If credit score is a concern, you could also downgrade to a card without an annual fee.

I can second this. Picked up an 8a a few months ago. Read up on installing GOS and had no issues putting it on for the first time. Spent a few weeks reading the GOS docs/forum, exploring, and experimenting to figure out how I wanted it set up. Been so happy that my only regret is not splurging on a pro model.

Great idea. Surely punishing your country’s children for the decisions of a foreign government will end the war.

Not a vegan, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard a vegan say that. We’ve all watched nature shows. Rationale is usually a little bit deeper. Overconsumption, abuse of animals in meat/dairy industries, responsibility of humans to aim for a higher level of morality than animals, etc. Sure some go overboard, but I wouldn’t underestimate the complexity of the thinking behind it.

Compensation of certain individuals (e.g., officers, key employees, highest paid) is required to be reported on the public disclosure nonprofit tax return (Form 990). This site makes them easy to find, but the most recent filings can take a while to appear. You can visit or contact in writing any nonprofit directly and they are required to provide their public Form 990 to you.

This post feels incomplete. What alternatives to F-Droid should we be considering?

That makes a lot of sense. Appreciate the sanity check.

Planning to sell in taxable this year to raise cash so I can max out traditional 401k. Will be all long term capital gain and my calculations have me wringing out a few extra thousand in tax savings. Trick is going to be selling and buying (similar but different indices) at the same time to stay in the market since workplace doesn’t always buy precisely on payday and taxable holdings are all ETFs (versus mutual funds in 401k). More trouble than it’s worth? Wish I made enough to max out without selling, but that’s a topic for another day.

Deport him where? “Back” to India? He’s American. The word “deport” suddenly turned this call for justice that I would normally support into something reminiscent of WWII Japanese American internment camp propaganda.

I enjoyed Space Trader.

Depends on the school.

Is that the one that goes down to gifu-shi? It’s been a while.

Life is a bit busy right now with work and family, so I rarely find it convenient to devote more than a single sense to media. If my eyes are busy (driving, running, flossing…), I will listen to documentaries and science shows without video. If my ears are busy (working), I will put videos on my second monitor and mute them.

I will probably just keep working and saving to maximize the chances that my kid never has to answer to a boss for shelter, food, and health.

But after achieving FI, work should take on a new feel since my family and I won’t depend on it to survive.

I can see where you’re coming from. Those year-end distributions don’t give you much time before the 12/31 conversion deadline.

Vanguard shows YTD realized gains/losses and dividends. They also publish a report estimating percentage of qualified dividends near the end of each year. Not sure what else you would need.

I tried this a few weeks ago and it was pretty easy. A few clicks and the conversion was in progress.
