Yup! “Oh, she should probably go down a band size and up a cup size” popped into my head one day and I laughed at the absurdity.

I introduced my wife to the world of proper bra fit, because she’d never known any of it. No one taught her. Made me feel vaguely guilty of mansplaining, but it helped!

There are plenty of brands that follow mostly standard sizing, as I understand it. But popular brands in the US (like Victoria Secret) generally don’t.

I fell down the r/abrathatfits rabbit hole one day, years ago. It’s fascinating.

Next you’re gonna tell us that the earth is flat because you’ve never experienced curvature. 🙄

Yeah I agree, they seriously need to rethink their strategy. I’m not absolving the party.

But voters abandoning the dems because they aren’t left enough still shot themselves in the foot.

The left falls in love, the right falls in line.

Oh sure, he’s not saying don’t diversify. That was specifically about the small amounts from previous employers. Like, I had worked at a place for about a year, and the amount in that account wouldn’t be worth him taking over.

Yeah diamond interchanges kick ass. They made me nervous the first time I used one, since it was the kind where you end up driving on the opposite side of the road. But just follow signs and you’ll get where you need to go and there’s almost no risk compared to the garbage interchanges you usually see around interstates.

Doing stuff is important. But I have enough hobbies that I think I could stop working and not get bored.

Yep. My wife and I are in our thirties and have good whole life insurance policies that will supplement our retirement accounts nicely in our old age. I’ve been paying into mine for almost two decades (maybe longer, my parents started it for me and locked in good rates when I was young), my wife’s is newer. We also both have matching retirement accounts and are making sure we hit our matching totals each paycheck to draw as much from our employers as we can.

It’s not ideal, but with good planning (and stable income) you can still do well. Now, stable income is the important part. I’m a software developer, my wife works for a non-profit, so my income is generally a bit more stable than hers.

I recommend finding a financial advisor. Our life insurance guy is great and because he gets commission on the life insurance plans he doesn’t charge us for advisory services (and also doesn’t try to sell us on other stuff, he actually recommended we NOT move our old 401ks from other jobs over to him because we’d end up paying him more than we’d make, he recommended we roll them into our current employer plans).

Isn’t Teams just Microsoft’s attempt to reinvent Skype for Business as a Slack clone? I didn’t think they’d acquired it (other than acquiring Skype and fucking that up, too).

Do you have a source for this?

Oh duh, lol 🤦‍♂️

 
 

This is ostensibly the new logo and name for AlphaTauri. Kinda wish they’d just go back to Toro Rosso. Or Minardi.
