My entire adult life, I've heard various people tell me that I need to score my tabs after putting them on "so no one can steal them". I've known many people like myself that find this idea absurd, and don't bother with scoring. How did this idea become mainstream advice?

Basically the title. They're going to encounter animals they've never seen before, or notice a complete lack of familiar animals. They're going to notice the none of the plants are the same, and that there aren't any domesticated plants other than what they may be carrying. They might try to go back the way they came and find it impossible.

I can't sleep, so I'm running some numbers in my head. I have a mutual fund that I plan to invest in, and wanted to make some financial goals and projections for the next 10, 20, and 30 years. I turn 30 this year and I'm likely to start a new job that will last for at least 1 year, so long term planning is probably a good idea at this new phase in my life.

My primary goal is to retire as soon as possible by living off of the earned interest. This is how I plan to invest. I have 3 different investment plans, based on various estimates on what my discretionary income will be. The plan is that I will reinvest all interest until I retire. I marked the retirement age, along with the estimate for what the interest income will be. The conservative assumption is the baseline, where my current salary is at roughly $40k per year with $200/mo as discretionary income available to invest. I want to keep my expenses at approximately this level until I retire. The aggressive goal is what I plan to strive for assuming the next 10 years go well, and the middle is a realistic goal I believe I can achieve.

Conservative: $200/mo only 

• 10 yr income: 7,250
• 20 yr income: 21,750
• Retire at 56: 43,450
• 30 yr income: 58,000

Estimated: $1500/mo for 1 yr, $500/mo after

• 10 yr income: 14,700
• 20 yr income: 45,800
• Retire at 48: 41,250
• 30 yr income: 107,300

Aggressive: $1500/mo for 3 yr, $3000/mo after

• 10 yr income: 43,300
• Retire at 40: 50,950
• 20 yr income: 123,000
• 30 yr income: 311,300

Hey y'all, on this beautifully lazy Sunday we're getting stoned and watching one of the great two parters within the franchise.

I'm watching TNG s4e26/s5e1 "Redemption". There's a scene where Worf's honor is restored, by grabbing and bloodying Gowron's d'k tahg. This got me thinking, Klingons absolutely adore blood rituals. Presumably, 24th century medicine makes contracting an STD a trivial issue. However, 21st century equivalent medicine would be far more limited.

Hey ya'll, it's stoned posting pt3, may day edition. I'm taking tomorrow off and so naturally I smoked a j in celebration. I'm also taking a detour from my place on tng to watch bar association!
