newtonianrules··on Retirement Is Dead
> Instead of 7.5%, make it 10% or even 15%, 20%, whatever it takes. that takes self discipline out of the equation and fixes the imbalance between spending and saving.

No thanks, I’d rather it be half what it is now in the US with the other half be investable by myself. Just putting that into an index fund would have resulted in significantly better returns.

newtonianrules··on Dwarf Fortress' creator says the industry's in shambles over AI
Does it seem like companies just aren’t that well run anymore? I mean, companies seem to be having massive layoffs and placing ever more work on the remaining employees. At what point will the remaining employees just collapse?

Are we just reverting to the mean after years of zero interest rate policy? Would love for folks with experience working in tech in the 90s and 00s especially to chime in.

newtonianrules··on Balcony Solar: $1.74/watt direct plug-in solar
Yeah that’s my worry. Curling iron, hair dryer, etc. Never more than one at a time though.

Could I move the outdoor one to a separate breaker? Or would that require rewiring everything?

newtonianrules··on Balcony Solar: $1.74/watt direct plug-in solar
Does any know how these kind of setups work for shared GFCI circuits? Like if I have a couple bathrooms on the same circuit as an outdoor GFCI plug I’d like to use with 1200 watts of panels, is that doable?
