My SIL used to work as an x-ray tech and came across this name. The lovely young lady was very very upset that her totally normal name was not pronounced correctly.

re: Can we talk about this Karl Jobst lawsuit, he lost against Billy Mitchell
Posted by Phate on 4/2/25 at 9:45 am
I always liked Karl's videos. Even the ones about the lawsuit because Billy is an insufferable douche. It is pretty funny that a large part of Karl's YouTube channel is about cheaters and frauds and it seems like now people will be making the same video about him and this lawsuit.

Our situation is slightly unusual. My wife is 4 years and some change older than me and we had kids pretty young. I'll probably go talk to some specialist when the time comes. We can live on my income alone with no kids on the payroll so she'll hang it up before I do.
My wife is 6 years younger than me and she says she'll retire when I do.

Currently waiting for my wife to get ready and the we're heading to the Box. I get more excited for the start of LSU Baseball more than any other sport.

re: LSU baseball tickets now on sale to general public
Posted by Phate on 2/5/25 at 4:50 pm
Did anyone with season tickets have issues logging into the LSU Sports app or clicking on the Access my tickets link in the email? No matter what I do the page on the app or email won't load. It loads fine on my computer but I need to do it on my phone to put the tickets into my Apple Wallet.
ETA: Apparently my VPN hates the LSU website. All good now.

re: Should I move my Bank savings to a HYSA with Morgan Stanley?

That’s what I figured. I didn’t think about it until I got my 1099-INT, and it said $102 dollars. I can do way better than that.
I keep 5 HYSA with Wealthfront for my emergency funds and a few major things I pay each year. For 2024 my interest was around $2k. The total for all accounts usually maxes out around $60k before I start making payments. So not a crazy amount by any means but an extra $2k per year for money I have to keep very liquid is decent.

Visible. $25 per month, unlimited everything, and that includes a hotspot. No monthly contract.
It uses the Verizon network.
This is what I've used for years and it has been great.
My in-laws use Consumer Cellular and they like it so I don't think you'll go wrong with either choice.
re: Question for the golfers on here
Posted by Phate on 1/6/25 at 6:10 pm
I’m 41 and have never had a lesson. I started playing at 11 when we moved to Shenandoah. A year after the move I started homeschooling. I finished school around noon and then I walked to the golf course and played a round and hit balls until dark everyday. On weekends I would wake up and go to the course all day. By the time I got to high school I was a low single digit handicap. Lessons will certainly help but getting out there and playing will help a ton in the beginning. I’m just getting back into playing regularly but I can still shoot 80-85 playing only once or twice a year and if I play regularly I can dip into the 70’s. I mentioned to my wife after I got new clubs that I wanted to take some lessons to refine my swing so she got lessons for me for Christmas.

re: Auto Insurance - Uninsured Motorist Coverage (LA)
Posted by Phate on 12/13/24 at 10:21 am
If you have economic only I assume it'll specifically say economic only on the policy documents correct? My policy says Uninsured Motor Vehicle Coverage and has bodily injury limits for each person and accident.
re: Who has a 4 day work week? What do you do?
Posted by Phate on 11/15/24 at 8:55 am
My wife is a dental hygienist and she has Friday off.
Technically I have a five day work week but unless something major is going on most of my office is gone by noon on Friday.

re: Apple introduces the new edition of the Mac Mini
Posted by Phate on 11/12/24 at 6:43 pm
Because of this thread I went ahead and got one. I just bought two new monitors and I was wanting but didn't need a new home computer. I'm canceling my Sapphire Reserve this month and for November they have a 50% bonus for Apple products. I have a ton of Chase points that I'm not using right now so I figured what the hell.
