What happens when my target date bond fund matures?

So I have a 2028 TIPS ETF fund via Ishares. I'm curious what happens in my brokerage account (IBKR) when the bonds it contains mature in 2028. Does it get automatically liquidated into cash (i.e the principal), with the ETF disappearing from my list of assets?

Is Premier League+ only available through Starhub?

I thought there was supposed to be a standalone Premier League+ app offered by EPL ... there were tons of news stories about this a few months ago. But I don't see any such app nor a website to sign up. Is it only being offered through Starhub? I'd rather not deal with Starhub if I can ... can anyone point me in the right direction?

Netflix keeps playing after turning screen off (yes, PiP is disabled)

IpadOS 26.5

Music keeps playing as well, though Disney+ does not. Before upgrading to 26 I never had this problem. Turning off the screen used to pause video and audio.

Anyone know a fix for this?

Anyone do a B.Ed while also a parent?

My wife and I are planning on doing our B.Eds and have two young-ish kids at home.

My primary concern is about childcare: how to attend courses and ensure the kids are looked after when their school is out?

Anyone else go through this? Do B.Ed programs seek to be flexible in terms of enabling parents to manage scheduling conflicts?

Will my 5th grader be able to join french immersion?

We'll be moving to TO with a 5th grader and a 4th grader. They've been educated to this point in a French (France) school, but their French is probably not good enough yet to pass the exam for entry into the Viamonde system.

We want them to continue studying in a Francophone environment. I see there is a designated entry for 4th graders into French Immersion, but options would my 5th grader have?

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Anyone spend their teen years in Singapore? What was it like?

Boring because it's Singapore and there's "nothing to do" (as per its reputation)? Or fun because it's Singapore and so safe that you had a lot of independence to go around the city by yourself?

Competitive and stressful school experience? Or surprisingly chill and surrounded by good people?

Do you think back fondly on your SG time, or were you happy to leave?

If all women fought back (verbally, physically), would it reduce street harassment and sexual assault?

I was reading a Virginie Despentes essay, where she theorizes that high rates of rape reflect in part that women are taught not to fight back, for fear of escalating the situation and suffering worse violence. That men know women aren't likely to fight back, so they know the physical risk they incur by aggressing women is low, so they're more likely to do so.

We can extend this theory to street interactions: because cat-callers and other street harassers know women are most likely going to ignore their verbal violence, they're more likely to harass women. The risk they run is low.

The conclusion is that if women fight back as a rule, men will feel more risk and will engage less often in this behavior. I don't think the idea is to let men off the hook here but that women need to be more militant in defending themselves.

What do you make of this argument? Escalating these encounters by fighting back may incur additional risk to the woman involved, but might it also reduce globally the frequency of such assaults?

Nantes a un gros manque d'arbres

Je suis américain et alors excusez-moi pour les éventuelles erreurs dans mon français ...

Avant d'avancer à ma critique, il faut dire que votre ville est tellement charmante, à la taille humaine, animée, avec une mixité sociale intéressante (une pincée de Rennes punk, une pincée de Paris bourgeois). J'ai trouvé les nantais chaleureux aussi.

En plus, il faut reconnaître que la ville avance pas mal sur les sujets urbanistes, c'est impressionant tous ces nouveaux chantiers et projets. D'ailleurs, c'était intelligent de la mairie de mettre dans la place Royale les panneaux démontrant ces nouveaux aménagements.

Tout cela dit, le manque d'arbres était flagrant. On a passé une semaine à Nantes toute en canicule, avec des allers-retours quotidiens le long du tram 1, et c'est quasi tout de la pierre et du béton entre la gare et Commerce. Avec aucun refuge du soleil tu y crames de 10h à 20h. Je sais que la ville était aménagée pour stocker la chaleur, mais avec ces canicules qui s'enchaînent, laisser une route si fréquentée par les piétons et cyclistes totalement exposée au soleil est à 2026 un gros problème.

Et c'est pas juste là. Une autre exemple est l'ave Carnot jusqu'au pont de la Rotonde, il y a un large aménagement pour les cyclistes en mileu de l'avenue et c'est toute bitume noire, aucun abri du soleil. Même chose autour du Feydau. Je me demande aussi si ce serait possible d'ajouter des arbres au centre du cours des 50-Otages sans gêner la circulation des cyclistes.

Bon malgré la chaleur intense c'était une semaine super fun dans votre ville formidable. Je voulais juste laisser quelques mots sur un sujet de l'urbanisme qui correspond bien aux ces récents canicules.

Here's the EU model for some perspective (30C vs the GFS's 40C)

I hate to get in the way of a good doomscroll, but the GFS model that's been posted here in the last couple days must be balanced against competing models, particularly the EU's ECMWF. Which shows temps primarily in the upper 20s for next week, with a peak of around 31 on July 8.

What explains the France heat wave?

I'm trying to figure out why France gets these crazy heat waves. I have two theories as a layman:

(1) It's upper-level winds bringing the heat from north Africa. I noticed on earth nullschool that winds at 850 hpa (~20k feet) were flowing directly north from the Sahara into Spain and France.

(2) The heat is generated in place. Solar heating plus a lack of wind traps the heat in place and it accumulates over time.

Are there any pros here who mind taking a minute to ELI5?

Anyone into dark roasts like the Nordics?

I know I'm supposed to honor the bean and that a light roast will bring out its terroir, but sometimes I just want a good ole comforting coffee. Traditional coffee flavors like lemon and grapefruit. I know it's not cool anymore but I just cant help it, I want my espresso to taste like espresso.

I'm a native speaker but only got 10 on writing, what did I do wrong?

Is there some sort of unofficial way I'm supposed to structure the responses, like for IELTS? I'm a native anglophone and legit very good writer, so I was surprised by the score. There were no grammatical mistakes, I used a range of vocabulary registers, ensured that my sentences were varied in terms of structure, etc.

If your Audio-Technica AT-LP60 starts a few seconds into the first song, here's the fix

On the bottom of your turntable, on the lower right side, you'll find a hole that is labeled L.IN. There's a (recessed) plastic knob inside the hole. You'll want to turn it slightly in a counter-clockwise direction. This will move the needle back, so that it falls on the vinyl before the first track starts.

My knob was originally facing in a 10-4 (o'clock) direction. Moving it to 9-3 fixed the issue and now my needle drops ~2 seconds before the beginning of the first track, as it should.

Last thing, my knob didn't turn readily, so I had to take off turntable's bottom panel. UNPLUG THE MACHINE before doing this. You'll need to take out the screws holding the panel plus the screws holding the two bottom feet. Once I did that, I could access the knob and apply the necessary force to get it to turn.

Hat-tip to u/vwestlife who posted the L. IN fix originally. I've added some necessary detail and confirmation that this does indeed fix the issue.

Joke of a website (flight time changed, cannot successfully change ticket)

TK changed my outbound flight timing, so I'm attempting to use my one-time free change. The stupid website shows duplicate outbound flights (i.e. the same flight, twice) and forces me to reschedule both. Then when I reschedule both to my desired date/time, it says I have duplicate bookings and that it cannot make the change.

You can't make this shit up. How can a billion dollar company not run a functional website.
