After decades of advocacy, suicide deterrent finally comes to the Golden Gate Bridge
nobody replied to seafoam1's topic in The Geek Club
You're asking the wrong question. If it cost a trillion dollars to save 1 life, would it be worth it? No. Leaders have to make these tough choices. How can we best allocate resources to do the most good. I'd argue that 224M for 30 lives a year is probably not a good investment. -
Pro-Palestinian protesters crowded the White House gates

Well let's not jump to conclusions. How many selfies did they take? -

Doesn't seem like good ROI on $224M if only 30 people per year jump. Not to mention I'm sure some jackass is going to sue the city when the get jacked up landing in that net wrong. Then the maintenance costs and rescue costs to get them out of the net. -
Just to be clear, I don't want to convince anybody of anything. It's your money, you should do what you think is best. In fact please don't do anything based on anything I say. That said, I think it depends on what your goals are. If the goal is to make as much money as you can before you die, it probably makes sense to keep an aggressive split. If the goal is to ensure you can maintain your standard of living until you die, once you hit that point, why take any risk?

If they tackle like they did against the Rams if they end up playing the 49ers, they'll lose by 30.

I am happy to see Goff get his win though.
-
Detroit doesn't deserve to win this. They haven't tackled or made any adjustments all game.

Don't you assume liquid savings should be about $200k which you'll only get 5% out of. Then you have stocks for another 400k that you'll probably remain aggressive with over the whole time which you can assume 8%. Then I'm thinking 600-ish in the 401k, you'd probably go transition to something more conservative to protect the principle so he's probably looking at 5% again toward the last 3-5 years.

All I saw was "hope to have $2M by the time you retire" which I took to mean you are probably somewhere less than that now in your retirement accounts and probably doesn't include property if you own any. So I'm assuming you probably have about 1.25M between savings, stock, and retirement accounts. I'm also assuming you wouldn't keep your retirement in stocks as you get closer to retirement. That seems legit to me.

If you guys really want to settle this, why don't you just post specific numbers?
-
If this thread is a barometer, I'd guess the peacock experiment probably worked. A lot of folks saying just pay the $6, so that's probably what the public did. Another point is nbc doesn't care about old people. They want people that don't care about spending $6 a month. If you think about it, if I'm some nbc exec, I'd be in there saying, "these people are shaming other people for not spending money on something they have already been getting. These are the exact people you want to advertise to."

What rate do you have on the loans?

I feel so bad for the kids after what 7 gay men did to them at a Houston mall.

Once again studies prove worthless if they don't say what you want. Of course, the study that disproves this study was perfect I'm sure. -
Aren't most diamond earrings fractions of a carat? A full carat would be kind of gaudy.
-
Kind of the same thing, but you'll have to hope peacock new subscribers are pathetic. If peacock gets a bunch of new subscribers, they'll call this a success keep doing it.

Nah, chargers is the best job. A good coach is in the championship game with that roster.

Do liberals still think that covid didn't come from the Wuhan lab that Fauci was funding?
nobody replied to Frozenbeernuts's topic in The Geek Club
We'll do the same thing we did this time around. We'll let others be first in line, and then we'll observe what happens. If it's the same thing as last time, and it doesn't seem to matter if we get it or not given our particular health circumstances, we probably won't get it then either. If it does seem to work, we'll all get it. The only difference between what you described as your process and what most conservatives did was: We let your team beta test it. Your team seemed to get mad we weren't standing in line behind you. When it was very obvious a few months later that if we're healthy or we already had covid, it didn't matter if we took it or not, many of us decided not to take it. Your team seemed to get mad we didn't listen to people who told us we were going to die if we didn't take it because SCIENCE and when we resisted it being forced upon us. -

Dude thinks cdub mocking Jews by sarcastically putting oy vey at the end of a bunch of posts is "almost as bad" as raping toddlers. He's so desperate for the woke mob to pat him on the head, he can't even see why his statement is a problem. Talk about a nut job. -

And you managed to find a new low for yourself. You really are just a horrible person. -
Scott Pioli maybe should get some credit. Belichick wasn't GM back then was he?
-
I'd be trying to go to the chargers if I was Belichick, but I doubt they're going to give him 20 mil a year or something. I certainly can see him going to Atlanta though. Blank seems like a guy that would love having a guy as old as Belichick in there.

Time for Bob Kraft to do the right thing. Fire Bill Belichick
nobody replied to edjr's topic in FFToday Board
Kraft finally did the right thing after 10 years. -
Belichick out.
-
So the jobs ranked in order of most appealing to worst presumably are: Chargers Alabama Atlanta Seattle Tennessee Las Vegas Washington New England Carolina

You can roll some of that into a self-directed IRA. You should call them up.
