*The Father*

Yeah I’m an elec eng who does a lot of DIY stuff. I saw some of the DIY kits when I was thinking of taking the plunge, but just being blunt even $500 is a bit to chew on, especially if it performance wise will be outpaced quickly AND as you mentioned - has to be maintained. I might still go that route, but I’m just…

I’ve been wanting a 3D printer for a while, but they simply cost too much to jump in, I know that once I plop down that $1000, there will be another “bump” in quality/speed/price that will make me regret it - its simply a fast moving field.

I personally didn’t do it like this, but ideally what I did was close enough. I “use” to get paid weekly, I had terrible credit coming out of college, and so I spent several years cleaning up my messes. Once I reached stability, I noticed that I typically had “lets say $50" ‘floating’ in my account each week. After…

It’s not harsh back and forth though so length is meh heheh.

Yeah, do it based on what YOU think works for your need. I started off with just one notebook for creative juices, but it being so temporal in focus, I’d write down long term goals, and then couldn’t re-read them (har har) or had to re-write them, so then I had my Goal’s binder, and it just grew to 4. I actually have…

Haha I try to read everything.

Well as I mentioned, I’ve scaled back a bit on certain ones. MY work journal is really only purposefully written in twice a week (Monday is week plan and last week, Wednesday is refiguring out things and notes, sporadically I’ll write down new stuff or adjustments). My Goal one is in less a “daily entry” form, so one…

Yeah, its a rabbit hole (>_<)‘

I still disagree.

yes yes yes to everything. I read those articles sometimes when I get trapped in the Rabbit Hole known as the “internet”, and honestly, I do 90% of the things listed in those articles, and I’m well to do, but I was well to do, BEFORE I started doing those things via actions earlier in my life.

eh, ‘sometimes’. A lot of items that are looked upon as luck, really aren’t, they are born from some other action. Being at the right place at the right time, unless its at a grocery store, most likely there was networking that landed them there, or knowledge that it was the place to be. Often times “success” or…

I think the “angle” being approach towards Rotten Tomatoes, undersells what is really going on. Yes it is a “yes/No” check, but ultimately that lets you know how decisive it is. A Universally loved movie will have a high score (see Civil War right now), while a movie railed by everyone but those who are simply trying…

saw it this morning when I tried to get app. Had to update ipad to 9 though, so I haven’t had a chance to screw around with anything.

I’m in NC and we have inspections here. I came from VA where we had inspections, and before that I came from MD where we only had emissions every so often. I’ve always been concerned about the issue you’ve brought up, essentially getting gouged by Big Jim, well my secret to success is to go someplace that doesn’t DO…

I can personally testify to some of these. I fall into the good credit lane, and when I went to get my last car, I knew the bank would offer me a 4% loan, I gave the dealership a shot (Acura), and fell into the Honda Financing program at 0.9% - hard to argue that. when financing, you should always have more than one…

There is a lot of truth in this, though I feel there are some ‘slight’ omissions. I say slight because it is hinted at in the first half (at work so I had to speed read through the second half) - “when two people are in the same situation, the person with more grit will excel more”. That’s all good, but in actual…

0_O I would have NEVER anticipated Moog releasing an app, especially at this price point. There are a couple (namely one) Moogs on my equipment bucket list. this will get purchased and toyed around with, might finally give me a reason to try and integrate my iPad into my studio gear if it sounds good.

I did and I didn’t. I was unemployed at the time and money was going to start getting tight, so I needed a job. However, I also know I’m at the ‘top’ of my earning potential for my position, in the area I live in - and moving isn’t an option. So when the job got lined up I told the recruiter from the get go, it has to…

I don’t know where I got the idea or thought process, but I’m of the school of thought - opening and having accounts “everywhere”, don’t bank exclusively in one place anyways. I have my main bank, but I also have satellite accounts at other institutions for savings, back-ups, or to simply make using the money harder.
