It really depends on the lifestyle you want and what “retirement” means to you. Do you want to never work again or work part time? So you want to live in a home with no mortgage and minimal bills or travel the world for 6 months of every year. Your best bet is to talk to a financial advisor.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is there Fluoride in your water? Do you want it?
4·6 days agoHonestly I’m not sure. Probably the same as the chem trails and 5g, he’s all in on the conspiracies these days.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is there Fluoride in your water? Do you want it?
6·6 days agoUK here. We have fluoride in our water. My understanding is it’s good for teeth and helps prevent dental problems with little/no downsides.
My dad is a conspiracy theorist nut who thinks it’s a government mind control agent or something so both sides get purchase over here.
I know we’re talking audiophiles here but the budget option is £350!
The expanse is so good. The audiobooks are really well done. The latter books aren’t as good as the first few but I still really enjoyed them and the series ends well.
I thought the TV series of it was also excellent, really good casting and they did a great job with the space combat too.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there a way to filter news on lemmy
2·11 days agoI’m using boost, you can add filters to everything you’ve subscribed to.
I’ve run a small campaign of mother ship and a one shot. I didn’t use any visual aids other than a map of the space station as a handout. No issues whatsoever so it should be totally fine to run theatre or the mind.
If your dog is doing things you don’t want them to, restrict their access to the things you don’t want the dog getting. Maybe shut her in one room rather than give access to the whole house for example.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•2026 savings distribution feedback

Unfortunately I don’t know enough about US based finances to have any useful advice for you.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•At what point do you consider a person an alcoholic?
17·19 days agoWe use the CAGE questions in the UK as a quick screening tool.
Have you ever felt the need to Cut down on your alcohol intake? Have people Annoyed you by criticizing your drinking? Have you ever felt Guilty about drinking? Have you ever needed an Eye opener (drink first thing in the morning)?
Yes to two or more indicates problem drinking and probably alcoholism.
Other factors are drinking every day, drinking more than a few units in one go regularly, drinking to black out drunk, causing damage to yourself or others.
We spent 2 hours doing CPR on a lady who worked in our hospital, while her husband watched and cried. She was young and the cardiac arrest was unexpected so we tried everything we could. Despite all our efforts we didn’t manage to get her back. CPR is not like it looks in movies and shows, it rarely works and is brutal on the person who’s died. CPR is physically exhausting to perform, generally you rotate so you’re only doing about 1-2 minutes at a time but even with breaks it’s still very hard work. Add on the emotional shock of an unexpected death and supporting a grieving partner, it was a naff day. One of the worst parts is you’ve got to go back on the floor afterwards and carry on like it’s normal.

Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•SOMA, off the backlog after nine years
5·24 days agoTotally agree, it’s just playing ring around the rosie until you manage to get the monster/ player in the right space, there’s no tools available and no where else to go if your struggling to get past an area.
I put it in safe mode and didn’t look back until I finished it. The game is easily one of my favourite video game stories.
Really looking forward to the update post from OP about the ending.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some good media that un-glorify conflict?
1·26 days agoWas scrolling through to see if this was posted yet. Such a hard game, emotionally and mechanically. I’ve never managed to get very far through it before everything goes wrong and my characters start dying horribly (Which is entirely the point).
It’s a really good portrayal of the civilian toll of war I think.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What have scientists discovered very recently that most people should absolutely know ?
2·26 days agoAnywhere you can buy food here you can probably get alcohol. Corner shops, petrol stations, supermarkets all have booze.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What have scientists discovered very recently that most people should absolutely know ?
3·27 days agoIn the UK we measured alcohol in units the recommended limit being 14/ week. Spirits like vodka are served in 1 unit = 25ml. So their low to medium drinking is already more than the UK national recommendation by 4 drinks and you’d be getting advice on how to reduce your drinking by a Dr. Though that 450ml/week is real easy to get to that’s one vodka and coke per day if your free pouring rather than measuring. Many lay people wouldn’t consider that a problem at all.
Admittedly we do have a fairly problematic relationship with alcohol in this country.
Definitely agree with your take to make booze harder to get and more highly taxed like smoking. At least the younger generations seem to not be drinking so much.

Gaming@beehaw.org•Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of January 12th
1·28 days agoI really enjoyed it, have you started getting the upgrade paths for the pistol yet? Love that feature, it kept the iconic pistol relevant for the whole game.

Cool Guides@lemmy.ca•Learn CPR in 15 minutes for free with RevivREnglish
4·1 month agoThis is an awesome tool. Love the British Heart Foundation.
Everyone should know CPR and the recovery position.
We usually describe them as mood stabilisers, they don’t make you feel happy but they make you more able to deal with the hard stuff.

Off My Chest@lemmy.world•I spilled the beans on playing D&D and other Tabletops to a new work crew and it didn't go well.English
7·1 month agoReading this my main thought is you sound a lot like Henry Cavil, keep letting the nerd cred shine. People can be dicks, you probably got unlucky with the first response being from the ass hat then everyone else not having the guts to say that sounds cool. It’s empowering to own your nerdary, anyone who has a problem with your hobbies isn’t someone you need to worry about the opinion of. Keep being awesome.





This sounds cool but the article could do with a paragraph explaining what they are doing. My impression is using solar panels as partial roofing over farms which seems to have some quite good benefits from the article.
Is all the electricity used by the farm or is that exported to the grid?
