Schwab IRA Rollover Account Review

  • blah blah blah boilerplate letter
  • opt-out of having us share your financial information with our Affiliates!
  • unless we hear from you in writing we'll assume you're totally ok with this violation of privacy!
  • oooh, or you can call and give a stranger on the phone your super important identity information to maybe opt out
  • ooh, or you could fax the same form!

wtf. even worse, these are California mandated requirements... other states don't require the financial institutions to offer an opt-out, and federal privacy laws for finance, they're not even as usefully useless as HIPAA.

🀍 2nd Person Gameplay 🀍

Presently laying in bed, watching a PS5 saved game from Cyberpunk 2077 (PL) being played on a Nintendo Switch 2 β€” and seeing the graphics quality and frame rate remain impressive throughout heavy fire-fights. It's taking him a bit to adjust reaction fluidity from the PS5 controller to the Switch 2's gyroscopic features, but overall the game looks amazing on this mobile platform!

I sure do love this type of gaming, for me it's like campaign viewing all the time, plus observations and opinions on plot choices. It's my favorite for immersive games (Bethesda everything, CDP-Red, Mass Effect, etc) feeling reminiscent of an interactive movie series. also relationship together-time is so much better than someone playing alone wherever in the same house.

Sometimes, after a long or stressful day, retreating to sit and relax in bed, often my thoughts drift back to riding in The Headlands - most recently spring 2017, and reaching back to the early 2000s.

It wasn't just the memory, but the feeling of the endless pulse where every moment is beautiful, every hill climb is perfect, and you never want to stop. Six days per week, 1000kcal per ride on moderate days, every perfect morning a perfect sunrise.

πŸŒ‡ Guten Morgen aus Chicago πŸŒ‡

Nach Osten der Sonne entgegen
die Ufer des Michigansees
grüßen den Morgen

πŸŒ‡ Guten Morgen Chicago πŸŒ‡

Another beautiful sunrise from the shores of Lake Michigan, which seems more like one of the Great Inland Seas. Every morning, watching these sunrises the likes of which I've not seen since childhood on the Eastern Seaboard, feels like being at the Atlantic ocean.

How about some science curiosity...

> During the middle Pleistocene era, the area now submerged under the Great Lakes had been a lowland river system. As glaciers advanced and retreated they carved these areas into the Great Lakes and filled them as they melted.
> The preservation of fossils in Michigan resumed when the last glaciers withdrew from the state. Between 17,000 and 13,000 years ago, much of Michigan's icy covering had disappeared.
> After the glaciers melted much of the state was covered in large lakes made of glacial meltwater. By 10,000 years ago many of these lakes had dried. Forests of spruce and fir grew on the newly exposed terrain.

> - The Pleistocene (plaΙͺstΙ™ΛŒsiːn), referred to colloquially as the Ice Age, is the geological epoch that lasted from c. 2.58 million to 11,700 years ago, spanning the Earth's most recent period of repeated glaciations.
>
> - The Cenozoic Era (siːnΙ™Λˆzoʊ.Ιͺk, lit. 'new life') is Earth's current geological era, representing the last 66 million years of Earth's history.

@[email protected] sure sure, I'll check it out

@[email protected] ooh fun, let's play blame the messenger! great solution.

@[email protected] @[email protected] yes! I was just mentioning that in another response. love gemini, still need to setup a server. 🀩

@[email protected] @[email protected] that's a great page. reminds me of a purposeful design choice from the Gemini protocol project; it's all text for similar reasons.

🀍 Appeal to the Browser Goddesses 🀍

Can we please make it a thing where 32GB of RAM isn't an insufficient amount for day to day web browser usage? Getting an OOM core dump for that reason is inexcusable.

  • Should the Zoom browser app really need 2GB on a single tab when it's already downscaling a 1080p feed to 320p on an enterprise account?
  • Should Amazon's website really need 1GB per tab just to view the cart or a ~800Mb for a single simple product page?
  • Please remind me how an MKdocs fully static page with a single 400k image and no datatables or fancy JS somehow require 242Mb?
  • Or perhaps shed some light on the requirement where Google's main page with a single search form somehow needs ~500Mb

There are no "good reasons" for these inefficiencies. We don't suddenly have better search fields or compressed jpegs now vs a decade ago with 1/10th of the system resources.

@X_[email protected] indeed, which is why I run those from an isolated jail. it's a slight amount of cli commands but otherwise nicely secured.

@[email protected] Brave is awesome overall, and at present their sync chain method has been nearly impervious to split-brain conflicts across multiple devices.

Otter browser is ultra minimalist approach, has almost no chrome or aesthetics to alter, which is a benefit and detriment depending on use case. I like using it for single window admin apps (iKVM, iDRAC, PiKVM, etc) due to the lower resource load.

@[email protected] hello bot πŸ‘€, how goes it?

 

Perhaps one day the internal browser wars will subside, my transit history will persist a single cache, my settings and extensions and preferences will export to a single file...

One can dream... instead there's...

Firefox
LibreWolf
Chromium
Ungoogled-Chromium
Iridium
Otter
Brave (via linuxulator)
Vivaldi (via ^^)

The first four receive an approximate equal share of my attention. Loader scripts for multi-profile non-Singleton-Locked states, alterations to pixel/dpi scale, de-clutterization, dark-plugins, blockers, ooooooh make it stop

@JackbyDev Why would that be a question at all? Buy a domain name and take care of your dns records.

that's an odd way to say that you don't own any domains. that's step one, but does it even need to be said?
