F250 is super common for construction fleet vehicles.

I love your thoughts here. I hadn't ever thought of ways you can last minute engineer a way for the vehicle to keep the pedestrian from being crushed rather than thrown up

Why doesn't the image show as a preview?

I like this - but would companies that fail (in being second) not get credit for their work? You could imagine the second place actually having a more effective product at the end.

Penises are so weird. I'm glad no one can tell my level of arousal unless they are looking at my underwear or under it... Which by that point I probably am okay sharing that information.

Tangential note - had a fun conversation with my person the other day on how I'm used to the erect penis as "normal" and how it looks funnier when it's not whereas for him it's the opposite!

Maybe! I had my eyes closed so didn't see what was happening until I opened them. I kind of want to experiment more.

Wait - can you explain this further?

Why depreciating asset?

Also, they probably aren't selling it right? Just using as a rent-free option after paying mortgage to lower cost of living?

What am I missing?

I think you're also a brilliant fellow human.

This explains so freaking much about how everyone is always terrified of Canadian health care when it works decently well. (Perfect? No!) But so many of their problems in accessing specialists are identical to ours. (Most common argument I hear.)

And it was just so much easier getting on antidepressants and switching up my birth control methods while I was in Canada than if I had tried the same in the US.

I want to test this out. Let's see how it goes. Today I went skiing and I have a pet rabbit.

Holy shit. I expected at least one typo

As a female bodied person - can I get an explanation?

As someone who regularly mispronounces this as rhyming with almonds I feel a little attacked

I also say the following wrong: Ikea, Nutella, idea. Somehow my bilingual brain just gives up.

 

Hi all -

I need reassurance that having 60-80k in cash isn't wild if we plan to buy/look at buying a home in the next 2-3 years. We're in a DINK lifestyle in a LCOL area and are easily saving $2k+ towards specifically a down payment per month.

Currently: 8k is in a Vanguard account and has been invested in index funds for about 2-3 years now 10k is in treasury funds 5k is abroad in a high interest account that's locked for about another year from a grandparents inheritance 5k is in a CD making ~5% APY

I'm thinking that as we start building up more I'll be trying to keep opening 3-12 month CDs on a regular basis as long as rates stay at 5%

But I'm super risk tolerant and part of me sees all the cash laying around as a waste when I could add to the Vanguard account with more stocks. Mostly because until now I haven't had a real timeline for buying and it always seemed so far in the future that keeping it in stocks made sense.

Can someone help me think through what I'm giving up with both options? 5% isn't bad for now but I don't think rates are going to stay so high forever either.
