Seconding Brother laser printers. They’re workhorses and I’ve had good luck with cheap third party cartridges

You could always do in-browser Office if nothing else works. Or g-suite

An article about politics being a “team sport” with a “I agree with all of the policies of my team” cherry on top.

Probably gardening.

A few seed packets and some dirt turns into building nice cedar raised gardens, filling them all with great quality soil, expensive liquid fertilizers, various irrigation systems, and so on. And I can't just haul all that dirt in my sedan... But hey, I have 20+ tomato plants, and about as many different pepper plants every year.

It's honestly nowheer near as expensive as some of my other hobbies, but on the "a lot more money than I expected" scale it's up there.

I love that you consider parenting a hobby, lol

This doesn’t apply to furniture but the Goodwills in my area ship all the good stuff to a central location two counties away where it can be listed for sale online. The stuff in store is mostly garbage.

Honestly, niche YouTube channels. The problem is sometimes you don't want to sit through a 30-45 minute video to find the information you're after.

I’d take some clean shears and prune the black leaves, assuming it’s not entire plants. If it’s some kind of disease/blight this can help keep it from spreading.

The email I use for random website sign-up’s is an ancient hotmail account that I only check when I’m expecting a specific email. It’s like thousands of spam messages.

The more important things using my actual email are comparatively small.

I don’t think there’s a bad decision.

A CD isn’t the only option. A 2-year treasury note pays 4.82% right now. You could do that and then reevaluate in 2 years. Having more accessible/liquid assets leads to more flexibility if you need money for an emergency or even a move or downpayment or whatever.

There’s also the very remote possibility for loan forgiveness.

I don’t think the interest spread is large enough for that to be the “slam dunk” answer though. If you’re not great with money or just don’t want to deal with another administrative burden I’d lean towards just being done with the loans.

Another pic:

You should go look at the top 10 holdings of your equity funds you’re in. I bet for two of them it’s identical.

SNAXX is yielding 5.37%.

It really depends on why you’re holding the cash though- how long you plan on sitting on it. At some point it probably makes sense to lock in a longer duration t-bill/note.

I generally avoid holding cash unless there’s a specific spending goal in the next 3ish years.

So an update. I picked up WT Rare Breed and I think it’s my new favorite. Higher proof. It seemed like it had more viscosity than the others. It’s hard for to pinpoint exactly what I’m tasting, but it’s tasty. Even just based off the nose I knew I was going to like it.

It’s different enough from the 1910 that I don’t mind having both.

The FR bottle I have has been relegated to cocktails. I’ll eventually try one of the other options like a commenter suggested, but there are so many other distillers and bottles to try, who knows when I’ll come back to it.

Next time I’m drinking I’m going to make a conscious effort to get my thoughts down and start doing novice-level reviews.

Isn’t all of it encrypted though? Like I understand physical access to servers is generally bad, but you’d think once the the things are unplugged it would be difficult to access the data again without bypassing encryption. I’m not a software engineer though

What sensitive data does Twitter hold? Genuinely curious

What risks, exactly? Twitter goes down? Proprietary Twitter data gets stolen in some server heist scenario?
