@grok @typesfast @crazybirdredux @grok what kind of cranes did they use in 1956 to get the containers on and off the ship? Did they stack the containers vertically? Were they the shipping containers we're used to today, or another shape/size format?

Lmao the Japanese would like a word with you

Is this the first time the Navy’s opened fire on a container ship?

@thesamparr @levelsio I’d prefer the 2% rule too but currently i’m playing the 10% rule.
English

My strategy is and has been the same for the last 10+ years
Don't spend, but save up everything, invest it, and try live off the 4% returns
4% is the "safe withdrawal rate", this is the percentage of your investment portfolio you can withdraw each year without running out of money over a given time horizon, as in your balance stays the same even after inflation
I have many friends who spend most of their money on expensive purchases of things tha depreciate in value (and I too have a Tesla Y that does that 😂) but if you do that you'll never get to any state of FIRE (retire early) where you can live off of your investments
Many people in FIRE have relatively humble goals: $600K means $2,000/mo from your investments to live off forever, multiply that and $6M means $20,000/mo forever
There's obviously caveats: do investments like ETFs keep returning forever or not, nobody knows. Diversifying your investments into other things like commodities (gold), real estate, and some angel investing also can work!
The point is to spend less, invest more and then spend from what you take out of your investments
@levelsio@levelsio
So Daniel Radcliffe aka Harry Potter instead of spending his money, actually invested his money And now he makes $660,000/mo just from investment returns (probably ETFs) Essentially a perfect FIRE (financial independence retire early) story Great work 10/10 👏

ARE PEOPLE TYPING FULL SENTENCES IN UPPERCASE SO OFTEN WE NEED A HUGE BUTTON FOR THIS? (ht @joshuakeay)

Here's the thing, @delta: You make enough money. And nor'easters like this one happen. And yet? You don't hire enough people to deal with the clients that are disenfranchised with cancellations. I am on hour two of being on hold. This ain't great.
Bill Schulz@BillSchulz
Preemptively canceling my flight until Wednesday, when the snow isn't even sticking to the ground right now, is slightly egregious, @Delta. Extending my stay, at where I'm supposed to go, for FREE, is what you absolutely have to do. Otherwise? You got some bad publicity problems.
