I'm thinking about how everyone younger than me at work "schedules a call". I get it but that's tremendously slow. Just pick up the phone and talk. It's not hard, is often much more productive, and so much faster.
Then there's the people who only communicate via email. GTFO! I'm trying to run a business here. /rant
I know it's not Heavy Metal Magazine but I figured some here would be interested. The entire run of 1984 Magazine is available for $5 here: https://archive404.com/a/downloads/-/7b8e91cd58b41b2c/ccfe74d57bc67f8b
Well worth it. Now if they could do the same with Epic Magazine, I'd be all set.
I charged at a Tesla charger and when it was done I got a text message (that I now can't find) saying that a "new account with Shell Recharge had been completed" or something to that effect. The MyBMW app, under Charging>Services>Shell Recharge says "unavailable". I never got another notice from Shell nor can I find an account on the website. What am I missing?
Update: I found the charge on a credit card. I have no real idea how they connected me to the account but I'm sure BMW/Tesla/Shell have ways of talking to one another. Thanks everyone!
title. I'm new to my machine and still getting comfortable with it but I can't imagine it works all that well when I have a cold or flu. Curious as to what others do.
I just came back from Tokyo and realized I’m a bit of a stationery and mechanical pencil freak. Where in town can I get my fix?
I introduced my kids to the expression “putz around” and they found it hilarious.
For a while now, I do my best to insert old expressions to make me sound extra old. It makes them laugh.
You?
I’m in Tokyo and just came across this display and book. Maybe it doesn’t qualify as a TCG but I thought some on this board might find it interesting.
It’s become popular again (or never stopped being popular). I’m sitting at a cafe enjoying my iced beverage and it comes on and I realize, AGAIN, just how fantastic a piece of music it is. Takes me right back to the 80s. What a great time to be a high schooler.
I just learned about these. I'm curious as I'm using the Google TV Streamer with the stock TV speakers and the sound is not always great and the volume is sometimes all over the place. I've tried fixing it but I've just learned to live with it. These new speakers seem to be a decent answer to better (not great?) sound without spending a bundle. My house is small as are the TV rooms so I don't need much.
Thoughts? Any other inexpensive, easy to plug and play alternatives?
New i4. This error isn't allowing me to link the app to the car. The dealership told me it would clear itself up in a couple of days. WTF? Not the best start. Any advice on how to fix this?
Cell signal is strong (I'm in a major metro area in the US) so that's not it.
Just got my i4. I’m in the US. What adapter do you recommend when using Tesla Superchargers ?
Mild inconveniences I'm guessing but I'd like to be prepared. What works better, worse, differently? Thanks!
It’s the first novel I’ll read by Woolf and I have only a passing sense of her style, mostly from the movie The Hours and the little bit I’ve read about her.
Who’s with me?
This segment about how music conveys emotion pops into my head often. Usually when listening to a song I love. Worth listening to again https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/segments/187725-how-music-conveys-emotion
Post some of your favorites.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, I just want to make sure before I consider one of their deals. Any advice (pro or con)?
Thanks.
So many are terrible. Have you found the perfect reading chair? if so, please provide a link to a picture or where I can buy it. It's the missing piece in my home library.

Bill Bengen came up with the 4% rule back in '94. Here he is interviewed by Christine Benz and they cover a wide range of topics mostly about portfolio withdrawal rates but also portfolio construction and other related topics.
At the 25 minute mark, when addressing asset allocation, he states the following: "...My research indicates that In the accumulation phase up to 5 years of the retirement date, investors are best served by holding 100% in stocks at all times and just ride the ups and downs because it'll compound very nicely over long periods of time."
Is this what you recommend for clients? Curious what you think.
I suggest people listen to the entire episode as there is some additional context that may provide clarity on what Bengen is saying but the quote, I feel, is self contained.
Desperately. I’m googling like crazy just to get an idea of what The Unspeakable Aklu looks like but really, all of it needs visuals.
I’m this far away from having AI mock something up so I can visualize it better.
Loving the book btw. Rollo is my favorite so far.
