Does this mean retirement accounts - 401k's, IRA's, etc? If so, why is everything in stable value (usually found in 401k's, not IRA's)?dsad13 wrote:Retirement: 240k (Almost all Stable Value)

Not a reason in the world that I can think of that a premium shipping service should be tied to something like video streaming.VaR wrote:I feel like Amazon Prime for shipping is not really comparable in that the streaming video service that it comes with is where the value is at this point.
I think the issues you described are anything but a "free market". A core element of a free market is pricing transparency. Based on your description and those of others on this thread - pricing is anything but transparent.mortal wrote:What it really amounts to is the 'free market' rationing healthcare.
Latte at your local starbucks/coffee shop is a lot cheaper.scienceguy wrote:I am intrigued by the idea of joining our fancy local country club even though I don't play golf or tennis. I like the idea of having someplace really close that I can go and get dinner, go to the pool, hang out in sort of luxury, and bump into friends and socialize without having to pre-plan. I think I will not because I think I don't quite have enough income to justify the stupidity of the expense, but if my income went up a $50-100K a year (which could happen), I think I would do it.

Must be complicated. Moisture (as I would think would be in a pressure cooker) usually creates problems with searing. Not sure how they would overcome the moisture in the cooker. They must have figured it out though.hicabob wrote:In fact it has a sear button that works very well. From an enginerds point of view, the "pot" is heavy gauge stainless which sits on top of a form fitting, quite powerful heating element with a spring thermostat in the middle. Like a decent rice cooker, the thermostat controls the heating element which is the beauty of the instant pot - servoed heat in a pressure cooker.leonard wrote:So, how do you get any browning/searing on meat for flavor?
Darn. I hadn't even considered the shirt. I mean I wear a XXL and you clearly point out that a large is well - a "Large". And of courser the cloth. The cloth!an_asker wrote:I agree.leonard wrote:[...]I realize we are talking total budgets here. $15k is a lot of total budget for one year for vacations.
Also, the largest shirt anyone should wear is "Large", which is really too big in itself - any size bigger than that, and you're wasting cloth material
