Typically the general advice is:

1. Contribute to your 401k at the minimum level to get the maximum your company matches
2. Invest additional funds into your IRA, because you typically have more control over how they are invested.
3. If you max out your IRA, funds past that go into the 401k
4. If you manage to max out a…

Best price you’ve ever seen? I take it you missed the month long humble sale for $12?

Buyer beware: Both of these phones have been absolutely inundated with hardware problems since release. The 5X has had boot-looping issues since launch which seem to stem from the low-power cores on the CPU dying, the 6P has seen this as well, but on a much much smaller scale. But the 6P has MASSIVE battery issues,…

Yeah, for phones, I’d rather pay my own savings account a monthly payment and be contract free instead of having another bill with verizon and being locked into a contract with them.

For the savings accounts, I use Ally, they make it trivial to open multiple accounts and give you the option to change the name on them.

Open multiple no-fee savings/checking accounts, and give each one a purpose.

It makes it much easier to tell at a glance, how much money you have for any given purpose.

I currently have 2 checking accounts and 6 seperate savings accounts.

This looks like it is just a cheap knock-off of the Bellroy Note Sleeve https://bellroy.com/products/note-sleeve-wallet/

I just wish anyone at all would make a color laser printer with scanner that was somewhat affordable. The only options all seem to be $400+

Just a word of warning: Discover card has a stipulation that their price protection is no longer allowed to be used on computer parts/consumer electronics.

Trick still works, just keep pressing the button without foot on brake+clutch, it won’t start. Tell people it won’t start till everyone’s buckled.

You can also season stainless steel pans, in a somewhat similar fashion to how you’d season cast iron, do that properly, and you’ve got yourself a non-stick pan. Sure it takes some setup, and you’ve gotta be more careful cleaning it as soap will remove it. But for the most part your can just wipe it out with a wet rag…

I dealt with this at a previous job. What you quickly realize in these situations, talking to your boss about it will rarely if ever do anything. If they asked you to do something ethically wrong/illegal, they’ve already accepted that and it’s unlikely you will change their mind.

For a little while I worked for a small…

There has been global temperature increases in the past 15 years. For example, this NASA study shows that there was roughly a 0.5°C change between 2001-2016 with both land and ocean temperatures. Other’s research pretty much falls in-line with this, although it may differ slightly if they only mapped land or only…

Also if you get one with a fan, make sure the fans are blowing the right way for your laptop.

I’ve seen more than one person make thermals worse because their cooling pad was working against the laptop’s built in cooling solution and blowing air into an exhaust or sucking air out of an intake.

Not sure about what your bank specifically would have to say, but debit cards are regulated much more loosely then credit cards, and in general have far less consumer protections in place then debit cards. One specific example would be chargebacks are typically a much easier and quicker process with credit cards then…

Lodge is pretty much “the” name when it comes to cast iron, some people argue for other brands, but I’ve been using their stuff for years and have always been happy. Any will work on a glass top, just be careful when moving them about on top of it. You don’t want to slide cast iron across the glass top, as it might…

It’s a tiny thing, but I wanted to point it out. The header image you have on this article is of the 12" Lodge ProLogic grill pan, but the link you have and the sale is on the 10.5" Lodge grill pan.

It’s a minor thing, but the design between the 2 is a lot different. The 10.5" has really high sidewalls, and the…

Mine’s seemed to be pretty tight, I don’t get a rattle that I notice at least. I’ve had other problems though.

I had an original G9, and the rubber coating from the wide grip started to flake off after heck, probably 5 years. So I went on ebay and ordered a replacement grip from the G9x because supposedly, they changed…

MX Master is awesome. 2nd favorite mouse I’ve used behind my aging Logitech G9. I haven’t tested gaming personally, but I’ve heard it’s good. Maybe not perfect if you’re like playing super twitchy stuff like competitive CS:GO, but for most people, it’s gonna be fine.

Scroll wheel does both indent and hyper. It…

That’s already started for me. I need to lose about 20 more lbs before I enter the high end of the “normal” BMI range, and I’d like to lose 40-50 more, that will put me in the middle or slightly below so that I can then start lifting and putting some muscle back on. I’ve already had people try to convince me that it…

Perfect timing. I already own one, but was just thinking today that I really needed to replace my handle. My water is super hard, so over the years the build up has made the pivot part of the handle freeze up.
