Went to undergrad in early 2000s. We stayed up late in the dorms talking about the meaning of life and society and existence regularly. I think you just didn't manage to find the smart interesting people. And none of us were "culturally Jewish", sounds kind of dog whistly to me.

Regular airbrush primer will be fine on soft plastic. As always, wash with soap and water prior to priming to remove mold releasing lubricants and finga grease.

We asked them if they wanted to stay federated and no one spoke up. (Quaker joke I don't actually know the answer.)

It's written by Russian propaganda experts for US conservative readers. They know exactly how to speak like someone from the United States. It is their job and they are very, very good at it. Arguably, our discourse is the way it is because of these people.

Are you interested in Buddhism as a philosophy or a religion? If you want to be religious, I can't be much help. I think that the most fruitful aspects of Buddhism are the philosophy of the self and mindfulness mediation.

Why don't you try calling or emailing your nearest Buddhist temple? I honestly think the average temple would be quite happy to hear from a person who wants to be more active in the religion. Buddhist people tend to be very welcoming and accepting, because they're Buddhists.

There are tons of mutual funds, worth doing research there. I like Vanguard Growth index fund myself.

I think the idea that a clever young man can beat the market by making clever individual stock trades is a myth perpetuated by wall street to keep folks throwing money into the market. Casino owners want people to think that they can hit it big if they try their luck.

If your car needed a new engine, would you do this yourself or hire a professional? If your house had a gas leak, would you fix it yourself or hire a professional? Why then would you manage your own investments if you're not a financial advisor?

If you're interested in it as a hobby, put 90% of your money in a mutual fund and play slot machines with other 10%. But don't presume that playing slot machines with 100% of your savings is a sound investment strategy.

Trading individual stocks is free. Mutual funds have a minimum buy in. Your local high school theater is free to attend. Hamilton tickets are $500 minimum. This is because one of these things is worth attending.

Are you planning on day trading? Do you have access to information that other day traders do not? If not, I would put everything into a mutual fund and forget about it. Until you have more money, then I would put that money into the same mutual fund and forget about it.

Or, try buying individual stocks for a year, and see if your layman's picks outperformed a normal mutual fund. If you did not beat the mutual fund, then you have discovered why you should put everything in a mutual fund and forget about it.

I don't think I can be your guide but I would be happy to discuss Buddhism with you. I studied Buddhism as a philosophy in college and during my study abroad year in China.

What next steps are you talking about? What makes you nervous?

My first squad complete. I loved this new squat range as soon as I saw them. I'm going for a very high (for me at least) painting standard for the army, at least three touches for each element.

Mixed in some 3d printed bits, notably the helmet and shield for the Theyn. Any good dorf unit needs a stout shield up front. Also a frying pan for the squad cook.

There are a few things I'll tweak for future units. I'll simplify the scheme a little, stop picking out the elbow and knee pads in black and stop picking out the boot straps in leather. Unnecessary details that took a long time for a unit of 10. I'll ease back on the scratches on the white armor paint and decals, although I like the way the chipping came out.

I enjoy making sourdough, but I don't want to make it every week. I would like to make it maybe once a month if that. I don't like the hassle of feeding a starter constantly, it doesn't feel worth it when I'm only making sourdough every once in a while.

Is there an alternative to maintaining a starter? I've tried throwing the starter in the fridge but I'm so lazy it just becomes a little cup of mold by the time I take it out two months later.

Many thanks for your wisdom oh Bread Lemmies.

 

Browsing lemmy.world in a browser. I am on page 3 of my feed. I open a post, read it, and press the back button on the browser to return where I left off in the feed. However, instead of taking me back to where I was on page 3, the back button takes me somewhere on page 2. So Everytime I want to go back to the main feed from a post, I have to click back and then scroll to the bottom and click next page then scroll to find where I left off.

How do I fix this? Thank you.
