Don't rule out a Roth if you only want to save for 5-10 years. You're allowed to withdraw the principal (initial 10K) at any time for no penalty/cost, so long as it's recorded properly with the IRS when you withdraw it.

Actually, they only validated up to 4xs in the product name, so take the 5x result with a grain of salt, one of the Xs aren't validated.

I love trying to incorporate different constructions I find in the Yale Grammatical Diversity Program. Currently working on "for to" constructions. My goal is just to understand how people perceive language, and this is a great resource. It isn't a collection of "wrong" ways to say things, just how a minority of people say things.

The most popular example I can think of is the song "Horse with no Name" in the chorus.

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can't remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

As a note, AMD 7000 series GPU for AV1 encode, the encoder is flawed and can only produce factors of 64x16 pixels, as well as a special 1920x1082 ratio. If your have a lot of 1080p content, it will be recorded with two lines of black pixels on the left and right, and then set to crop it out on video playback.

Just something to keep in mind if you go with that series of GPUs.

Ffmepg, whisper. Programs that are command-line only and are super useful.

It's a game designed for kids with not enough moderation/limitations for a kids game. There's literal porn games if you look in the right places (called 'condo games')

I saw a post earlier about Empress returning to game cracking. For modern video games that use Denuvo DRM, she's the only person who can really crack it, as far as I know. Singlehandedly holding up the AAA game piracy scene.

Van de Velde, who is now 29, was sentenced to four years in prison in 2016 after pleading guilty to raping the girl in Milton Keynes. He had flown to England to meet her in 2014 with full knowledge of her age, having met her on Facebook. He served 12 months in a British prison, before being transferred to his home country where he was released after a further month.

Disgusting. Convicted child rapist only sentenced to 4 years, serves only 13 months, and continues his career as if nothing happened. I thought for sure it was allegations instead of a conviction because of how they talked about it.

A famous legal case defining what is and isn't allowed for defense of property, specifically about lethal booby traps to stop trespassing. It basically says that you can't use lethal force to defend property using booby traps as they are indiscriminate and therefore cannot determine if certain criteria (i.e. reasonable fear for your life) are met.
