I'm lanky. I have long legs and arms. I'm only 5'10", but I sit with the seat one click away from all the way back. My elbow fits onto the armrest at the stock height just fine. My shoulder is level. I have the extended armrest, because I fell into the hype when I bought the car, but after a little bit I think the stock height is fine. When I extend the armrest, my shoulder feels like it's being pushed up. With my seat back and my lanky arms, stock kind of fits perfectly. Am I alone?

Other note, I'm probably going to get an armrest pad and sell the armrest extension. Any recommendations on pads? Anyone want the extension?

I see people posting about wanting to get the giveaways, but I don't understand why. Maybe they're younger and weren't around when giveaways were actually good?

The quality has gone below happy meal toy level. Any shirts are always small even if they say XL. The material of the shirts is like trash bag plastic. Stitching on hats is like summer camp quality. I know I'm not alone in this.

The Jim Palmer jerseys were absolutely insulting. The hoodie a few years ago, ketchup/mustard/relish shirts, multiple Hawaiian shirt nights, multiple jersey nights, etc., were all small and cheap. I couldn't fit into any of them as a large shirt guy, and my wife couldn't wear them because they were so unbreathable.

I went to the Sandy Koufax jersey night at Dodgers Stadium last year. That's an actual nice jersey. I have many hats and shirts from Camden Yards that were nice, but everything in the last like 5 years or so is trash. People really need to stop feeding the hype of this stuff.

And I had a vendor add 20% tip last week at the concession stand in the upper deck without asking me, so that is still happening, but another point for another day.

Edit: they're not free. The tickets cost more on those days and people spend hours in line. Your time isn't free, and you're spending more.

Also, I have some giveaways that are 20+ years old and still in great shape.

Edit 2: if anyone wants a bunch of miscellaneous bobble heads from the last decade, let me know lol

I just downloaded Atlas, and I have no idea what any of this means. I know there's the discord, but is there an actual like list of what everything is, what it means, what's a target or anything? Basically, how do you learn what any of this is?

Has anyone had a wood burning fireplace insert installed and can you recommend a company? What did you pay?

Thanks!

How many people can actually afford maxing a 457? That's $24,500 a year. How many people here actually max it out and what is your salary?

​

My salary is shy of $100k. 7% comes out for a pension. After all other paycheck deductions, I'm at around $64,000. I max a Roth and get about $7500 into the 457.

Anyone able to buy fractionals of USFR or SGOV yet?
