I don't have much power, so I just do my best in the system in which I'm born.

What's funny is how much better I do it than the right wingers I know. I will probably retire very early, and they are check to check. I don't even like this stupid system.

Yeah, I'm a driver, and I replace lights and fuses, fill up tires and fluids, change wipers, and that's it.

Anything else wrong, it's mechanic time.

Hell of a job with the alt text. Sending this to my blind homie so he can crank one out.

The people who subsidize rewards are customers paying cash/debit.

The prices are higher to cover the Visa Infinite or whatever premium card merchant fees.

~~Well, peening is hammering a bolt on the threaded side to mushroom it out to make it like a rivet, not like that's what people usually use them for.~~

I had been told that, but I guess it's not really accurate. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peening

And normally they are metal, but that exact type of hammer is a weird soft rubber one.

I was surprised they were talking about an industrial use for it. I would think this would also be a great accessibility feature.

My bad, it's federally exempt in the US. The map here is clickable and has state-by-state laws. https://www.farmworkerjustice.org/overtime-map/

Yes, like trucking, agriculture is exempt from OT, not that some employers don't choose to still pay it.

That double peen is soft face, harder rubber on the left, greenish softer rubber on the right. I have one just like it. I think it came with a mesh organizer to hammer the corner clips all the way in when assembling.

I'm not a true believer in crypto, but I used to play around with it. I have received a 5-figure USD sum of bitcoin from the MtGox settlement, and I'm considering my options. It is a true windfall. It was worth maybe $100-200 when I used to play daytrader and shop silk road with it.

We are on track for early retirement as it is, but my "smart money" intuition says pay the long-term capital gains and invest in funds, how we do everything else. More money earlier is always good.

My gambler side says to withdraw some maybe, but split the rest into a half dozen likely candidates for someday real world crypto use which may take off. I don't stay up to date on them anymore, so this would take some real research.

The weird Trumpy stuff going on with BTC makes me think it couldn't hurt to hold through the election in case prepper types panic buy it lol.

My wife says it's unexpected so just leave it as a high-risk part of our whole portfolio, but I worry she underestimates the risk and scamminess of it all.

Update: I sold the account down to 0.1 BTC today. I may sell more later on. Thanks everyone for your input.
