  1. Even independent living in a retirement community can run $3-6k/month or more. And some communities have huge entry fees ($100k+ up front) that they hold until the tenant leaves
  2. likely an unpopular opinion: nobody should *rely* on SS to cover their expenses in retirement. If you plan for retirement in a manner that does not take SS into account, then you can treat any SS money you get as an add't bonus entry =-= Practical SS advice: the longer you can hold off before collecting SS, the higher the monthly SS payment amount will be. (In other words, don't start collecting at 62 if you can afford not to)
  3. One economist says you can retire on just $50,000-$100,000 in total savings, citing experience of actual retirees as evidence 85% of retirement-age Americans (65 to 74) said they were "living comfortably, or at least doing OK" when asked how well they were doing financially Only 15% said they were struggling. The finding matters, Biggs says, because most retirees have much less than $1 million in the bank. In the federal survey, the typical senior who reported a satisfactory retirement had $50,000 to $100,000 in savings. “It’s impossible to find any evidence that seniors need even a fraction of $1.46 million in savings to be financially secure,” Biggs wrote. By his argument, retirees don’t need nearly so much savings as financial planners say they do. source: https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2024/06/07/retire-without-a-million-dollars/73969717007/
  4. Comparing Canales to Reich --- Dave seems happy/pumped to be doing what he's doing (and Dan, too). The player interactions that were shown may be isolated, but it appears that the team is buying into the positive outlook that Dave projects Definitely a better attitude vs Frank, who seemed to be going through the motions - and whats-his-name who was over his head and trying to not get exposed
  5. 2.8 seconds as a goal? what was the release timing last year?
  6. Coke is still the top soda in America. But the runner up spot, long held by Pepsi, now belongs to Dr Pepper. After years of slowly gaining market share, Dr Pepper inched ahead of Pepsi as the number two soda brand in the country in 2023, according to market share data from Beverage Digest, a trade publication Coke: 19.2% Dr Pepper: 8.3% Pepsi: 8.3% (lower than Dr Pepper when carried out to more decimal places) Sprite: 8.1% Diet Coke: 7.8% https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/03/business/dr-pepper-pepsi/index.html
  7. For those people who don't get NBC via other means, this is an option for them to get the SNF broadcast

  12. They don't say the timeline. The jags redo is a... uh.. four year project?
  13. The one thing Tepper should copy from the Falxons is Blanks insistence on having affordable food/bev as an option. You want a bucket of popcorn? $2 Small bottle of water? $1 Cheap crap beer? $5 Nachos? $3 (We'll make enough $ from those who want the good stuff that the few cheap prices won't hurt the bottom line)
  14. Looks nice. Combo of the outside of Allegient with some nice outdoor viewable spaces. Prob some PSL owners going to lose their seats if they have to tear some out for some of that work
  15. The NFL is about to increase the use of technology in its officiating. The league is close to using an electronic system for measuring first downs and will expand the use of instant replay as an officiating tool in 2024. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2024/06/02/nfl-electronic-first-downs-replay-assist/
  16. also consider improving portion sizing. A good food scale seems like a silly purchase, but it's a handy tool to have for various things (baking! portioning for freezer! burger patty making!) Instead of everyone at the table getting a 12-16oz steak, the average home meal should really be about 4-6oz of red meat per plate. So split that steak in half for double the meals.
  17. If you have an irrigation sprinkler system at the house or are contemplating putting one in: tie it into a separate water meter instead of the primary water line to the house. The primary water line will bill you for both water and sewer, while the irrigation-only meter will bill you for only water usage. Cutting out the sewer portion of the bill when you're only doing outdoor watering will save you money in the long run
  18. Agreed w/ above. use cool/cold water wash/rinse unless you have a specific reason to use hot. consider using a lower temp dry cycle instead of Medium Heat if you'd like as well. Don't use "normal" or "hot" if you can avoid doing so
  19. For red meat, consider ordering online vs going to a local store. Snake River, Creekstone, and other reputable steak places (NOT Omaha or other mass-market advertisers) often have sales of prime NY or ribeye primals that you can cut down to your own desired steak sizes. Sale prices (again, for prime) can be lower per pound vs buying locally. It might only be $1/lb less, but it's still less cost and higher quality. You may also have a farmer out in the sticks that butchers/sells their own meat off the farm that could be worth trying out as well. Sams Club and Costco meat prices are also competitive vs grocery store, and also seem to be generally higher quality/turnover vs grocery stores. (Costco does "blade tenderizing", which some people aren't fond of but shouldn't be a concern in general) For chicken, grocery store sales will be better pricing than Sams/Costco. Sams will have Giant-Sized Chicken Pieces compared to grocery stores chicken sizes - which may not parcel out well to an individual household's meal planning needs. Costco's chicken pricing may be a smidge higher but they also package for the freezer for you
  20. Seems there's a class action lawsuit claiming antitrust rules were violated by the NFL with how it handled DirecTV Sunday Ticket. The suit is asking for individual team subscriptions, and potential for each customer to get as much as $2k in refunds If this works out, could be a good day for fans Actual details in the link https://brobible.com/sports/article/nfl-sunday-ticket-antitrust-lawsuit/
  21. Time to change your ticketmaster (and likely, your Panthers ticket account) passwords. Ticketmaster customers' full names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and order history information including ticket purchase details and Ticketmaster event information. hackers also allegedly have customers' partial payment data which includes names, the last four digits of their credit card numbers, and card expiration dates. https://mashable.com/article/ticketmaster-data-breach-shinyhunters-hack
  22. BIG fan of the pylon and line marker camera technology that's come along in recent years. It's definitely helped a lot for replays
  23. Biggest issue isn't whether the ball is over the line or not, but being consistent with ball placement when the player is ruled down
