate I felt was reasonable, probably 22-24%. With RMDs starting at 73 you should have a decade or so to convert from traditional to a Roth at a presumably lower tax rate than your peak earning years. Depending on when I retire I plan to start doing Roth conversions at 55-59 when I start pulling out of my 401K.
  6. Only if it was the Sugar kind and I could quit work.
  7. It varies from person to person. I lost my dad last week and if I’m being honest I was more fucked up when I lost my dog in 2019. My relationship with my dad wasn’t great but it wasn’t bad. I was appreciative of the cards we received after our dog passed, I took a few days PTO to get away so if you could afford to let her have a bereavement day or two I’m sure that would be appreciated.
  8. Thanks for the book recommendation, I’ll add it to my Amazon list.
  9. And there were 21 people killed in ~90 minutes in Uvalde using an AR. My post wasn’t to compare any of the events it was to respond to the comment that there was no need for regulations on bolt action rifles because they aren’t used in mass shooting events except for the one time where one was used for a mass shooting on the UT campus.
  10. Umm you sure about that? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Texas_tower_shooting
  11. I sold my RSUs a couple months ago and missed another 25% run up on one and almost 60% on another. Cost me six figures selling too early; from the risk prospective I know it was the right move but man I’m kicking myself watching the stock just keep going up. I’m still holding all of my other oil companies but they were small positions compared to my RSUs.
  12. I don’t pay much attention to D&C cost in my new role so I found a couple AFEs on my phone for what appeared to be 2 mile wells and they were $6, there is a chance they were 1.5 mile instead of 2 I didn’t check the entire approval package. I’ll look better tomorrow on my computer. I’d say 2 mile is the standard now, 1 mile is the exception and 3 miles the new experiment. I wouldn’t be surprised if in a couple years 3 miles is the standard, I know we are putting a few in the ground.
  13. Pretty similar in Delaware 10,000’ TVD and 10,000’ laterals drilling Wolfcamps.
  14. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s under $10 mil. 2 miles are costing around $6 mil.
  15. They have deep pockets there just ain’t shit in them because they are always buying Jeep parts.
  16. Not going back through 23 pages but do we have any kayak fishers? I have an old sit in kayak I take out once in a while for fun but am looking at getting a purpose built fishing kayak to spend more time on the water.
  17. I’ve been listening to a Chris Ledoux station on Amazon music, it’s an awesome mix of cowboy music, 90s hits, and red dirt. Lots of the songs here are in rotation on it. Just an FYI. For the OP how about some Confederate Railroad. Have a few tear jerkers and up beat honky tonks for the mix.
  18. I was heavily disappointed after seeing all my stocks +5-10% in premarket trading only to open negative and go down from there.
  19. What a kick in the dick. Had a stock I’m looking to exit, opened $1 above my exit price but I had canceled my sell order due to Ukraine (O&G). It is current $5.75 under my exit price. Nice big swing to the negative in value.
  20. A big key for FIRE and ACA subsidies is having a paid off house. Not having to have “income” to make a mortgage payment helps you stay under the ACA cliffs.
  21. I sold a decent chunk of O&G about 9am and immediately bought ITOT and IXUS. Lost about 6% on that trade
  22. A lot of the FIRE guys I have read will structure their expenses to be low enough to qualify for the max ACA subsidy. I think that’s in the $60-80k range. If you needed/wanted more than that you could build a large cash war chest to supplement what you earn or capital gains. Think $60k of taxable income plus $40k out of savings for $100k spend. This assumes pulling out of a tax deferred account with 100% tax, using a taxable account you’d just be taxed on the gains so you’d be able to get more cash for less “income”.
  23. Me too, I was hoping for a $130 entry. I’ve missed several buys that have taken off that flirted with my entry number but never hit it.
  24. I had a $30k swing on one stock today, went from down $20k mid day to up $10k at close. Can’t say it’s not interesting.
