Hi. The hospital I work at is going to start offering what they call a "Capital Accumulation Plan." The way I understand it, they take pre-tax money to buy a whole-life insurance policy, and the idea is that you can save a bunch of taxes by doing this. The main rules are that you have to invest a minimum of $40k per year for 3 years, and you can start borrowing from the policy after year 5. What are the downsides to this type of product? Are the tax savings worth giving a bunch of money to another company?

I bought Carista’s OBD dongle to try to clear the ‘Inspection due’ message. I cannot figure out how to do it. Has anyone used it successfully? Has anyone figured out how to clear the message any other way ?

I just got a Buildtak Proplate to see if its adhesion is better than my Cryoplate with glue, which I've been using so far. After the first print, I have to say that I'm not impressed. I printed a flow calibration print with a 10 mm brim, and it warped a lot. Are you spraying it with alcohol to increase the adhesion?

Hi. I was wondering if the people here that print a lot of PHA have used hilbert curve for solid infill. In your experience, does it help to minimize warping?

Hello. I'm trying to re-read a short story I read many years ago, but I cannot remember the name or the author. Gemini was no help either, so I thought maybe you fine people could trump it. It was part of an anthology of short stories. The one I'm interested in is about a spaceship in which the crew does not know they are soldiers until they are close to the target, to avoid detection. The ships are organic and have long names that sound like "the exaltation of light". Everyone is fine with this except the protagonist, who, for some reason, does not respond to the trigger. I remember that the anthology also had a story about a planet in which the intelligent species was free-roaming as young, and became fixed to the ground as adults, and got energy from the temperature differential between the side that was exposed to the sun and the side in the dark. Does it ring a bell for anyone?

I wonder what the experts here think about the PLA filament from American Filament. They add an enzyme from Worry Free Plastics that they claim makes it biodegradable in about 5 years. Is this legit? If it is, how does it compare to PHA?

Hi. Does the swipe-to-type option learn to recognize your swipes with time? Because right now it is missing a lot of words for me.

Hi! I'm almost sure the display and HUD could show Google Maps information in addition to Apple Maps. Now it only shows Apple Maps. Was I hallucinating?
